We started the day with a journey to the iconic Fujian Tulou, the fascinating circular earthen buildings rich with history and culture. These ancient Hakka structures offered a glimpse into traditional communal living. The next day we ventured to Gulangyu Island where we wandered through its winding lanes. We stumbled upon quaint cafes, lush gardens, and panoramic sea views that took our breath away. Stay tune for the next video where we take a brief trip to Xiamen's botanical garden before heading to Changting to explore its heritage sites under the night sky.
