I've never tried road trips in China. Taking HSR is much cheaper than toll and gasoline。
BTW, i don't eat anything, I have some certain inclinations.

i enjoy both, special love for the flexibility of road trips though, some quite remote places are not connected to public transportation.

Picky？i'd rather say conservative. Like in Wuhan I alway have my breakfast in one place. I'm nostalgic.

Chapter Six, A New Haicang
19 February 2015

It was the first day of Chinese Lunar New Year. People are mostly staying at home as in tradition. But for Mr.Xu, who is from northern China and currently working for a project in Haicang District of Xiamen, was eager to drive Mr. and Mrs. Bakshi to show this district he loves and serves for.

Driving in the new Haicang District, a suburban and industrial region

Haicang Lake, the centre of New Haicang
Mind the water is seawater, linked to the sea by canal. The whole region is base on reclamation.

Visiting Experience Hall of Information Consumption Across the Taiwan Straits

Overlooking downtown Xiamen of Xiamen Island, on the platform of Experience Hall of Information Consumption

What are these animals?
They are beyond my imagination

Walking by the Haicang Lake

The year of Sheep，Goat or Xiyangyang?

I love the design of that building..! So post-modernist !

Haicang Citizen Plaza

A set of Chinese lanterns
It said Chinese Dream, then Jade Emperor came. LOL

A celebration of new year from Xiamen City Calligrapher Organisation.

I love the design of that building..! So post-modernist !

Seriously, this time at midnight?

I love the design of that building..! So post-modernist !

China is now a total experimental park of post-post-post modern architects. Sometimes I'll think give some room for Chinese styles! But thanks to Xiamen, it also has some very beautiful Jiagen Style buildings, see Xiamen University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/集美大学. Also Xiamen North Railway Station is of this Jiagen Style.

Chapter Seven, Stone Chamber Zen Garden
19 February 2015

In the afternoon of New Year Day, Mr. Xu took Mr. and Mrs. Bakshi to a temple in Haicang District, called Stone Chamber Zen Garden. (I hope this literal translation makes sense).

since I call u a sinologist, then a small test for maintaining this name, what are these four red characters and their meaning respectively? @Nihonjin1051 @Nihonjin1051
