We had an extra day in Xiamen (夏门)and we were able to turn it in to a very nice simple tour. We meet a man out side the airport and hen agreed to takes to our free hotel at some distance from the airport. He was not busy that day so we hired him, to show the sights in Xiamen. We toured the beatuful beaches on the Taiwan straights where you can see the Island of Taiwan in the distance. We also got to see a sea bridge that perhaps will one day join Taiwan and the Mainland with a highway and high speed rail. We also visit a Buddhist temple and had lunch at a sea food restaurant where Xiu got to pick out the fish for the meal. Wonder local restaurant. We also visited a small island village where we shopped and meet new people and saw the local historic goverment buildings. 

 

我们在厦门多了一天,于是就把这一天变成了一个非常简单的旅游行程。我们在机场外遇到一个人,然后他同意带我们去距离机场有一段路的免费酒店。那天他没什么事情,所以我们聘请他带我们参观厦门的景点。我们游览了台海美丽的海滩,在远处可以看到台湾岛。我们还看到了一个海上大桥,也许有一天它会通过高速公路和高铁把台湾和大陆连接起来。我们还参观了一座佛教寺庙,并在一家海鲜餐厅吃了午饭,小秀可以挑选要做的鱼。餐厅很棒。我们还参观了一个小岛村庄,在那里购物、认识新朋友,还看到了当地的历史政府建筑。
