The five tourist spots of Bushan are Shishan House, Twelve Caves, Yi Ai House Road, Ting Chao Tower, and Xiao Lan Pavilion. Half of the Twelve Heavenly Caves: Upon entering this picturesque place, you will see a very charming maze-like flower viewing garden. The Twelve Caves are winding and easy to get lost in, like a small mountain labyrinth, full of fun, with passages that only allow one person to pass through. It is very suitable for exploring, looking for the twelve zodiac signs, or taking photos! But be careful! The steps are quite narrow. Forty-Four Bridge: It is said that the name of the bridge comes from the age of the owner, Lin Jia'er, when the bridge was built. Appointed after the age of 44. On a sunny day, you can enjoy the scenery of the blue sea and sky, and the sparkling waves; when it rains, you can hear the sound of the waves. The winding stone bridge and steps are shaped like dragons and snakes. On the bridge, there are pillow stones, fish viewing platforms, Yue Pavilion, Qianbo Pavilion, Zhao Pavilion, etc. The cushion flow stone is very large, and it is engraved with Lin Erjia's 'Zhen Liu' ink marks. The bridge winds around the rocks, just like water being divided by rocks and then melted by rocks, with a unique flavor. On the bridge, the Duoyue Pavilion is the best spot in Shuzhuang Garden to enjoy the sea view. Piano Museum: The museum is divided into two floors, with no admission fee required, and photography with flash is prohibited inside. Touring the Piano Museum is like browsing through a century of piano development history, with many priceless pianos of various sizes from around the world, some even bizarrely shaped.

I declare this is the most beautiful corner of Xiamen🤩 Location: Gulangyu Dadeji Seaview Bathing Beach｜Shuzhuang Garden I love strolling around Gulangyu in the evening. Every time I go to Gulangyu, I feel like I'm escaping from Xiamen. It's quiet, no cars, only walking. I feel like my whole being slows down. Every second is very pleasant.

Gulangyu on a sunny day is really comfortable! Walking quietly in the villa alley, the blue sea and the green seawall. Sharing three places I often go to, good for taking pictures and comfortable ✔ Shuzhuang Garden, a Suzhou garden by the sea. Walk to the side closest to the sea, stand on the stairs and take pictures of the small castle by the sea. ✔ Sunlight Rock, take pictures at the peak during sunset, avoid noon time; ✔ Dadeji Bathing Beach, the beach is not big and there are not many people, take pictures under the green rocks and big trees towards the direction of the Twin Towers; . 🦞About food: We went to the Lugang Seafood next to the Sanqiu Tian Pier, just 1 minute away from the pier, very convenient!! The whole garden villa, has a kind of Shanghai small western-style building style, the environment is quiet and elegant, not noisy. As soon as you enter, there is a seafood pool, with clear price💰, will not pit~~ Love the refreshing lobster salad and slightly spicy Minnan Satay Club
