This time the tour guide was married to the young lady who was married to Xiamen. She knew Xiamen in Fujian. She said a lot of local customs and habits along the way, and the historical origin of the ancient temple. great. The only downside is that 1.5h, about 1h is over, a little bit of meaning is still not enough. It is recommended to come to the ancient temple to ask the tour guide to explain, otherwise it is white!
