厦门,宁德之行

Just back from a 10 days' visit to Fujian, China, an enjoyable and fruitful journey! Xiamen's advancements in various aspects has been nothing less than impressive. , For example, they are now in active process in constucting the first MRT in Fujian, will be ready by 2016. They have their fast moving public city bus system called BRT, the first time I have seen and experienced such a transport mode, cheap and fast! The developments in Jimei(集美) to the north of Xiamen island has been in leaps and bounds. There is a Xiamen North rail station where fast trains (called 动车) with maximum speed of 200km/hr passing through, making travelling to HK (Shenzhen) and Shanghai very fast and convenient, a remarkable landmark, so that Xiamen becoming more of a tourist attraction to both foreign as well as domestic visitors!
