廈門

廈門，自古為茶葉的輸出港口，與海外各國建立了非常深厚的貿易關係，現今也作為經濟特區而持續地發展中。包含鼓浪嶼上所保留的租界時期洋館，其風情萬種的城市景觀更是一大魅力。

歷史交錯的租界之島

我們將前往鼓浪嶼，一個曾制定了多國共同租界的世界遺產島嶼。鼓浪嶼因南京條約而開港，並在1902年制定為共同租界地，歐洲及亞洲各國在這島嶼上建設了領事館，醫院及教堂。除此之外，許多華僑也在此建立了移居的豪華住宅及別墅。租界時期所建設的洋館及教堂，至今仍傳遞著混雜著東西方建築風格的特殊景觀。狹窄蜿蜒的巷弄，以及突出於建築物之外的陽台，都讓人感受到其濃厚的氛圍。請務必漫步在這城市中，並好好享受其歷史的氛圍吧。

漫步於充滿歷史感的城市中

Xiamen is also well-known as the home of the Fujian Overseas Chinese. The South Putuo Temple or Nanputuo, founded during the Tang Dynasty at the foot of Wulao Peaks, is the city’s most renowned landmark and a place of worship for many overseas Chinese. The temple’s 30,000 square meters of grounds include many magnificent buildings such as the Tianwang Hall (Hall of Heavenly Kings), the Daxiong Hall (Heroic Treasure Hall) and the Dabei Hall (Great Mercy Hall). Moreover, the main street, Zhongshan Road, is a pedestrian paradise full of restaurants and souvenir stores. Any gourmet should try Xiamen’s fresh seafood by enjoying some Shacha Noodles, with seafood and a spicy soup, or oyster omelette.
