Downtown Old Tong'an at night
Tong'an Tingxi ReservoirThis page is dedicated Dr. Jack and Joanne Hill, who served in the Amoy Mission in nearby Tong'an during the 1940s and 1950s.   They and their son Keith Hill (famous musical instrument maker) wanted to see modern Tong'an, so my wife and I took some photos during our Valentine's weekend at the new Best Western Trithorn Hot Springs Retreat.  We loved hiking Buttherfly Valley, and walking about old downtown at night. 

Lantern stall at lantern festival in Tong'an XiamenThe sights, sounds (and smells) reminded me of Xiamen 20 years ago.  But like the rest of China, the tree-covered lanes and small shops are vanishing, replaced by 8-lane concrete roads and ornately decorated VIctoriasian highrises and apartment buildings.  Let's hope some of old Tong'an remains intact.
New roads lined by offices and apartment buildings
