One of Xiamen's many fine beaches along the Island Ring Road Xiamen is for the birds--and for birdwatchers! The perfect place for fowl pursuits!

Beautiful Yundang Lagoon Egrets in flight Festive Chinese fireworks over the Xiamen International Exhibition and Conference Center

Aerial view of Gulangyu's Shuzhuang Garden (which also has Asia's largest piano museum!) The surrealistic beauty of Gulangyu Islet by night Xiamen University--China's most beautiful campus! (And, happily, our home!)

Traditional costumes of Huji'an people--Fujian's most unique people group (Han Chinese, but they look and act like minorities!) Statue of Koxinga on Gulangyu. Locals say he keeps typhoons away, but he was out to lunch when the Oct. 1999 storm flattened us! Gulangyu Islet's Shuzhuang Garden--one of the few places that even I can walk on water! (Thanks to the 44-bend zigzag bridge!)

Mazu worshippers (note the bun-shaped hairdo) Large delegation of overseas Chinese return to worship Mazu on Meizhou Island (Mazu is the sea goddess) Mazu festivities on Meizhou Island

Inhabitants of Meishou Island Meizhou Island's towering statue of Mazu, the goddess of the sea

Aerial view of a cluster of Hakka earthen roundhouses (and a square roundhouse in the middle!) No wonder that paranoid Pentagon officials mistook Hakka roundhouses for missile silos! Endless line of holiday travelers asending the steps of Heavenly Tour Peak.

Breathtaking beauty of Wuyi Mountain Up a creek? Then take a bamboo raft ride in Wuyi Mountain!

Anzhen Fortress in West Fujian's Sanming (amazing dwelling; give it a visit!) Awesome aerial shot of Gulangyu Islet!

An entire village of Hakka earthen architecture along the river Beautiful view of modern downtown Xiamen, near Heping (Peace) Harbor

In 1988, the island was a fortress. Now the tank traps are gone, the pillboxes are empty, and beaches are for fun, not fighting!

Traditional beauty practice

Thousands of Hakka earthen houses like these are hidden away in the hills of West Fujian
