Guide Xiao is very enthusiastic and meticulous, and the explanation is very vivid. The appointment to enter Xiamen University is very smooth. The school is beautiful and very popular. It is suitable for a quiet day. Unfortunately, this time is not enough. I left school for two hours. But it still has a lot of knowledge. Of course, there are also a bunch of beautiful photos. Please enjoy.
Nanputuo Temple commentator is still very responsible, there are key points, no nonsense, there are recommendations and no marketing. Since there is no appointment online, Xiamen University enters the school, which is the ability to pay, which is convenient and fast.
We two need to form a small group with a few other people. The tour guide explained very well, but it was a bit fast. I didn't hear enough and finished it. There was a feeling of hurrying to travel with the group, which made many allusions and impressions of South Putuo not deep enough, but addictive. It is worth mentioning that the vegetarian buffet in South Putuo is very recommended, 99 yuan is particularly delicious, very worth it.
Worth a visit, a small and fresh city!
