"The fragrance of April in the world ends, and the peach blossoms in Shansi begin to bloom."-- Bai Juyi


Whenever I see this poem, I always lament that people living in the hustle and bustle of the city often cannot stop and feel the changes of the four seasons because of the fast pace of life and the pressure of work. Most people run hard for life and forget the beautiful scenery around them.


How long has it been since you traveled? When I posted this message in my circle of friends, I didn't expect that many people had not traveled for more than a year. The reason for most people is that they are too busy and yearn for the distance but cannot go.


Why travel far away? You can have a spring outing at your doorstep. This time, I started a two-day and one-night trip to Xiamen with my friends, big friends and children.


Aotou Village-There are not only fireworks on earth, but also poetry and distance


The first time I heard the name Aotou Village was on the front page of a well-known media. This was once a famous ancient ferry in southern Fujian. It used to be a small fishing village. However, due to its unique geographical location, Jinshan Mountain is surrounded by the sea, facing Xiamen and Kinmen across the sea.

Driving from Xiamen Island and passing through the Xiang 'an Tunnel, you can reach this small village full of history and humanity in about 30 minutes. Aotou Village is located in Xindian Town, Xiang 'an District, Xiamen. Since the implementation of the Beautiful Xiamen Strategy in 2013, this originally dilapidated small fishing village has begun a demonstration transformation of "Beautiful Countryside" in 2014, adopting traditional Chinese garden design techniques and integrating the culture of "Three Seas and One Overseas Chinese" to create a "Southern Fujian Beautiful Harbor Overseas Chinese Village."

The advantage of self-driving travel is that there are no restrictions and you can follow your own route and go as you please. Perhaps because of navigation, we did not follow the city road into the village, but took a detour and followed the coastline to the back of the village.


Along Huaiyuan Lake, I saw an old house with an ancient red brick house. When I got closer, I saw the Village History Museum in Aotou. This place already combines history with modern aesthetics. After walking in, you will find that there is a lot of space inside.

Under the sunshine, succulent plants are absorbing the moisture of the warm spring sun. Between the light and shadow, you can feel the vitality and vitality everywhere.

As a witness to history, the fishing tools used by these fishermen are displayed in the village history museum. On the one hand, these ancient memories are sealed in the long river of history, and on the other hand, more people can understand the characteristics of the place. Imprint and feel the fishing village culture that belongs to the small fishing village.

When I saw this scene in front of me, I felt that this was the ideal life. In the courtyard where bougainvillea is in full bloom, choose a place with bluestone and fragrant grass, a table, a few bamboo chairs, make a pot of good tea, and a puppy. It's really comfortable to chat. If you could have such a small courtyard, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtyard, and watch the clouds in the sky roll and relax, how lucky your life would be.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a sausage hanging in a corner. The landlady said that this was the last batch of the year, and it was all ordered by regular customers. If the weather became hot in the future, there would be no way to make it anymore. Not only does it have the aroma of history, but it also has the flavor of delicious food scattered everywhere, which makes me have a better impression of this place.

Strolling along Huaiyuan Lake, the greening along the lake has turned this small village into a leisurely place. Among the villages, ancient houses in southern Fujian are still intact, and many have become historical sites. They are created into a combination of modernity and history, which not only allows us to feel the traces of time, but also allows us to enjoy the new vitality of modern life.


For example, at the Overseas Chinese Friendship Association, the bougainvillea on the wall is blooming in the spring breeze. Through the stone windows, you can discover the world of the courtyard at a glance. There are tea sets on the tea table, and the sun shines on the mottled stone walls. Everything looks so charming and full of life.

In today's Aotou Village, it is already a walking seafood restaurant. Many ancient houses have also been transformed into seafood restaurants. Centenary ancient houses in southern Fujian, with exquisite carved walls. Under the ancient trees, there are stone mills and stone piers and stone doors, which exudes simplicity everywhere. I looked up accidentally and found that behind the cornices, the transparent glass sun room reflected dazzling light. Simple and fashionable, perfectly intertwined. Eating seafood here has a unique taste.

A touch of simple and nostalgic southern Fujian red, a curved and exquisite swallowtail ridge, and a quiet Gudu ancestral temple, this is the beautiful Aotou Village. Feel the flow of years here. There is not only the fireworks of the world, but also poetry and distance.


Xiang 'an Yuehua Hotel-Yuedong Xiang' an, the first warm business tripselected


After leaving Aotou Village, we went to Xiang 'an's hotel-Xiang' an Yuehua Hotel.
I once came to Xiang 'an and always felt that there was a lack of a hotel worthy of its name. Now I finally have Yuehua.


As a high-end business hotel in Xiang 'an District, Yuehua Hotel has a high reputation and reputation in Xiamen, so when I learned that this was the second Yuehua Hotel opened in Xiamen, I decisively made it my first choice for travel. The architectural design here shows the red brick ancient houses in southern Fujian, with the eaves embossed setting off each other. It not only has the atmosphere of Western-style architecture, but also has the elegance of Chinese style.

Walking into the lobby, I was shocked by this design, and I have to say that it is full of charm. When I chose a hotel room, I preferred a spacious apartment with good lighting, so this time I chose their luxurious queen bed room. The companions who took care of their children chose the parent-child room, and a pair of girlfriends chose the standard room.

You can see the eaves embossed of southern Fujian elements everywhere in the room. Whether it is a separate photo or a mural decorated on the wall, you can feel the full details.

The bathroom is spacious and has a separate large bathtub. For me when traveling, taking a bath after a long day of travel can fully relieve my fatigue.

When sunlight shines through the window on the wooden floor, the entire room will be full of life, not only the shadow of light, but also the warmth it brings. Sitting on the sofa and bathing in the sun at this time is also a very good choice.

Outside the window is the Xiang 'an Digital Economic Industrial Park, which is also a prosperous situation. In the future, it may become Xiamen's new economic take-off place.

When checking in class, my friend VESA said that he would try the afternoon tea here. When the appointed time came, I also stopped by to visit the room they stayed in this time.


When I arrived at the parent-child room, I was impressed by their design when I arrived at the door. It turned out that the fourth floor of the hotel was full of parent-child rooms, and there was a cute cartoon at the door of each room.

After entering the inside, there is a slide in the living room. This really moves the casino into the room. The children are having fun in it and don't want to leave the room at all.

The characteristic of the parent-child room is that it fully considers children's elements in terms of bedding, toiletries, etc., and moves all familiar animated cartoon characters into the room, which is perfectly displayed on the bed and bathroom.

As a double room, the standard room is an ordinary room type with standard configuration. This is suitable for girls traveling with them to live together and have a companion. The overall area and layout are quite good.

In addition, the hotel also has luxurious suites, which really amazes me, especially the design of the interior space. It is atmospheric but like a maze. I feel that if children lived here, they would like it very much and can play hide-and-seek in it. It's time to play hide-and-seek.

An exquisite afternoon tea, a wonderful afternoon time.
Arriving at Xiu Shifang Restaurant, I chose a seat by the window and sat down. The sun was just right at the moment, and it was full of warmth on my face.

Today's afternoon tea is the main strawberry series. If you like sweet food, then this one should be very suitable for you.


Hold wine for you to persuade the setting sun, and leave the evening light among the flowers.


The Xiu Shifang of Yuehua Hotel Xiang 'an in Xiamen hides the unique flavor of the world. Unlike many restaurants, I was pleasantly surprised by the borderless cuisine it specializes in. From Western, Japanese to Chinese, as well as Minnante-style cuisine, you can eat unlimited food at your disposal. The most rare thing is to order and make it right now, which ensures the flavor of the food and allows diners to taste the best taste.

After a round of eating, I personally feel that the one worth recommending is the lamb chops, and you must eat them immediately as soon as they are served. The taste at this time is really great! If this is your first time in Xiamen, you can also try Minnante-colored snacks such as oyster pan and bamboo shoot jelly. I suddenly found that this kind of eating whatever you want is very suitable for me. It can quickly find what I want to eat without causing waste.

While traveling, a good hotel will definitely allow you to experience both food and fitness.

After dinner, I walked into the gym on the third floor and saw that many people were already sweating profusely here. The biggest feature of this gym is that it has coaches. Many times, we can only practice ourselves when we walk into the hotel gym. I am unfamiliar with many equipment and dare not try it easily. And here, because the coach knows, I can also boldly try and experience some equipment that I have never touched before. This feeling is very great.


Fonte Dream Kingdom--Oriental Dream MusicPark


The next day, after breakfast, we headed for Fante Dream Kingdom, which is a 20-minute drive from the hotel. This time, I realized that it was very convenient to stay away from Fangte and Xiang 'an for so long, especially staying at Yuehua Hotel.


Xiamen Fante Dream Kingdom is known as the "Oriental Dream Paradise" and "Asian Science Fiction Magic". The park features science fiction and interactive experiences, combines international elements with traditional Chinese culture, and is deeply loved by tourists.

When traveling with naughty children, playing in the water is essential. So when they entered the park, they headed straight for Dinosaur Island. Climb higher step by step along the castle in a small boat, experience the feeling of sprinting down at the highest point, and be prepared for the possibility of getting wet.

If you want to try excitement, then try this set of projects: jumping machine-pendulum-polar flying car.


For me, jumping off a plane is experiencing the feeling of weightlessness, and it is very short and completely no problem. But the strength of the pendulum was a little beyond my imagination. It almost threw my shoes out. It was so fierce. Polar Flying Car is simply switching back and forth between speed and weightlessness. It can be said that the whole person's face is deformed, and the shouts next to it can also prove that everyone is really playing high.

If you take children, you can go to Bear Land. Many scenes here are very good, especially those who like to watch bear infested cartoons. Taking photos here and checking in is a very good choice.

This time we avoided holiday travel and experienced all the projects we wanted to play in the park. It was really enjoyable.
Among them, the most impressive thing is the Eye of the Storm, which is very exciting. In addition, performances designed using a combination of modern technology and Chinese style-"Liaozhai" and "Decisive Battle at Jinshan Temple" have realistic scenes and wonderful interpretations, making people feel immersed in the scene.

In Fonte, it's really true that both big friends and children can find their favorite projects and performances, and they won't feel tired of staying here all day. This time, we didn't want to finish all the projects at once, but we just chose a few that we wanted to experience first. It is said that different seasons and festivals have different changes, and we are very much looking forward to saving the next exciting continuation.


At lunch time, we returned to Yuehua Hotel and ate the hotel's Japanese lunch boxes. Then he returned to his room to rest and ended the trip.

When traveling, you don't have to travel far to find poetry and distance. Many times we find that whether it is long-distance travel or nearby travel, the most important thing lies in our mentality and who we play with. Only high-quality travel can you truly relax and enjoy this process.


Next time, I plan to ride off, come with me!
