China, Fujian

Xiamei Cultural Village

I went for an exploratory walk in the morning with my brother and his family passed through a Chinese wet market of interesting/odd foods and ended up visiting tea gardens to see sculptures and learn about the history of tea in China. Wuyishan is famous for its tea and attracts tea connoisseurs from all over China. Every hotel room has tea to sample and all the gear needed for a traditional tea drinking ceremony. We returned to our hotel rooms along with a beautiful river path with views of lush green Wuyishan mountain.

In the afternoon we hired a driver to take us to the Xiamei Cultural Village – an historic town dating back hundreds of years. Was very cool, full of historic alleyways and beautiful ancient architecture.
