Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and the largest island in China. Although Taiwan and the mainland are separated by a spacious Taiwan Strait, Taiwan is far away from the mainland and can actually stand on the beach and see the other side. Like a mother looking at his son far, but can not reach out and hug it back feeling.
Many people do not believe it, because many people do not understand the actual geographical situation. In addition to its own main island, Taiwan Island is also surrounded by islands of all sizes, large and small, and living with compatriots who have been living for generations.
Kinmen Island, Xiamen, but a few nautical miles away, in Xiamen, the coast of the island can vaguely see the small island activities. Kinmen Island originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Fujian, the people living above are Minnan people, speaking a Hokkien, Tong Wen same species but divided because of historical reasons in two different places, is it because of this narrow strait?
If Qingdao is a poetic, then Xiamen is a painting, but one in the South, one in the North Bale. I do not know why I always feel that Xiamen is a place filled with nostalgia. Perhaps it is because Taiwan is too close to Taiwan. It seems that splitting the two places is like a separated mother and child, but they can not get together without looking hard.
I listened to an old man in Huangcuo Village and said: New Year's Eve to Xiamen this place, we must come to Huangcuo Village, because only here to see the depth of the year to see the taste of Taiwan, it is said that on New Year's Eve, Xiamen side Often choose to put fireworks in this place Huangcuo Village, because Huangcuo Village is the nearest fishing village from Kinmen, the other side of the Golden Gate also in accordance with the usual practice of fireworks to indicate Xiamen, specifically why so, did not have time to ask the old man.
Xiamen, in the southeast coastal city, be regarded as the most literary, not only with its own deep Taiwanese culture, but also the gathering place for young artists nationwide. Because only the most primitive and original blocks are still preserved in Xiamen. The most classic of these is the arcades of Zhongshan Road, perhaps the reason for being relatively close to Guangdong. The ancient arcades look very similar to the arcades of Guangdong's Old Street in architectural style .
Although many of the ancient things in Xiamen are gradually inundated or even replaced by modern civilization, the simplest temperament has not really disappeared. Instead, it is combined with modern things and displayed on a new side.
This is the perfect place. Thank you for sharing.
