Yesterday my group and I took a ferry to Gulang Island (鼓浪屿) to enjoy the views, musuems, buildings, fruit, and history. Gulang Island seems to have been the center of foreign activity in Xiamen so had the former British, American, German, and Japanese counculates all preserved to vairing degrees. Just walming around the streets was nice as it is a very pretty island. We got to see two museums: a small art museum which was nice I guess and a piano museum which was kind of cool. Lunch was alright. I noticed that the Chinese dont get into the water, they just sit on the beach and look at the sea. I got these cool sea shell good luck charms which was nice, no one other than the one guy I bought it from sold them. For dinner I got hotpot, the local beer, and a Hong Kong egg waffle. Overall a fun day.
