    I bought the business class tickets, but it is only special in the waiting area. When the time is near they let us line up in front of other passengers. When the gate opens people will run to the other waiting door, we have to rush for a seat as others do. It's a small island, you get on from one jetty and walk to another jetty to go back. There's a baggy car service, but if you buy the tickets for the whole journey, then you can only see the seaside and miss many other inner sides of the island.

    Did my research mainly from the red note and this is one of the recommended tourist spots based on multiple posts. We went in the morning, between 10-11am as the sunset spots were fully booked on Monday which was the only day we could go. We missed out the chance to see the sunset on the cable car which was a pity. The entrance was a short walk from the botanical garden (west entrance), was a bit of hidden as there was not obvious sign from the taxi drop off. Suggest to ask people. The queue wasn’t as long upon our arrival and it was fairly smooth. The cable car can only fit two people and it’s semi open , with no windows. The day we went was cloudy and fairly breezy which was ideal. The ride of 40 minutes was not too long as we could oversee Xiamen city, even the Conrad hotel. Would I go again? Probably not as it was not as eye opening as I anticipated. It’s more of the been there done that attitude. One final note, do ensure you go with a friend as you will be assigned a stranger.

    It is worth going. Pingtan highlights: the island scenery is beautiful, the blue tears are wonderful and dreamy, the road around the island is comfortable, the stone ancient village is unique, and the seafood is delicious. There are also wind power fields, elephant nose bay and other net red punch points, which is a good place for leisure and vacation.

    Beautiful scenery, many things to see/do for various activity levels. For elderly with mobility issues, only rafting is suitable. The other atttactions involve significant walking. If just doing rafting, there is no need to buy the bus ticket. You can take car to the rafting pier. There is also a pick up point at the end of the rafting route.

    Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is a "science paradise" for adults and children to play, and the 35,000 square meters of exhibition hall contains countless surprises. The main exhibition hall is divided by theme, and the "ocean cradle" can touch virtual waves and watch simulated submarines explore the deep sea; The magnetoelectric stage in the "Exploration and Discovery" area is the most eye-catching. When the high-voltage discharge, the arc such as blue lightning breaks the air, and the sound effect is super shocking. Children's favorite "Children's Future Paradise", there are talking robots, water flow pipes that can be assembled, and understand the mechanics while playing. The best thing is that the interactive experience is full, such as the fun of the north in the "mirror maze", the "response test" is compared to hand-eye coordination, and even adults can't help but try again. The "Space and Aviation" exhibition area also has a real return module model, which can sit in the simulated cockpit to experience weightlessness and round a space dream. The exhibition hall is designed intimately, with a seating area and drinking water on each floor, and the restaurant on the first floor is moderately priced. The narrator will do interesting experiments regularly, such as liquid nitrogen frozen banana smashing, dry ice to create smoke, and always fill the curious audience. The only minor drawback is that some popular projects have to line up on weekends, but the overall rhythm is soothing and suitable for slowly exploring. Here, science is no longer a formula in textbooks, but a joy that can be seen and felt. Whether it is taking a baby to popular science or a couple to find freshness on a date, Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is worth spending most of the day in it.

    This is my second time in Fujian. I didn’t come here last time when I came with local friends because I thought it was just a pile of dirt and they didn’t want to bring me here. This time I can finally come here on my own. The buildings are so unique, so great!
