🟠Schedule
10:00 AM Taxi Departure
12:00-15:00 Tulou 1 (Fujian Tulou Nanjing Scenic Area)
15:30-17:00 Tulou 2 (Tianluokeng Tulou)
19:30 Dinner at Baichi (Dahaiyu)

🟠Fujian Tulou Nanjing Scenic Area
💸Coconut Milk Tea: NT$25
💸Admission: NT$90 (NT$10 per adult for the second floor and above)

There are tulou areas scattered throughout the area, but let's start with the first one.
The tulou area is about a two-hour taxi ride from Xiamen city.
We'll be driving along country roads.

This tulou area is famous for its windmill views, but due to the rain and muddy waters, the windmills weren't very pretty.

There were two or three tulou here.

One was square, and two were round.

You could look inside all of them.

The area around the tulou has become a tourist destination, with restaurants and souvenir shops.

While this area is also worth seeing, I personally recommend the second tulou area!

However, you can't go above the second floor in the second tulou area, but here you can explore the floors above for just 10 NTD.

🟠Tian Luokeng Tulou
💸Tickets: 90 NTD

About a 30-minute taxi ride from the first tulou area leads to another famous tulou area.

You'll climb a steep, winding mountain path.

There's a large ticket booth just before the trail, so pay 90 NTD per adult there and continue on the trail.

After climbing the mountain path, we first came to a photo spot overlooking the five tulou from the top of the mountain.
Next, we took a taxi (or apparently you can walk there too) down the mountain and toured the inside of the tulou.

This area features five tulou lined up, making it a popular photo spot.

Not only are they photogenic, but these tulou have a more local and secluded feel, making them more enjoyable than the first one.
However, unlike the first tulou area, you can't go above the second floor here.

You can enter all five tulou.

🟠大海鱼
💸Dinner 305 NTD

In the evening, like on the first day, we went to Eight Markets in Xiamen.
A bustling street of food stalls reminiscent of a night market.
We went in the afternoon on the first day, but the evening was lively and fun.

We had dinner at a seafood restaurant a little further from Eight Markets.
We ordered about five dishes for a fairly reasonable price of NT$305.

Everything was delicious, but I especially recommend the sweet potato fried rice.
The Thai rice was light and chewy, with a great texture.

🟠Yashi
💸Tsujingu (Red Root Fruit) - NT$8

After dinner, we strolled around the nearby Yashi.
The night market was bustling with activity.
I tried the fruit juice I saw so many people drinking.

Tsujingu (Red Root Fruit) is apparently a fruit known by names like horned bitter melon and kiwano.
Its distinctive jelly-like fruit and seeds are its distinctive features.
The unique texture, pleasantly acidic taste, and perfect for a hot day were all enjoyable. ◎
