Xiamen - last day... phew. We will be so happy to get out tomorrow. Today we venture to the Xiamen Botanical Garden..... nowhere else to go. And the Garden is not worth visiting because it is not impressive in terms of showing the visitors what they have. Basically the infrastructure and the system is outdated in my opinion ....
There is this 烈士记念广场 adjacent to the Botanical Garden
They do their poses at the park

大叶樟树 planted by the late Deng Xiao Peng
I love the cobbled walkway ......
We go to this McDonald's near Jinyan quite a bit
闽南小菜 again for dinner
佛跳墙
The only consolation we have about today is that we are leaving for MZ tomorrow early morning and we look forward to a different city to play in. I think it's safe to say we will not be back to Xiamen in a great hurry. Our opinion? It's a modern city with the usual connectivity but it lacks soul. The people lack public civility, the infrastructure not looked after, the art scene appalling, the environment polluted and dusty, there is virtually zero shopping facilities for the savvy travelers, the food scene is non existent; and the local attractions not exciting. Good bye Xiamen.
