These Chinese “castles” have quite a compelling story. Read about the history here.

Market in Xiamen
When we were living in the USA we used to host Air BNB guests in our home all year round. I loved hosting guests from all over the world and learning about our guests and their culture. We became close with many of our guests and like to stay in contact. A mother and daughter pair that stayed at our house happened to be a short flight from Foshan. So we took a few days to visit and explore in their home city of Xiamen, China. I love traveling with locals because you are able to achieve a greater understanding of the country. Plus they show you all the best spots!

FenG Jian Water Village
The Feng Jian Water Village is a local Venice of sorts. Canals braid throughout the small town and are speckled with small boats, swimming children, and fishing nets. There is much to see beside the canals. We also visited a beautiful buddhist temple and were lucky enough to hear the resounding chants of the monks. Heritage houses are also a must see in Feng Jian. You can visit and learn about the families that represent them.

March 13, 2026I love the photos. I only spent a couple of days in Guangzhou and Foshan. Xiamen and the rest of Fujian province is on my list definitely. Have you been to the southwest: Yunnan/Guangxi/Guizhou? To me that is one of the most awesome places in China.

March 15, 2026Unfortunately I spent most of my time in China in Foshan and was only able to visit Guangzhou and Xiamen. I would love to visit the southwest of China and would especially love to visit Tibet! Major bucket list item! How about you? How long were you in China and what areas were you able to visit?
