I'd like to talk about a trip I took to Xiamen, a city about 400 kilometers from my home. I went with my mother, and we only used public transportation. This happened in 2015, after I graduated from high school. I wanted to travel to another city to relieve all the stress I'd accumulated during those years. So, we decided to take the high-speed train from Guangzhou to Xiamen, which took about four hours. After arriving at the Xiamen railway station, we took a bus to the hostel we had booked in advance. We checked in, dropped off our luggage, and then took a ferry to Gulangyu Island, which is about three kilometers from the mainland. We visited many beautiful places there, like the Catholic churches and schools. It's a very small island, so we only spent two hours there, buying some snacks and local specialties. Then, we went back to the mainland and visited the famous Xiamen University. After that, we returned to the hostel to rest. I felt incredibly happy during this trip because we experienced something truly diverse culturally.
