2 weeks ago, I went to Kinmen. It's my maternal grandmother's hometown. I wasn't very keen on going initially but i don't know why for some reason i decided to go.
We took a ferry from Xiamen, the ride was only half an hour. But because there'd been a bad fog early that morning, we'd to wait till late afternoon to take the ferry over. The wait was such a drag!!
We got there late evening, had some tea at my relative's and then went to look for our hotel. It was quite dark and the night fog was setting in. We'd booked a 'homestay' and didn't really know what to expect. When we got to the road where it was supposed to be at..it looked really really spooky in the dark and fog! My mom even suggested leaving and foregoing our deposit hahaha.
When we got in, I loved it!
They even provide a very yummy breakfast of pork congee cooked till just the right texture and freshly cooked deliciously crunchy yau cha kwai!!
This is how it looks from the outside (when it's not quite so dark and creepy, haha):
If you're looking to have a holiday that's not run of the mill. To connect with nature. Yet stay in a very decent and comfortable place I recommend going to Kinmen and staying there. Grace Homestay. There are so many other pictures I took but I can't put up coz the quality's so bad hahaha i need a new camera~~
Don't forget to try 高粱酒 (Gao Liang Jiu) in Kinmen!Yum!! We even tried Gao Liang milk tea. Yum~~ It's made from rice grown in Kinmen. Walking near the factory you can even smell it~ They say if you drink a little everyday you'll live a healthy life till a ripe old age hahaha.. It's quite strong though so don't drink too much ; )
