Xiamen

[khiemtran]

For me, the lingering smell of Xiamen is the smell of rich, clear chicken broth, with the classic combination of nong (flavour) and xiang fragrance.




It's a city of both youthful energy and time-less vestiges.



Looking both forward...



And back...



And at the bottom line...



But mostly just being Xiamen...

The juxtaposition of florid 19th century architecture and a KFC sign is um, unsettling, to say the least...

:) That's Xiamen, I'm afraid. Lots of old and new (not to mention the fake "old") all side by side...
