The cable car drifts slowly upward, the wind carrying the scent of osmanthus brushing your face, with bougainvillea blooming brightly below, like a floral carpet draped over the green hills✨At the top, you can see the cityscape of Xiamen merging with the sea, the autumn sunlight gentle, sparkling like scattered gold on the water.

Colorful old houses climbing with bougainvillea, fishermen sitting at their doorsteps mending nets, the spools turning with a “rustling” sound🐠At the village entrance, the seafood noodle stall fills the air with freshness, freshly cooked noodles topped with two big shrimp, the broth so fresh you could lick the bowl clean. Sitting on the seaside stone steps, watching the autumn waves gently lap the shore, occasionally finding small sea snails with fine sand, holding them to your ear you can hear the “sound of the sea,” even the wind carries the warmth of the fishing village～​ Bashi Old Vermicelli Soup・Traditional Autumn Comfort​ A hidden autumn comfort at the end of the alley! The clay pot on the coal stove “bubbling” with vermicelli, grandma adds oysters and shrimp into the bowl, sprinkles some cilantro, the fresh aroma goes straight to your nose🥣Paired with fried five-spice, crispy on the outside wrapped around lean meat and water chestnuts, biting into it bursts with juice, the warmth wrapped in fragrance.
