Q: Please share an unforgettable experience during your trip to Fujian.
A: Dongdai Town in Fuzhou City. My family (myself, husband and son) rented a small boat and went to a small island that was underdeveloped. I’m quite sure there’s no one living there or any other tourists staying there. We put up the tent, cooked the seafood we brought and spent one night on this island. Only us. It was so quiet during the night. All we could hear were the sea waves washing ashore. And when we woke up there were mosquitoes all around our tent.
