Jour 132 (31/01/10)
Anxi(安溪)-Xiamen(厦门)
Province du Fujian(福建省)
- 90km -
Le but aujourd’hui est de pédaler jusqu’à Xiamen (厦门), appelée aussi Amoy. Nous faisons alors tout pour y arriver le plus vite possible. Lever tôt, petit-déjeuner tôt, et nous repartons sur la départementale.

Old men hang out on the stoop of what I believe is the Postal Savings Bank in Xiamen, Fujian. Xiamen was previously the country's largest tea-exporting port and then one of the five concession ports after the Opium War, a history which has left the city with old, European-influenced sections of town. In contrast to most of the other places we've traveled so far on this trip where we miss breakfast if we get out of the room after eight in the morning and miss dinner if we go out to eat after eight at night, store fronts in the old town were still closed early in the morning, but a vibrant night scene was still going strong at eleven at night.
