This time I arranged with Wu Xiansen to take my mother-in-law and sister to Kinmen for three days and two nights~! Kinmen is not a big place, but if you want to finish the trip well, it is more convenient to charter a car, but I thought... the two eldest children in the family will definitely let their mother-in-law drive the whole trip, and they have been a little busy recently and have no time to check everything from accommodation, food and entertainment ~ There is a direct flight from Kaohsiung to Kinmen, and it takes about an hour to arrive. When we got off the plane, the tour guide and driver of Kinmen Erzi picked us up at the airport with a sign. He explained the whole process professionally and carefully. We learned a lot about the history and development of Kinmen. And because we had experience wearing cheongsam, they also took us to places that were great for photography📷 I also ate at a few restaurants that the whole family agreed were delicious. I will share them later, and share them with friends who want to go to Kinmen.
