New discoveries:current popular foods: fishball, duck noodles,and peanut soup. Superstores: Walmart and Carrefour few store assistants as very few visitors and shopper. LEDs bulbs lesser and no variety. Zhongshan St.- only electric bikes still using and very clean and quiet few pedestrians too. No more people walking their prized dogs. Gone are the smartphone shops, the classy dress shops and shoes outlets. And disappearing malls and Supermarts. Now smoothies and fruit shakes refreshment stalls aplenty. Those pearls stores and packaged/preserved snacks outlets now plentiful. And very few smokers except beside the ferry to Gulanyu terminal. Xiamen is so clean at the the 8th market, practically no flies where fresh and dried seafood openly displayed. I will definitely go to Xiamen soon.
