So, I live on a small Island, which belongs to China's top ten traveling spots.

Chinese New Year is coming up, which means that all factories in China close down, as well as all companies and most stores. So you can imagine 1 billion people traveling to their hometowns or to vacation spots at the same time.

My little town expects more than 6 million tourists in the next 2-3 weeks and the population of this city is already 3 million, but the size is quite small...

So I'm fucked. Driving anywhere would end up in traffic jams. So I basically gonna stay at home. Kinda like house arrest.

But you gotta look at the bright side - I won't travel to my wife's hometown to visit her family...that would have been worse lol

So...yeah...I was trying to bring back the cool story, breh...

Well, I live in the cleanest Chinese city. It's alright. Of course there is pollution, but most factories had to leave the island. The sea water also gets better. We have white dolphins in these parts and apparently the dolphin population grows due to the improved conditions...

How many tourists made it to your city?

Domestic and oversea tourist arrivals to Xiamen surged almost 20 percent in 2010 to hit 30 million, generating 38.3 billion yuan in tourism revenue, up almost 17 percent year-on-year.
