What to do on a typical day

1. 09:00: Gather at Gulangyu Pier. Let’s first talk about the difference between tourist routes and citizen routes – Japanese tourists often follow the guide and walk to the Citizen Ferry Terminal, which takes an extra hour to go back and forth.
2. 09:40: Explanation of the overseas Chinese villa group, explaining the source of construction funds from overseas Chinese batches and family remittances - behind the buildings on the island is the remittance network, only by clarifying the source can the style be explained
3. 13:30: Southern Fujian tea room experience, talking about the difference between the semi-fermentation process of oolong tea and the Japanese sencha ceremony - Gongfu tea and sencha ceremony are not the same thing, let’s talk about the techniques first and then the etiquette
4. 16:30: Nanputuo and Xiaogang shelters are included in the daily life of fishing ports and overseas Chinese hometowns - putting the flow of a day on ordinary people's lives, and guests will remember it.

Terminology Notes

• Overseas Chinese and Overseas Chinese: The Japanese explanation first explains the difference between nationality and place of origin, and then talks about overseas remittances and overseas Chinese approval, so as to avoid being confused with the Chinese in Japan.
• Oolong tea and sencha tea: Talking about semi-fermentation and roasting, which is different from Japanese steamed green tea, and does not make equivalent analogies.
