      • As one of the most excellent tourist city, Quanzhou has good transport service for its guests. Its Jinjiang Airport provides a direct way to get to the city from many other cities especially in Southern China. Airline agencies such as China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Xiamen Airlines and Shanghai Airlines are operating over 126 regular flights all together every week. Their safe, efficient and wonderful service will make your journey a great enjoyment. Although there are no shuttle buses to the urban city, taxies and public buses are very convenient for you to take near the airport.

      Railways are not so well developed as the airport because Quanzhou's railways are just connected to the cities and counties nearby. However, as Quanzhou's highways extend to most cities in Fujian Province, you can firstly go to Fuzhou or Xiamen and then take long-distance buses to Quanzhou within just one to two hours. The highways are so comprehensive that they radiate to many large cities in other provinces including Guangdong, Zhejiang and Shandong, etc, which enables you to reach Quanzhou directly by long-distance buses from those cities.

      Quanzhou is an offshore city with superior ports to transit passengers and goods. There are 24 ports operating passenger ships to other seaport cities such as Dalian, Shanghai, Hong Kong and even cities in Japan. Houzhu Port, Quanzhou Port and Shijing Port are also responsible to transit goods including coal, oil and containers to and from other cities.

      In the urban Quanzhou, city buses and tourist buses connect most of the city's tourist destinations together, offering you quite a good way to find your destination. Taxies are more convenient and comfortable with clear price calculating. For the detailed information, please check the following pages.

Through coaching, I understand the original "Outward Bound" is a test of will and wisdom, and tap potential and teamwork spirit of the campaign, but its not completely belong to the scope of sports. Because of time constraints, we participated in the project, not many, but it is these small projects, let me come to understand the importance of teamwork. The event, under the arrangement of the coaches being carried out in good order, and each item in the design and arrangement are very creative, especially after the end of each project experience and the experience of all the coaches comments, sum up, and people emotionally, popular inspired. Most of the three projects is the project team, including the Broken Bridge is a project of self-challenge. Experienced in the challenges and stimulation, I was left to more reflection. Broken Bridge, the challenge of personal self-item can be "terrifying" four words to sum up. Project design and organization is very simple, just two disconnect between the wooden planks to do a simple jump back and forth, but it was shelved two wooden planks in the eight, nine-metre high tree. On the ground looking at the rise of the distance between the two wooden boards, I feel very close distance, it seems that can be lightly leaped past. When their chatter Chanweiwei climbed to 8, 9-metre-high scaffold, narrow wooden planks come to the end of Looking at the opposite one another narrow wooden planks, I immediately silly. On the night so far? I wonder what their own, I can jump past? So in the narrow wooden planks, I will rise? Partial will jump? At this moment, the opposite is so far little wooden boards, I could not help but begging for the old coach, "do not jump?" The coach says it is the answer: "No!" He then used the relaxed tone said "Do you think so many Hom life are gone, this is a simple jump Suandeile? think yesterday's" dark, eyes closed "game until the final才被that you are" murderers " , reflecting the quality of your psychological well ah, jump! you must visit. "After listening to coach remarks, I relax a little, but fear still haunting the normal operation of the board to continue the stalemate. Almost 20 minutes later, no way, the coach said, "If we do not jump, I will push you!" I know that the posterior can be no retreat, so will Xinyiguang, Zongshen jumped results secured fallen on the The opposite appears to narrow board, a look back, not far ah, only one meter just…… "Air a small step, a big step in life", in fact, we will be in life often face such challenges, knowledge and skills is only tangible capital, is the will and spirit of the invisible forces. The activities of deep indeed, I think the most important thing is for our future work, study and life to inspire and guide. This is a valuable asset.
