The ancient Chinese characters actually says "為耽泉石趣 獨見竹松心". Love your videos!
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for helping with the characters, very cool!

Loving these videos about study/life in Xiamen. I've been accepted to study there for a year as part of the foreign exchange programme at University. I'm not going until next September but I can't wait now, it looks absolutely beautiful there! 😍
Glad you enjoy the videos! Congratulations 🎉 will you be at siming campus?
@@thejourneyofjake Thanks! I'm not sure to be honest. Possibly? That sounds familiar alright 😅I'm currently going through the process of applying for a scholarship so I'm a bit all over the place at the moment trying to get all my documents together. Can I ask actually if you ended up keeping your dorm room or moving off campus? Luckily I'm going with another girl from college so we can hopefully share a room, but ideally we'd rather get an apartment together instead for a bit more space and privacy... but I'm not sure if that would be allowed 🤔
Hey, my roommate ended up living outside campus so I lucked out and got the room to myself. Siming is the main campus that everyone talks about and is located on Xiamen island. Xiang'An is located off the island about 1 hours drive. I believe if you are studying Chinese you will be at Xiang'An like me. It's good you have a friend coming, the dorms are very basic and many people opted to move off campus. There are some good apartments though very close to campus located in "东门" I don't think it's that difficult to do. Good luck with it all!
@@thejourneyofjake Yes I'm studying Chinese so probably that campus so. Lucky you getting a room to yourself. Although if they are very basic we'll probably opt for an apartment alright. Thanks for the information Jake, looking forward to more videos! 😊
You will LOVE it
Ohh i was waiting for this!
Such a gorgeous day for a boat ride 😊
Twas a great day 😁
It’s good to see you all having a good time! I am envious of your sunshine! It’s freezing here (-5°C) in southern England!!
You really did a good choice of city and university to learn Chinese. Also the music in your videos are really good.
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment about the music it takes a while to find good songs so I'm glad you think so!
Looks like you’re having a great time Jake! Good on ya!
Thank you Gareth! Yeah I'm having a blast haha

Enjoying your videos. My daughter is going to Xiamen in June.
I'm glad :) it's a great city she'll love it. I did have some culture shock in the beginning coming from a western country but keep an open mind and it will be a rewarding experience for sure

These are great videos. I can't wait until I go to xiemen. I wish I spoke the language. I only kniw a few words and phases. It's very hard for an old fart like me to lurn.😂😂😂
Thank you! A few words and phrases is a good start, never too old to learn I say 🙂
