Field note

A coastal city read through edges.

The useful detail in Xiamen is often an edge: water against skyline, campus against tourism, garden shade against heat, old alleys against platform-era check-ins. The archive keeps those edges available for later arguments.

  1. 01WaterFerries, bridges and skyline views that turn distance into composition.
  2. 02StreetsAlleys, storefronts and road curves where the city becomes legible.
  3. 03LeisureGardens, island walks and pauses that reveal soft consumption.

The roll.

    Water, skyline and the soft edge of a trip: the city becoming memory.
