The "2017 4th Cross-Strait Parent-Child Puzzle Competition" kicked off this afternoon (23rd) at the Kinhu Sports Complex. A total of 451 children and adults from Xiamen, Quanzhou, Fujian on the mainland and local participants in Kinmen spent a holiday of sharing, cooperation, and accomplishment by piecing together colorful large and small puzzles.
This cross-strait parent-child event is one of the sub-programs of this year's "Kinmen-Xiamen Tourism Festival." It is guided by the Kinmen County Government Tourism Department and the Xiamen Tourism Development Commission, and jointly organized by Yuanxiang (Xiamen) Coast Co., Ltd. and Xiamen Bank. The event is co-hosted by Xiamen International Travel Agency, Baozhong Travel, and Kinmen Wanji Travel Agency.
Attending the opening ceremony were Kinmen County Government Tourism Department Director Chen Meiling, Kinmen County Sports Association Secretary Xin Leida, Xiamen Bank Sales Department Manager Wang Rumin, Yuanxiang (Xiamen) Coast Co., Ltd. Manager Li Li, and others. They joined 251 children and adults from cities on the mainland such as Xiamen, Quanzhou, and Fujian, as well as 200 local participants from Kinmen, all happily engaging in the process—from piecing together smaller puzzles to assembling the larger ones.
The organizers noted that this large-scale puzzle activity aims to enhance parent-child relationships, attract more mainland tourists to Kinmen to extend their travel enjoyment, and build an exchange platform for families across the strait, embodying the concept of "one family across the strait."
The County Government Tourism Department also stated that exchanges between Kinmen and Xiamen are frequent, and parent-child tourism across the strait has been a key focus promoted by the county government in recent years. This year’s "Kinmen Parent-Child Fun Tour: Exploring Happy Kinmen" received an enthusiastic response. The department looks forward to leveraging Yuanxiang Coast Company’s brand influence in Xiamen and the Kinmen County Sports Association’s grassroots promotion capabilities to offer visitors a more exciting tourism experience, further promoting cross-strait exchanges and tourism development between Kinmen and Xiamen.
