Mola Mola Hostel

Staying at Molamola becomes one of the remarkable memory in my past traveling experiences. The location is not far away from the airport, it takes approx. 30mins to drive to the front door of a temple, which it at opposite site of the traditional Taiwanese village. It may be a little bit difficult for the first time visitor to get exactly location of this hostel, strongly recommend that you should use google map to follow the walking direction (this was what I did after got off from taxi). Or you may consider to call the reception to guide you to the hostel. I was very impressed when I first stepped in the hostel. There were a lot of photos posted along the hallway, as well as some outdoor activity equipments, such as arrow, bicycle, etc. After walking through the hallway, you would find a nice decorated and bright garden. I was even thinking about to drop my bag pack right away and spend whole afternoon to chill under the sunshine there. All of the sudden, I had a feeling that this owner really have a good taste to run the hostel. In addition, there's a coffee area in the lobby, plus a bar next to the entry. I almost spent all my night time to chat with some new friends at the bar during the stay. This is strongly recommended to someone who loves to drink and hates to go all the way down to the town area for a few drinks. Most importantly, the bar runs fantastic music and very cheap alcohol compare with the town area. Beside nice condition of the room and thoughtful decoration at the hostel. You would also donate the used clothing to the kids from countryside. I purposely brought few jeans and hoodies to the store, wrote a gift card to whoever will receive my donation. It makes the staying at Molamola more meaningful. Other than clothing donation, you would also join the book exchange program. Just bring one/few of your book to exchange from the coffee area. I joined the sunset bicycling event with other visitors during the stay. Even though it was super hot at outdoor in this season, but the whole experience was amazing. Especially, I made some friends from different cities and exchanged wechat afterwards. All in all, this is my five star recommendation to those people who wants to experience the hostel in Xiamen. I will definitely come back again. Trust me, you won't be regret. :-)
