When posting, especially when starting a new thread, please use a title that explains your post or thread, e.g. don't put "Help please!" when you could put "Where can I find a camp site near Kending?"
Please check your spelling, because someone may do a text search for your information, e.g. if someone searches for information on Xizhi and you have spelled it She Jher, they won't find it. Someone spelled camping as "campin" without a g at the end - again, it can't be found by a text search. For place names in Taiwan, please try to use Hanyu Pinyin as default, as that is the spelling most people know.

Luggage on the Jinmen to Xiamen ferry

Can I take luggage on the Jinmen to Xiamen ferry? If so, what is the cost? I will be moving to Shanghai and plan on flying from TP to JM, then take the ferry to Xiamen, and the train to Shanghai.

Yes, no problem. Everyone else does. No cost. But you will have a weight limit on the flight to Kinmen (Jinmen).
I took the train up to Hangzhou last month. The whole process is very smooth. You need to catch a taxi from the ferry to the north station though as the bus route is too complicated to bother with.
Be aware that there is nowhere to get food (except some shitty chinese snacks) at the north station. You can get lunchboxes and even beer on the D-train to Shanghai.
Most of the ride through Fujian is very scenic.

“Everywhere else in the world is also really old” said Prof. Liu, a renowned historian at Beijing University. “We always learn that China has 5000 years of cultural heritage, and that therefore we are very special. It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”

What is the weight limit? only one piece or two? Do you know what the cost of extra baggage is?

There is no limit that I know of. They don't even look at your bags when you get a ticket. Ofcourse you go through securitu but again they don't weigh.
