The design is very unique, and there are many kinds of flowers and plants inside. The Desert Botanical Garden is worth recommending. The various cacti look very spectacular, the transportation is also very convenient, and the tour guides are also very enthusiastic. It is a good place for parents and children.
Xiamen Botanical Garden is worth a visit. It is a 5A tourist attraction and it is really big. We chose to take a sightseeing bus, but I think the most worthwhile thing to see is the sightseeing elevator. The scenery is really beautiful. I took a lot of photos there and I really felt that the scenery was very beautiful.

Came here to see the Krupp cannon. The boy liked it. The cannon was well preserved. It was really big when you saw it in person. The sea view was beautiful. There was a performance at 4pm on a hot day. It lasted 18 minutes. I really felt that it was not easy for the actors!
The performance was too superficial and not serious. I hope the leaders of the scenic area can manage the image of the performers well, highlight the characteristics of patriotic education, and be helpful to the tourists, especially the children!

Chongqing Science and Technology Museum is free from entrance to project experience (only movies are charged separately). Not only do they charge for tickets to the main entrance, but they also make the purchase of tickets for the main venue very hidden (you can't buy tickets from Ctrip or the official public account, you have to buy them from the "Ticket Announcement" menu page)
The Children's Museum is suitable for children before the first grade, but not for adults. Children like it very much. It is recommended for both scientific and interesting aspects. The recommended visiting time is 4 hours.

Seeing Kinmen from the sea and visiting Xiamen on the boat was a very good experience. The whole journey took about an hour, the boat departed on time, and the ticket check and upload were quick and convenient.
The boat was spacious, and the view upstairs and downstairs was good, which was a good leisure experience.
Environment and Facilities
The hotel environment is clean and elegant, the room layout is reasonable, the facilities are complete and well-maintained (such as dry and wet separation shower, comfortable bedding) hotel facilities. The lobby is warm and stylish, the art decoration in the public area enhances the atmosphere, and the good sound insulation ensures a quiet rest.
Service Quality
The front desk is efficient, the staff is warm and thoughtful, and the experience from check-in to check-out is smooth; the room is clean and meticulous, and the details such as daily replenishment of toiletries are in place. Special thanks to the front desk service for helping with additional services such as ticket booking/taxi calling, which truly reflects the feeling of home.
Location and Cost-effectiveness
The location is excellent, close to bus stops or attractions, and travel is convenient; the parking lot is spacious, suitable for self-driving tourists. Reasonable price, including rich buffet breakfast and free gym facilities, super cost-effective.
Overall Experience
This stay is far beyond expectations, both the hardware facilities and the humanistic services are satisfactory, especially the tour guide/driver team is professional and humorous (if it involves travel products), and the itinerary is relaxed. Will recommend relatives and friends and choose Ctrip to book again!

After the renovation last year, many new projects were added, and there are more projects for children to play. Now they can play until the evening, and the night lights are beautiful. It is worth coming more often during the summer vacation
There are many kinds of recreational facilities, whether it is the exciting roller coaster, such as "Eye of the Storm", which rotates 720 degrees and stops and reverses suddenly, making people scream and their heartbeats accelerate; - The projects in the park combine high-tech and fantasy elements, such as "Magic Castle", wearing 3D glasses as if you are in a real magic world, and "Water Flooding Jinshan" through real-life performances, indoor drifting and water curtain movies, which vividly show the story of the Legend of the White Snake and make people feel as if they are on the scene.

Shuzhuang Garden is amazing! It perfectly combines the elegance of Jiangnan gardens with the majesty of the sea. Canghai Garden is "hidden first and then revealed". When you turn out of the Moon Cave Gate, the shock of the sea rushing towards you is unforgettable; the rockery maze of the Twelve Caves in the Bushan Garden is full of fun, where you can shuttle with family and friends to find the zodiac. There is also a piano museum where you can listen to the beautiful piano music.
Today is a sunny day, so the scenery of the garden is also very beautiful, especially the blue sky and blue ocean in the distance, which is refreshing. Nearby, there is a century-old banyan tree with swaying leaves. After visiting the historical stories, sit down and enjoy the scenery and experience the feelings of the owner of the garden.

It was a very interesting experience to take a sailboat for the first time. I bought the order on Ctrip, which was simple and convenient. At the appointed time, more than a dozen people gathered together and put on life jackets 🦺 to get on the boat. The trip took a while, and there was definitely enough time to take pictures. The wind was very strong, and my hair was flying in the photos. I suggest wearing a hat, hahaha.
It's worth it, but we went during the off-season, so the price is relatively expensive during holidays. The scenery on the sea is great. The wind and waves are a bit strong in winter. Standing on the boat, I felt like I had gained divine power and was crowned the king of the ocean, and I experienced the pleasure of cutting through the waves. When there is no fog, you can see Taiwan on the other side. If you are super lucky, you can see marine animals such as dolphins. We didn't see any when we went there.

厦门潮汐之眼摩天轮是一个非常适合放松和拍照的地方。摩天轮位于海边，能够俯瞰整个厦门市区和海景，视野非常开阔。舱内设施齐全，乘坐舒适，尤其是日落时分景色非常美而惬意。购票流程方便，工作人员态度友好。周边有多个购物中心和餐厅，游玩后可以顺便购物和用餐。虽然高峰期需要排队，但总体来说体验非常不错，推荐给家庭和情侣游客。
The view of the Ferris wheel on the sea is super beautiful. In fact, I think it should be the most beautiful when the sun sets. I took the evening one and the view was also good. I hope I can take the evening one next time to see the beautiful view of the sea at sunset.

When you come to Xiamen, Baicheng Beach is a must-visit place. It is located at the foot of Baicheng in the south of Xiamen University. From the Baicheng Gate of Xiamen University, you can cross the overpass to this charming beach.
The sand on Baicheng Beach is fine and soft, and it feels itchy and comfortable when you step on it. The sea water is clear and the waves gently hit the beach, leaving shallow water marks. Walking along the coastline, you can see the shells on the beach shining in the sun, as if they were treasures left by the sea.
This is not only a good place to appreciate the natural beauty, but also a great place to experience seaside activities. On the beach, children happily dig sand and build castles, while adults play and take pictures on the beach. At low tide, you can also bring tools to catch the sea and harvest a lot of "trophies". In addition, Baicheng Beach is also one of the best places to watch the sunset in Xiamen. Every time the sun sets, the sky is dyed orange-red, and the golden afterglow sprinkles on the sea, sparkling and beautiful.
Baicheng Beach not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also integrates a profound cultural heritage. The beach is dotted with giant mice, the semi-circular sky bridge is like a huge clock, and the Baicheng ruins are carved with various abstract square patterns, as if telling the story of time.
Here, you can enjoy the sun, beach and sea breeze, and feel the romance and vitality of Xiamen, a coastal city. Baicheng Beach is really a place where people don't want to leave once they come!
Baicheng Beach is a tourist attraction in Fujian Province. It is located on Huandao South Road. You can get there after you exit the Baicheng Gate in the east of Xiamen University and walk across the overpass. Baicheng Beach is very long, with beautiful environment and convenient transportation. Local citizens and tourists from all over the world like to stroll and play here. The beach has fresh air and beautiful scenery. It feels very comfortable to walk on the beach. Although Baicheng Beach is a natural beach, some sand will be slowly taken away due to the continuous scouring of sea water. In some places of the beach in the Baicheng area, silt can be seen at low tide, and many rocks are also exposed. The Xiamen government is organizing personnel to specially renovate and repair the beach in the Baicheng area of Yanwu Bridge to restore the unique beauty of Xiamen beaches.

炎炎夏日，骄阳似火。身上像抱个火球般，热啊。进入水上乐园，像是去到了清凉的避暑胜地，喝着冰镇柠檬茶，好是快活呀！
Who knows about this water park? It's so fun. There are all kinds of exciting slides. It's so cool to dive down from the top! The waves in the wave pool are so big that it feels like being in the sea. There is also a shallow water area suitable for children. The facilities are cute and safe. The snacks in the park are also good. It's super satisfying to eat and play. Children must come!
