116💰/3 nights
3.18 Day One Weather☁️
1⃣️South Putuo Temple (reservation required)
2⃣️Shapowei
Close to South Putuo Temple, so I came to have a look. This area is mainly known for its night market, so it's not very lively during the day, but it's good for taking pictures (recommend the rooftop of the Art West District).
I finished browsing just in time for 🌟Weilin Dessert to open at 12:30. I added lotus root, taro, white glutinous rice, and adzuki beans, with a free silver ear mushroom soup as the base, totaling 15💰. The lotus root and taro are marinated in brown sugar, highly recommended!
3⃣️Botanical Garden (student ticket 15💰)
Entered from the south gate, took the sightseeing elevator, and walked to the ticket office to buy a one-way ticket for 5💰.
A one-way ticket means you can only take it once, but it's enough for those who only want to visit the succulent and rainforest areas. After visiting, exit from the west gate, the total walking distance is less than 1km, and if the weather is good, you can also take the Zhonggu Cableway.
4⃣️Baicheng Beach
No sunset on a cloudy day, but it's healing to watch the waves and feel the sea breeze by the beach! I also made good friends here🥹.
5⃣️SM City Plaza
Went to eat with the couple I met at Baicheng Beach.
6⃣️Ten Mile Long Embankment
After eating, we drove to the Ten Mile Long Embankment, but it was too late, and it was a weekday, so there were few people!
3.19 Day Two Weather☀️
1⃣️Gulangyu Island
Bought the ferry ticket on the Xiao🍊 app 'Meet Xiamen', round trip 35💰, make sure to choose a sunny day.
📝On the ferry, a staff member said: Each tourist takes a different path, sees different scenery, and the travel experience is different.
Besides some photo spots, I think there's no need to follow a specific route, just wander around and you might see some unexpected beautiful views🤓.
✅Ruanji Satay Noodles (if you plan to eat this, you can get off at Neicuo'ao Pier, which is very close).
The cheapest is 15💰, the most expensive is 45💰, it's up to you, and the taste is very good!
✅Photo spots
Recommend 📍Dadeji Bathing Beach
Opposite are Xiamen's landmark buildings, the World Trade Twin Towers and Yanwu Bridge, great for photos📷.
2⃣️Yefengzhai
Came here for the swing photos, located at 📍OFF WORK by the sea.
3⃣️Baicheng Beach
A busier beach than Yefengzhai, a good place to watch the sunset🌄.
4⃣️Market Eight
✅A Jie Five-Spice
4💰/piece, you can buy one to try, the taste is okay but a bit greasy after too much.
✅A Long Satay Pork Loin
10💰/3 skewers, tastes good, the pork loin is tender.
3.20 Day Three Weather🌤️
1⃣️Huangcuo Beach Sunrise
The sunrise time predicted by the iPhone's built-in weather app is quite accurate, no need to come too early, it's windy in the morning, remember to bring a thick coat!
2⃣️Li Juying Burnt Tofu (Gugong Road Store)
✅Double Taro Tofu Curd
This is super delicious!
✅Brown Sugar Burnt Tofu
Compared to the Double Taro Tofu Curd, this one is quite ordinary.
✅Taro Bun
Recommended, the outside is sticky, and the inside is filled with meat.

Beautiful, incredible, absolutely amazing! Loved getting to see this temple, with all the intricate details. When visiting Xiamen, you can’t miss it!
This time the tour guide was married to the young lady who was married to Xiamen. She knew Xiamen in Fujian. She said a lot of local customs and habits along the way, and the historical origin of the ancient temple. great. The only downside is that 1.5h, about 1h is over, a little bit of meaning is still not enough. It is recommended to come to the ancient temple to ask the tour guide to explain, otherwise it is white!
Nanputuo Temple is located on the edge of Xiamen University, so you can play on the same day as Xiamen University. It is a famous Buddhist monastery in southern Anhui and even the country.

There are two mountain gates outside the temple, and the distance before the two doors is very close, so any door can go in. The release pool is in front of the two doors, with turtles inside and lotus ponds in front. Nanputuo Temple is very small. If you are not ready to climb Wulaofeng, you can visit it quickly.

There are sweet and salty fillings of various flavors. If there is a difficulty in choosing, the reputation is better with coconut flavor, pumpkin flavor and mung bean flavor.

It’s worth it. I don’t know so much about it without listening to the explanation. It’s good. I took the children and the children liked it very much.
