Essential Xiamen travel guide
1️⃣Ring Island Road
The entire route is a beautiful seascape, you can drive yourself, or take the No. 29 bus. Pay attention to the traffic situation in advance if you ride a bicycle or rent an electric car.
2️⃣ Baicheng Beach
A great place to see the sea in Xiamen! You can see the Twin Towers, there are fewer people, blowing the sea breeze, watching the sunset, enjoying the romantic and free atmosphere.
3️⃣ Gulangyu
A must-visit spot when you come to Xiamen, you need to book the ferry ticket in advance on the 'Yu Jian Xiamen' mini program, a 35 yuan ticket is enough, it includes round trip. Choose Sanqiu Tian Pier as the arrival place first, it's closer to the attractions. You can try 'Xiao Min Satay Noodles', it's affordable and tastes good!
4️⃣ Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street
Take the boat back from Gulangyu directly to Zhongshan Road to eat some special delicacies, the frozen top and four-fruit soup are very good! It's very lively here at night, you can take some photos and then find a restaurant to eat seafood. Try the special ginger duck, oyster fried rice, etc., fresh and delicious!
5️⃣ Nanputuo Temple
Nanputuo Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, similar to Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, it worships Guanyin Bodhisattva, and is the most famous temple in southern Fujian. You will pass by Xiamen University, if you have time, you can also go for a visit, but don't forget to make an appointment in advance.
6️⃣ Shapowei Art West District
A check-in place for literary and artistic youth, there are many photo spots, as well as various old streets, alleys, coffee bars and various authentic foods. Xiamen's famous bakery 'juicy' is also here, friends who like to eat bread must not miss it.
7️⃣ Xiamen Botanical Garden
The rainforest area and succulent plant area are two popular garden areas, the photos are absolutely beautiful, don't miss the time when the rainforest area sprays mist. But there are more people in these two places, other places like the camellia garden, pine and cypress garden are actually quite good, but they are more suitable for locals to stay in for a day, if you don't have enough time, you don't have to check in.
8️⃣ Zengcuoan
There are many complex food streets, you can experience hairpin flowers without going to Quanzhou, there are many shops where you can choose more clothes, if you have requirements for photos, it is recommended to make an appointment with a photographer in advance, there are many accompanying photographers in Xiamen who are actually very nice, if you don't like the same photography style, you can try it. The oysters here are big and fat, and the price is very cheap, recommend 'Yi Ge High Pressure Pot Oysters'.
9️⃣ Jimei School Village
Jimei School Village is across the sea from Xiamen Island and is known as 'China's Most Beautiful School Village'. You can take the subway line 1 to get there, and you can also store your luggage for free🛅. The prices are lower in the university town, it is recommended to eat 'Yangfu Craftsman Glutinous Rice Cake', the soft and glutinous rice cake is wrapped with vanilla ice cream, it's really amazing! There is also a ten-mile long embankment (you might encounter a band performance), and the Garden Expo Garden, friends who are interested can go for a stroll~
I heard that Xiamen Wuyuanwan sailing experience is very good, there are many choices, choose this, the captain is very enthusiastic, used to open a big ship, the ship is very good, and also explained to us a lot of ship and sailing knowledge. I saw the beautiful scenery and gained a full knowledge, very happy and fulfilling.
Booked in advance here, the price is OK, 55 yuan, much cheaper. It is 98 yuan to buy on the spot. The transportation is very convenient, the arrangement time is also very good, someone will contact you in advance to confirm. If the sailing boat is manually not an electric motor, it will be fine.
A fantastic place to run at night or cycle for exercise. It has separate roads too
The most beautiful sightseeing scenery in Xiamen, Huangpi Beach 🏖 is suitable for watching the sunrise 🌅, Zengcuo Beach 🏖 and the air health trail are suitable for shooting the sunset 🌄! My favorite is...Find a favorite cafe to eat a long-time light food and drink a cup of mellow coffee with the taste of awakening can not help sigh...The breeze is always quiet.
The captain is really good, there is no other sales throughout the whole process, there are explanations along the way, there are also tips, if you come back next time, you will choose
The trail is well repaired, stop and see, the beach should be able to enter the water in summer
