self-help tourism in Xiamen

1 Xiamen:

It can be said that self-help tourism is one of the most developed tourism modes in recent years because of its flexibility, self-help, temporality and strong experience. Let' s give you some advice on self-help tourism in Xiamen.

Suggested number:

More than 2 people, so that they can take care of each other during the tour. (However, we have also received a lot of tourists who are traveling alone, and watched a hobby. In fact, Xiamen is so romantic, standing on the sand, listening to MP3 and blowing the sea breeze ... Let's use your's imagination, Xiamen belongs to you). Travel preparation: change clothes (swimsuits can be prepared in summer in Xiamen (everyone should pay attention to safety and go to the designated swimming pool, with relevant safety measures, safety first), commonly used medicines, ID cards and other documents. The summer temperature in Xiamen is high, just a shirt is enough, and the same is true for ladies. The coldest temperature in Xiamen in winter is 8 degrees at night. Two pieces of autumn clothes will be fine. Generally, the coldest day is above 15 degrees.

3. Preparation cost: < P > It depends on the individual's economy. (No, I don't have any money, so take a bank card. All the major banks in Xiamen are interoperable. ATM is available 24 hours a day, and each card can take up to 5,111 yuan a day.) Don't take too much cash during the trip. Card security.

4. Accommodation:

When you go to Xiamen, you must experience the sea rhyme. It is recommended to stay in Gulangyu Island or a hotel near the sea, with prices ranging from two to four stars, ranging from 121 to 3111. The May Day, November and Spring Festival in Xiamen are the peak season, and the rooms are quite tight. I suggest that you make a reservation in advance. Through our reservation, we will give you the best discount and service quality, with a maximum of 2-7 rooms. I don't want to scare you, but you can't find a room in Xiamen during the peak season. (It's a friendly reminder! ! ! )

5. Means of transportation:

How to get there: There are direct trains, civil aviation, steamboats and buses in Xiamen. Please refer to the "Traffic-related column" of this website for specific times. If your train fails to reach Xiamen directly, you can transfer to yingtan, Jiangxi. There are direct flights to Xiamen in provincial (some municipal) cities all over the country, and buses to Xiamen in neighboring provinces of Fujian Province. For self-driving see "This website drives to Xiamen". Tourist transportation: The public transportation in Xiamen is very developed. You can take the bus to Xiamen-related scenic spots, and the city bus passes through 1 yuan (air-conditioned car is 2 yuan/person). By bus, the train station can reach the ferry directly (19 Gulangyu, 17 Nanputuo, 17 Wanshi Botanical Garden, 19 Huandao Road (Convention and Exhibition Center), 1 Terminal, 5 Hulishan Fort and 811 Jimei). Xiamen airport has TAX all day, and you can take bus no.27 to the urban area when you leave the station. (After the train station) For others, please refer to the relevant Xiamen bus lines in the "Travel Reference" of this station.

6. Suggested itinerary:

There are 7 regular tourist attractions in Xiamen: Gulangyu, Nanputuo, Hulishan Fort, Huandao Road, Wanshi Botanical Garden, Haicang Bridge and Jimei aoyuan.

Generally, Gulangyu can only finish its itinerary after a day's walk. Sunlight Rock, in particular, is the first scenic spot in Xiamen and a must-see for tourists coming to Xiamen. There is a saying that "if you don't go to Sunlight Rock in Xiamen, you don't go to Xiamen". Climbing the Sunlight Rock, Xiamen's close-up and long-term vision are all in the eye, and the sea breeze is blowing slowly, which will definitely lead to the situation of forgetting myself. On Gulangyu Island, you can see the ancient buildings where Chinese and Western cultures meet, and experience another Gulangyu Island with the title of "Architecture of the World". Zheng Chenggong stationed troops, water tables, statues, etc., dreaming back to the scene of national heroes in those days. On the island, you can also visit the "Folk Village" with Minnan customs and culture, and watch the "Xiamen Underwater World" of underwater fish. Some friends who come to Xiamen don't go to the "Xiamen Botanical Garden". I don't think it is recommended. In fact, the scenic area of Xiamen Botanical Garden is quite good. You can enjoy plants that are native to Africa, as well as magical plants such as stale fruits and discolored grass. If the group reaches 11 people, I will personally guide you through Xiaobian.

Temples in Xiamen: Nanputuo is quite famous. Other temples, such as Brahma Temple in Xiang 'an District of Xiamen and Qingjiao Ziji in Haicang District, can also be visited. Xiamen Island Road is also an indispensable tourist attraction in Xiamen. This tourist route starts from the Hulishan Fort, and you can see the world's largest ancient coastal artillery. On the road around the island, you can see the longest stone carving five lines in China (named: Wave of Gulangyu Island).

7. Suggested itinerary (for reference only):

Two-day tour of Xiamen Essence: Day 1: Gulangyu Island (Sunlight Rock, Folk Spring, Gangzaihou Beach, Luzhuang Garden) in the morning, Haoyue Garden, World Architecture Expo Line and Underwater World in the afternoon.

the next day: in the morning, Wanshi Botanical Garden and Nanputuo Temple, and in the afternoon, Hulishan Fort, Huandao Road, Convention and Exhibition Center and Jimei aoyuan.

8. Dining-related:

There are many seafood in Xiamen, but they are not too expensive. The famous restaurants are: Haoqingxiang and Jiali seafood in Xiamen. The mid-range ones are: Nanhai Fish Village. The seafood in general food stalls in Xiamen is also good, which is common on the streets of Xiamen. Personally, I think the famous dishes: Nanputuo vegetarian dishes, bamboo shoots and ice (snacks) are good and famous. Other seafood can also be eaten in other places.

9. Snacks: There are too many snacks in Xiamen, such as Satay Noodles and Huangze, peanut soup, pancakes, fried oysters, Xiamen fried noodles, spring rolls, crispy rice and flat food. Xiaobian, I can't count. If it's convenient, take the ferry from Gulangyu to Xiamen, and you can eat it on Zhongshan Road.

11. Tourist souvenirs: < P > Shopping: The main specialties of Xiamen are Gulangyu pie (many kinds), golden fragrant floss, seafood, dried fruit, tea (oolong tea) and so on. It's best to shop around

souvenirs: <; Stone carvings, especially shadow carvings, are worth buying. There are many souvenir shops on Gulangyu Island. You can go in and choose one or two. Maybe you like them. Reminder: Look more, ask more, shop around, don't follow the trend, don't covet small profits.

Precautions for self-help travel to Xiamen

As the saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. So what are you afraid of when you travel? Don't be afraid. After reading the precautions for Xiamen tourism, you can travel to Xiamen without worry.

1. Find a hotel in Xiamen for self-help travel, and don't be fooled by taxi drivers or soliciting customers. Self-help travel to Xiamen airport or railway station and take a taxi to find a hotel. Taxi drivers will charge 21%-31% of the room rate as a rebate, some as high as 51%. If the accommodation fee is 211 yuan/room, the general rebate is 81 yuan; If the room rate is 311 yuan, the rebate is 121 yuan. Because of the kickback, the room rate is relatively high or the location of the accommodation is relatively partial, so it is not a convenient place to go out. When looking for a hotel by taxi, when you are inquiring with the waiter, the waiter or security guard will pay attention to whether there are references behind you. Trick: When you travel to a new place, you must not choose hotels or hostels introduced by street people (soliciting guests). If they come into the hotel with you, they will ask the hotel for 21% of your room rate as his referral fee after you check in. Of course, the wool is on the sheep, and you pay for it. Your room rate and water price have gone up. So when you get out of the railway station, airport or taxi platform and a person is around you (no, a bunch of people are around you), you say: someone will pick you up later or you have booked a hotel (the world will be quiet immediately). If you can't find the hotel for a while, it doesn't matter to "arrange" your mobile phone and call: 1592_8387359. Our customer service specialist will help you solve the problem immediately, so as not to be entangled by hotel snatchers. If several people are traveling together, send two people to the hotel first. After checking in, they will make friends when they come back. Don't go to the hotel together. After the driver helps you put your luggage into the wine, there is no room for bargaining. It's not easy to get rid of the accommodation references. You have to rely on your own skills, which will save a lot of money. Nowadays, all travel websites have reservation services, and they are constantly being promoted, and the price is moderate and the service is good. It is worthy of your trust.

2. Precautions for traveling and shopping in Xiamen

Shopping in Xiamen tourist attractions, especially Gulangyu Island. Merchants hawking along the street are one after another, and buyers are new here and don't know which one to buy and what to buy. Come with me. . . . The "basic" specialties purchased in Xiamen are: Gulangyu Pie (authentic brand: Riguangyan series products and Chenji series products) and meat products (golden fragrant series floss, authentic only a small shop located in Longtou Road, with the brand of China's time-honored brand hanging at the door. The products of this shop have a history of more than 1,111 years. Seafood products, pearls and other products can be used by all families, depending on your eyesight, but Xiaobian is examining one. Shadow sculpture is also a good product and can be purchased. As for a box of tea at 11 yuan on the street, forget it. Don't buy it. Dried longan is mostly made with flour and sugar, and it is not recommended to buy it. Xiaobian has never bought a good one (dizzy). Detailed introduction of the special products of this site can be seen (not all of them are in the collection). Friendly reminder: read more, choose more, and compare goods

Xiamen snacks raiders

Xiamen's flavor snacks have a long reputation, and there are more than 211 kinds of them. Among them, the salty roasted meat zongzi, fish ball soup, shrimp noodles, pancakes, taro buns, leek boxes, frozen bamboo shoots, Satay Noodles, scallion in oil, and fried rye strips are the most enduring, while the sweets, such as peanut soup, dumpling soup, candied cakes, fried dough twists, fried dates, fried garlic and noodle tea, are the most enduring.

Moreover, many famous snacks with traditional characteristics have gradually evolved into refined, small, high-grade and diversified dishes, which have leapt to formal banquets and become elegant.

Spring rolls-Xiamen used to call them "pancakes". According to legend, Cai Fuyi, a Tongan man in the Ming Dynasty, and the military affairs of Yungui and Huguang, the governor, often read official documents all day, and were too busy to eat. Mrs. Cai was worried that her husband would be hungry for a long time, so she came up with a way: wrap the dishes in a noodle bag, and let Mr. Cai write with his right hand and eat with his left hand, which is very convenient.

This kind of eating method gradually spread, and became a famous household product in southern Fujian. Every family has the habit of eating pancakes on holidays, especially in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

The main ingredients of Xiamen pancakes are bamboo shoots, peas, bean sprouts, vermicelli, dried bean curd, fish, shrimps, diced diced meat, oysters, carrots, etc. As for all kinds of condiments, we should mix them appropriately, but we attach great importance to seasoning with dried flat fish, which tastes crisp, tender and delicious.

oil onion fruit-Mid-Autumn Festival is commonly known as "July and a half", and there is an old folk custom of worshipping ancestors with salted fruit. Legend has it that when a family steamed this kind of offering, the child opened the steaming spring W and saw that the salted fruit was half-cooked, thinking it was "white and tasteless", so he poured a bowl of meat dishes into the fruit. After being discovered by adults, it was "steamed with raw rice". But it tastes good.

As a result, people competed to imitate it, and after evolution, it changed from salted onion fruit to oily onion fruit. The method is as follows: shredded pork, diced long pepper, fried and crushed flat fish or shrimp skin, rice sauce, white sugar, sweet potato powder, scallion, spiced powder and salt are made into balls, and rice slurry is put into a bowl for cooking.

when eating, you should cut it open, and add some sand tea sauce, orange juice, garlic paste and radish acid to taste flexible and fragrant, which is delicious.

Soil bamboo shoot jelly-it is a kind of common name "soil bamboo shoot" which grows in beach mud and looks like earthworms on land. It is crushed, washed and boiled, and then put into a small wine cup with rich gum, cooled and frozen into small round pieces. When eating, use soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Chili sauce, peanut butter, mustard, and garlic as ingredients to eat.

Zhou Lianggong, a native of Henan, once praised this ugly but delicious "bamboo shoot" in his book Min Xiao Ji when he was an official in Fujian in the early Qing Dynasty.

oyster frying-oyster frying uses the top-grade oyster "Zhuhao" as the main raw material, mixes the eggs, sweet potato powder and chopped garlic evenly, and then fries them in a pot with a proper amount of lard until both sides are crisp and yellow. When eating, garlic paste, sand tea sauce, coriander, etc. are used as ingredients to achieve crispy, delicate and delicious effects. Barbecued Dumplings-Dumplings are found everywhere, but Xiamen has a unique flavor. It is made of glutinous rice, pork, mushrooms, dried shrimps and chestnuts, which are mixed with oil, wrapped in bamboo leaves and stewed in soup. When eaten, it is served with sand tea sauce, which is not greasy and delicious.

Chinese chive box-Chinese chive box is made of flour mixed with lard as skin, pork leg, shrimp, flat fish, water chestnut, Chinese chives and mushrooms as stuffing, wrapped into cakes like small boxes, kneaded into wavy edges and fried in oil pan. The stuffing is delicious and the skin is crispy.

the fried noodles line, a unique and famous dish in Xiamen, was created by the original "Quanfulou" and "Shuangquan Restaurant". The cooking method is to fry the superior noodle in a 71% hot oil pan until it is reddish yellow, then remove the grease with boiling water for later use, take lean meat, winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms as ingredients, cut into shreds and fry, and add Shaoxing wine to flat fish and shrimp, and then stir-fry the fried noodle with ingredients. When eating, use sand tea sauce and red hot sauce as seasoning.

taro buns-summer and autumn snacks with taro buns. Peeling, cleaning and mashing areca taro into raw taro paste, adding a small amount of starch and refined salt, stirring evenly, coating a layer of oil on the inner wall of the bowl, adding shredded stuffing such as pork, shrimps, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and water chestnuts prepared in advance, and covering with a layer of taro paste. Gently reverse the buckle and take it out, and put it on the steaming umbrella, J-scale, and add pepper, mustard, sand tea sauce, etc., which tastes better.

Fried spiced meat-lean meat is mixed with shallots, flat fish, water chestnuts, duck eggs, monosodium glutamate, superior soy sauce, white sugar and spiced powder. Stir well, roll with bean bag and fry in oil pan until cooked. Cut into small pieces and serve with sand tea sauce. Seasonings such as red hot sauce, mustard, radish acid, coriander and sweet sauce are more delicious.

Peanut soup-Xiamen Peanut soup is a kind of peanut soup, in which the defective grains are removed, soaked in boiling water, and then the film is removed. Add water and put it in a casserole and cook it with slow fire. Only when the peanuts are ripe can sugar be put in, and continue to cook until the peanuts are rotten. At this time, peanuts split in two, floating on the water, rotten but insoluble, juice soluble but water not turbid, oil not greasy, fragrant.

Xiamen's "Huangzehe Peanut Soup" is a representative variety of peanut soup in Xiamen, which is famous in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Taiwan. amp; nbsp;

Noodle paste-Noodle paste is made of fresh seafood such as shrimp, oyster and alkene, and boiled with noodle paste. When cooking, you should master the heat, so as to paste without chaos and paste clearly.

In the batter, besides seafood, duck blood or pig blood can also be added, or a bunch of pig large intestine can be put into the batter for stewing, so that the oil can be blended into it, and the large intestine can be cooked. Besides, fried dough sticks, fried chopped green onion and minced pepper can be used as seasoning, which makes the smell stronger and more delicious. Three, don't choose the expensive one, just choose the right one.

Zhuhai is a good place for self-help tourism

Zhuhai fisherman (a hot spot for self-help tourism in Zhuhai)

Zhuhai fisherman is located by the beautiful Xianglu Bay in Zhuhai City. The fisherman wears a necklace, wears a fishing net, and holds a dazzling pearl in her hands. According to legend, a fairy in ancient times was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Xianglu Bay, and she didn't want to return to the sky. She decided to go down to earth and enjoy the beautiful scenery on earth. Dressed as a fisherman, she weaves nets and fishes for pearls. She is ingenious and kind-hearted. She often uses Ganoderma lucidum with pearl powder to treat fishermen's diseases and is deeply loved by fishermen. In the course of working, she got to know a simple and honest fisherman, Haipeng, who was in love with each other day and night. Unfortunately, Haipeng in honest and frank believed a short man's slanderous remarks and asked the fairy to take off her bracelet as a token of love for him. The fairy burst into tears and told Haipeng her life story. It turned out that the fairy was the daughter of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, and eight housewives in the Dragon Palace put on a bracelet for her to prevent her from thinking about worldly affairs.
