Speaking of Xiamen, always around the "art", "petty", "walking" these words. Xiamen's arts and culture are spontaneous. It has nothing to do with how many cafes she has, nothing to do with how many flowery dresses she has, but about the character of the city. A large number of free or inexpensive attractions, but also closer to the psychological distance between visitors. The city's openness, tolerance and graciousness always make people feel warm.
I remember once in Xiamen wandering, for no reason at all, the stomach, the neighborhood only a seafood restaurant, I stood in the doorway awkwardly waved to the waiter inside, the waiter walked quickly, greetings have not yet hit the direction of the bathroom pointed.
The character of this city is like that. Everyone treats the city as their own home, and when guests come to their home, they naturally want to be treated well. So we are in this city, always feel the long-lost friendship.
[Free Tour Route]Day1Stroll around Zengcuo Aun, blowing wind on the beach
The scenery of Xiamen is mostly hidden in the city. To visit those places, your feet are the ticket.
Zengcuo Aun is Xiamen's little Gulangyu Island. This small fishing village, hidden on the island road, has been quietly serving as Xiamen's embellishment for many years. If you go to Gulangyu Island during the peak season, it would be a bit of a feat, so it's not a bad idea to back out and visit Zengcuo Aun first.
Zengcuo Aun is just a road away from the beach. On the first day, you can go to the beach first. The beach near Zengcuo Aun is also very unique, it is Xiamen's unique black sand beach. Stepping on the soft black sand and taking a few pictures of your hair flying in the wind is a nice memory.

Xiamen University is known for its historical architecture and large, beautiful campus. There is no entrance fee to enter the campus, just back up your valid ID. Compared to the paid attractions, Xiamen University is more relaxed and cozy, and the atmosphere of books is more refreshing. The café and bookstore at Xiamen University is also well worth a visit, with its warm, soft lighting that makes you lazy. Of course, if you're not in a hurry, you might want to order a cup of coffee and sit with a book for a while, and then you'll realize that you've already spent the morning.
From Xiamen University, you can go across the street to the Nanputuo Temple to see, which the right side of the small door to go in is free, but if you go in from the main gate 3 yuan / person, the price is also very cheap. Even if you don't enter the main hall to burn incense here, it's nice to take a tour outside the hall. The place has pleasant scenery and many monuments, including the stone carvings inscribed by Chen Di and Shen You Rong of the Ming Wanli Calendar and the imperial monument of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
