I want to write a real Xiamen Raiders slowly, without small freshness and hype.
In view of BF's visit to Xiamen, I decided to write a travel guide to Xiamen, telling tourists how to play in Xiamen, where to go and where not to go from the perspective of a foreigner who has been in Xiamen for three and a half years.
1. Before you travel to Xiamen, you must first have a big concept: Xiamen Island (the so-called "urban area") is very small, less than 130 square kilometers. Xiamen Island is only one-ninth the size of Pudong, so you can go anywhere on the island in half an hour by taxi.
Recommended: Gulangyu Island, a famous scenic spot in China, an old building, a shrine of petty bourgeoisie, is a must.
Zhongshan Road: the most famous pedestrian street in Xiamen. At the end of the ferry, Gulangyu Island is just opposite.
Xiamen seafood must be tasted.
Several shopping plazas: SM, Xiamen District and Railway Station District are all good.
Of course, snacks in Xiamen can't be let go
Hu Lishan Fort, Island Road and Tingtao by the sea.
Xiamen, Nanputuo, Baicheng Beach
Several mountains in Tonga
Tulou Group in Zhangzhou and Several Scenic Spots in Zhangzhou
The tourist attractions in Xiamen include Gulangyu Island, Huandao Road, Shiwan, Jimei, Tongan, Xiang 'an, Haicang, urban areas and marine tourism projects. Gulangyu Island, Huandao Road and the urban area are located in Xiamen Island, and the rest are located in Jimei, Haicang, Tongan and Xiang 'an.
2. About the preparation before going to Xiamen:
(1) Prepare more clothes. Some people say, "Xiamen is very warm." Yes, the highest temperature in Xiamen is about 10 degrees higher than that in Shanghai, but Xiamen is a city with a large temperature difference between day and night, and it is normal for the lowest temperature to reach 4 or 5 degrees at night. Therefore, you should wear more clothes when you come to Xiamen, especially if you want to visit Zhongshan Road at night.
(2) Booking a hotel in advance means booking a house in advance, not too far from the urban area, the scenery must be beautiful, and traveling is a kind of enjoyment.
(3) Do your homework and arrange your trip for a few days. If time is tight, you must not miss several important scenic spots: Gulangyu, Huandao Road and Zhongshan Road.
Let's get down to business, about fun and food.
Zhongshan Road 1: The most famous pedestrian street in Xiamen. Since mini is in Xiamen, Zhongshan Road won't be very long. One end of Zhongshan Road is connected with a ferry, so you can go to Gulangyu Island. There are many snacks and delicious foods along Zhongshan Road: Huang Ze and peanut soup, 1980 roasted dumplings, and taro buns made by Wu, which are actually Huang Ze and peanut soup near the ferry. I really don't think so. Too sweet may be my personal taste. There are many snacks on Zhongshan Road near Tiger City. Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is a famous sculpture in old Minnan. It's interesting. Don't buy local specialties on Zhongshan Road. It's expensive to buy in a large supermarket.
2. Ferry: Starting from Zhongshan Road, it is a ferry. The architecture of the ferry is often called "Little Bund" by Shanghai people who live in a foreign land. The specific style can be imagined. Ferry can go to Gulangyu by boat. There is no need to buy a ticket from the ferry to Gulangyu Island. Don't trust those counters that return to 15 yuan. This is fraud. Ask the staff where to board the ship, and you can board the ship directly. The night view of Gulangyu Island from the ferry is quite beautiful.
There is a famous seafood-Little Peter Fishing Village on Lujiang Road near the ferry. People who eat seafood are from southern Fujian. Authentic food, cheap, good environment. Xiamen Special Fried Crab, Xiamen Longtu Soup. Tel: 0592-22368 17.
I found that this old Minnan booth holiday was occupied by Shanghainese like locusts. I'll go again when BF comes.
3.Gulangyu Island
When I arrived in Gulangyu, the commercial atmosphere came to my face. Various petty bourgeoisie shops, such as Tea Time, Zhang Sanfeng, Guzhu and BBC, are purely keen on food. Let's go in and look for it. Go to the most crowded one, Huang Shengji, and buy a pack of original pork shops to chew. The clerk is very generous and will give you many pork shops to try.
Afternoon tea time
The recommended ancient chase milk tea is really good. What's more commendable is that the signature curry crab of ancient chase is worth a try. Both milk fragrance and curry are very popular.
As for oyster frying, Minnan people call it oyster frying (pronunciation: owajian), Xiao Qingxin says Longtou Road is delicious, just dip it in Xiamen's sweet and spicy sauce.
Many juice shops have juicers in front of them? Try Taiwan Province fruit. It's true. I really don't know why Xiao Qingxin is still rushing.
You can try famous snacks such as "Ma Li" on Longtou Road and "Fish Pills" on Quanzhou Road in Lin Ji.
Don't go to the Ocean Park in Gulangyu. There is nothing in it, not to mention changfeng park and Shanghai Aquarium.
There are many villas on Gulangyu Island, so you can stroll around for a day. The island has preserved many buildings with various architectural styles at home and abroad, and has the reputation of "World Architecture Expo". In Gulangyu, because there are no motor vehicles, you can wander aimlessly in the alleys and feel the feeling of an uninhabited island.

7. Listen to a Philharmonic or Nanyin in the concert hall.
8. find a room facing the sea for one night
It is suggested that friends who go to Xiamen live in Gulangyu Island, because Gulangyu Island is a must for most tourists. If you can wander leisurely on the island, or simply live in a villa and stay quietly for two or three days, you can truly feel the tranquility and elegance of Gulangyu and taste its petty bourgeoisie and classicality.
There are many family hotels on the island, so you can choose some more personalized family hotels.
1) Longtou Road, Bay View Hotel 17 Tel: 2060466
2)No. Longtou Road 133 of Gulangyu Litchi Island Hotel Tel: 2063309
3) Qindao Hotel (two-star standard) No.8 Lujiao Road Tel: 2066668
4) Piano Hotel No.358, Cuowo Road, which opened at tea time, is an old villa with classical petty bourgeoisie. Tel: 0592-209855.
5) No.33 Huangyang Road, Wujiayuan Holiday Villa Tel: 2236666 Fax: 206 1766
Gulangyu needs a boat ticket to return to Xiamen Island. Off-peak hours in 4 yuan, peak hours and off-peak hours in 8 yuan are posted by the ticket office. You can return to Xiamen Island after buying a boat ticket.
5. Yaodang Lake
I can assure you that all the raiders will not tell you that Xiamen has this place to play, and all Xiao Qingxin will not know that this is the real petty bourgeoisie in Xiamen. The lake is full of cafes converted from old houses, which can be described as a street of bars, restaurants and coffee. As for coffee, that's a matter of opinion. At least in the coffee shop near Yundang Lake, the coffee is freshly ground. ESP can try it. I can't say which is better. Let's experience it for ourselves.
In short, the vicinity of Yundang Lake is just for fun, watching various cafes and walking slowly along the lake.
6. Xiamen University &; Nanputuo & Hu Lishan Fort & pearl bay, etc.
Xiamen University, well, this is a must-see spot in Xiamen. Now Xiamen University can only enter from Xiamen University West Village, and Furong Tunnel is the only way. The graffiti inside was created by Xiamen University students themselves, which is very emotional.
Someone recommended Bingo juice at the West Village Station of Xiamen University. I want to say it again. Haven't you been to Wujiang Road in Shanghai, or haven't you eaten fruit? Why not just use the juicer to extract the juice? It is better to eat fruit directly.
Ok, I got into Xiamen University. Look at the dormitory of Xiamen University. It is a real antique house, and the conditions are certainly not good. Xiamen University is quite small. I heard that there is a lover lake in Xiamen University. I don't know where it is. Please ask Xiamen University students to answer specifically.
Next, Nanputuo. Nanputuo is also being repaired now, but there is only a small hall. You can still go to the mountains. The ticket to Nanputuo is very cheap, it looks like 3 yuan. But you must pay for it yourself and don't let others buy it for you. Burning incense is not allowed in Nanputuo, so don't buy incense outside and bring it in. Selling incense outside is to lie to you tourists. I haven't been on the mountain of Nanputuo for a long time. How long is it? It seems more than ten years. Please explore the specific route on the mountain, but the mountain is not very high. Just climb it and have fun.
Next, pearl bay. Xiamen University has a gate that leads directly to pearl bay. Please ask the students for details. Anyway, you can see a bridge when you get out of the door. Pearl bay is a white beach, and people often play in the water in summer. Pearl bay rides a bike, 10 yuan for one hour. Don't listen to him 15 yuan, and make a counter-offer! ! A bicycle is worth riding, which can help you explore the road and see what's interesting in front (actually, the ancient plank road and Fort Hu Lishan are just ahead).
Note (provided by Xiamen University students): There are some mistakes in my description of Xiamen University, which have been revised for your reference.
On the other side of "you can see a bridge when you leave the door" is Baicheng Xiamen University, where there is a winding field. The beach there is Baicheng Beach. When you walk along the wooden stack to the battery in the lake, you come to pearl bay Beach. There will be a competition team flying kites on the beach for training. Continue to ride a bike, and you will arrive at Huandao Road, where there are many people on the beach and relatively few people. There will be people surfing at sea. The sea breeze smells good. In summer, there will be many small wild flowers on the beach, and many new people will take pictures there.
Next, Huli Mountain Fort. Hu Lishan battery is a kind of battery. If there is anything to see, it's just a few cannons. The ancient plank road is very good, all made of wood, crunching when walking, and quite comfortable when no one is around. PS: You have to buy a ticket to watch a gun. It is forbidden to hold a gun. ==
Many people say that the most beautiful thing about Xiamen University and Gulangyu Island is to sit on the beach and listen to the sea. The sea in Xiamen is indeed clearer than that in Shanghai.
7. You can take a bus around the island to Yefeng Village. There is a playground in Yefeng Village. You can also swim and rent bicycles there. Several people can rent a bicycle to ride along the island road for a while (because there is a place to ride, it's actually quite short, just a formality). The highway around the island is really beautiful. Listen to the music and walk slowly. There is a wooden plank road further down, which is a very, very beautiful and romantic place in short! !
8.SM business district
It belongs to the relatively high-end business circle in Xiamen, especially after the second phase of SM. There is a saying about SM Square, which is short for shopping mall.
What I want to say here is that there is Wal-Mart in SM Phase I.. It is not recommended that you go to Gulangyu or other vendors to buy specialty products. Wal-Mart or Carrefour in Lianban, RT Mart in the Cultural and Art Center, and even Trust-Mart in Zhongshan Road are all relatively reliable shopping malls, but in Xiamen, Wal-Mart is bigger, with more things, and some things are relatively cheap.
Ok, these are Xiao Qingxin's favorite attractions in Xiamen. If you unfortunately choose to visit these scenic spots during your holiday, you will find yourself in a sea of people all the time, just like the feeling in Shanghai. Here are a few places that I find interesting, but small and fresh, and I don't know much about them.
1, Huoshao Island, Xiamen (a place where Xiamen people seldom go on holiday)
2. Haicang Riyuegu Hot Spring (the conditions are good, but the fare is not cheap)
3. Genting Mountain in Tongan
4. Tongan Lotus Mountain Scenic Area
5. Tongan Beichen Mountain
6. Tongan Butterfly Valley
7. Jimei Shuanglongtan (similar to the Oriental Oasis, but in mountainous areas, there are some outward bound training and grass skiing activities)
8. Jimei Olympic Park (many people actually know this, but few)
The above is a simple list, and I will take the time to supplement all its specific gameplay.
This article comes from the school.
Attachment: Xiamen recommends snacks and delicious food, famous spots.
Eat Xiamen seafood
There are some food stalls on Huandao Road, but the price will be higher.
