First of all, Xiamen's public security is better, so you won't be suddenly robbed when you walk on the road.
Of course, the premise is that you don't walk in an empty alley when the night is dark and windy. I can't promise.
Gulangyu Island is a very good island with beautiful scenery.
But in my opinion, it is best not to live on the island.
Gulangyu is just a small island. You can go there in about 1 day. Don't live on it.
First, the better hotels in Gulangyu Island are more expensive, and summer vacation is the peak season, which is more expensive.
I don't know if it's safe to live in a youth hostel or something, but living alone is definitely much better than living with some other people I don't know.
It is best to choose some express hotels in the urban area, such as Home Inn and Hanting Hotel.
I just showed you the quotation. About 200 yuan, there is a double bed. You can live alone.
It is relatively economical and clean, and generally has a good reputation.
As for the shopping department, specialty stores and the like.
If you have to buy souvenirs for your friends, I regret to tell you that there is no-
Xiamen has been trying to find something representative in recent years, but so far there is no result.
The characteristics of Xiamen are basically snacks.
You can take some food in moderation, or you can stay a little longer and take it back to your city.
Of course, they are basically the same kind, so let's try it locally.
Snacks are usually satay noodles, frozen bamboo shoots, pies, and many others I won't list one by one.
Satay noodles are famous for their four miles. Others, such as Huanhuan on Zhongshan Road (mainly because there are many tourists), personally think Lihua is also good.
The latter two are on Zhongshan Road, Huanhuan is in the middle of Zhongshan Road, and Lihua is in front of Zhongshan Road.
Frozen bamboo shoots and so on, of course, there are delicious ones, but I really can't remember the name and it's hard to find.
There is a stall next to Xinhua Bookstore on Zhongshan Road, but its main business is selling meat buns, which are also very good, as well as sour plum soup and the like.
But not everyone dares to eat frozen bamboo shoots and sweat-
At this age, even children in Xiamen dare not eat-
Sure, it tastes good. I didn't dare at first, but I liked it after trying it.
There are basically pies in all tourist spots, all under the banner of Xiamen specialty.
I remind you never to listen to a tour guide or anything, just buy it at Gulangyu Island.
Seriously, outsiders won't know the difference, but locals will never buy those.
Like we buy pies for people, we usually go to Ajizai (on Zhongshan Road, just ask).
There's another one from Yu Xiu Road. Sorry, I forgot its name-it's behind the Youth Palace.
Besides, if you go to Gulangyu, you must eat a girl (in Xiamen dialect, it is called Heji).
The only authentic one in Xiamen is on Gulangyu Island, and Xinhua Bookstore on Zhongshan Road is his branch.
Other than that, it's all foreign practices or something.
On Gulangyu Island, in the street, in front of a pillar, you only need to see the whole wall (or pillar, I forgot) behind it.
They are all Chinese time-honored brands, and you will know.
Staring at the Zhongshan Road branch opposite Xinhua Bookstore.
Gulangyu also has a famous fish ball with only one booth. The others were copied after seeing the store become popular.
It's also a small courtyard with a well in it, so I can only recognize it. I have also been to the CCTV Hope English Tour in Xiamen. You can look for it.
Let's stop here. If you want to know anything else, just ask.
