It's very sunny in Xiamen these days, so do a good job of sun protection. The trip is mainly in the afternoon and evening as far as possible.
I'd like to recommend some places and the time you need to go. It's better for you to play freely.
1. Gulangyu Island is a must, but it will take a whole day to enjoy the island. But the style of Gulangyu Island lies in all kinds of buildings and piano museums on the island, depending on your interests. Plus, there is no other means of transportation on the island except for traveling to sightseeing bus, so most of them have to walk. Do what you can. Of course, there are also special shops excavated by "donkey friends". What "Zhang Sanfeng Tea Shop", "Miss Zhao's Shop", "Xiangkou Fish Pills" and "Spending Time" are all very petty ~ ~ < P > When you go to the island, you can buy a "hand-drawn map" for 1 yuan, and you can follow everything on it. This search process is very interesting.
if you go to the island, you can take a ferry, free of charge, and you only need money when you come back. It's free to come back after 1 pm.
Also, although "Sunlight Rock" is the symbol of Gulangyu Island, it costs 6 yuan to go up, so you can take photos below and leave without spending that money.
2. Around Xiamen University. Around Xiamen University, you can go to Nanputuo Temple, which is next to Xiamen University. It takes less than an hour to play and the incense is extremely strong. Tickets are also very cheap, depending on whether you believe it or not.
As a scenic spot, Xiamen University itself is worth seeing, such as Furong Lake and Auditorium.
Baicheng Beach outside Xiamen University is a good choice. Personally, I think the beaches in Gulangyu Island are relatively poor, and the sand is a little hard and dirty. Baicheng has fine sand and beautiful scenery. In addition, starting from "Baicheng Beach", it is a famous island-circling road in Xiamen, which is very beautiful. You can rent a bicycle for two, which costs about 5 yuan an hour. It is recommended to play at night. In the middle of the road, there is a famous Chinese character "One country, two systems, reunifying China" near the "Coconut Wind Village", facing the "Golden Gate", and the "Three People's Principles, reunifying China" across the sea on Erdan Island, opposite the Kuomintang territory. Take pictures as a souvenir.
If you can't fill the day, you can go to the nearby Huli Mountain Fort.
3. "Yongding Tulou" near Xiamen takes a day to travel by car. It is also a scenic spot with architectural characteristics.
4. In addition, Xiamen City, Bailuzhou Park, Convention and Exhibition Center and Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street are all choices to fill the blank time.
Tourism is mainly about leisure, so don't get too tired. Xiamen itself is also a leisurely place.
do you have a place to live?
I recommend that you stay in the "Home Inn". Remember it must be a "ferry shop", where there is a room with a sea view. The room rate is around 23
If you consider the price, you can search other hotels online, but it must be near the ferry.
Why do you always emphasize "ferry"? Because it is the closest to Gulangyu Island and next to the commercial street "Zhongshan Road", which is very prosperous and can be regarded as the essence of Xiamen.
What to eat:
Hailijian is the first snack in Xiamen, and there is Huang Ze and Peanut Soup Snack on Zhongshan Road, which specializes in selling Xiamen specialty snacks. Hailijian and Peanut Soup are a must!
Seafood is of course a big food stall. There is a "small glasses food stall" near Wenzao, which is very famous. The practice of Xiamen seafood is mostly "soy sauce water", that is, boiled with juice, which retains the original flavor of seafood. The only thing to worry about is diarrhea, hehe ~ ~
Then there are "tea shops" all over the street, such as milk tea, smoothies and grass jelly. I love grass jelly ~ ~
If you want to bring some souvenirs, it is "Riguangyan" pie and "Golden Fragrant" beef jerky. Gulangyu Island and downtown Xiamen are all bought, overwhelming.
