1. Introduction to Xiamen’s attractions: Xiamen is composed of Xiamen Island, Gulangyu Island and the coastal part of the north bank of the Jiulong River. It is backed by the mainland of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. It is a seaport and scenic city in the southeast of my country.

Xiamen is located in the subtropical zone, with a south subtropical monsoon climate, mild and rainy, without severe heat in summer and severe cold in winter.

The average annual temperature is 21°C, with abundant sunshine and abundant flowers and trees all year round, it is known as the "Garden on the Sea".

On the island: Putuo, Xiamen University, Baicheng Beach, Hulishan Fort, and Huandao Road. The reason for recommendation is: Xiamen University is really beautiful, especially in the smog after the rain and in the sunset. These two times are the most beautiful times in Xiamen University.

.

After the rain, there is mist on Furong Lake and on the top of Lingyun Dormitory in the distance. The poinciana trees are blooming in large swaths of flowers under the setting sun. Everything is golden. Listening to the sound of music on the radio, I think of my student days and have to admit that this

It is the most beautiful campus in southern China.

There is also a reservoir on the mountain of Xiamen University, and the scenery is very good. From the location of the reservoir, you can actually see the sea and sunset in the distance.

Baicheng Beach has brought countless romantic memories to generations of Xiamen University people.

It’s really time to fall in love at Xiamen University!

You can also enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze while cycling on the road around the island.

The must-visit Gulangyu Island Gulangyu Tourist Area is one of the 35 top attractions in the country. Whenever you go to Xiamen, it is a must-visit place.

Gulangyu Island is a small island across the sea from Xiamen Island. It covers an area of ??only 1.91 square kilometers and is under the jurisdiction of Xiamen City.

Gulangyu Island was originally named Yuanshazhou. It was renamed in the Ming Dynasty because there were sea caves in the southwest of the sea that were hit by waves and made a sound like beating drums.

The island's coastline is winding and winding, surrounded by natural bathing beaches with gentle slopes and fine sand, and the uncanny reefs are unique and interesting.

The island is lush with trees, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and buildings of various styles are well preserved on Gulangyu Island. Therefore, it is known as the "Architecture Expo of All Nations".

Travel tips: Be sure to wear sunscreen. The sun is very fierce there, so it’s best to avoid midday and go out early in the morning or at dusk.

Also, it is easy to get angry in Xiamen. I highly recommend the herbal tea from the local Guanghua Pharmacy. The herbal tea is brewed by the pharmacy itself every day. It contains licorice and can reduce internal heat. It is recommended that you bring an empty bottle, fill it and drink it.

Nanputuo Temple Nanputuo Temple is located under the Wulao Peak in the south of Xiamen Island.

Founded in the Tang Dynasty, it is one of the Buddhist resorts in southern Fujian.

The Tianwang Hall, the Main Hall and the Great Compassion Hall in the temple are beautifully constructed and majestic. Each hall is dedicated to Maitreya, the Third Buddha, the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Eighteen Arhats, etc.

The Sutra Pavilion has a rich collection of Buddhist cultural relics, including classics, Buddha statues, bronze bells from the Song Dynasty, ancient books, etc. The "Lotus Sutra of Wonderful Dharma" written in blood during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and the famous white porcelain Guanyin of the He Dynasty are the most valuable.

There are many inscriptions preserved around the temple, including the famous stone inscriptions by Chen Di and Shen Yourong of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and the imperial stele made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

The stone carving with the word "Buddha" on the cliff behind the temple is four feet high and one foot wide.

Behind the temple, there are five peaks standing on the screen, green pines and bamboos, and beautiful rocks and ravines. It is called "Five Lao Lingxiao" and is one of the eight scenic spots in Xiamen.

Xiamen University Xiamen University was founded in 1921 by Mr. Tan Kah Kee, a famous patriotic overseas Chinese leader who was praised by Comrade Mao Zedong as “the flag of overseas Chinese and the glory of the nation.” It is the first university founded by overseas Chinese in the history of modern education in China.

Built in 1924, it is surrounded by mountains and sea, with Nanputuo Temple on one side and the seaside and Huli Mountain Fort on the other.

The campus is very beautiful, with scenic spots such as Furong Lake and Lover's Valley Reservoir. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic, so it is said that "Love is at Xiamen University."

Most of the old buildings of Xiamen University were built by the son-in-law of Mr. Tan Kah Kee. They have clear walls and glazed roofs and are very distinctive. They are often referred to as "wearing suits and hats" (a metaphor for combining Chinese and Western architectural styles), especially the Jiannan Auditorium and the Winding Hall.

, quite magnificent.

The study and life scenes of students and monks constitute a unique world view on the Xiamen University campus and its surrounding areas, which cannot be seen elsewhere.

Hulishan Fort Hulishan Fort is located on the coast of Huli Mountain in the southwest of Xiamen Island. It was built in the 17th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1891). It took five years to build the fort.

The foundation of the village wall is made of camphor tree sap, lime, glutinous rice and sand. The most famous thing on the fort is a huge cannon purchased from the Krupp Arsenal in Germany at that time. It is still well preserved and has an effective range of up to 6460 meters.

, it cost 50,000 taels of silver to buy.

The gun also hit an invading Japanese warship in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.

In September 1997, the Rongguang Treasure Museum was established at Hulishan Fort. A small cannon on display was made by the Portuguese in the 13th century. It is 11 cm long, weighs 0.22 kg, and 2.4 cm in diameter. It is the smallest cannon in the world.

.

In this way, Hulishan Fort has two of the largest and smallest cannons in the world today.

Gulangyu Island Huandao Road Huandao Road was newly opened in 1987. It starts from the Ferry Square, passes through the main gardens, and returns to the Ferry Square from the west, completing a tour around the island.

It is not only a scene of its own, but also allows tourists to appreciate the magnificence of the blue sky and blue sea while browsing the natural scenery of the island. It also connects many scenic spots on the island into one, bringing tourists ever-changing scenery and endless reverie.
