I took a trip to Xiamen during the Qingming Festival, and I gained a lot. The previous article complained about the truth that ordinary Xiamen travel guides would not tell us. This article will tell you what minefields can be avoided.
Huli Mountain is 25.2 meters above sea level. It has experienced more than 100 years of ups and downs. It is connected to Baicheng Beach. On the other side of the beach is the beautiful Yanwu Bridge. The Yanwu Bridge surrounds the twin towers of Xiamen's coordinate buildings.
To tell the truth: There is not much to see in Hulishan Fort. Apart from its historical significance, the biggest attraction is watching the sea from the fort.
There is also the famous Sunlight Rock, which is not much to see. People say, "If you haven't gone to Sunlight Rock, you haven't arrived in Xiamen." In fact, the biggest gimmick is to climb up and see Kinmen Island on the opposite side.
Don't believe that you can see Taiwan. Are you clairvoyant?
The reality is that this is a famous snack street that has been mentioned thousands of times by netizens. I went there during the Qingming Festival in 2017 and said that it was being renovated. The main streets and side streets were being renovated. Not to mention snacks, there were all shopping malls and department stores selling clothes.
It's closed. If you want to go there on May Day, you can make up your own mind.
The pictures of the decoration are too dull, and I didn’t take any photos of Huandao Road, which is the main track of the Xiamen Marathon and is also known as the most beautiful marathon track in the world. Almost all guides recommend tourists to go for a walk on Huandao Road, rent a car and ride a bike, and also introduce
Renting a car can be a group purchase, which will be much more cost-effective.
***Bicycle sharing: Now you really don’t need to rent a bicycle when you go to Xiamen. You can ride Mobike. Mobikes are everywhere. You can ride as you go without having to go to a fixed location to return it. I really feel ***bike sharing is here.
Planting in scenic spots is a wise decision.
After a day of shopping in Xiamen, you may get tired of aesthetics. The seaside plank road, the beach and the sea, the red flowers and green willows, the Ring Road, which is highly recommended in the guide, may not have so many surprises. There is another correct way to open it, go for a morning run on the beach.
Morning jogging is highly recommended: after you have had enough of the smog in Beijing, Xiamen is simply paradise, and the beach and ring road at five or six o'clock are the real beauty.
The most satisfying part of this trip: Golden Beach: We stayed in a B&B in Tatou. We went out from Huandao Road and walked to the seaside to Golden Beach. It felt better than Baicheng Beach. Maybe it was because there were fewer people in the morning. Let’s feel it.
Of course, Gulangyu International Architecture Expo is something that no one wants to miss. When I made a guide before, I learned about the "Japanese Consulate", "British Club", "Bagua Building" and so on.
But I never thought that the International Architecture Expo is not an attraction. Tell me, I am not the only one who has been there but never thought it was an attraction. It includes Bagua Tower, Piano Museum, Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall and many other building complexes.
I have been looking for Wanguo Architecture so much that I am confused. You can even find the toilet there in the map navigation, but I can't find the Wanguo Architecture Expo. I feel sorry for myself and buy a hand-drawn map: It is easy to buy a hand-drawn map of Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, or even go to the island.
They are sold on the roadside. If you really can’t find a place to buy a map, you can go to Xinhua Bookstore on Longtou Road to buy one. They are marked on the map.
Whether you believe in evil or not, it is strongly recommended to buy a hand-drawn map, because there are too many side roads in the tourist area, and you will definitely get lost if you don't have a good sense of direction. Don't ask me why I feel so deeply.
