As a well-known tourist city in China, Xiamen does have many scenic spots worth visiting. At the same time, there are many snacks with Minnan flavor in Xiamen, which can make people experience the authentic ancient taste.
Let's talk about the scenic spots in Xiamen first. The first recommendation is Xiamen University. Known as one of the most beautiful universities in China, Xiamen University is really a beautiful place, which combines humanistic atmosphere with natural scenery. There is a well-known Furong Tunnel in Xiamen University, as well as a magnificent winding field, lover's valley, human museum and so on, all of which can be visited together. Outside the main entrance, there are Dingwozai, Shapowei and the Twin Towers nearby, which are also very beautiful places. You can experience Xiamen on the cloud in the Twin Towers, and it is also a very good experience to stand in a tall building and look at Xiamen.
followed by Zhongshan street. This is a bustling commercial street, and the buildings are all white arcades, which is very charming. There are many shopping malls and art shops on Zhongshan Road, which are suitable for leisure shopping or taking photos.
Finally, you can go to Zeng Cuo An Village or Huangcuo to see the sea for accommodation and experience the homestay style. Zeng Cuo An Village is a snack street, which sells all kinds of snacks, as well as literary shops and bars selling postcards. It is worth mentioning that there is always something you like about the B&B Inn in Zeng Cuo An Village, all kinds of sea view rooms, courtyards with strong literary flavor and unique decoration themes.
As for food, Satay Noodles, taro buns, meat dumplings, batter, pan-fried cakes, fried oysters and so on are the unique Minnan cuisine in Xiamen. Shops selling these snacks are all over the street, and I have only eaten a few. Recommend taro buns near Shapo Wei, where taro buns and meat dumplings are delicious. There is also a pastry shop called Ajizai, which is on the other side of Bashi. It is worth noting that this store has two storefronts, one is for tourists, and the cakes sold in it are all packaged in gift boxes, and the price will be higher accordingly. The other store is a small window where many locals buy simple cakes. Finally, I strongly recommend a summer dessert, four fruit soup. Drinking a bowl of four fruit soup in hot and humid summer is really a very enjoyable thing.
