Speaking of it, Bian Xiao went to Xiamen for the first time. After going to Xiamen, I will feel that the environment here is really good. Bian Xiao also found their cafe in Chu Xun. Unfortunately, I didn't go to Xiamen University.
introduction to scenic spots
Xiamen is divided into five administrative regions, namely Siming District and Huli District, Haicang District, jimei district, Xiang 'an District and Tong 'an District.
For people who only have a 3-4-day trip, it is not recommended to go to scenic spots outside the island because they need to spend a lot of time in the car. Instead, it is better to enjoy the sea breeze in summer or the sunshine in the afternoon in winter quietly on the beach of the island.
here are all the scenic spots on the island that I introduced to you.
1. Gulangyu
Known as the "sea garden", it also has a romantic mood. The round-trip route to and from the island is 35 yuan/person. Visitors can only go to the island by boat at the "Cruise Center Pier" in Du Dong.
There are also additional scenic spots on the island, namely 6 yuan/person in Sunlight Rock, 3 yuan/person in Pi Manor including Piano Museum, 15 yuan/person in Hao Yueyuan, 2 yuan/person in Organ Museum and 1 yuan/person in International Printmaking Museum. You can choose for yourself.
2. Zhongshan Road
Built in 1925, it is the same old pedestrian street as Jianghan Road in Wuhan and Nanjing Road in Shanghai. All the buildings are arcades with a strong Nanyang style.
There are many cultural relics and historic sites, including Xiaozouma Road, Chen Huacheng's former residence, the First Temple of China, Jiangxia Guild Hall, snack street in Taiwan Province Province, various specialty shops and art shops.
Gulangyu is across the sea, but the ferry pier here is only open to locals.
3. Xiamen University
Xiamen University is one of the most beautiful universities in China. The most important scenic spot is Furong Road. On both sides of the tunnel are graffiti art left by students, full of youthful and romantic feelings. But it should be arranged at the end, because after visiting the tunnel, it will go straight out of the school!
You need to use your ID card to enter the campus. The specific opening hours are as follows:
From Monday to Friday, from 12: to 14: noon, 7 people are restricted at the entrance of Da Nan School and 3 people are restricted at the entrance of West School (Qunxian School).
after 17: noon from Monday to Friday, there is no limit to the number of people.
it is open all day from Saturday to Sunday.
4. Nanputuo Temple
The must-see place in Xiamen is behind Xiamen University. Climbing to the top of Nanputuo Temple, you can see the whole Xiamen University and the distant sea view. The scenery is pleasant. You can feel a strong religious atmosphere in Nanputuo City, and you can buy the authentic and famous specialty "Nanputuo Plain Cake" and a box of 1-2 yuan. You don't need tickets to enter Nanputuo Temple.
5. Xiamen Botanical Garden
is close to Xiamen University and Nanputuo Temple, and is a core tourist attraction. There are all kinds of subtropical plants, many kinds, which can be played all day. The most worth seeing are desert flora and rainforest world. The famous scenic spots in the park are Taiping Shixiao, Shiwan Hancui and Tianjie Temple.

6. Island Road
is known as "the most beautiful marathon track in the world", and the coast from Xiamen University to the convention and exhibition center is called "golden coastline". Riding a single and double car around the island road is undoubtedly the best choice, and all the scenic spots along the way can rent a car and return it. You can also choose to walk on the sidewalk around the island, listen to the sound of the waves and enjoy the sea breeze.
The scenic spots along the golden coastline, starting from Xiamen University, are Baicheng-Hu Lishan Fort-pearl bay-Calligraphy Square-Zengcuo Village-Music Square-Yefengzhai-Exhibition Center. At the same time, you can choose to eat local snacks in Zengcuo Village.

Xiamen North Railway Station is located in jimei district, relatively in the center. It takes about 4 minutes to get to the railway station in the center of the island by BRT. Specifically, the BRT from North Railway Station passes through the station. Look at the "city traffic" in the back.

Accommodation strategy
Go to Xiamen. For young people, what we need is to feel her literary and romantic feelings, so try not to stay in hotels, which will make us lose the meaning of traveling to Xiamen.
below, I made a simple ranking of the accommodation in several areas and drew the range. Beyond this range, although in this area, it is inconvenient to travel.
1. Zeng CuO 'an Village
Xiamen is the first choice for tourist accommodation. Living here across the street from the beach is also convenient for traveling around the island. In Zengcuo Village, you can stay in a romantic inn, visit various specialty shops and eat various local snacks. Watch the sunrise in the morning, blow the sea breeze at night and eat seafood supper. This is undoubtedly the best accommodation choice. Compared with Gulangyu Island with the same experience, the cost here is more cost-effective.
transportation: it's convenient to live here. You can take the tourist bus to the cruise center pier (the pier where tourists go to Gulangyu), Zhongshan Road and Xiamen University, which are located at the Tianqiao Bridge in Zengcuo Village. Fee 5-1 yuan. At the same time, there are many bus lines to the above scenic spots, and the airport express line to the airport also departs from here.
Accommodation cost: the average price is 18-3 yuan.
tip: you'd better book this position online in advance. When you arrive in Zengcuo _ village, you can call the innkeeper, who will take you to the inn.
Accommodation:
2. South Gate of Xiamen University
The hotels here are mainly express hotels, lacking the literary atmosphere of Zengcuo Village. It is about 1.5 kilometers from here to Baicheng, Xiamen University by the sea (you can take 2 bus stops) and about 75 meters from the observation deck of the famous Yanwu Bridge. Xiamen University, Nanputuo and Botanical Garden are all near here. Except for the plants, the other two are within walking distance.
transportation: 1
3. Zhongshan Road
Similarly, in Zhongshan Road, we mainly stay in express hotels and guesthouses. However, if you live here, you can visit Centennial Pedestrian Street, eat delicious food in Taiwan Province Snack Street, buy various specialties and visit famous shops. You can also enjoy the beautiful night view of Gulangyu Island when the sea breeze blows at night. In addition, it is relatively close from Zhongshan Road to Xiamen Botanical Garden (Huyuan Road).
Transportation: Zhongshan Road is very convenient, and you can quickly reach the cruise center, Xiamen University, Zengcuo Village and other scenic spots. There are tour buses and airport express lines. The coach gets on and off at the ferry (near Lujiang Hotel), and the airport express gets on and off at Chunguang Hotel.
Accommodation cost: the average price is 23-35 yuan.
Accommodation:
4. Near the first phase of pearl bay
Software Park, it is mainly a folk inn, close to pearl bay Beach, which is one of the beaches frequented by tourists. The accommodation is about 35 meters away from pearl bay, so you need to enter at the fork of the main road around the island. Accommodation here is more economical than other recommended places. Accommodation conditions and styles are the same as those in Zengcuo _ Village, which is also literary and artistic, more like a small fishing village by the sea.
transportation: take the bus at pearl bay bus station. Compared with Zengcuo Village and Zhongshan Road, there are no tourist buses and airport express lines here, only buses, but it is also very convenient to go to the main attractions, and you can go directly.
Accommodation cost: the average price is 12-2 yuan.
Accommodation:
From 21 to 21, there were many special snacks in Xiamen, such as Satie noodles, fried oysters, spiced shrimp noodles, meat dumplings, duck porridge, frozen bamboo shoots, vegetarian cakes, spicy food and various seafood. I won't introduce these in detail here. When you come to Xiamen, remember to eat these special foods, and you will have no regrets.
There are three places where tourists eat these special snacks: Zengcuo Village, Zhongshan Road (including Taiwan Province Snack Street) and Gulangyu Island.
here, I recommend some famous shops with distinctive features.
Small glasses food stall (eating seafood): about 85 per capita.
Zehe Peanut Soup Shop: No.22-24, Zhongshan Road, Siming District (opposite to KFC)
Zhang Sanfeng Milk Tea Shop: No.266, Longtou Road, Gulangyu Island (near the street park)
98 Barbecued pork bun: No.353, Zhongshan Road (near the former site of Workers' Cultural Palace)
Lujiang Hotel Viewing Hall: 7th floor, Lujiang Hotel, No.54 Lujiang Road <
Fried lotus oysters: No.1, Jukou Heng Lane, Jukou Street, Zhongshan Road
Ma Ye 'an: Corner of Longtou Road, Gulangyu Scenic Area
Mother-in-law cooks grass: No.144, Longtou Road (near the Longtou Farmers' Market in Gulangyu Island)
Food Raiders
As a place that people who come to Xiamen will strongly recommend, as a food gathering place (Little Paradise) and a Nanyang style. If you are a foodie, I want to tell you! There are three snack centers on Zhongshan Road: the first one is an alley next to the entrance of Zhongshan Road (opposite the pier to Gulangyu Island), which is dominated by seafood stalls. The second one is to walk along the main road, in the direction of Hucheng. There will be a short walk to concentrate on baking. If you like these, don't miss them. The third one focused in bold is on the first floor of Chinatown, the main road. A new snack city has been opened, where there are meals and snacks. The price hits the nail on the head and is quite close to the people. I don't know what special snacks to eat. You can come here if you want to eat enough. Of course, I've thought about it for you. If you don't like snacks, Haidilao is opposite the snack city, hahaha. China City and Tiger City are not far away, and there are other kinds of restaurants. Eat it, just like when you went to Wanda! Highlight snack recommendation: Huang Ze and Peanut Soup (at the intersection), Yang Xiaoxian noodle ice (a hidden elevator), a proud fried tenderloin shop (Bian Xiao forgot the name, there are always many people waiting in line, if you want to drink, you can try koi fish (in Chinatown). Because I am a midnight snack stall, I took a 1-1 day midnight snack route with my friends, which takes about 1 hour. The most beautiful university-Xiamen University (8.14-9.11, closed to tourists)
Zhongshan Road
Strong reminder: if you want to come to Xiamen University, watch the following opening hours: 12 -14 noon and 5: 3 pm. If you want to go to Xiamen University directly to Baicheng Beach, you can ask. There is a road leading to the seaside at the fork of Furong Tunnel. At other times, I suggest you go to the nearby scenic spots recommended by Bian Xiao. There are two four fruit soup houses on Mao Jie Street and Mao Jie Street in Shapowei. One is my aunt's and the other is my uncle's. If you want some ice, go to your aunt to buy it, and if you want some water, go to your uncle. Personally, I prefer my aunt's. (You can have water or ice)
This uncle has many dessert shops in Shapowei, four fruit soup. It is not pleasant to take a walk and sit down for afternoon tea.
Xiamen university
hulishan fortress. They are very close to each other. Go along the island road. There will be aunts selling mangoes by the roadside, which are usually very sweet, 1 yuan each, not bad. Shimao Mansion (just above, not to mention)
Hulishan Fort
Zengcuo _ Village and Huangcuo regret to tell you that if you want to see the beach and eat snacks, you can only go to Zengcuo _ Village. Huangcuo village is being rebuilt now, and the scenery is no longer there. However, you can watch the sunrise at Huangcuo seaside, but others can't. If you want to experience it, you can come here if you don't like noise.
Huangcuo waterfront is clean, long and beautiful. These are two pictures I took casually. Huangcuo village is relatively quiet, and the price of hotels with sea views nearby is ok, around 5. It is very pleasant to ride a bike in Zengcuo Village.
if you eat in zengcuo _ village, it is good to have fun (of course, the price is slightly lower), but you must pay attention to freshness and taste. It is said that Class Two, Grade Three is not bad. You can have a try. If you want to experience the life of petty bourgeoisie, you can feel it.
