1. The two trains are k232/k229 and k297/k300. They both take the train at Guangzhou East Railway Station. K232/k229 is from Kunming to Xiamen and passes through Guangzhou on the way. K297/k300 is from Guangzhou to Xiamen.
I have been to Guangzhou once and took the k232/k229 back and forth. Because this train does not originate from Guangzhou, it is cheaper than the k297/k300. The sleeper berth costs more than 100, while the k297/k300 costs more than 200.
The departure times are almost the same. K232/k229 departs at 19:22 and arrives at the station at 9:27 the next day. K297/k300 departs at 19:08 and arrives at the station at 8:48 the next day.
2. I think it’s best to spend three days, one day on Gulangyu Island, one day on Huandao Road, and one day for shopping. If you have good physical strength, you can also squeeze it into two days. Go to Gulangyu Island during the day and come back to Zhongshan Street opposite the pier for shopping.
There is "Huang Zehe" which is a specialty snack in Xiamen. Oyster pancakes, taro buns, and peanut soup are all delicious. If you want to eat Sha Cha Noodles, I recommend you to eat Lakeside Sili Sha Cha Noodles. It is very authentic. You can take the bus to Lianban Station.
, a taxi only costs 8 yuan; the time-honored Wu Zaitian (now renamed: Jiawei Zaitian) snack bar on Datong Road is very famous. Many Xiamen snacks can be found here, and they are very authentic. I personally recommend the meat rice dumplings.
; The Huandao Road can be played from the exhibition side. Along the Huandao Road, there are many scenic spots along the way, including Yefengzhai (where there are amusement facilities, a strawberry garden, and bicycles for two or three people), Pearl Bay, and Baicheng Beach of Xiamen University
,; Next, you can go around Xiamen University, I personally think Xiamen University is very beautiful; I heard that Yuan Boyuan is not bad, but the tickets seem to be more expensive, in my memory it seems to be 60 yuan per person; for shopping, Zhongshan Street, there are many along the way
For sculptures, there are Korean clothes sold on Hexiang West Road, which are more expensive. Everything in Xiamen is more expensive, and there are far less shopping places than in Guangzhou!
