this is what I answered others before.
After arriving, I will go to Jimei Xuecun
1, Jimei Xuecun
2, Zhongshan Road (food and shopping)
3, Gulangyu Island
4, Huandao Road (Convention and Exhibition Center, Yefengzhai, pearl bay and Guanyin Mountain)
5.
I suggest you don't go to the seaside, which may be a little expensive. Because there is BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) in Xiamen, you can choose to live near a relatively large station, for example, a hotel on the 7th is only a few tens of dollars. It is also convenient and fast to travel by BRT. BRT stations (such as Shuangshi Middle School, Jiageng Gymnasium, Xiamen Railway Station, Mingfa Commercial Plaza and No.1 Pier)
eat a lot, not to mention Zhongshan Road and Gulangyu seafood, and there are many self-service barbecues near the railway station. The Balen hot pot on Haitian Road in Huli is affordable and delicious, with Chongqing flavor and 3 yuan/person.
