Is 1,000 a budget for 5 days for one of you, or for two people?

If it's for two people.

There's no way to play.

The accommodation is in Datou.

D1, the train arrives.

Take the bus directly to the ferry station.

Spend 8 yuan to buy a round-trip ferry ticket (Didi card) to Gulangyu Island and stay overnight on Gulangyu Island.

D2, Gulangyu Island.

There is no need to enter attractions that require tickets.

Buy a hand-drawn map of Gulangyu Island for 10 yuan, climb mountains, play in the sea, and see old houses.

I remember some snacks on Baidu Longtou Road.

Let me emphasize that Zhang Sanfeng's milk tea, BABYCAT's pie, and Miss Zhao's shop are the three major poisons of Gulangyu Island. They are very popular on the Internet, and they are all expensive and unrealistic things.

None of the locals eat it.

The milk tea made with milk powder sells for 25 yuan, and the pie sold under the OEM label from another factory is advertised as handmade.

D3, leave Gulangyu Island and live in Zengcuo’an or Xiamen University West Village.

There are many small hotels for literary and artistic youth in Zengcuo'an.

You can play at the beach near Zengcuo'an, there are wooden planks, and ride bicycles.

In the afternoon, when the weather is the hottest, I took the bus to the ferry station and ate Xiamen snacks near Zhongshan Road.

The delicious snack bar, Yuehua Sha Tea Noodles, Lianhuan Sea Oyster Omelette, and Ba Po Po are added to the delicious food.

.

You can search these on Baidu, they are worth eating, they are delicious and cheap.

Much more cost-effective than those from Zhang Sanfeng.

D4, it is recommended to take a one-day trip to see the earth buildings in Nanjing, Zhangzhou or Yongding, Longyan.

The one-day tour prices are all less than 200. You still have to stay in Xiamen Island.

D5, take the train back.
