If you want to save money, take the train for transportation, stay in a family hotel, buy tickets in a group, and do as little shopping as possible. I have been in Xiamen for many years. I can give you a four-day travel route for the first day and a day on the Gulangyu Island beach in Xiamen.

Tour (including attractions: Nanputuo Temple + Xiamen University + Huli Mountain Fort + Gulangyu Island + Shuzhuang Garden) Day 2, Jimei Dadeng off Xiamen Island day trip (Dadeng Island is known as the most beautiful island in Xiamen) Day 3, Xiamen

Surrounding tours: For example, one-day tour to Yongding Tulou (World Cultural Heritage), two-day tour to Nanjing Tulou + Yunshuiyao. You can also travel separately. It depends on which Tulou you want to go to for the fourth day, and Zhongshan Road (a famous pedestrian street in Xiamen)

Go shopping, there is a food street nearby, and it’s good to eat special snacks. If necessary, you can also buy some specialties to give to relatives and friends. It’s great to go cycling on the beach in the rest of the time. The scenery is beautiful. I don’t know what you think.

When the time comes, the sea breeze may be a bit strong in winter.

If you are not familiar with the route mentioned above, you can consider joining a group tour. It is not expensive to buy online group tours in Xiamen, and each item is less than 100.

I can introduce one I bought for your reference, called Sesame Street Group Buying Network. They are a local tourist accommodation and food, drink and entertainment company in Xiamen. I have been to the Tulou I mentioned above and bought it online from them. The price is

It's quite cheap, and the service is okay. I bought it for 98 yuan per person at that time, which was the lowest price in the country, and the cost was all-inclusive. I don't know what's going on now. If you're interested, you can go and have a look. By the way, see if there's anything suitable.

As for hotels, there are many hotels in Zengcuo'an, Xiamen, and they are also close to the seaside. Don't stay in Gulangyu Island. They are very expensive and inconvenient to go out at night.
