Xiamen is a dreamy coastal city with a comfortable climate, abundant sunshine and high green plant coverage.
It is simply a fairy tale world.
Xiamen has the world-famous Gulangyu Island and Xiamen University, an institution of higher learning.
Everything here illustrates the need for the modernization and development of Chinese cities.
Here I would like to share with you a detailed travel guide for free travel in Xiamen.
I don’t know when I started to have a special yearning for Xiamen and a mysterious pursuit of Gulangyu Island.
I remember watching "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" when I was a kid. I saw how beautiful the Alliston Business School was, so I checked it online and found out it was Xiamen University.
I thought it would be good to study there, but it didn’t happen.
The best route for a one-day trip to Xiamen: Xiamen Zhongshan Road-Zengcuo Village-Xiamen Garden and Botanical Garden-Cat Museum-Nan Putuo Temple-Xiamen University-Gulangyu Many TV series were filmed near Xiamen University, Music Square and Zengcuo Village
.
This makes me want to go to Xiamen, a beautiful island.
Since I work in Wenzhou, which is not far from Xiamen, this gives me a great opportunity to go to Xiamen.
In late August, I started making preparations for going to Xiamen.
Because I plan to go during the National Day holiday, I have to book my air tickets, boat tickets, accommodation and travel guide in advance.
The Golden Week of National Day every year is the peak period for crowds.
If you don’t want to live on the street, prepare everything in advance.
Enjoy playing.
In early September, the wine was fully booked.
Two nights near Zhongshan Street and two nights on Gulangyu Island.
Although there is still a month until the National Day, there are almost no hotels.
I want to book a romantic hotel in Gulangyu Island.
Fortunately, I made a reservation, otherwise I would really have to camp on the beach (I will definitely camp next time)!
In order to avoid traffic, we booked our tickets two days in advance, scheduled for 9.28!
We bought a stamped book in advance (you can buy it online in advance for 20 yuan. I think the most meaningful thing to do in Xiamen is where to go and where to get it stamped). We also got a map and a food guide as a gift, which was very helpful to us.
Planning a route is great.
Preparation before departure for Printed Atlas - Clothes: It is best to bring two skirts, because Xiamen is a place where you can take pictures of literature and art no matter where you go.
Hat: Bring a straw hat because it’s still hot at 11 o’clock.
A concave shape is always desirable even if not required.
Spray, sunscreen, sunglasses, selfie stick.
Bring a pair of comfortable shoes as there is no transportation on Gulangyu Island.
The pride of Xiamen people - Zhongshan Road. Because the first hotel we stayed in - Formosa Hotel was near Zhongshan Road in Siming District, the first stop was to go to Zhongshan Road.
Zhongshan Road is the oldest commercial street in Xiamen.
The place is crowded with people, has a wide variety of goods, and is famous far and wide.
No matter in the past or today, when people talk about Xiamen, they always talk about Zhongshan Road, like Manhattan in New York, Ginza in Tokyo, and Central in Hong Kong.
Transportation guide: Passengers can take the following bus lines such as Xiamen No. 1, Xiamen No. 20, Xiamen No. 22, and Xiamen No. 45, and get off at Chinatown Station.
When visiting Xiamen, Zhongshan Road is a must-see because it represents Xiamen’s prosperity, affluence and the rhythm of the times.
Here you can enjoy the rich material world and appreciate the modern style.
Zhongshan Road is the old city of Xiamen, which has preserved relatively complete modern historical features, including a small walking road, Chen Huacheng's former residence, the First Chinese Temple and many other cultural monuments.
Nanyang's arcade buildings, colorful LED night views, a dazzling array of Fujian and Taiwan specialty snacks, and the ancient Nanyang music echoing in the alleys and neighborhoods make up its unique style.
In addition to the commercial atmosphere, Zhongshan Road is also full of artistic atmosphere, and the shop signs here also have their own charm.
The writings of great men and masters of a generation, such as the "Xinhua Bookstore" written by Mao Zedong, the "Fairy Hotel" written by the famous calligrapher Luo Dan, and the "Guanghua Pharmacy" written by the city's calligrapher Chen Meixiang, are really talented and talented.
For tourists at home and abroad, it is the unique cultural landscape of Xiamen, the "city of art".
Zhongshan Road is 1198 meters long and 15 meters wide.
It was shopping and taking photos from beginning to end.
There are many shops here, and you can taste delicious pineapple cakes and nougat wherever you go.
How can you go to Xiamen without eating satay noodles?
We went to Huang Zehe Peanut Soup Store, a century-old store that is famous at home and abroad.
The peanut soup here is thick but not astringent, sweet but not greasy.
Fried seafood, satay noodles, moon cakes, pies, rice cakes and other foods are all delicious.
My friend and I ordered a crab roe bun, which was really delicious.
I didn't get back to the hotel until very late.
There are many small shops and I want to buy many things.
Because I was going to Gulangyu Island, I didn’t buy it.
I plan to go to Gulangyu Island to buy again.
The pineapple cake here is so delicious!
