Let me briefly talk about my personal views on the pros and cons of Xiamen’s tourism industry. The off-season has come recently, and I am free to think about things at home.

Hehehe, what I am talking about may not be the advantages and disadvantages of Xiamen tourism, but may be a common phenomenon in the national tourism industry.

This is why I often reply to self-guided tour customers on Baidu to help them solve self-guided tour problems.

1. Travel agencies charge zero tour fees and operate with negative tour fees, which leads to the dilemma of tourists having to shop.

Tour guides must find ways to take customers shopping and support their families.

Hahaha 2. Most Chinese people are greedy for petty gains. Haha, what I said is true.

With zero group fees, itineraries with negative group fees have attracted so many tourists who feel that they are getting a big deal.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the quality of travel service will decline, and guests will complain again and again.

3. Overall, Xiamen’s tourism industry is doing well. Tour guide service quality ranks among the top, with fewer complaints and shorter distances between attractions.

The price of the scenic spot is reasonable, the environment is superior, and Xiamen people are enthusiastic.

All create a good tourism environment.

I did a brief analysis, but it’s not very thorough, haha. Can you please accept it?

Thank you. What tourist attractions are there in Xiamen?

As a native of Gulangyu Island, I have to say with shame that there are still many cheating attractions in Xiamen, especially those that are well-known. Here are a few to avoid mistakes.

Of course, if it's your first time here, you have to step in.

1. Sunlight Rock: The entrance fee is 60. There is really nothing to see. It is just a stone. In addition, the space on the stone is very limited. When there are many tourists, there are actually many unsafe factors.

A group of people crowded at the top to enjoy the scenery, but in fact they only saw a patch of rooftops and trees. There are not many remaining characteristic old buildings.

If you must go up, it is recommended to stay one night on Gulangyu Island and reach the top before 7:30 in the morning. There are few people and you can still feel good about watching. By noon, it is really hot and crowded.

2. Garden Expo: The entrance fee is also 60. It is located in Jimei and covers an extremely large area. If you divide the entrance fee by the area, it is a good deal.

But the key is that there is nothing to see. You can only walk on your legs, and you have to pay extra for battery cars.

Although the flowers are changed according to different seasons, the varieties and distribution are scattered, and there is no beautiful landscape.

It was quite exhausting to walk, it would take most of the day, and there was no place to eat inside.

3. Snack Street in Zengcuo: Zengcuo is known as the most artistic fishing village, but in fact, it has not been artistic at all in recent years.

It is filled with a strong commercial atmosphere, with pungent oil fumes and barbecues everywhere, souvenirs all over the street, free shipping on pies, and various souvenirs of the same type produced in Yiwu.

4. Zhongshan Road: Nowadays, it has been renovated in a nondescript manner. The exterior walls are neither new nor old, and the arcade style has completely disappeared. The items sold are all homogeneous souvenirs. It is really speechless.

Of course, everyone has a different experience of tourism and will have different opinions. We welcome mutual discussion.

Many friends often ask me, how are the things sold in Xiamen?

Is it great to rip off customers on Gulangyu Island?

How to choose seafood?

Are the specialties you sell good?

What's the price?

Where can I buy Xiamen specialties with better quality assurance?

So I decided to summarize the consumption traps that you need to pay attention to when traveling to Xiamen for shopping, dining and travel, as a reference for everyone: Gulangyu, the place where I grew up, has many beautiful memories for me, even though these memories have been filled with row upon row of shops.

The cries of eardrums gradually disappeared, but they still could not be erased.

I can tell you responsibly: the residents of Gulangyu Island are hospitable, honest and honest.

But today, with the disguised development of the tourism economy, Gulangyu Island is no longer so like the Gulangyu Island in childhood.

So, for the safety of everyone’s wallets, please be sure to read this article carefully. I wish you all a pleasant shopping experience in Xiamen.

Zeng Cuo_.

Reason: In the eyes of us locals, it is just an urban village, a coastal fishing village.

It was later developed by a business team and turned into a neighborhood with a strong commercial atmosphere.

Xiamen Consumption Trap Part 1 - Specialty Specialties from Taiwan: Dadeng Island is promoted as Taiwan’s duty-free island, but in fact locals don’t go there and there are many who rip off customers.

Moreover, most of the Taiwanese cigarettes sold are produced in Yunxiao, Fujian.

.

.

If you want to buy Taiwanese specialties, it is recommended to go to a regular specialty store. Those that go through customs and pay customs duties are all genuine.

Don't think about buying the so-called "smuggled" bargains. You are often the one who suffers.

Gulangyu Tea: Remember, Xiamen does not produce tea!

Buy tea on Gulangyu Island. The tea there is only for tourists, and the quality is low and the price is high.

I haven't tried it, but I guess it won't be any different from the loose tea I buy myself.

The selling point is that the packaging is very exquisite, and the store decoration is very artistic. It's just a matter of willingness to fight. I'm in Xiamen now. I eat at 1980 and think it's better, but don't go to Gulangyu to eat there, just the one on Zhongshan Road, because it's cheaper.

You don’t need to go to the other ones like Zhang Sanfeng Milk Tea and Ba Popo’s Burnt Fairy Grass, they are not delicious.
