Traffic articles

Intercity traffic

1. Airplane. There is an airport bus from Gao Qi Airport to downtown, about 2 yuan. Very convenient. And you can walk around the island and enjoy the scenery along the way.

2. High-speed rail. There are two stations in Xiamen, one is Xiamen North and the other is Xiamen Station. Xiamen North is outside the island, and there is a tourist through train to the city. It is more convenient for Xiamen to stand on the island.

urban transportation

1. Public transportation. You can scan the S traffic card on Alipay, or pay attention to the S code scanning of WeChat official account.

2. Bus rapid transit system. The BRT in Xiamen is quite special. It is not the same price as the bus, and there is no dedicated lane. Some BRT fares are 6-7 yuan, and some BRT fares are more expensive in 15 yuan, so if there are too many people, you'd better take a taxi.

3. Bicycle. There are many bicycles near Huandao Road, and there is a special bicycle lane on Huandao Road, where you can visit Huandao Road by bike. Driving in the reverse direction around the island, without police control, may be acquiesced to drive in the reverse direction.

4. Take a taxi. Try to take a taxi and ask for a taxi or a promotion. Many taxis stop by the side of the road, ask where you are going, and then recommend where to play. Tourists will find you a travel agency when they feel better, and then there will be a one-day charter flight in the travel society.

5. the subway. Xiamen metro Line 1 is famous for crossing the sea, just like Spirited Away. If you go to North Station, you can choose to take Line 1 and experience the feeling of crossing the sea. If you want to see the subway crossing the sea, you can watch it on the Xiamen Bridge.

Accommodation supplies

Let's talk about host families in Xiamen. There are several gathering places, one is Zengcuo Village, the other is Huangcuo, and the third is Gulangyu Island.

zengcuo _ village has convenient transportation, direct airport bus and many homestays. However, the homestay here can't see the sea, and it may be a little noisy at night. The price is not expensive either.

Huang CuO, there is a beach when you go out, but it is far from the scenic spots.

Gulangyu, the landlord even suggested staying on Gulangyu for one night, if the trip is not urgent. Gulangyu Island has the best environment, unlike Zengcuo Village, which is a commercial gathering area. The price on Gulangyu Island will be more expensive.

American host families in Xiamen have a disadvantage. Few of them bring breakfast. I wonder if it has something to do with their living habits. The landlord likes B&Bs in Hangzhou very much. One of the things is that most B&Bs in Hangzhou bring breakfast, which is delicious and expensive.

food

first of all, Xiamen cuisine is not suitable for everyone's taste. The landlord prefers the taste of southwest or hangzhou dishes, but he is not used to eating in Xiamen. I heard that there are many snacks in Xiamen, much like the night market in Taiwan Province. Only after I came here did I find that only the night market in Taiwan Province has a form, and the food can not be compared with the night market in Taiwan Province.

all snacks in Xiamen s are concentrated in zengcuo _ village, but zengcuo _ village can only say that its signboard is similar to Taiwan Province s night market. There are not as many kinds of snacks as in Taiwan Province, and the price is quite high, which is very commercialized. Moreover, the homogenization is serious, and most of them are chain stores. Take this shop called Love Crisp as an example. I have seen it in Nanluoguxiang in Beijing, Hefe Street in Hangzhou and Zengcuo Village in Xiamen. I don't-I don't know what are the real Xiamen specialties. Too many online celebrity shops are selling handmade nougat and snowflake cakes, which may become the standard in the middle and old streets of the city.

snacks in zengcuo _ village mainly include shrimp and eggs, fried oysters, satay noodles, peanut soup, aiyu lemon ice, fried skewers and fruits.

mark potato toast

this potato toast tastes good. Mashed potatoes are wrapped in bread crumbs and fried in oil. Then, it is topped with cucumber and corn bacon, and topped with cheese sauce, which is a bit like snacks in Taiwan Province. T see other delicious snacks. I tasted the shrimp and eggs of internet celebrities, which were very ordinary and tasteless.

satay noodles

satay noodles are a famous snack in Xiamen. Because of the rain, I didn't stop going to the most famous Satay noodle in the city. I just picked one and tasted it. This is not bad or delicious. The level of soup is average, and the topping barely passes. Signature Sat

Peanut soup is also a famous snack in Xiamen. I wonder if this store is not for sale. I didn't do well. Peanut soup is too sweet.

seafood chow mein line

seafood chow mein is the most satisfying food I have ever eaten. It is often served as breakfast in Xiamen. Stir-fried noodles are also randomly selected shops, which are actually delicious and worth a try.

Fried oysters

People in Xiamen say that their oyster omelet is different from that in Taiwan Province, so I can't tell the difference. If you can get used to seafood, this oyster omelet tastes good, mainly because the temperature of egg frying is better.

fire ginseng fruit

There are quite a few fruits in Xiamen. This kind of ginseng fruit has never been seen before I tasted it curiously. It tastes sour and sweet, very fresh. In addition, there are many lotus fogs in Xiamen. Many people say that lotus is the queen of fruits, but to be honest, lotus is really not very delicious, and it is far from mangosteen. 1 yuan for a cup of mango from Zengcuo Village. It is still a good deal.

Sea Bird's Nest

This seabird's nest was not bought in Zengcuo _ village, but in Gulangyu Island. It tastes like Ai Yuzi or Cao Xian, and it tastes ok. I haven't. I haven't eaten it before, so try it.

scenic spots

The main scenic spots in Xiamen are all on the island. The island is small and the scenic spots are limited. You can finish the tour in three or four days.

Island Road

The road around the island is very long, and the essence is in the south. If you choose to walk, you can only walk a short distance. The best way is to ride a bike. You can rent bicycles for two or three people here. Xiamen is a beautiful seaside in the United States, with many beaches. There is a statue of Mazu near Huangcuotan, opposite the Golden Gate. It is said that the mayor of Xiamen organized a tour to Kinmen for more than two hours. On the roadside opposite the beach, there is a big sign that one country, two systems unifies China, directly facing Kinmen Island.

Mazu statue

It is said that the face of Mazu statue is black, because fishermen used to catch black pearls at the seaside.

Zeng Yan' an

Zeng CuO _ Village is dominated by businesses and homestays. It is very lively at night, and many shops are still closed. It doesn't open at 9 o'clock. The morning clock. We mainly eat snacks and shop here. If you can walk around here by the way, if you don't want to live here, it's more appropriate to come and go back at night.

Xiamen University

It is really difficult for it to get into Xiamen University now. It only opens at 12:3 every day. You have to make an appointment in advance at WeChat official account U Xiamen University. It is said that the appointment ended as soon as it was released.

if you don't have an appointment, there are two ways. One is to pick up people inside, and the landlord just chose this road, and the little thigh went in; First, find scalpers, they have a way to take people in by car, which is only a few tens of dollars.

The Lotus Tunnel is said to be very beautiful and literary, but the photos taken must be repaired, because the graffiti on the wall is all written by tourists, which has no aesthetic feeling, not only affecting themselves, but also affecting others.

Dormitory Building

Passing the dormitory building, I think the outside looks beautiful. In fact, living in the dormitory is very uncomfortable because it is very humid.

administrative office building

Xiamen University is very big. If you go by yourself, you may get lost or take a detour. It's best if you have a friend who can take you there. You can have a good look around the school and then go in.

Xiamen University is surrounded by mountains and seas. The campus buildings are very distinctive and the scenery is beautiful. It is very happy to go to school here, but the dormitory building is humid, and northerners think I can't adapt to them.

Nanputuo Temple

Nanputuo Temple comes from Xiamen University. You can arrange to play together. I don't-I don't know if it's because Xiamen people are very Buddhist. The incense in Nanputuo Temple is very strong. No, I don't need a ticket. This is the first time the landlord has met. No, I don't need a ticket.

Botanical Garden

A highlight of Botanical Garden is the water spray show, which is only open on sunny days. So, if you want to come to the botanical garden, you must remember to come on a sunny day. The landlord just caught up with the rainy day and couldn't go to the botanical garden. The Botanical Garden is on the hill of Xiamen University. You can put the Botanical Garden, Xiamen University and Nanputuo Temple in Joeri for one day.

Gulangyu/Gulangyu

Gulangyu is the most expensive scenic spot in Xiamen, and it is also the most interesting place. You need to go to Gulangyu by ferry. On the island, you usually get on the boat from Gu Xia Pier, and you can reach Gulangyu Island in 2 minutes. Tickets to Gulangyu Island should be bought in advance. There is a limit to the number of people in Gulangyu every day, and one ticket is a round-trip ticket. When you go, you can only take which boat you bought at which time. On the return trip, you can take any boat, choose the pier at will, or stay on the island for a few days and then come back. When you return, go to the pier opposite Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, so that you can walk directly around Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street at night. But when I return at night, there are many people going to this dock, and I have to queue up.

1. if you buy an early ticket, the bus to Xiamen Gulou pier in the morning is slower, and the earliest bus of BRT is 7:3. Sometimes you can only take the little black bus, which is about the same price as BRT.

2. If you buy a boat ticket, you will be prompted to check in one hour in advance. Actually, it is not. It's not rush hour. There is absolutely no need to go an hour in advance. However, it's good to go early. In the morning, the boat can queue up early to check in, and the second floor can grab a sightseeing spot. T mind if there are any sightseeing spots, there Idon' need to go so early.

Several scenic spots on Gulangyu Island are charged. You don't want to see any scenic spots if you don't, do you? I don't have to buy a ticket. Tickets can be paid for a scenic spot or a joint ticket. The joint ticket is cheaper than a single scenic spot by about 2 yuan.

I suggest buying a joint ticket. Among these scenic spots, Sunguangyan, Guzhuang Garden and Hao Yue Garden are all worth seeing. Sun Rock is the highest point on the island, overlooking the whole island and Xiamen Island. Xinzhuang Garden is a garden built by the sea. It combines Chinese and western architecture and uses seawater and rocks to build gardens. The scenery is very good. There is a statue of Zheng Chenggong in Hao Yue Garden. There are several beaches on Gulangyu Island, where you can do some water sports.

Personally, the best time to travel in Xiamen is after May Day. There are few tourists and the weather is not too cold. Different tourists have different impressions of Xiamen. People who have lived by the sea for a long time will not be so excited when they see the sea, and they are more willing to spend time to see Xiamen's architecture and feel the exquisiteness of Xiamen. For inland tourists who have never seen the sea, they may prefer to spend time playing on the beach. So it's best to arrange your trip according to your actual situation. Blindly punching in may make travel boring.

as for what you need to take, s the same as what you usually take when you go out, nothing special. Just bring mosquito repellent and sunscreen.
