Accommodation tips:
Traveling to Xiamen is popular now. Since it is a self-help tour, the family hotel in Zeng Cuo An Village Village is the first choice, and it is a distribution center for free travellers. The key is to be close to the urban attractions. On the left is Music Square, Huangcuo Seaside and Yefengzhai Amusement Park, and on the right are Xiamen University, Hu Lishan Fort, Nanputuo Road and Zhongshan Road. Gulangyu Island is opposite the sea slope (only 5 minutes by taxi to the dock, and bus 660). Accommodation on the island is generally twice that of Zeng Cuo An Village Village. It is not recommended unless you have to go under very special circumstances. There are enough family hotels in Zeng Cuo An Village Village, with various grades and features. You should make a reservation in advance before coming to Xiamen. Of course, you are very welcome to stay in our * * (or room) inn. We will help you plan your specific itinerary according to your specific situation.
Traffic tips:
If you come to Xiamen by train or bullet train, there are Xiamen Railway Station (inside the island) and Xiamen North Station (outside the island). If you are unlucky enough to get a ticket to the North Railway Station, I will go there. It's a long way. It takes more than 100 to take a taxi. If you don't mind, I won't stop it Another way is to take a bus. Take bus No.950 to Wenzao Station and turn to bus No.857 to Zeng Cuo An Village Village. If you want to buy Xiamen Railway Station, there is a Little Square on the right hand side of the station. You can take Tour Line 2 to the Science and Technology Middle School Station.
If you come to Xiamen by bus, there are several bus stops in Xiamen, such as Fanghu, Hubin South and Wucun. If you arrive at Lakeside South Coach Station, get on the bus at Binnan Douxi Road Station [former coach station], take bus No.20 and get off at Xiamen Daxicun Station, then transfer to bus No.47 and get off at Zeng Cuo An Village Village Station. If you arrive at Fanghu Coach Station, take bus No.0/5 to Xiamen University Station and transfer to bus No.751to Zeng Cuo An Village Village. If you arrive at wucun coach station, take bus No.48 to Xiamen University West Village and transfer to bus No.29 to Zeng Cuo An Village Village Station.
There are many scenic spots in Xiamen: Gulangyu Island, Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, Nanputuo Temple, Xiamen University, Hu Lishan Fort, Baicheng Bathroom, Guaipo, Guanyin Mountain, Yefeng Village, Shiwan Botanical Garden, Jimei Xue Cun, Jimei Aoyuan, Chen Jiageng's former residence, Tongan Film and Television City, Riyuegu Hot Spring, Xiamen Garden Expo Park, Tongan Confucius Temple, Su Song's former residence, Dalun Mountain, Brahma Temple and Yingxiong Island.
Posting: To be honest, even Xiamen locals have never been there, let alone foreign tourists. Due to the limitation of travel time, we can only choose a few places we must go to, and other unimportant attractions are not worth mentioning.
Travel time:
It can be divided into the following categories: two days and one night (it can also be considered as one day and one night, coming today and leaving tomorrow), three days and two nights, four days and three nights, and five days and four nights.
Two days and one night (or one day and one night) itinerary planning: arrive in Xiamen in the morning, afternoon or evening.
-If you arrive in Xiamen on the first morning, set out the next day: After staying in the inn, go to Nanputuo (about 1 hour), then go through the south gate of Xiamen University (the old school gate is next to Nanputuo) and visit Xiamen University through Furong Lake. You can choose to have lunch in the student canteen of Xiamen University, but it is economical. It takes about half an hour to eat), and you come out from the Baicheng Gate of Xiamen University, across the street is Baicheng Beach Bath, and next to the Bath is Fort Hu Lishan. Friends who like history and culture can go up and see those rust cannons with historical value. Then go to Gulangyu by ferry, take photos and eat snacks for 5 hours, come back from the ferry at 6: 30 in the evening and go to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street to eat snacks. Go back to the inn for rest at night 10. If you don't want to go back so early, you can go to Siti Bar Street and have a few petty bourgeoisie cocktails. I woke up naturally the next day and wandered around Zeng Cuo An Village Village. Some shops are very special. Then leave the building.
-If you arrive in Xiamen on the first afternoon, leave the next afternoon: after staying in the inn, leave around 4 o'clock, go to Nanputuo (about 1 hour), and then walk around Xiamen University from the south gate of Xiamen University (the old school gate is next to Nanputuo) through Furong Lake (about 6,544 hours). Then take a bus to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, go shopping and eat snacks to fill your stomach. Before leaving Zhongshan Road, it is suggested to pack a ginger duck and go back to the inn to have a snack. If you don't want to go back to the inn too early, you can go to Siti Bar Street and have a few petty bourgeoisie cocktails. I got up early the next morning and went to Gulangyu to play. Adjust the time to go back to the inn to pick up your luggage according to the departure time, and then leave Xiamen.
-If you arrive the first night and leave the next night, stop at the inn first, and then go shopping and eat snacks directly on Zhongshan Road. You can also go to Xidi Bar Street around 10, have a few cocktails with Xiaozi or go straight back to the inn to rest, then go to Nanputuo Temple early the next morning, and then go to Baichengmen of Xiamen University. Visit the rusty cannon of Hu Lishan Fort (the fort can be ignored if time is tight), take the ferry to Gulangyu Island around 1 1: 30, adjust the disembarkation time according to the departure time, and then go back to the inn to pick up your luggage and leave the building.
Travel planning for three days and two nights
On the first day, you can arrange to visit Nanputuo Temple-Xiamen University (it takes one hour to browse, and if you have enough time, you can go to Xiamen University's specialty store to have a good cup of coffee, take photos and be in a daze)-Hu Lishan Fort, and the above three places will end at about 6: 30 in the evening). If you are in Xiamen in the morning, you can choose to eat vegetarian food in Nanputuo or go to the restaurant of Xiamen University.
I woke up naturally the next day and spent the whole day experiencing the beauty and life of Gulangyu Island. Remember to bring your camera. Maybe any corner may be your memory. If you are tired, you can go to NAYA Cafe for a cup of coffee or latte. . . Your favorite taste. Return to Xiamen at about 5: 30 in the evening, then take a taxi to Xiamen Small Eye Food Stall (a well-known small shop) and order some authentic Xiamen soy sauce water (soy sauce water: a traditional seafood cooking method in Xiamen). After a full meal, go to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street (the most representative old street in Xiamen) to hang out and eat snacks.
The scenic spots on the third day are optional. If you have leisure time, you can go to Shiwan Botanical Garden to take a breath of the air there (it is free to open before 7am), or you can visit Zeng Cuo An Village Village and have an authentic breakfast. Or go to the seaside to listen to the sea breeze. Then leave the building.
Travel planning for four days and three nights
After the first day in Xiamen, you can arrange Xiamen University (3-4 hours, Xiamen University has many cafes and specialty bookstores, which can make you indulge for a long time. If you arrive in the morning, you can also arrange lunch at Xiamen University Restaurant. You can leave Xiamen University at the entrance of Baicheng at about 3 pm, with Baicheng Bathroom across the street and Fort Hu Lishan on the side. You can visit Fort Hu Lishan first (the journey takes an hour. Friends who are not interested in history and culture can omit this trip), and then rent a bicycle for two or three people near Baicheng to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the island road, the cool sea breeze and the charming sunset glow with friends. Everything is so carefree.
(The above trip ends around 7 o'clock). The most important stop in the evening is Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street (the most representative old street in Xiamen), which is enough to fill your stomach.
The one-day tour of Tulou can be arranged on the second day (friends who come to Laifu to build a tour outside the province for the first time, it is recommended to book a tour group one day in advance. )
On the third morning, I arranged to go to Nanputuo Temple, climb the back of Wulaofeng and climb over the hill. Behind it is Shiwan Botanical Garden (breathing different flowers and air). At noon, I took a taxi to the famous small glasses food stall in Xiamen and ordered some authentic local soy sauce water (a traditional seafood cooking method in Xiamen). After eating, I will go back to the inn to pack my bags and take the ferry to Gulangyu. In the evening, I will spend the night in Gulangyu, stay in an inn booked in advance, and then start my last trip to Gulangyu.
On the fourth day, I bought something I liked on Gulangyu Island, and then I left the building on Gulangyu Island.
Travel planning for five days and four nights

If you arrive in the morning, you can also arrange lunch at Xiamen University Restaurant. You can leave Xiamen University at the entrance of Baicheng at about 3 pm, with Baicheng Bathroom across the street and Fort Hu Lishan on the side.

On the third morning, I went to the Olympic Park and Jimei School Village in Jimei, and in the afternoon, I went to Riyuegu Hot Spring to soak in the hot springs. In the evening, you can visit every village in Zeng Cuo An Village and have a drink in several specialty shops.
On the fourth morning, I arranged to go to Nanputuo Temple, climb the back of Wulaofeng and climb over the hill. Behind it is Shiwan Botanical Garden (breathing different flowers and air).

If you don't want to go to Sun Moon Valley Hot Springs and Botanical Gardens, you can refer to the following itinerary if you want to stay in Gulangyu for a long time.
On the first day, Xiamen University-in the evening, we visited Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street.
Take a one-day tour of Tulou the next day, return to the inn around 6 pm, and go to Yefengzhai or Guanyin Mountain on Huandao Road in the evening.
On the third day, Nanputuo Temple, Jimei Aoyuan and Jimei Xue Cun spent the evening in a small shop in Zeng Cuo An Village Village, drinking wine or blowing sea breeze, eating barbecue and singing heartily.
On the fourth day, I woke up naturally, went to Gulangyu with my luggage and stayed in an inn on the island for one night. Night tour of Gulangyu, don't have a style.
Leave Gulangyu on the fifth day and arrange your own time.
Itinerary Description: If you leave from * * and go to Nanputuo, take bus No.47 from Zeng Cuo An Village Village Station on Huandao Road to Xiamen University Terminal, which is Nanputuo. Tickets are free at present, and Nanputuo is the most popular temple in Xiamen. Every year on holidays, local people will come to the temple to grab incense. Do you know what it means to cram for the final exam of Xiamen University? . . (Many college students burn incense here)
Shiwan Botanical Garden
Climbing to the top of the mountain behind Nanputuo is the gate of Shiwan Botanical Garden. Admission is 40/ person. There are many world-class endangered species and many strange rocks here, so it is called Shiwan Botanical Garden.
If you don't go to the botanical garden, you can go back down the mountain along the original road, and the south gate of Xiamen University is next to Nanputuo. If you catch up with noon, you can go to the Furong Restaurant of Xiamen University for dinner. Very cheap. After ordering, you can ask Xiamen University students to bring you a meal card, and then you can pay him the corresponding amount, which saves foreigners 30% of the handling fee compared with paying in cash.
Furong tunnel
After lunch, the first stop was the Furong Tunnel to see graffiti. There are graffiti on both sides of the tunnel. It is recommended not to go too deep, just about 50- 100 meters. At the other end of the tunnel is a dormitory group, which has no ornamental significance. Then there is Lotus Lake. From the other side of the lotus, I looked up at the Jiageng complex, the academic center of Xiamen University, the lover's valley and the winding fields. Friends who have been here all feel this way. It would be in vain to spend four years in such a beautiful campus without talking about a vigorous love. Xiamen University is one of the most beautiful campuses in China and the most open campus. At present, Simon only registers occasionally when he goes in, which is still very friendly to the outside world. There was a train ticket agency near the entrance of Xiamen University West Gate yesterday. Friends who need to return by train or bullet train can buy it by the way. Don't line up at the train station, it's relatively loose here. After the trip to Xiamen University, you must remember to go out from the White Gate of Xiamen University, because the road opposite the White Gate is the famous Baicheng Beach Bathhouse in Xiamen, and you will cross an arc footbridge to the opposite side of the road.
Hu Lishan fort
Next to Baicheng Beach is Hu Lishan Fort, which has the best preserved and largest Krupp cannon in the world. It is known as the "king of ancient cannons in the world" and is worth seeing. You can also take a pleasant walk from the beach in Baicheng to pearl bay, listening to the sea in a daze all the way, which is very pleasant. When you get to pearl bay, you can turn back to Huandao Road. There are many bicycle rentals around here. The price is 15 yuan/hour, which can cover the time. Oh, see how you counter-offer. Hehe, it will be more beautiful at night when renting a car, not too hot. It's a waste not to take some pictures of him. Almost all wedding photography in Xiamen is a seaside package, which is taken along this coastline. Along the way, you will see many happy couples taking wedding photos there, and you will also see the old couple walking hand in hand, and the mother flying kites on the beach with her children. If you are lucky, you can meet a beach volleyball match or stay under a small sand castle to chase waves and tread water. Anyway, all kinds of situations are pleasant. . .
Zhongshan Road:
When it comes to Zhongshan Road, I have to say snacks, mainly concentrated near Jukou Street, and the road is on my lips. I believe Xiamen people are still very enthusiastic. They remember eating sesame paste of leaves, Hung Kai Tak's Beizai cake, frozen bamboo shoots in the old street, round cakes in Taiwan Province Province, eight-woman's, fried oysters in a chain, mixed noodles with huge mouths, gold-wrapped silver and Xiamen pancakes (called spring rolls in other places), and the old name of Zhongshan Road. The peanuts in their peanut soup are cooked to the extreme, crisp but not rotten, and melt in the mouth, but they will be very sweet. Many foreign guests think it is too sweet and greasy to eat, but it is the favorite of local people!
Gulangyu:
Let's talk about Gulangyu. If you want to go to Gulangyu Island from * *, you can take the No.29 bus directly to the ferry pier at Zeng Cuo An Village Village Station at the entrance of the village, and then go to the ferry pier across the street through the underground passage. At present, the boat ticket is still 8 yuan, a round-trip ticket. I heard that it costs one or two hundred yuan to get an island ticket in July, and there are various versions. Play first if you can. There will be a bunch of wild guides when you go to the island. Don't believe that as long as 10 goes to 20 yuan, you can travel all over the island. Many times, after two or three scenic spots, you will take them directly to the teahouse. Under all kinds of temptations, sometimes you have to pay hundreds of yuan to buy their tea. At this time, the tour guide will be drawn because they are a group. On the island, it is suggested that we make use of tour groups. Sometimes when we arrive at the gate of a scenic spot, the tour guide will come up with a team waving flags. You can listen while he is explaining to his tourists. Seafood is not recommended on the island. Everything in the scenic spot is killing people, you know. . . No matter how much money you have, you won't stop, but it's not impossible if you really want to live on it. First, find a processing shop near Gulangyu vegetable market to negotiate the price, then go to the vegetable market to buy the seafood you want and process it in the store. This is more reliable. There are many scenic spots on Gulangyu Island, many of which cost money, but I don't recommend them. There are only three places worth visiting. One is the Organ Museum, where there is the tallest and largest organ in the world. Another place is Longzhuang Garden, where the owner is very rich. The collection of 98 pianos from all over the world is enough to make people open their eyes. The other is Sunlight Rock, which is really boring to climb up, but there are many people. Look at the sea view I spent the rest of my time wandering around the island, getting lost, meeting stray cats, and looking for a cafe to have a look at petty bourgeoisie. Then I want to talk about food. Most of them are concentrated in the area of Longtou Road. First of all, Ye's snacks are still available. He may be the only snack allowed to operate on the streets and beaches. It's a little on Zhongshan Road. Sometimes when I play Gulangyu Island during the day, I see this boss selling snacks on the island and playing Zhongshan Road at night, and I will meet him selling at the booth on Zhongshan Road. People can run at both ends. There is a dried meat shop in Huang Shengji on the island. The front of the shop is always crowded. The boss is very generous. Dried meat for guests to try is always big and big. Of course, be generous when buying. The boss will give me a pack. I'm sorry it's not for sale. Their family only charges 50 or 100, 50 yuan 4 packs, 100 yuan 8 packs. Do it for yourself. I really want to buy it at once.
Wang Ji School is an old brand. It tastes very good. If you give it away, you can consider it. There is also a Jin Lan bakery in Neicuowo Road. Their coconut cake is a must. They are delicious. The key is that their home is baked and sold now, and the kitchen is behind the store. If you can find Ji Wang and Jin Lan, you don't have to linger in other XX bakeries. If you are not in the same level, you will understand.
There is no mention of Jimei in Xiamen. To tell the truth, it's far away. It has been over 1 hour since I took a taxi by bus, so it doesn't matter. The point is that what I saw there brought as much difference as loss, and I was very tired. Finally, I will let you come to the conclusion that you will regret not going to Jimei in Xiamen, and you will regret it even more if you go, so it is not recommended here. !
Xiamen snacks:
Frozen bamboo shoots, fried oysters, pies, dried meat, shrimp noodles, satay noodles, batter, fish balls, roasted meat dumplings, pancakes, crispy rice, ginger duck, small glasses seafood stalls (soy sauce and seafood), Tongan sealed meat, winter powder duck, spiced strips, yellow peanut soup, Datong duck porridge, fried noodles and oil.
Most of the above snacks can be eaten when visiting Zhongshan Road and Gulangyu Island.

Xiamen is a beautiful city. The more time you spend, the more you can appreciate her comfort and beauty. It is undoubtedly a great thing to bring a friend with a SLR. Maybe a casual moment will become a beautiful memory forever. Friends with more than five days have a lot of free time, so there is no need to make plans. They are completely free and follow your heart. Wherever they go, they will be sunny and comfortable, and they can stay in our house every day. We drink tea and make tea every day. I sincerely hope that everyone can come to Xiamen for a holiday, instead of taking a cursory look.
