Traffic 1. There are many ways to come to Xiamen, such as plane, train, car and self-driving, depending on the convenience.
If you arrive at the airport by plane, I suggest you get a free hand-drawn map of Xiamen at the airport. Very cute and practical, with both reference value and collection value.
Xiamen is a small city. It only takes about 45 yuan to take a taxi from the airport to the ferry. Pay attention to prevent taxis from detouring. Recently, Xiamen's reputation was ruined by these taxis. Let me tell you a few tips to prevent cheating: 1) Don't tell your destination before you get on the bus, tell me after you get on the bus, and don't get off without driving. 2) Ask for an invoice, and don't pay without it. 3) There are no drivers who don't know the way, only drivers who want to make a detour. 4) Seafood restaurant recommended by taxi driver, absolutely! Yes! Don't! Sure！ Let's go
There are two railway stations in Xiamen, one is Xiamen Station and the other is Xiamen North Station. Xiamen station is on the island, and Xiamen North Station is in Jimei. If you take a bus to Xiamen North Station, you can take BRT and subway to the city. You don't need to take a taxi. It is very expensive.
6. Cycling is the best way to visit the island. Motor vehicles, scooters, electric bicycles, etc. It is forbidden to drive in Gulangyu. If you have special needs, you must apply for traffic signs in scenic spots. If you want to ride a bike on Xiamen Island, you can consider renting a bike in Xiamen University and Hu Lishan, where it is the cheapest.
7. BRT in Xiamen is called Airbus, and there is a viaduct dedicated to BRT. You can enjoy the street view of Xiamen city during off-peak hours.
8. xiamen metro has just opened and is very convenient. At present, only the 1 line has been opened, but it has passed through many major scenic spots and transportation hubs. You can buy it on site or download the xiamen metro APP. It is very convenient to directly scan the QR code to enter the station. The line looks like this:
Zhenhai Road Station (next to Zhongshan Road) → Jiangjunci Station → Wenzao Station (transfer to BRT)→ Hubin East Road Station → Lianban Station (transfer to BRT)→ Lianhua Road Station → Lvcuo Station → Wushipu Station → Tangbian Station → Torch Park Station → Qian Dian Station → Gao Qi Station (Airport) → Jimei Xue Cun Station → Garden Expo Park.
There is a legendary sea subway in Xiamen. You must experience it when you come to Xiamen!
Accommodation 1. B&B can consider accommodation. B&B is concentrated in Gulangyu, Zengcuo and Huangcuo. There are more than 1000 homestays in Xiamen, which are mixed, so you should choose carefully. Gulangyu Island is very expensive, which is not recommended by many tourists.
2. If you want to live comfortably, it is recommended to stay in the inn of that hotel, which is similar to your own home, and you can also be deeply impressed by the Minnan culture in Xiamen. There are many online, you can look for them.
Recommend a homestay where I live: Xiamen Jiwei B&B, which is near the sea on the island road. It just opened in February this year. Environmental sanitation is very good, and the cost performance is very high. The key is to look good when taking pictures!
Can I search their home vi when booking accommodation? On the horn: "kiwi's ideal home". Booking here is 40- 100 cheaper than online. Little Red Book: @ Kiwifruit Ideal Home B&B
Anyway, I like their homestay too much!
weather
The best time to come to Xiamen: there is no best time. It's wonderful to come to Xiamen at any time. 165438+1October-February, with the least number of people; From March to June, the temperature is just right, but it may often rain in Mao Mao; July-August is the time when people are most likely to encounter typhoons, but they can swim in the sea; September-10 is the best time, but there may be more people during the golden week and the air tickets are more expensive.
Food 1. Snacks that you must try when you come to Xiamen are: roasted meat dumplings, bowls, fried coriander, fish ball soup, fried oysters, frozen bamboo shoots, satay noodles, fairy grass, peanut soup and Xiamen pie.

3. Snacks in scenic spots can be eaten at will. The so-called century-old shop may have been open for less than two years. Don't expect too much, so the disappointment will not be too great.
It is inevitable to eat seafood when you come to Xiamen. Tourists generally like to go to small glasses, but there are actually many good choices. Yajian food stall near Xiamen University, 14 1 food stall near the ferry, and the cool breeze of Hexiang West Road are all good choices. If you want to eat better seafood, you can consider going to Kerry Seafood Restaurant and Shuyou Seafood. In addition, the seafood restaurant recommended by taxi drivers must not go!
Other 1, Xiamen is very small, and self-help tour is the most comfortable.
2. Items to be carried: ① drugs commonly used by people and drugs for treating diarrhea; (2) Sanitary ware is a must for travel. (3) certificates and identification. (4) rain gear, Fujian Province is one of the most rainy provinces in China. ⑤ Money, don't prepare too much. Carry more than 50% of the budget in an emergency; I also need to change some coins to use when taking the bus in Xiamen. Umbrella, sunscreen, hat, especially in summer, the sun is very poisonous. 7 slippers, how can you play in the sea without slippers?
3. How long is it appropriate to stay in Xiamen? If it is the first time, it will take about four days to visit the city for one day and stay at the seaside for one night. The next day, I will visit and stay on the island. I will walk outside the island on the third day and come back on the fourth day. But Xiamen is a lazy place. I don't want to stay a few more days.
You can bring some dry seafood when you come back. There is a Pizza HUT at the intersection of Dry Goods Street opposite Xiaxi Market on Zhongshan Road, and Hut is easy to recognize. Jinxiang (Huang Shengji) meat floss on Gulangyu Island; Wang Ji School or Gulangyu School (there are N brands, don't make a mistake); Yellow glutinous rice balls; Nanputuo vegetarian cake; Tieguanyin tea; All kinds of shell ornaments (many of them are fake shells). There are also many seafood dry goods to choose from online, and you can also pick up the goods at the airport, which is very convenient!
It is especially difficult to take a taxi at 5-6 pm because they have to change shifts, and at that time,
Brief introduction of Xiamen scenic spot. Zeng CuO _ Play Introduction
Zeng CuO _, the most literary fishing village in China, is called "Zeng CuO _ Wenchuang Village" for short. The alias "Zengli", also known as "Zengjiawo" and "Zengjiawan", is located in the southeast of Xiamen Island, where there are grass in Tuerling, stone in Taimu Mountain and reef in volcanic island, and nature and humanity are integrated. It has a history of over 800 years.
In my opinion, I chose to live in Zengcuo _ because I can understand the cultural connotation of southern Fujian well, taste cultural snacks, go out in a lively and safe way, stay in an inn safely and quietly, and listen to the sound of the waves.
The fact after I checked in is that there is nothing wrong, my choice is right! This place is really great. It can really be said that this inn is the best place I have ever stayed. The surrounding environment is beautiful, with beautiful walkways, clean and comfortable rooms, clean sheets and beautiful decorations. It can be said that the quality of this inn is extremely high! Check into the inn first, and then go directly to Zengcuo to play ~
Going out is another world. It's not noisy, but it's not remote. There are many interesting things after coming out.
There are countless small shops here, which are worth visiting, and there are many delicious foods. You can have a rest if you are tired.
Zeng CuO _ This way out is the sea, just across a small overpass! ! Very convenient! ! ! At night, sleep, the air is good, there is no noise, and the bed is comfortable. This is the meaning of travel!
Gulangyu is a quiet and beautiful island, where there are all kinds of buildings with different styles, Chinese and western walls, gourmet shops and shops with different characteristics, full of literary atmosphere. This is also a must-see spot for my trip. Here I also make an unreserved contribution to our trip! !

Play and eat leisurely on Gulangyu Island! !
Gulangyu cuisine is spread all over the island, mainly in the food street, including Su's deeds, dried meat shops and so on. Every store has free samples, and they are very generous. I am embarrassed not to buy them every time I pass by. Snacks include fried oysters, shrimp eggs, satay noodles, fish balls and so on.
Satay noodle: I bought it at Shaozi Yagongwan store, and I like it very much. There is a lot of seafood in it, which is still very valuable.
I'm a little tired after dinner. Go back to the inn and have a good rest!
Xiamen University and Nanputuo Temple take bus No.2 and No.29 or take a taxi from the inn to Xiamen University, which takes about 20 minutes. How can you come to Xiamen without visiting Xiamen University? Visit the campus, see Furong Lake, and see Furong Tunnel. There are all kinds of graffiti by students in the tunnel, which is very literary.
From the south gate of Xiamen University is Nanputuo Temple. Go to the temple to appreciate the style of ancient buildings, feel the smell of sandalwood in the air, and walk around, as if crossing into ancient times. You can also experience the style of old buildings and feel the beauty at that time.
Zhongshan Road Visit Zhongshan Road in Xiamen, a famous commercial street, in the evening:
Zhongshan Road is the oldest commercial street in Xiamen, with many people, many commodities and great fame. No matter in the past or now, when people talk about Xiamen, they always say Zhongshan Road, just like Manhattan in new york, Ginza in Tokyo and Central in Hong Kong. To Xiamen, Zhongshan Road is a must, 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. Let's start with a gourmet shop: Huang Ze and Peanut Soup on Zhongshan Road. There are many kinds of snacks here.
Jimei Xue Cun Jimei Xue Cun's biggest feature is the unique Jiageng architectural style that combines western styles. Xue Cun is located in Jimei Peninsula and was founded by Mr. Chen Jiageng on 19 13. As the name implies, Xue Cun is a "fishing village" composed of several educational institutions. In addition to school teaching buildings and dormitory buildings, there are facilities such as Funan Great Hall, library, gymnasium, concert hall, Dragon Boat Pond and navigation club. Its characteristic is that many schools are surrounded by overseas Chinese-style buildings, and Longzhouchi, the southernmost part of Xue Cun, has also become a place integrating seascape and human landscape.
From the island to Jimei Xue Cun, you can get off at No.87 Botanical Garden Station from the inn and transfer to the subway. We're almost there!
