A two-person trip is like a honeymoon. You only have eyes for me, and I only have eyes for you.

? —— Preface

It only takes a few words to decide to come to Xiamen. Only in the middle and early August, I can only take two days off, search the special ticket for flying pigs, plus the weekend, four-day round trip, leaving early and returning late, so I decided to go to Xiamen, and everyone was happy.

as the day of traveling approached, I found that Xiamen was in the heat, with a high temperature of 38 C. I was a little worried about how long I hadn't stayed outdoors in summer. I asked Mr. Zhou several times, but he said nothing, which made me feel at ease.

Maybe it's the summer vacation. Most of the flights are taken by parents with their children. Airplanes are like amusement parks. When taking off, the children's silvery laughter, excitement, happiness and curiosity, like a roller coaster, sounded rhythmically as the plane circled. As the plane was about to descend, the children looked out of the window. Cotton candy! Wow, how beautiful! Wow, are there cows and sheep on the green grass! " It's so cute!

? Sightseeing articles

There are many scenic spots in Xiamen. The accommodation arranged by Mr. Zhou this time is great. The Orange Crystal Hotel near Zhongshan Road is very close to the Botanical Garden, Pedestrian Street and Xiamen University, which is very convenient.

1. Gulangyu

Xiamen must punch in. Tickets can be bought in advance. There is a one-way 35 yuan. It is said that there is no air conditioning, and there is a luxury cruise ship with a price of 158 yuan. It takes about an hour to go sightseeing and take photos on the deck around the island.

After going to the island, you can wander around and stop. The island is very big. Instead of following the scenic spots in online celebrity, you can find different scenery. The intuitive feeling is that commercialization is very serious. After all, Xiamen is the mainstay of tourism. There are basically scenic spots, accommodation and food everywhere, and there is no gap, all covered.

Second, Xiamen University

There is a younger brother studying at Xiamen University, so we followed him directly through the back door to visit Xiamen University. Otherwise, it is said that we have to make an appointment in advance now, which is a bit troublesome. After the rain, the campus of Xiamen University is filled with the smell of citronella, and I like it very much. While walking around, I listened to my younger brother's introduction of Xiamen University attractions and some graduation ideas, and my impression of the young man was better. I felt that I was a little older and more reliable.

What Xiamen University sees in summer is basically tourists. My brother said that Xiamen University has become the largest people's park in Xiamen.

Third, Shapowei

I heard from friends that Shapowei was like a stinking pool many years ago. But now, when searching for Xiamen in Little Red Book, Shapowei is a must-see place, and Shapowei is very close to Xiamen University, and some of it is like the back garden of Xiamen University, so I went to see it, which made me feel like a small area composed of countless online celebrity shops, with food, play and clothes, and beautiful literature and art. Many young girls took photos here. The summer heat did not affect my enthusiasm for taking photos at all, and I felt that only a few photos could be worthy of this scenic spot.

Fourth, Xiamen Botanical Garden

Because it is only a few hundred meters away from the hotel, it belongs to the first stop of punching in Xiamen, but it is also because I just came to Xiamen and traveled at 38 or 39 degrees. This stop is a baptism of heat, and I am familiar with the heat in Xiamen after this stop. Botanical Garden is also the punching place of online celebrity, and the west gate is close to the scenic spot, which is too hot. Therefore, I decided to take a tourist bus to the scenic spot, which is more worthy of punching in. Under the direct sunlight, taking photos with cactus feels like punching in the desert.

5. Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street

Visiting Zhongshan Road is after dinner in the evening, which is very close to the hotel, much like walking with Mr. Zhou in the evening. Zhongshan Road is very long, and there are also some small alleys. I found it very commercial on the first walk, but I didn't like it very much. When I go again, I will be patient in searching. Some snacks are still worth punching in, and my stomach will burst when I taste the gift all the way.

Six, Wulishan Fort

It is worth mentioning that there is a small beach next to the fort, which is less crowded and can be played by the sea.

Gourmet articles

How can we let go of some shops with good reputation when we love food, and the gourmet tour begins?

1. Fried Crab with Ginger Duck

Mr. Zhou has been to Xiamen before, and he is the favorite food for Xiamen Ginger Duck, so we went straight to this word-of-mouth shop for our first lunch in Xiamen, and ordered Ginger Duck, Abalone and Satay Noodles. Everything was very Xiamen, especially Ginger Duck. So far, I fell in love with it. Duck oil was fried, and the aroma of ginger was matched with fried duck, which had a unique flavor.

Second, small-eyed food stalls

When you come to Xiamen, you must eat seafood once. Friends all recommend small-eyed food stalls, and dinner starts.

The ingredients are really fresh. I went there early, and it was already packed. The seafood was tender and delicious.

Third, Xiamen local cuisine

1. Banquet

The environment is very good, the score is very high, and the dishes are exquisite.

2. Yupu

tastes authentic. Personally, it tastes better than this dish at a banquet. The fried oyster is delicious and complete.

Fourth, Gulangyu Snacks

The Gulangyu old people who originally went to eat with recommended feelings, to be honest, the taste of fried oysters is much worse than that of fish shops. Can it be that Gulangyu old people will also promote it? A little disappointed.

I tasted fish balls, grass and peanut soup, which was painless and itchy. Perhaps we can't expect too much from snacks in places with serious traces of commercial tourism, which are far less delicious than those inadvertently found in streets and lanes.

5. Snacks in Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street

This should be the longest and largest pedestrian street I have ever been to, with a lot of delicious food, but it needs to be discovered.

Satay Noodles, the first of its kind, tastes pure. Mr. Zhou finished all the soup.

6. Superspecies Supermarket

There are superspecies in several shopping malls. All kinds of seafood are directly called on-site cooking, but you can only feast your eyes when you are full. Fortunately, you also found superspecies at Xiamen Airport on the night of your return trip. Because it was past 1 am, you basically closed the stalls, but you still bought sushi, saury and fruit. They all tasted fresh and liked this supermarket very much.

? Coffee article

This is a leisurely tour. For this petty-bourgeois city, coffee is also an urban culture. Punched in several good coffee shops.

1. PP Planet Friends Planet

What's great is that it is on the top floor of Shimao, overlooking Gulangyu Sea and many tall buildings. The scenery is good, of course, the coffee is pure, and the dessert is amazing.

Second, Be Normal Coffee

The storefront is very small, and the younger brother is very professional. This coffee is special in brewing, and the taste is not bad. Every cup of coffee has every story, and it has not been cured.

Third, Zhuanshan Coffee

I am attracted by the public comments. In a very inconspicuous place, it is full of people. There are many kinds of black coffee for different countries to choose from. I ordered zero iced milk coffee and hand-made coffee, accompanied by sea salt caramel cake, and enjoyed it quietly.

The trip to Xiamen has been arranged for four days, so three days should be enough. On the last day, I basically wandered around and went to the library of the Science and Technology Museum for coffee. It was still a wonderful trip. Xiamen was more commercialized than expected, with heavy tourist traces and a slightly lower degree of development than ideal, but it didn't affect my love for her literature and art. The literary blocks of interesting shops were very relaxing.

Thanks to Mr. Zhou, the best travel companion, for his careful care.
