For the city of Xiamen, I always think of it when talking about tourism.
I have been to Xiamen many times with friends from Qingyi. Every time I go there, I have a different feeling. If you want to visit Xiamen, I recommend: DAY1 Zengcuo'an → Furong Tunnel (within Xiamen University) → Small Eyes Food Stall DAY2
Railway Cultural Park → Zhongshan Road → Gulangyu DAY3 China Town → Return Shopping. There are many branded clothing available for purchase at Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, and near various tourist attractions you can buy some Xiamen special souvenirs, such as refrigerator magnets, postcards, etc.
For food, it is recommended to buy some Zhang Sanfeng milk tea and Miss Zhao’s red bean cake, which are great whether you eat them yourself or give them to others.
Food (1) Shacha Noodles Shacha Noodles are soup-based noodle snacks widely popular in Southeast Asia. In China, they are mainly divided into Shacha from Southern Fujian and Chaoshan, Guangdong, among which Xiamen’s Shacha Noodles are a model.
The main ingredients of Shacha sauce include dried shrimps, dried fish, onions, garlic, ginger and more than ten kinds of ingredients, which are fried and crispy and then ground finely to make Shacha sauce for use.
(2) Frozen bamboo shoots Frozen bamboo shoots are a traditional snack originating from the coastal areas of Fujian. According to legend, the inventor is the national hero Zheng Chenggong.
It contains colloid. The main raw material is a kind of worm. After boiling, the colloid contained in the worm body dissolves into the water and condenses into a block after cooling.
Its meat is clear and delicious.
Paired with good soy sauce, aged vinegar, and minced garlic, it's extremely delicious.
(3) Fried five-spice Fried five-spice is a traditional snack in Fujian Province and is made using the fried rice dumpling method.
When frying, the green dough should be slowly slid into the oil pan, and when fried to the surface of the oil, it should be turned frequently so that it can be heated evenly.
The appearance is reddish brown in color, fresh and crispy, and the filling is smooth and sweet. It tastes especially good when eaten hot and goes well with wine.
(4) Ginger Duck Ginger Duck is a delicacy that originated in Quanzhou, Fujian, and then spread to other parts of China and even overseas. It is a traditional snack in Fujian.
It can not only replenish qi and blood, but the duck meat paired with it has the effect of nourishing yin and reducing fire.
The medicated food in the food is nourishing but not greasy, warm but not dry, and is suitable for consumption in autumn and winter.
(5) The founder of Huang Zehe Peanut Soup Shop is Huang Zehe, a native of Quanzhou. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in Xiamen, he often carried burdens and set up stalls near the intersection of Lujiang Road and Zhongshan Road to sell peanut soup to dock workers and passing tourists.
Huang Zehe's peanut soup is famous for its quality, which is rotten but not mushy, sweet but not greasy, and has guaranteed quality.
(6) Little Eyes Food Stall Little Eyes Food Stall is a must-eat restaurant for almost every foreign tourist coming to Xiamen, and there is often a long queue at the door.
What was once a food stall has now developed into a restaurant. The seafood is fresh, rich in variety, and the cooking techniques are relatively simple, retaining the original delicious taste of the ingredients, and the prices are affordable.
(7) Zhang Sanfeng Milk Tea Zhang Sanfeng specially blends European-style milk tea, allowing people traveling in Xiamen to enjoy exotic-flavored milk tea improved in China.
The main raw materials of Zhang Sanfeng milk tea: black tea imported from Sri Lanka + Nestlé Sanhua evaporated milk + Nestlé milk powder + top-secret nut raisins, etc. Due to the unique raw materials and formula, the taste, milk taste and tea aroma of Zhang Sanfeng milk tea are different from traditional Taiwanese milk tea and
Hong Kong style milk tea.
(8) Pan Xiaolian Yoghurt Pan Xiaolian’s mango yogurt is located at No. 8 Longtou Road, Gulangyu Island, behind Sanyou Holiday Tourism City. It is named after the boss’s daughter.
