Except for the food, which I am not used to, I still like everything else about Xiamen.
Another activity in Xiamen is to go to various small shops to find seals. This is also very fun, but the editor did not collect them all at the time.
Transportation 1. When you come to Xiamen, you can choose from planes, trains, cars, or self-driving. It depends on how convenient it is.
2. If you arrive by plane, it is recommended to pick up a free hand-drawn map of Xiamen at the airport. It is very cute and practical, and has both reference value and collection value.
3. Xiamen is not a big city. A taxi from the airport to the ferry only costs about 45 yuan. Be careful not to take taxi detours.
Recently, Xiamen's reputation has been almost ruined by these taxis. Let me tell you a few tips to prevent taxis: 1) Don't tell your destination before getting on the bus, tell it after you get on the bus, and don't get off the taxi until you drive.
2) Ask for an invoice, and no payment will be made without an invoice.
3) There are no drivers who don’t know the road, there are only drivers who want to take a detour.
4) The seafood restaurant recommended by the taxi driver, definitely! Yes! No! Can! Go! 4. There are two train stations in Xiamen, one is Xiamen Station and the other is Xiamen North Railway Station.
Xiamen Station is on the island and Xiamen North Station is Jimei.
If you take the bus to Xiamen North Station, you can take the BRT and subway to the city. You don't need to take a taxi, which is very expensive.
6. Cycling is the best way to travel around the island road.
Motor vehicles, scooters, electric bicycles, etc. are prohibited from driving on Gulangyu Island. If you have special needs, you must apply for a scenic spot access sign. When riding a bicycle on Huandao Road in Xiamen, you can consider renting a bicycle at Xiamen University and Huli Mountain. It is the cheapest to rent a bicycle here.
7. Xiamen's BRT is called an airbus. There is a viaduct specially used by BRT. You can enjoy the street view of Xiamen city by riding it during off-peak hours.
8. The Xiamen Metro has just opened and is very convenient. Currently, it only runs Line 1, but it passes many major attractions and transportation hubs.
You can buy it on site, or you can download the Xiamen Metro APP to buy it and scan the QR code directly to enter the station, which is very convenient.
The lines are as follows: Zhenhai Road Station (just next to Zhongshan Road) → Zhongshan Park Station → Jiangjunci Station → Wenzao Station (transfer to BRT) → Hubin East Road Station → Lianban Station (transfer to BRT) → Lianhua Road Station → Lucuo
Station → Wushipu Station → Tangbian Station → Torch Garden Station → Dianqian Station → Gaoqi Station (Airport) → Jimei Mei Village Station → Yuan Boyuan Station → Xinglin Village Station → Xingjin Road Station → Guanyi Station → Chengyi
Square Station → Jimei Software Park Station → Jimei Avenue Station → Tianshui Road Station → Xiamen North Station → Yanai Station
B&Bs are concentrated in Gulangyu Island, Zengcuo_, and Huangcuo.
There are more than a thousand homestays in Xiamen, and they vary from good to bad, so choose carefully.
Gulangyu Island is quite expensive and not recommended for many tourists.
2. If you want to live more comfortably, I recommend staying in a B&B inn, which is similar to your own home. You can also feel the Minnan culture of Xiamen. There are many online, you can find them.
I recommend a B&B where I live: Xiamen Kiwi B&B, located in Zengcuo on Huandao Road, very close to the sea! It was just opened in February this year. The environment and hygiene are very good, and the price/performance ratio is very high. The key is that it looks very good when taking photos! Book your accommodation
You can search their vi?in general number: "kiwi ideal home", and ordering here is 40-100 cheaper than online.
Xiaohongshu: @Kiwi Ideal Home B&B. I really like their B&B! The best time to visit Xiamen is the weather: There is no best time.
It’s a great time to visit Xiamen.
From November to February, there are the fewest people; from March to June, the temperature is just right, but it may often drizzle; from July to August, there are the most people and you may encounter typhoons, but you can swim in the sea; from September to October, the most popular months are
The best time, but during Golden Week there may be more people and air tickets are more expensive.
Food 1. Snacks that you must try when you come to Xiamen include: roasted pork rice dumplings, rice balls, fried five-spice, fish ball soup, fried oysters, bamboo shoot jelly, sand tea noodles, roasted grass jelly, peanut soup, and Xiamen pie.
2. Roasted pork rice dumplings recommend 1980 roasted pork rice dumplings, Taiwan Awan roasted pork rice dumplings with added ingredients; Zengcuo_’s One Bowl of Porridge; Wanzai_ recommends Wu Zaitian Snack Shop; fried five-spice recommended Jiawei Zaitian Snack Shop; fish ball soup recommended Yong
Fengyu balls; sea oyster jelly, recommended Lian Huan sea oyster jelly; bamboo shoot jelly, Ximen bamboo shoot jelly, recommended; sand tea noodles, Sili Sha tea noodles, Yuehua sand tea noodles, Dazhong sand tea noodles; roasted grass jelly, recommended Ba Popo roasted
Grass jelly and Fu Bo Shao jelly; Huang Zehe peanut soup is recommended for peanut soup; Wangji, Huang Zehe and Ajizai are recommended for Xiamen pie. 3. Just eat the snacks in the scenic spot casually. The so-called century-old restaurants may be the only ones.
It has been open for less than 2 years, so don’t expect too much, so you won’t be too disappointed.
4. When you come to Xiamen, you can’t avoid eating seafood. Tourists generally like to go for small glasses. In fact, there are many good choices.
Yajian Food Stall near Xiamen University, 141 Food Stall near the ferry, and Liangfeng on Hexiang West Road are all good choices. If you want to eat better seafood, you can consider going to Jiali Seafood Restaurant, Shuyou Seafood, etc.
In addition, you must not go to the seafood restaurant recommended by the taxi driver! Others 1. Xiamen is very small, so self-guided tours are the most pleasant.
2. Items that need to be brought: ① Commonly used medicines, medicines for treating diarrhea; ② Sanitary ware, essential items for traveling.
③Certificates, things that prove identity.
