Of course, you can also fly from Wuhan to Xiamen.
After staying in Xiamen for a while, I got a little different understanding of Xiamen. I found that there are not many really interesting places or scenic spots in Xiamen, but it is really suitable for staying for a while. I live in a youth hostel every day, listen to birds, drink Minnan Kung Fu tea, eat fragrant and sweet tea, listen to the residents here, ride my bike to the seaside to watch the sunset, pick strawberries, and taste a little authentic every day. Then I took a boat across the sea to wander around Gulangyu Island, took photos in the old villas of those countries, and listened to the children returning home practicing the piano floating out of the windows, and I got drunk unconsciously. When the sunset is about to fall into the sea, find a seafood snack shop and eat little seafood, bitter snail, leafy fish and Xigong, which just landed on a small fishing boat. . . If you are a few friends, you can also find a boat to eat while fishing.
Stay for a long time, plus the information of friends, recommend some classic places for everyone, which is definitely worth visiting!
Live:
1, Xiamen International Youth Hostel: No.41Nanhua Road, tel. 0592-2082345,2199876. Right next to Xiamen University, it is very convenient to go to the seaside and Gulangyu Island. Authentic backpacker gathering place. The facilities are relatively complete, you can surf the Internet, do self-help laundry, and cook your own meals. The room is very new, the sheets are very white, and there is a particularly large garden courtyard. The host is very enthusiastic and lucky to make friends with him. The host will always invite you to tea and try snacks. The old villa with red brick houses is unique in southern Fujian. It is quiet in the middle of the noise. Every morning, it is awakened by the sound of birds. When studying in the courtyard, there are bamboo leaves floating on the book, which can be used as bookmarks. There are also two cats, two dogs and a bird of the owner living here. They are very cute. It's perfect to find such a place away from the noise in the city for a long time! Here, I chat with all kinds of guests every day, drink kung fu tea with my boss and listen to the local people talking about Minnan culture, only to find that I have always known little about Xiamen, and this city needs to be savored.
2. Binyue Hotel: A well-known hotel in Gulangyu Island. The courtyard is full of flowers, and the room has a decadent and lost beauty. Living here, you can savor the feeling of the old house in Gulangyu and feel the life of the authentic Gulangyu people. The only drawback is that the hotel facilities are a bit too simple, the room is not decorated, the light is not good, and it looks a bit dark. However, the advantage is that the price here is cheap. If you don't pay attention, you can stay for two days.
3. Night Lily Hotel:No. Bishan Road 1 1. Two teachers of Xiamen University jointly run a family hotel with only five rooms. The price is unbearable for backpackers (one night in 450 yuan), and the location will be a little remote. However, the rooms are the combination of China's antique furniture and European decorative style, showing luxury. There is an open-air balcony with a view of the sea. The reason why the owner opened this shop is that it can be used to entertain some of his friends from abroad. If there is no economic pressure, you may wish to stay here for a few days, which will definitely make you feel as if you are in the luxurious exotic customs of Gulangyu concession era.

Ok:
1. In Xiamen Island:
1 There are many bus routes in Xiamen Island. One trick is that if you want to go to a place and can't find a route, you should take the train station first. The train station has bus routes to all corners of Xiamen.
2. In Xiamen Island, Nanputuo, Xiamen University, Hehuan Island Road and Hulishan Fort are on the same route. Therefore, it is suggested to visit Nanputuo first, walk to Xiamen University, walk from Baicheng School Gate to the seaside of Huandao Road, and walk to Hulishan Fort. After the tour, you can rent a bicycle at the door and ride around Huandao Road.
Second, Gulangyu:
1, Gulangyu is a small island without motor vehicles, and all of it depends on walking. After taking the bus to the ferry terminal,
2. For the transition by boat from the ferry terminal, you don't need to pay for the journey, but you have to pay three yuan for the return journey. When you take a boat, you have to add one yuan to the second floor, but it won't be so crowded, and you can have a seat and take more good photos.
3. The only electric frequency car on Gulangyu Island that can take a walk instead of walking is very expensive, and it is not cost-effective to stop in front of several important scenic spots in 20 yuan. It is recommended to walk.
4. The ferry from Xiamen Island to Gulangyu Island should be past 12 o'clock at the latest, so be careful not to miss it. If you miss it, you can see if there are any boats at the dock who are willing to take passengers for the transition. One boat will bargain, that is, ten yuan.
Third, Jimei:
1, there are many buses to Jimei, at the gate of Xiamen University, at the railway station and by ferry. Very convenient.
2. After arriving in Jimei, you can choose to walk, sit by motorcycle or face. But remember to bargain first.
Tour: 1. In Xiamen Island:
1 First, we recommend Nanputuo, Xiamen University, Baicheng Beach, Hulishan Fort and Huandao Road.
This line is connected together, and it has already mentioned how to get there. The reason for recommendation is: Xiamen University is really beautiful, especially in the smog after rain and sunset, which are the most beautiful times of Xiamen University. I happened to meet them all. After the rain, the Lotus Lake and the top of Lingyun Dormitory in the distance are shrouded in rain and fog. The phoenix trees in the sunset are blooming with large pieces of flowers, and everything is golden. Listening to the music on the radio, I think of my school days and have to admit that this is the most beautiful campus in southern China. There is also a reservoir on the mountain of Xiamen University, and the scenery is also very good. Moreover, standing in the position of the reservoir, you can actually see the distant sea and sunset. Baicheng Beach has brought countless romantic memories to generations of Xiamen University people. It's really love in Xiamen University! While riding a bike around the island, you can enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze, and you can also pick strawberries yourself in the season when there are strawberries.
2. Jinbang Park:
You can find a weekend morning to climb Jinbang Mountain, and then find a teahouse to sit down and see how local people drink tea, chat and spend the weekend. This is a very local weekend gathering place for locals.
3. Zhongshan Park:
There is nothing interesting in Zhongshan Park, but there is usually a square concert on Sunday afternoon, and the performance level is very high. Friends you like might as well go and have a look.
4. Various bars:
Mainly gathered in the vicinity of Kyle Polo Hotel, Betel nut and Lotus, the bars in these places are generally deductive bars, and white-collar workers and people who are usually nervous at work will go after work. It's noisy Lotus is worth recommending HERE. It belongs to a sailing outdoor club in Xiamen. The atmosphere is good, and donkey friends who like outdoor and sailing can also participate in their activities.
Specially recommended are several near Xiamen University. Basically, it's on Nanhua Road. Lu Coffee is a small coffee shop, but it's very warm. The bar on the first floor of Xiamen International Youth Hostel is also good, very quiet, with a large number of works of art, and it would be better if they met their monthly PARTY, and the atmosphere is great. Brown sugar coffee, Yashe, Comic Bar, 13 Bar are all good places, and the prices are not expensive. They are all relatively quiet places. The bars and cafes in this area are more humanistic, which may be the reason why they are close to Xiamen University. They also have their own characteristics, some with travel as the theme, some with humanities and arts, which are worth tasting.
Second, Gulangyu:
In fact, the general scenic spots on Gulangyu Island are like that, and there is nothing to say. Gulangyu Island was originally a concession of various countries, with a lot of history and a large number of old villas and stories of various countries. When you go to Xiamen, you can buy two materials and get all the information about Gulangyu, including delicious food and fun. A book is "Going to Gulangyu to See Old Villa" and a hand-drawn map of Gulangyu.
Fourth, Jimei School Village:
The buildings in Jimei are so beautiful, especially when viewed from the Xiamen Bridge, the large red brick houses have a stable and vigorous feeling. Jimei is suitable for a half-day tour here. I can't stop shooting with my camera in the school village.
The places I mentioned may not be visited by every tourist, but they must be quite distinctive.
Purchase: 1, Xiamen tribute sugar
2. Pie, don't buy it on Gulangyu Island, one can only be bought by reservation, and the coconut stuffing is particularly good. The reservation number is 1360600 1280.
3, golden fragrant meat floss, dried meat.
It is recommended not to bring too many things, and there is nothing special about Xiamen's specialties. You can also try them at that time.
