Xiamen tourism recommendation:
1: Gulangyu (during the day 1)- Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street (at night)
The next day: Nanputuo Temple (morning)-Xiamen University (afternoon)-Zengcuo Village (evening)
Day 3: Tour around the island or other scenic spots such as Botanical Garden (morning or daytime)-Huangcuo Beach (afternoon or evening)
First, the introduction of scenic spots
1. Gulangyu
About time: it's best to play for a day. You can go to the island around 8 am and leave around 5 pm (there are hotels and homestays on the island, but the price will be more expensive).
About the route: Go to the island from Sanqiutian Pier, go around the island, and go out from Sanqiutian Pier (basically you can see all the tourist attractions on the island).
About transportation: first, the transportation in and out of the island. The island ferry terminal is located in Xiamen Gulou Ferry Terminal, where tickets can be purchased on site, but there are many people and long queues are needed. It is recommended that WeChat purchase tickets and swipe ID cards. Tickets are available from Gu Xia Pier to Neicuoao Pier and Sanqiutian Pier. The fares are 35 yuan/person and 50 yuan/person respectively (including round-trip tickets). It is suggested to buy a ticket from Sanqiutian Wharf to Shanghai Island, 35 yuan/person. It is suggested to choose Sanqiutian Ferry Terminal to Xiamen Ferry Terminal when leaving the island, and then visit Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street nearby. Wechat tickets are purchased at the official WeChat account of Xiamen Ferry Co., Ltd. Due to the limited number of tickets and the large number of buyers, they need to be purchased in advance. Second, the traffic on the island. There are tours of sightseeing bus on the island, and many people usually walk.
About food: I haven't felt anything special yet. It's similar to other places in Xiamen, but the price is more expensive. Even a bottle of water is expensive. It's not bad that there are local people carrying the burden to sell fruit in the street.
2. Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street
About time: the play time is 2-5 hours, preferably 16:00-2 1:00 pm.
About the route: You can walk to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street after leaving the island from Sanqiutian Wharf in Gulangyu Island.
About food: There are many delicious things to see and eat. There are many specialty stores, scented tea shops, jewelry stores and commercial complexes.
3. Nanputuo Temple
About time: It is better to play in the morning (stay in Xiamen University and visit Xiamen University in the afternoon).
4. Xiamen University (Siming Campus)
About time: afternoon is the most fun time (due to the limited number of visitors, you need to make an appointment three days in advance and make an appointment at the official WeChat account of U Xiamen University).
About the route: West Gate of Xiamen University (near Nanputuo Temple)-Revolutionary History Exhibition Hall, School History Museum, Lu Xun Memorial Hall (on the left side of the entrance)-Biology Expo Hall (on the right side after visiting the second scenic spot)-Furong Lake (on the left side after visiting the second scenic spot)-Siyuan Valley-Furong Tunnel.
Remarks: The official WeChat account of U Xiamen University is recommended, but some are not, such as the Ocean Science and Technology Museum (first, it is difficult to find it when you leave Xiamen University, and third, you can't see anything when you find it).
5. Zengcuoan Village
About time: The play time is 2-5 hours, preferably in the afternoon 16:00-2 1:00, and you can enjoy the scenery both day and night.
About the route: enter from Zengcuo _ village entrance archway, walk along the road and detour (if you are worried about getting lost, you can navigate through Gaode map).
About food: This is an out-and-out food street in Xiamen, which is touching, full of material sense, real price sense and full of feelings.
6. Huangcuo Beach
About time: the play time is 2-5 hours, preferably 16:00-2 1:00 pm. You can also get up in the morning and watch the sunrise at night.
Reason: Compared with other beaches in Xiamen, there are fewer people, better water and bigger beaches.
Second, diet and life strategies.
1. Accommodation recommendation: Accommodation in Xiamen is expensive. B&Bs usually start at more than 200 yuan a night, and hotels usually stay in 500 yuan or 600 yuan. There are also many hotels with several thousand yuan a night. Maybe there are more people traveling in summer.
I recommend a homestay near Zengcuo Village, which has the following advantages: First, it is convenient. Located in the middle of major scenic spots, where is it convenient? You can take a bus, ride a bike, or rent a small electric donkey. In addition, Zengcuo _ village is mainly for eating, drinking and having fun, and there are many snacks. Second, it is affordable. Housing is relatively cheap and food is relatively cheap. The third is beauty. Many homestays are run by young people. Although it is the renovation of old houses, it is generally more particular. No matter the appearance or the interior, many of them are more individual.
Note: There are many homestays near Zengcuo _ village, many of which are in Zengcuo _ village, which is a bit difficult to find and noisy. It is recommended to live in the periphery near Zengcuo _ village.
2. Transportation recommendation: First, take public transportation. Bus No.29 in Xiamen is called universal because it can basically reach important scenic spots and is very convenient. The second is to ride an electric bike or enjoy a bike. Except for the wide road around the island, the roads in other parts of Xiamen are relatively narrow, so you can rent a small electric donkey. Small electric donkeys can be rented in many places in Xiamen, and the price is not expensive. About 20 yuan per hour, the deposit is about 200-300. Especially at night, riding a small electric donkey, blowing the sea breeze and enjoying the night scene is very comfortable. The third is driving. There are many brands of cars in Xiamen, so it is convenient for friends who want to drive.
3. Food recommendation: As a foreigner who comes to Xiamen for the first time, there are many foods that have not been discovered and experienced. In addition to seafood, Xiamen's food features include pork shops, fish balls, scented tea and so on. Looking forward to the discovery of friends.
