Introduction of scenic spots
Xiamen is divided into five administrative regions, namely Siming District and Huli District, Haicang District, jimei district, Xiang 'an District and Tong 'an District.
For people who only have a 3-4-day trip, it is not recommended to go to scenic spots outside the island because they need to spend a lot of time in the car. Instead, it is better to quietly enjoy the sea breeze in summer or the sunshine in the afternoon in winter on the beach of the island.
The following are all the scenic spots on the island that I introduced to you.
1. Gulangyu
Known as the "sea garden", it also has a romantic mood. Round-trip route to and from the island 35 yuan/person. Visitors can only board the island by boat at the "Cruise Center Pier" in Du Dong.
There are also additional scenic spots on the island, namely 60 yuan in Sunlight Rock, 30 yuan in Piano Museum in Pi Manor, Hao 15 yuan/person, 20 yuan Organ Museum, and International Printmaking Museum 10 yuan/person. You can choose for yourself.
2. Zhongshan Road
Built in 1925, it is the same old pedestrian street as Jianghan Road in Wuhan and Nanjing Road in Shanghai. All the buildings are arcades with strong Nanyang style.
There are many cultural relics, such as Xiaozouma Road, Chen Huacheng's former residence, the First Temple of China, Jiangxia Hall, Taiwan Province Snack Street, various specialty shops and art shops.
Gulangyu is across the sea, but the "ferry pier" here is only open to locals.
3. Xiamen University
Xiamen University is one of the most beautiful universities in China. The most important scenic spot is Furong Road. On both sides of the tunnel are graffiti art left by students, full of youthful and romantic feelings. But it should be arranged at the end, because after visiting the tunnel, I will go straight out of school!
You need to use your ID card to enter the campus. The specific opening hours are as follows:
From Monday to Friday, at noon 12:00- 14:00, there are 700 people in front of Danan School and 300 people in front of West School (Qunxian School).
Monday to Friday after noon 17:00, unlimited.
Open all day from Saturday to Sunday.
4. Nanputuo Temple
The must-see place in Xiamen is behind Xiamen University. Climbing to the top of Nanputuo Temple, you can see the whole Xiamen University and the distant sea view. The scenery is pleasant. You can feel a strong religious atmosphere in Nanputuo City. You can buy a box of authentic and famous specialty "Nanputuo Plain Cake", 10-20 yuan. You don't need tickets to enter Nanputuo Temple.
5. Xiamen Botanical Garden
Close to Xiamen University and Nanputuo Temple, it is a core tourist attraction. There are all kinds of subtropical plants, many kinds, which can be played all day. The most worth seeing are desert flora and rainforest world. The famous scenic spots in the park are Taiping Shixiao, Shiwan Hancui and Tianjie Temple.
Park admission: full 40 yuan/person.
Opening hours: 6: 30- 18.
Main entrance: West Gate of Huyuan Road. Other entrances are far away from the main scenic spot, so the traffic is inconvenient.

6. Huandao Road
Known as "the most beautiful marathon track in the world", the coast from Xiamen University to the convention and exhibition center is called "golden coastline". Riding a single and double car around the island road is undoubtedly the best choice, and all the scenic spots along the way can rent a car and return it. You can also choose to walk on the sidewalk around the island, listen to the sound of the waves and enjoy the sea breeze.
The scenic spots along the golden coastline, starting from Xiamen University, are Baicheng-Hu Lishan Fort-pearl bay-Calligraphy Square-Zengcuo Village-Music Square-Yefengzhai-Exhibition Center in turn. At the same time, you can choose to eat local snacks in Zengcuo Village.

There are two main railway stations in Xiamen, Xiamen Station and Xiamen North Station. Xiamen station is located on the island, and it is convenient to go to all the popular attractions in Xiamen. Xiamen North Station is located in jimei district, relatively in the city center. It takes about 40 minutes to get to the central railway station of the island by BRT. Specifically, the BRT of the North Railway Station passes through the station. Look at the "urban traffic" in the back.
3. Bus stop
Here, there are three main stations on the island: Wucun long-distance bus station, which faces Xiamen Railway Station across the road and is in a relatively central position; Lakeside coach station, near the cruise center pier, where tourists can go to Gulangyu Island. Fanghu long-distance bus station is near the airport and Wuyuanwan Wetland Park.

Accommodation strategy
Go to Xiamen. For young people, what we need is to feel her literary and romantic feelings, so try not to stay in hotels, which will make us lose the meaning of traveling to Xiamen.
Below, I made a simple ranking of accommodation in several areas and drew the range. Beyond this range, although in this area, it is inconvenient to travel.
1. Zengcuoan village
Xiamen is the first choice for tourist accommodation. Living on the street opposite the beach is also convenient for traveling around the island. In Zengcuo Village, you can stay in a romantic inn, visit various specialty shops and eat various local snacks. Watch the sunrise in the morning, blow the sea breeze at night and eat seafood supper. This is undoubtedly the best accommodation choice. Compared with Gulangyu Island with the same experience, the cost here is more cost-effective.
Transportation: It's convenient to live here. You can take the tourist bus to the cruise center pier (where tourists go to Gulangyu), Zhongshan Road and Xiamen University, all of which are located in Tianqiao Bridge in Zengcuo Village. Cost 5- 10 yuan. At the same time, there are several bus lines leading to the above scenic spots, and the airport express line also departs from here for the airport.
Accommodation cost: average price 180-300 yuan.
Tip: You'd better book this position online in advance. When you arrive at Zengcuo Village, you can call the innkeeper, who will take you to the inn.
Accommodation scope:
2. South Gate of Xiamen University
The hotels here are mainly express hotels, lacking the literary atmosphere of Zengcuo Village. It is about 1.5km from here to Baicheng of Xiamen University by the sea (you can take two bus stops) and about 750m from the observation deck of the famous Yanwu Bridge. Xiamen University, Nanputuo and Botanical Garden are all near here. Except for the plants, the other two are within walking distance.
Transportation: 1
3. Zhongshan Road
Similarly, on Zhongshan Road, we mainly stay in express hotels and guesthouses. However, if you live here, you can visit Centennial Pedestrian Street, eat the delicious food in Taiwan Province Snack Street, and visit famous shops in buy buy. You can also enjoy the beautiful night view of Gulangyu Island when the sea breeze blows at night. In addition, it is relatively close from Zhongshan Road to Xiamen Botanical Garden (Huyuan Road).
Transportation: Zhongshan Road is very convenient, and you can quickly reach the cruise center, Xiamen University, Zengcuo Village and other scenic spots. There are tour buses and airport express lines. The coach gets on and off at the ferry (near Lujiang Hotel), and the airport express gets on and off at Chunguang Hotel.
Accommodation cost: the average price is 230-350 yuan.
Accommodation scope:
4. Opposite pearl bay
Near the first phase of Software Park, mainly folk inn, near pearl bay Beach, is one of the beaches frequented by tourists. The accommodation is about 350 meters away from pearl bay, and you need to enter at the fork of the main road around the island. Accommodation here is more economical than other recommended places. Accommodation conditions and styles are the same as those in Zengcuo _ Village, which is also literary and artistic, more like a small fishing village by the sea.
Transportation: Take the bus at pearl bay Bus Station. Compared with Zengcuo Village and Zhongshan Road, there are no tourist buses and airport express lines here, only buses, but it is also very convenient to go to the main attractions, so you can go directly.
Accommodation cost: average price 120-200 yuan.
Accommodation scope:
From 20 10 to 20 10, there are many special snacks in Xiamen, such as satay noodles, fried oysters, spiced shrimp noodles, meat dumplings, duck porridge, frozen bamboo shoots, vegetarian cakes, mala Tang and various seafood. I won't introduce these in detail here. When you come to Xiamen, remember to eat these special foods, and you will have no regrets.
There are three places where tourists eat these special snacks: Zengcuo Village, Zhongshan Road (including Taiwan Province Snack Street) and Gulangyu Island.
Here, I recommend some famous shops with characteristics.
Small glasses food stall (eating seafood): 85 per capita.
Zehe Peanut Soup Shop: No.22-24 Zhongshan Road, Siming District (opposite KFC)
Zhang Sanfeng Tea Shop: No.266 Longtou Road, Gulangyu Island (near Jiexin Park)
980 barbecued pork bun: No.353 Zhongshan Road (near the former site of Workers' Cultural Palace)
Sightseeing Hall of Lujiang Hotel: Floor 7, Lujiang Hotel, No.54 Lujiang Road
Miss Zhao's shop: No.298 Longtou Road, Gulangyu Island (near Underwater World)
Dazhong Satay Noodle: Near Yingkai Hotel, No.49 Zhongshan Road.
Fried lotus oysters: Jukou Heng Lane, Jukou Street, Zhongshan Road 10.
Ma Ye 'an: Corner of Longtou Road in Gulangyu Scenic Area
Burning grass in Popo: Longtou Road 144 (near the Longtou Farmers' Market in Gulangyu)
Gourmet guide
As a place highly recommended by people who come to Xiamen, as a food center (Little Paradise) and a Nanyang-style building, you will like it here. If you are a foodie, I want to tell you! There are three snack centers on Zhongshan Road: the first one is an alley next to the entrance of Zhongshan Road (opposite to the pier to Gulangyu Island), which is dominated by seafood stalls. The second one is to walk along the main road, in the direction of Hucheng. There will be a short road to concentrate on baking. If you like these, don't miss them. The third one focused in bold is the first floor of Chinatown, the main road. A new snack city has been opened, where there are meals and snacks. The price hits the nail on the head and is quite close to the people. I don't know what special snacks to eat. You can come here if you want to eat. Of course, I thought about it for you. If you don't like snacks, Haidilao is opposite the snack city, hahaha. China City and Tiger City are not far away, and there are other kinds of restaurants. Eat it, just like when you went to Wanda! Highlight snacks: Huang Ze and peanut soup (at the intersection), Yang Xiaoxian noodle ice (a hidden elevator), and Aojiao fried tenderloin shop (Bian Xiao forgot the name, there are always many people waiting in line, if you want to drink, you can try koi fish (in Chinatown). Because I'm a night snack stall, I took the night snack route of 1- 1 day with my friends, which takes about 1 hour. The most beautiful university-Xiamen University (8. 14-9. 1 1, closed to tourists)
Zhongshan Road
Strong reminder: If you want to come to Xiamen University, please watch the following opening hours: noon 12-14, 5: 30 pm. If you want to go to Xiamen University and go directly to Baicheng Beach, you can ask. There is a road leading to the seaside at the fork of Furong Tunnel. Other times, I suggest you go to the nearby scenic spots recommended by Bian Xiao. There are two four fruit soup pavilions on Mao Street and Mao Street in Shapo Wei. One is my aunt's and the other is my uncle's. If you want some ice, go to your aunt to buy it. If you want some water, go to your uncle. Personally, I prefer menstruation's. You can drink water or ice.
This uncle has many dessert shops in Shapowei, four fruit soup. Walking and sitting down to have afternoon tea are unpleasant.
Xiamen University
Fort Huli. They are very close to each other. Go along the island road. There will be aunts selling mangoes on the roadside, which are usually very sweet, 10 yuan, not bad. Shimao Mansion (directly above, not much to say)
Hu Lishan fort
Zeng CuO and Huang CuO regret to tell you that if you want to see the beach and eat snacks, you can only go to Zeng CuO. Huangcuo village is being rebuilt now, and the scenery is no longer there. However, you can watch the sunrise at Huangcuo seaside, but others can't. If you want to experience it, you can come here if you don't like noise.
Huangcuo waterfront is clean, long and beautiful. These are two photos I took casually. Huangcuo village is relatively quiet, and the price of hotels with sea views nearby is ok, around 500. Riding a bike in Zengcuo Village is very enjoyable.
If you eat in Zengcuo _ Village, just have fun (of course, the price is slightly lower), but you must pay attention to freshness and taste. It is said that Class Two, Grade Three is not bad. You can have a try. If you want to experience the life of petty bourgeoisie, you can feel it.
