It's been a week since I came back from Xiamen, and I finally started to organize this four-day short trip.
0 1, Xiamen, a city I have been thinking about for four years.
From the beginning of my love affair, I agreed that two people would go to this literary city together, and at the end of my love affair, I landed at Gao Qi airport alone.
Turn off your cell phone, cut off all contact with the outside world, and just be a bystander.
I never think of myself as a tourist, holding a map, circling the scenic spots I want to go and arranging my daily itinerary.
I always follow my heart, ask passers-by when I get lost, and then continue to walk aimlessly.
This is also a pleasure for me.
On my first night in Xiamen, my hotel booked the Di Chin Hotel in Siming District. The taxi from the airport to the hotel is between 30 and 40 yuan. Although it is not very expensive, I always feel that the taxi meter in Xiamen jumps faster than that in Shandong, and there is always the illusion of jumping two dollars in five seconds.
The flight of more than two hours made me sleepy. I decisively slept in the hotel for two hours, and it was already night when I woke up.
Because I was hungry, I wanted to find a roadside shop to eat, so I went straight along the road and found a popular shop in Satay Noodles within 500 meters. With my many years of life experience, a crowded place must be delicious!
When ordering, I was surprisingly embarrassed. Because I didn't understand Minnan, I silently said "Please speak Mandarin" (embarrassing cancer is going to happen).
Then I found that this meat is really free!
Satay noodles can choose their own dishes. Because of poor communication, I was afraid of giving others trouble, so I added lean meat.
Plain noodles 8 yuan, 2 yuan with meat, but I think this meat is really more than two yuan!
I really didn't use my ability to find food to find the wrong one.
Later, I talked to a local friend about this store, and he said it was the second best satay noodle in Xiamen!
After dinner, when I walked back to the hotel along the road, all the luxury cars stopped at the side of the road, and I had doubts about life.
If you have enough energy, go to Zengcuo _ to feel the cultural atmosphere, ride a bike along the island road, the weather is sunny, and maybe you can overlook Taiwan Province Province.
I spent all this in my sleep.
02. Early the next morning, I went to He Vivi Street in Ding 'ao.
This is Ding 'ao Tsai, next to the west gate of Xiamen University. Because I recommended it on the internet, but after reading it, I found that it didn't seem so worth seeing, only the entrance had some characteristics.
After entering the street, just like the graffiti street in every city, the theme of this street is cats, and it will end in less than three minutes. The alley is a residential area, so there will be shops selling fruits and snacks on the street.
Go out of Mao Jie and walk to Nanputuo Temple.
Nanputuo Temple should be very important in the hearts of citizens. When you enter the temple, you must take off your hat. It is a place where you can get incense, and you can get it for free.
The Buddha statue in Nanputuo Temple is the most beautiful I have ever seen. It sparkles. At first glance, the maintenance is very careful.
Crowds of pilgrims crossed the wooden threshold and kowtowed and prayed with the most sincere hearts.
I didn't know what to pray for, so I climbed to the top silently. I want to overlook the whole city, but the trees are too lush, blocking my view.
Next door to Nanputuo Temple is a Buddhist temple, which should be a place for monks to study. We can't go in there.
Listening to the devout believers singing Buddhist scriptures, I quietly looked at the door and waited for a while. The whole mind was quiet and my thoughts were clear.
After leaving Nanputuo Temple, I went to Xiamen University, which is said to be the most suitable place for dating.
Xiamen University concentrated the open day on the weekend because many tourists affected daily teaching, and everyone had to queue up from the main entrance to brush their ID cards before entering.
The unique names of Shangxianchang, Furong Lake, Lover Valley and Furong Tunnel reveal sweetness and gentleness.
This is the playground where Meteor Shower was filmed, and the auditorium in the back is said to have been filmed by Elliston Business School.
Sitting on the steps watching people running on the playground, from a distance, lush trees surround the whole playground.
I suddenly want to go back to school and make up for the most beautiful campus love I lost.
I like the long lotus tunnel, like the dream of graffiti all over the wall, and like to express my inner feelings.
Every painting reflects a professional experience, and every painting shows the helplessness of a grade, whether it is busy, hesitant or leaving before graduation.
I like the dazzling night sky wall, but there are so many people coming and going that I can only take it into my eyes.
Lunch at noon was hastily settled in the restaurant of the international cruise terminal. It's really expensive and not delicious, so it's not recommended to eat in it.
03. The ferry from Du Dong Pier to Gulangyu Island takes 20 minutes, and the piano pier only takes 5 minutes. However, with more and more tourists, the piano pier has become a citizen-only pier.
But if you want to go back to Xiamen at night, you can start from the piano pier, which only takes five minutes ~
If there are not many people, you can board the second floor of the cruise ship and watch the sparkling sea. The ship will cross layers of waves.
Looking at the seemingly close island, passing by the breeding base of egrets and overlooking the sea-crossing bridge on one side, everything is so exciting and cautious.
Gulangyu Island is an independent island, which can only be reached by water. When I set foot on it, I had an illusion of being far away from the world.
Along the winding streets and lanes, looking at the traditional temples with upturned cornices, quadrangles with Minnan style, small and exquisite Japanese houses, the former national consulate with European style in the19th century, and the Zhuang garden with classical style in the south of the Yangtze River, it seems to have crossed back to the original era at once.
I'm sure I'll get lost in the crisscross streets, but that's the fun.
Shuttle through unfamiliar streets and alleys, and go to every small shop to stamp. It is worth mentioning that every shop in Gulangyu has its own seal.
I always like to do these seemingly boring and time-wasting things.
There are too many art shops near my family hotel. I went to buy a box of Su Xiaotang, sat and drank a cup of scented tea, listened to people coming and going telling their stories, poking fun at the difference in my hometown, and went to Sansheng to write an undeliverable letter.
Walking around slowly, maybe there will be new and different discoveries.
I don't know how many times I walked the same road, but I was tired at last.
Every family here likes drinking tea. Uncle Wang, whom I met on the island, has a mantra that he comes to my house for tea.
Like a headless fly, I can't find any streets or alleys at all, but I can always hear the melodious sound of the piano. There are many musical families in Xiamen, which is really ugly.
Finally, Uncle Wang found the lost one himself and took it to tea.
Five or six people were sitting in the yard, drinking tea and chatting together, talking about their troubles and their ideal life, listening to others blowing calves, without a smile.
I can't understand the soft Minnan dialect, but I just like this illusion of isolation.
At night 10, all the lively scenes in Gulangyu will fade away. The pub passing by will treat you to a cocktail. You can get 50% off if you are beautiful, and you can eat according to your face!
I didn't want to go in at first, but then the melody of Storybrooke came out, so I took a step, sat down and quietly listened to the resident singer finish singing the familiar song.
Out of the clear sky, the quiet night has completely faded away from the noise of the day.
Gulangyu scenic spot can buy a pass for 100. If you just want to go where you like, there is no need to buy a pass, but I strongly recommend going to Sunshine Rock.
Go back to the hotel, set the alarm clock, and want to see the sunrise in Gulangyu before departure.
Check that the sunrise tomorrow is 5: 28, the alarm clock is set at 4: 30, and go to bed.
When I woke up in the morning, I was glad to find the way to Sunshine Stone. Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I found that the door opened at 5: 30. What do you think of the sunrise?
Most people who watch the sunrise in the same industry move to the seaside to watch the sunrise. I still want to stand high and overlook the whole Gulangyu Island, so I decided to wait for it to open.
It should be that all the scenic spots before six o'clock are half price, and the tickets for 60 yuan are only for 30 yuan. After opening the door, I began to climb the mountain, and I reached the top of the mountain in five minutes.
More accurate data: Sunlight Rock is 92.7 meters above sea level, the highest peak in Gulangyu Island.
It's not a very high mountain top, but the scenery is really beautiful, too beautiful to let people leave.
In Gulangyu in the morning, there is not a passer-by, and the lazy breath permeates the whole island. Watching the sun come out from the cracks in the clouds, revealing golden light, illuminating the whole sky. The whole island is like a newborn baby, with a 360-degree view.
Passing through the morning market, I brought breakfast back to the hotel to catch up on sleep.
Since last night, Uncle Wang has been whispering that my physique is too poor, and I am tired when I walk. I try not to sleep and continue to disturb my sleep.
"Why did you fall asleep again? Have you finished buying it? "
"I went to see the sunrise. I didn't sleep well. I have no spirit. "
"Don't sleep, go and buy me rice rolls for breakfast."
I thought for a moment, this is a rice rolls which is highly appraised on the Internet. I also wanted to buy something to eat, so I got up and looked for it.
It turns out that this family lined up to shoot a street! ! !
While waiting in line, Uncle Wang silently bought two copies from the next window! !
Sure enough, the locals are familiar and easy to talk to.
With this ability to mix faces, it is really convenient to mix and eat.
I bought a fried oyster on the street corner, which is the best I have ever eaten here. Nothing! ! !
Uncle Fried Oysters proudly recommended many newspapers to spread his food. I'm very proud. I like the enthusiasm between strangers, and there is strong communication in the faint friendship.
Leave Gulangyu Island by ferry at noon, return to Xiamen, and have lunch at Zhongshan Road, the oldest street in Xiamen.
Because of the BRICS meeting, Zhongshan Road has to be renovated, and scaffolding is everywhere, so it is difficult to find old shops. After eating, I began to look for the grass recommended by everyone, and there was no electricity.
The street that I thought would be a lively scene passed by.
05. It took about two hours to get to Dongshan Island by car. I heard that this is the shooting place of the left ear.
I still remember that I cried in my left ear because of lovelorn in college, and finally I came here alone.
The scenery in Dongshan is much more beautiful than that in Xiamen.
Xiamen is a popular literature and art. Looking for peace in downtown, Dongshan is really quiet. There are not many tourists on the road, and the only people are locals.
I don't know how to describe such a clean sea and such a beautiful scenery.
Looking at the endless sea water, the subtle transition between heaven and water, the blue seascape and the low-key beauty of ancient incense, penetrated into my skin like cracks.
I suddenly feel very small, the so-called career is not smooth, emotional ups and downs, are just passing away.
I suddenly understood why Master Hongyi suddenly died and became a monk. I suddenly understood why so many people quit their jobs and went on the road.
In the beautiful scenery of mountains, rivers and lakes, in the people coming and going, go to see any scenery you want to see, even if it is a person.
In the evening, I stayed at the Windsor Hotel in Dongshan. The environment is very good, but I always feel that there will be many bugs. Maybe the whole Fujian is like this. I may not be used to it in the north.
But this hotel is still worth recommending.
06. Lying in bed at night, I silently brushed my left ear again.
The next day, I decisively overslept, packed my luggage in a hurry and went to the Fengdong Stone Scenic Area, which is said to be the stone where the Monkey King was born.
There is a Guandi Temple in the scenic area, which is beautifully decorated. It is said that it is a very spiritual temple, and many local entrepreneurs donate a lot of incense money every year.
I earnestly asked for a wedding sign, which also solved my trouble.
I remember it is often said on the Internet that there are no books to read for nothing, no people to love for nothing, and no roads to walk for nothing. All my experiences will make me who I am now.
I hope to be a better self.
I look forward to sharing my next trip with you.
