What is delicious in Xiamen? Xiamen Food Guide

Xiamen is located on the coast of Fujian. It has a pleasant climate and unique natural landscape. It is home to the nationally renowned Xiamen University and Gulangyu Island. There are many people who come to Xiamen to travel, but everyone is here for it. When food comes, you need to choose food, which is difficult. Let me share with you the Xiamen food guide.

It’s been a week since I returned from Xiamen, and I finally started to sort out this four-day short trip.

01. Xiamen, this city that I have been thinking about for four years.

From the beginning of the relationship, we agreed to go to this literary city together, to the end of the relationship, I landed at Gaoqi Airport alone.

Turn off your phone, cut off all contact with the outside world, and just be a bystander.

I never think of myself as a tourist. I hold a map, circle the scenic spots I want to visit, and plan my daily itinerary.

I always follow my heart. When I get lost, I ask passers-by, and then continue walking aimlessly.

This is also a kind of fun for me.

On my first night in Xiamen, I booked the Jindi Hotel in Siming District. The taxi from the airport to the hotel cost between 30-40 yuan. Although it was not very expensive, I always felt that Xiamen The taxi meter jumps faster than in Shandong, and there is always the illusion that it costs two yuan every five seconds.

The more than two-hour flight made me drowsy, so I decided to sleep for two hours in the hotel. When I woke up, it was already evening.

Because I was hungry, I wanted to find a restaurant to eat on the roadside, so I walked straight along the road and found a popular Sha Cha Noodles shop within 500 meters. Experience, a place with a lot of people must taste delicious!

When ordering, I was surprisingly embarrassed. Because I couldn’t understand Hokkien, I silently said “Please speak Mandarin” (I almost got cancer from embarrassment) .

Then I discovered that this meaty dish is really free!

You can choose to add food to the satay noodles. Because of poor communication and fear of trouble others, I only added thin Meat.

The plain noodles are 8 yuan, and the meat is 2 yuan, but I think this meat is really more than 2 yuan!

With my own skills in finding delicious food, I found nothing wrong.

Later I talked about this shop with a local friend, and he said that this is the second most delicious Shacha noodles in Xiamen!

After dinner, we walked back along the road. When we were at the hotel, all the luxury cars were parked on the roadside, which made me doubt my life.

If you have enough energy, go to Zengcuo to feel the cultural atmosphere and ride along the Huandao Road. If the weather is good, you may even be able to overlook Taiwan.

And I spent all of it sleeping.

02. Went to Dingaozi Cat Street early the next morning.

This is Ding Ao Zai, which is located next to the west gate of Xiamen University. I went to see it because of the recommendation online, but after looking at it, I found that it was not as worth seeing as mentioned. Only the entrance has some features.

After entering the alley, just like the graffiti streets in every city, the theme of this street is cats. It takes less than three minutes to reach the end. The alley is a residential area, so the street There will be fruit and snack shops nearby.

Walk out of Cat Street and walk to Nanputuo Temple.

Nanputuo Temple should have a very important status in the hearts of citizens. You must take off your hat when entering the temple. Opposite the temple is the place where you can receive incense, which can be received for free.

The Buddha statue in Nanputuo Temple is the most beautiful I have ever seen. It is shining with gold and it shows that it has been carefully maintained.

Pilgrims who came in droves crossed the wooden threshold, kowtowed and prayed with the most pious hearts.

I didn’t know what to pray for, so I climbed to the top silently. I wanted to overlook the entire city, but the trees were too thick and blocked the view.

Next door to Nanputuo Temple is the Zen Yuan, which is supposed to be a place where monks study. We cannot enter.

Listening to the devout believers chanting Buddhist scriptures, I stared blankly at the door. My whole heart felt much quieter and my thoughts became clearer.

After leaving Nanputuo Temple, I went to Xiamen University, which is said to be the best place for falling in love.

Because the large number of tourists affects daily teaching, Xiamen University has concentrated its open days on weekends. Everyone has to queue up from the main entrance to swipe their ID cards to enter.

The unique names of each scenic spot such as Shangxian Field, Furong Lake, Lover’s Valley, and Furong Tunnel reveal sweetness and tenderness.

This is the playground where "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" was filmed. The auditorium behind it is said to be the filming location of Elliston Business School.

Sitting on the steps and watching the people running on the playground, looking from a distance, I saw lush trees surrounding the entire playground.

Suddenly I want to go back to school and make up for the most beautiful love on campus that I have lost.

I like the long hibiscus tunnel, the graffiti-covered walls of dreams, and the emotions that express my heart.

Each painting reflects a professional experience, and each painting reflects the helplessness of a grade, whether it is busyness, hesitation, or parting before graduation.

I like the dazzling night sky facade, but there are too many people coming and going, so I can only take it in my eyes.

Lunch was hastily arranged at the restaurant at the International Cruise Terminal. It was really expensive and tasteless, and I would not recommend eating there.

03. The ferry from Dongdu Wharf to Gulangyu Island takes 20 minutes, and the ferry from Piano Wharf only takes five minutes. However, with the increasing number of tourists, Piano Wharf has been converted into a private wharf for citizens.

But if you want to return to Xiamen at night, you can set off 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. Looking at the sparkling sea, the ship rowed across and brought up layers of waves.

Looking at the small island that seems not far away, passing by the egret breeding base, and looking at the cross-sea bridge on one side, everything is so exciting and cautious.

Gulangyu is an independent island accessible only by water. The first step you take on it gives you the illusion of being far away from the world.

Along the winding streets, you can see the traditional temples with raised eaves and corners, the courtyard bungalows in the Southern Fujian style, the small and exquisite Japanese houses, the original national consulate in the 19th century European style, and the Jiangnan classical style Shu. Zhuang Garden seems to have suddenly traveled back to the original era.

I will definitely get lost in the criss-crossing streets, but that’s the fun.

Walking through the streets and alleys of who knows where, I went to every small shop and got a stamp by the way. It is worth mentioning that every shop in Gulangyu Island has its own seal.

I always like to do these seemingly boring and time-wasting things.

There are too many literary and artistic shops near the family hotel where I live. I went to buy a box of Su Xiaotang, sit on the cinnamon lotus and drink a cup of scented tea, and listen to people coming and going telling their stories. Ridiculing the difference between my hometown and this one, I went to Sansheng Youxin to write a letter that could not be sent.

Walking around slowly and leisurely, you may make new and different discoveries.

After walking the same road for so many times, I finally got tired.

Every household here likes to drink tea. Uncle Wang, whom I met on the island, always says, come to my house for tea.

I was like a headless fly and couldn't find any street or alley, but I could always hear the melodious sound of the piano. There were so many famous music families in Xiamen that it seemed like I was in trouble.

In the end, Uncle Wang found me personally and took me to drink tea.

Five or six people sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting together, talking about their troubles, talking about their ideal life, and listening to others bragging without revealing it even if they smiled.

I can’t understand all the soft Hokkien, but I just like this illusion of isolation.

At ten o'clock in the evening on Gulangyu Island, the lively scene has faded away. The Qing Bar passing by will invite you to have a cocktail. If you are beautiful, you will get 50% off, so you can eat according to your appearance. !

I didn’t want to go in at first, but then the melody of "Once Upon a Time" came from inside. By some mistake, I took a step forward, sat down, and listened quietly to the resident singer singing the song. A familiar song.

Stepping out of Qingba, the quiet night has completely faded away from the noise of the day.

You can buy a pass for 100 yuan for Gulangyu's attractions. If you just want to go to a place you like, there is no need to buy a pass, but I highly recommend going to Sunlight Rock.

Back at the hotel, I set the alarm clock and wanted to see the sunrise on Gulangyu Island before leaving.

Check that tomorrow’s sunrise is 5:28, set the alarm clock for 4:30, and go to sleep peacefully.

04. I woke up early in the morning and happily looked for the way to Sunlight Rock. Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I found that the door opened at 5:30. How could I watch the sunrise like this?

Personal viewing day Most of the people who went out moved to the beach to watch the sunrise. I still wanted to stand on a high place and overlook the entire Gulangyu Island, so I decided to wait for it to open.

The attractions should be half-price before six o'clock. The 60 yuan ticket is 30 yuan. I started climbing as soon as the doors opened, and I reached the top of the mountain in five minutes.

More accurate data: Sunlight Rock is 92.7 meters above sea level and is the highest peak on Gulangyu Island.

It’s not a high mountain top, but the scenery is really beautiful, so beautiful that you don’t want to leave.

On Gulangyu Island in the early morning, there are no passers-by. The lazy atmosphere permeates the entire island. Watch the sun peek out from the gaps in the clouds, revealing a golden shimmer, illuminating the entire sky and the entire island. Just like a newborn baby, you have a 360-degree view.

I passed by the morning market and took breakfast before going back to the hotel to catch up on my sleep.

Since last night, Uncle Wang has been saying that my physical condition is too poor and I feel tired after walking even a little. He tried his best to prevent me from sleeping, so he continued to disturb my sleep.

"Why did you fall asleep again? Have you finished shopping?"

"I went to watch the sunrise. If I don't sleep well, I have no energy."

"Stop sleeping, go buy me Shenjia rice rolls for breakfast."

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that this is a roll rice roll that is highly rated online. I also wanted to buy it, so I got up and went to look for it. .

It turned out that there was a whole street lined up to take pictures!!!

While waiting in line obediently, Uncle Wang silently bought two copies from the side of the window!!

As expected, the locals are familiar and easy to talk to.

Using this familiar skill, it is really convenient to eat and drink together.

I bought an oyster omelette at the corner. This is the best food I have ever eaten here, bar none!!!

The uncle of the oyster omelette is proud of it. I am very proud that his delicious food has been spread by many newspapers. I like this kind of enthusiasm between strangers. There is a strong communication in the light friendship.

Leave Gulangyu Island by ferry at noon, return to Xiamen, and have lunch on Zhongshan Road, the oldest street in Xiamen.

Due to the BRIC meeting, Zhongshan Road should be renovated. There are scaffolding everywhere. It was difficult to find an old restaurant. After eating, I started to look for the Eight Granny Shao Xiancao recommended by everyone. , the result was a power outage.

I passed by the street that I thought would be a lively scene.

05. After taking about two hours of driving to Dongshan Island, I heard that this is the filming location of "The Left Ear".

I still remember crying when I read "The Left Ear" in college because of a broken love, and ended up coming here alone.

The scenery in Dongshan is much more beautiful than that in Xiamen.

Xiamen is a place for literature and art among the crowds, looking for quietness in the bustling city, while 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 connection between the sky and the water, the blue seascape, and the low-key beauty of the ancient alleys penetrated into my skin like cracks.

I suddenly felt that I was extremely insignificant. The so-called unsatisfactory career and emotional ups and downs were just a passing cloud.

I suddenly understood why Master Hongyi suddenly abandoned the world and became a monk. I suddenly understood why so many people resigned on the road.

In the beautiful scenery of mountains, rivers and lakes, among the rushing people, you can see any scenery you want to see, even if you are alone.

I stayed at the Windsor Hotel in Dongshan in the evening. The environment is very good, but I always feel that there are a lot of bugs. Maybe it is like this in the whole of Fujian. 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 read "Left Ear" again.

I decisively overslept the next day, packed my luggage in a hurry, and went to the Fengdong Stone Scenic Area. It is said that this is the stone where Sun Wukong was born.

There is a Guandi Temple in the scenic area. The exterior decoration is extremely exquisite. It is said that this is a very spiritual temple. Many local entrepreneurs donate a lot of incense money every year.

I wholeheartedly asked for a marriage sign, which finally solved my obsession.

I remember it is often said on the Internet that there is no book you read in vain, no person you love in vain, and no road you walk in vain. All experiences will make you what you are now.

I hope to become a better version of myself.

Looking forward to sharing the next stop of the trip with you.
