Excuse me, is there a better and cheaper place to stay when traveling to Xiamen?

1, Xiamen:

It can be said that it is one of the most suitable markets for self-help travel. Self-help travel is one of the fastest developing travel modes in recent years because of its flexibility, self-help, temporality and strong experience. The following are some suggestions for self-help tourism in Xiamen.

2. Recommended quantity:

More than 2 people, so that we can take care of each other during the tour. (However, we have also received many tourists who travel alone and have a hobby. In fact, Xiamen is so romantic, standing on the sand of the sea, listening to MP3 and blowing the sea breeze ... let your imagination play to its fullest, Xiamen belongs to you). Travel preparation: change clothes (swimsuits can be prepared in summer in Xiamen (everyone should pay attention to safety, go to the designated swimming pool, have relevant safety measures, safety first), commonly used drugs, ID cards and other documents. The temperature in Xiamen is high in summer, so a shirt is enough, and so is a lady. The coldest temperature in Xiamen in winter is 8 degrees at night. Two pieces of autumn clothes are enough, and the coldest day is usually above 15 degrees.

3. Preparatory expenses:

It depends on a person's financial situation. No, I don't have any money. Please bring your bank card. All the major banks in Xiamen are interoperable. Atm is available 24 hours a day, and each card can withdraw up to 5000 yuan a day. Don't take too much cash on the trip. The card is safe.

4. Accommodation:

When you go to Xiamen, you must experience the sea rhyme. It is recommended to stay in Gulangyu or a hotel near the sea. Hotels range from two to four stars, and prices range from 120-3000. The May Day, November and Spring Festival in Xiamen are peak seasons, and the rooms are quite tight. However, hotels in Xiamen will be more expensive if they stay directly. It is recommended to book on a large booking website with good reputation (such as eDragon: /hotels/default.aspx? Campaign_id=405 1378 First, select "1 Select City" as "Xiamen", then select "2 check-in and check-out dates", and then click "Find" to change "Arrangement Order:" to "Price" to list hotels available for preferential reservation in Xiamen. Online booking is generally 20% to 70% of the retail price, and online booking does not require any cash in advance. As long as you arrive at the front desk of the hotel on time, you can pay for it free with the card number or order number you just registered. For self-help tours, booking a room in advance has at least three advantages: hotels and restaurants provided by major websites such as eLong are formal, safe and hygienic, and the price is cheaper than direct check-in. After arriving in Xiamen, you don't have to worry about the accommodation problem that night, so you can enjoy it!

5. means of transportation:

How to get there: Xiamen has through trains, civil aviation, steamboats and buses. For details, please check the timetable online.

6. Suggested itinerary:

There are seven regular tourist attractions in Xiamen: Gulangyu Island, Nanputuo, Hu Lishan Fort, Huandao Road, Shiwan Botanical Garden, Haicang Bridge and Jimei Olympic Park.

Generally, it takes Gulangyu a day to finish the trip. Sunlight Rock, in particular, is the first scenic spot in Xiamen and a must-see for tourists coming to Xiamen. There is a saying that "if you don't go to Sunlight Rock in Xiamen, you just don't go to Xiamen". When you climb Sunlight Rock, you can get a panoramic view of Xiamen, and the sea breeze is blowing slowly, so you will definitely forget yourself. On Gulangyu Island, you can see the ancient buildings where Chinese and Western cultures meet, and experience another Gulangyu Island known as "world architecture". Zheng Chenggong's garrison, groundwater level, statues, etc. Dream back to the scene of the national hero of that year. On the island, you can also visit the "folk village" with Minnan customs and culture and watch the "Xiamen Underwater World" of underwater fish. Some friends who come to Xiamen don't go to Xiamen Botanical Garden. I don't think it is recommended. In fact, the scenic spot of Xiamen Botanical Garden is quite good. You can enjoy plants native to Africa, as well as magical plants such as stale fruits and discolored grass. If the number of the group reaches 65,438+00, I will personally show you around Bian Xiao.

Temples in Xiamen: Nanputuo is famous, and other temples, such as Brahma Temple in Xiang 'an District of Xiamen and Qingjiao Ji Zi in Haicang District, can also be visited. Xiamen Island Road is also an indispensable tourist attraction in Xiamen. This tour starts from Fort Hu Lishan, and you can see the world's largest ancient coastal gun. On the road around the island, you can see the longest stone carving in China (named: Gulangyu Wave).

7. Suggested itinerary (for reference only):

Two-day tour of Xiamen Essence: the first day: Gulangyu Island (Sunlight Rock, Folk Spring, Gangzai Houtan, Lu Manor) in the morning, Hao Yueyuan, World Architecture Expo Line and Underwater World in the afternoon.

The next day: morning: Shiwan Botanical Garden, Nanputuo Temple, afternoon: Hu Lishan Fort, Island Road, Convention and Exhibition Center, Jimei Olympic Park.

8. Catering-related:

Xiamen has a lot of seafood, but it's not too expensive. The famous restaurants are: Xianxiang in Xiamen and Kerry seafood. The mid-range ones are: Nanhai Fish Village. The seafood in general food stalls in Xiamen is also good, and it is common on the streets of Xiamen. Personally, I think the famous dishes: Nanputuo vegetarian dishes, bamboo shoots and ice (snacks) are all good and famous. Other seafood can be eaten in other places.

9. Snacks: There are too many snacks in Xiamen, such as Satay noodles, Huang Ze, peanut soup, pancakes, fried oysters, Xiamen fried noodles, spring rolls, horse history and flat food. Bian Xiao, I can't count. If it's convenient, take Gulangyu ferry to Xiamen, and you can eat Huang Ze and snacks on Zhongshan Road.

10. Tourism Monument:

Shopping: The main specialties of Xiamen are Gulangyu Pie (various), golden pine, seafood, dried fruit, tea (oolong tea) and so on. You'd better visit more.

Matters needing attention in traveling and shopping in Xiamen

Go shopping in Xiamen tourist attractions, especially Gulangyu Island. Businessmen peddled along the street one after another, and buyers didn't know which to buy when they first arrived. Come with me. . . . The "basic" specialties purchased in Xiamen are Gulangyu Pie (authentic brand: Riguangyan series products and Jeffery Ji series products) and meat products (Jinxiang series meat floss, authentic only a small shop located in Longtou Road, with the brand of China's time-honored brand hanging at the door. The products of this store have a history of more than 65,438+000 years. Seafood products, pearls and so on can be used by every family, depending on your eye. Shadow sculpture is also a good product, which can be purchased. As for a box of tea in the street 10 yuan, forget it, I won't buy it. Dried longan is mostly made of flour and sugar, so it is not recommended to buy it. Bian Xiao has never bought a good one. Friendly reminder: Look more and choose more, shop around.

Introduction of Xiamen snacks

There are more than 200 kinds of flavor snacks in Xiamen. Among them, salty roasted zongzi, fish ball soup, shrimp noodles, pancakes, taro buns, leek boxes, frozen bamboo shoots, satay noodles, oil onions and fried rye strips are the most durable, while sweets, such as peanut soup, jiaozi soup, candied cakes, oil flowers, fried dates, fried garlic and noodles tea, are the most durable.

Moreover, many famous snacks with traditional characteristics have gradually evolved into exquisite, small, high-grade and diversified dishes, which have leapt to formal banquets and boarded elegant halls.

Spring rolls-Xiamen used to call them "pancakes". According to legend, Cai, a native of Tongan in Ming Dynasty, was also the military affairs of the governor of Yungui and Huguang. He often read official documents all day and was too busy to eat. Mrs. Cai was worried that her husband was hungry for a long time, so she came up with an idea: it was convenient to wrap the vegetables in a noodle bag and let Mr. Cai write with his right hand and eat with his left hand.

This kind of eating method has gradually spread and become a well-known food in southern Fujian. Every family has the habit of eating pancakes on holidays, especially in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Xiamen pancakes are mainly made of bamboo shoots, peas, bean sprouts, vermicelli, dried bean curd, fish, shrimp, diced meat, oysters and carrots. As for all kinds of seasonings, we should mix them properly, but we attach great importance to seasoning with dried flat fish, which makes them crisp and delicious.

Oil onion fruit-Mid-Autumn Festival, commonly known as "July and a half", has an ancient folk custom of worshipping ancestors with salted fruit. Legend has it that when a family steamed this offering, the child opened the steaming spring W, saw the salted fruit half-cooked, thought it was "white and tasteless", and poured a bowl of meat and vegetables into the fruit. After being discovered by adults, "steamed with raw rice." But it tastes good.

As a result, people competed to imitate and evolved from salted onion fruit to oily onion fruit. The method is as follows: beat shredded pork, diced long pepper, fried flat fish or shrimp skin, rice sauce, white sugar, sweet potato powder, scallion, allspice powder and salt into balls, and cook the rice slurry in a bowl.

When you eat it, you should cut it open and put some sand tea sauce, orange juice, garlic paste and radish acid. It tastes flexible and fragrant and delicious.

Frozen bamboo shoots-commonly known as "bamboo shoots", grow in sand mud and look like earthworms on land. Crush it, wash it, boil it, then put it in a small glass rich in gum, cool it and freeze it into small round pieces. When eating, use soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Chili sauce, peanut butter, mustard and garlic as ingredients.

Zhou Lianggong, a native of Henan, praised this ugly but delicious "bamboo shoot" in Xiao Min Ji when he was an official in Fujian in the early Qing Dynasty.

Oyster frying-Oyster frying takes the above-mentioned oyster "Zhu Hao" as the main raw material. Mix the eggs, sweet potato powder and minced garlic evenly, and then fry them in a pot with a proper amount of lard until both sides are crisp and yellow. When eating, garlic paste, sand tea sauce, coriander and so on. Used as ingredients to achieve crisp, delicate and delicious effects. Barbecued pork buns-jiaozi can be seen everywhere, but Xiamen has a unique flavor. It is made by mixing glutinous rice, pork, mushrooms, dried shrimps and chestnuts with oil, wrapping with bamboo leaves and stewing in soup. It's served with sand tea sauce. It's not greasy and delicious.

Leek box-the leek box is made by mixing flour with lard, stuffing pork legs, shrimp, flat fish, water chestnut, leek and mushrooms, wrapping them into cakes like small boxes, kneading the edges into waves and frying them in an oil pan. The stuffing is delicious and the skin is crisp.

Stir-fried noodles, a special dish in Xiamen, was initiated by the original "Quanfulou" and "Shuangquan Restaurant". The cooking method is to fry the superior noodles in a 70% hot oil pan until they are red and yellow, then skim the fat with boiling water for later use, take lean meat, winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms as ingredients, shred and fry until cooked, add flat fish and shrimp into Shaoxing wine, and then fry the fried noodles with the ingredients. Season with sand tea sauce and red hot sauce when eating.

Taro buns-Taro buns are snacks in summer and autumn. Peel and wash areca taro, mash it into raw taro paste, add a little starch and refined salt, stir well, coat the inner wall of the bowl with oil, add stuffing prepared in advance, such as shredded pork, shrimp, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and water chestnut, and cover it with a layer of taro paste. Take it out with a slight buckle, put it on a steaming umbrella, J-scale, add pepper, mustard, sand tea sauce, etc. Which tastes better.

Fried five spices-lean meat with shallots, flat fish, water chestnut, duck eggs, monosodium glutamate, superior soy sauce, sugar and five spices powder. Stir well, roll with bean bags and fry in oil pan until cooked. Cut into small pieces and serve with sand tea sauce. Spicy sauce, mustard, radish acid, coriander and sweet sauce are more delicious.

Peanut soup-Xiamen peanut soup is a kind of peanut soup, which is characterized by removing defective grains, soaking them in boiling water, removing the film, adding water, and boiling them in a casserole with slow fire. You can't add sugar until the peanuts are ripe, and then continue to cook until the peanuts are rotten. At this time, peanuts split in two, floating on the water, rotten but insoluble, juice soluble but water not turbid, oil not greasy, fragrant.

Xiamen's "Huangzehe Peanut Soup" is a representative variety of Xiamen Peanut Soup, which is famous in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Bread paste-Bread paste is a kind of seafood soup cooked with shrimp, oysters and alkene α ⒌. It is delicious, delicious and cooked with noodles. When cooking, you should master the heat, so as to paste without chaos and paste clearly.

In addition to seafood, duck blood or pig blood can also be added to the batter, or a string of pig intestines can be stewed in the batter, so that the oil can be mixed into it. When the intestines are cooked, they can be seasoned with fried dough sticks, fried chopped green onion and chopped pepper, which will make the fragrance stronger and taste more delicious. Third, don't choose expensive ones, just choose the right ones.

Finally, I wish you all a good time in Xiamen!
