Weekend Tour for Couples in Xiamen (Gulangyu Island) (1)

In February 65438, Mr. D and I only had one weekend to rest, and they decided to go to Xiamen.

This is the place we want to go on National Day, but it is quite late for my 1 1 holiday.

Coupled with too many people, it is difficult to book a hotel, and the price of air tickets has soared.

During our trip to Xiamen, we decided to spend most of our time in Gulangyu and half a day in Xiamen University in the city.

65438+Leave for the airport after work on the evening of February 7th.

The plane ticket is booked to take off at 2 1: 55 pm, and the flight time (Nanjing Lukou International Airport-Xiamen Gaoqi Airport) is one and a half hours. As a result, I met with air traffic control and took off at 22: 30. Plans can never keep up with changes. As the departure time is delayed by half an hour, the arrival time will also be delayed by half an hour. The plane arrived in Xiamen at 0 a.m.

We could have taken a taxi (half an hour) to the nearest Xiamen Ferry Terminal and then took the last passenger ship to Gulangyu Ferry Terminal, but we certainly couldn't catch the last passenger ship at 00: 30. Call mulberry heart! Think about it. Of course, it is best to take a passenger ship. Cheap and safe. The price of 8 yuan/person is too fair. We had to take a taxi from 54 yuan to another distant pier and take a private ferry. This little ferry price pit. Originally, two people only needed to spend 16 yuan to buy a ticket, so it became 80 yuan! Well, don't be too expensive. This is still the price after bargaining. It used to cost us 100 yuan to walk on water for five minutes. (PS: The person we asked is a secondary dealer. In fact, if you can directly find the boss of the small ferry, it can be about half cheaper. )

Note: Gulangyu Ferry Terminal is not Gulangyu Ferry Terminal, but Gulangyu Sanqiutian Ferry Terminal. The distance between the two piers is about 500 meters. The island is not big, so the distance is easy to say.

Xiamen Gaoqi Airport

Waiting in line for a taxi (about 5-8 minutes)

Xiamen's driver's seat is not separated by guardrail. Presumably, law and order is ok.

It was the local janitor who told us that the price of the boat was 100 yuan (80 yuan after bargaining). He was surprised. How did we know there was a boat going to that island? There is no 320 silver here. How can you earn your private money without us? Well, this news is thanks to the strategy of enthusiastic donkey friends on the Internet. It is still necessary for Mr. D to do his homework in advance.

This is what a passenger ship looks like.

This is our boat.

It's really scary at night ~ ~ I'm trying to smile to hide my inner fear ~ ~ ~

It took us five minutes to reach Gulangyu. When we got off the boat, we met two local people. They were very friendly. They not only helped us with our luggage, but also took a shortcut to the hotel.

We booked a BB deluxe big bed room online at the price of 320 yuan/night.

The night on the island is very quiet and dark ~ look around the whole environment, it is still clean! Gulangyu Island in June+February, 5438 is still a little cold, so you need to wear a thicker coat.

Fortunately, there were two locals chatting with them along the way, and they were not afraid. They walked for about 15 minutes, passed through a bomb shelter and arrived at the hotel.

It was sunny on February 8, 65438.

The biggest advantage of free travel is that you can sleep until you wake up naturally. For travelers, adequate sleep is very important.

Although I missed the western breakfast in the hotel, it doesn't matter, because Gulangyu has nothing to worry about, and an empty stomach is for better food.

Let's talk about eating first

(1) Jin Baoyin, a special snack in Xiamen, is the first Xiamen snack I have ever eaten! Because they are sold almost every few tens of meters by the roadside. The thick skin is glutinous rice ~ the stuffing inside is bamboo shoots, mushrooms, minced meat and so on. Maybe it's because I didn't drink water when I got up ~ It tastes so ordinary, and I haven't bought it since ~

(2) Wan Yu, Lin Ji-Location: No.54, Quanzhou Road.

But after our "identification", it is indeed the most authentic fish ball shop on the island.

It tastes really good, there is almost no extra starch, and the soup is very rich!

My husband, Mr. D's favorite!

(3) Lin Ji meat dumplings-it tastes sweet, and has more stuffing than we usually eat, such as shrimp and chestnuts.

(4) Fried spiced-this is a Xiamen-style snack, with pork belly as the main ingredient, cut into rectangular pieces, served with sliced flat fish, shallots and water chestnuts, evenly mixed with potato powder, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce and spiced powder, then rolled into sticks with bean skin, fried in an oil pan until golden brown, and cut into small pieces horizontally after taking out. The red sauce tastes a little fishy, so you don't need to dip it.

(5) Spring rolls-vegetarian rolls, suitable for people who like vegetarianism. If you like meat, you can try it.

(6) Oyster cake-similar to radish cake, but with oysters inside.

The four prices are 16 yuan.

(7) Konka Longtou Oyster-Location: Longtou Road 189

It is said on the Internet that this fried oyster is super delicious. There are so many people waiting in line at the super street restaurant that I am particularly touched. I guess they all came for this famous house. A husband of 10 stood in line, and I went to an unknown booth next door to buy a squid tofu. I found it delicious by accident!

It's this. The boss is slow in cooking. Things are neatly arranged and washed clean. Although the business is not particularly prosperous, there is almost no gap.

(8) Mark Cheese Potato Shop-No.47 Quanzhou Road

This is not a Xiamen snack, but a franchise store. I ordered luxury cheese. 19 yuan.

Although it tastes good, it is not a local specialty. You can eat such things anywhere.

(9) Satay Noodles: Cook duck heart, duck intestines, duck tendons, meatballs, lean meat, shrimps, pork loin and other ingredients with sand tea soup, then buckle them on the cooked water and pour them with sand tea soup. This bowl of 20 yuan is terrible! Fortunately, I only ordered one bowl.

Well, what I can describe is that it is too dull.

If the taste is as strong as mine, don't eat this, or you will be disappointed.

(10) Seafood-There is a sentence written on all the raiders: Never eat seafood in Gulangyu!

Well, I have this idea. I haven't eaten and I can't give you any advice. But the cooked food looks stale, and the price is definitely a bit pitted.

(1 1) Yemasi is located at the fork of Longtou Road in Gulangyu Island (it is said to have a history of one hundred years).

Black 10 yuan/bag, 10 pieces/bag; Forgot the white name, 10 yuan/bag, 5 per bag.

Black glutinous rice cake is wrapped in stuffing made of peanuts, black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds and sugar powder, then kneaded into a ball and rolled with a layer of black sesame powder.

Don't eat too much when snacks are good, you will be hungry.

Let's compare two groups of old shops: Lin Ji VS Yuanxiangkou.

(12) The original fish balls in the alley-10 yuan/bowl, the same as those in Lin Ji.

The fish balls in Lin Ji are above, and the fish balls in the original hutong are below.

Personally, I think the soup is almost the same, but in terms of taste, Lin Ji is a little more powerful ~ better!

(13) original delicious meat dumplings-price 6 yuan/piece, Lin Ji 8 yuan/piece.

Above is Lin Ji's minced meat jiaozi, and below is the original hutong's minced meat jiaozi.

Personally, in terms of taste, Lin Ji is more delicious ~ it is reasonable to spend two more pieces!

(14) Miss Zhao's shop-No.298, Longtou Road, Gulangyu

My colleague once gave me a box of Zhao's pie when I was traveling, but I have forgotten what it tastes like. My heart is full of Wang Ji's pies I ate when I was a child. Hehe, my husband ordered some back and forth from the hotel on the gift network. Very convenient. You don't have to carry your bag directly to your home. The best products in this shop are several vegetarian pies customized by Miss Zhao's shop-mung bean pie/red bean pie/honey pomelo pie/pineapple cake. I like mung beans and mung bean cakes best. The taste is mild, but the others are too sweet.

(15) Fengcheng Lilai Cake Shop-Location: Quanzhou Road.

This store will not be introduced. Although the name is cake shop, the best food is actually his bacon.

45-49 yuan/Jin, a little expensive, but delicious. Recommend some to try. We bought juice and garlic. Garlic tastes better.

(16) large intestine enclosing small intestine-15 yuan/piece.

This is a famous snack in Taiwan Province province, but it is not a specialty of Xiamen. A little sticky rice, wrapped in sausage, a little greasy at last, but quite full ~

My husband ate genuine food from Taiwan Province Province and asked the boss if this size has shrunk by half. The boss smiled a little embarrassed ~

We observed that all the shops in Gulangyu, even those in downtown Xiamen, have the same size of intestines, indicating that this is an improved version. Hehe ~ ~

(17) almond paper-10 yuan/bag, 3 pieces each.

As the name implies, it is as thin as a piece of paper, but it tastes good ~ you can buy it as a snack and chew it.

Next is drinking.

Speaking of Gulangyu Island, I believe everyone will think of "Zhang Sanfeng" milk tea.

First of all, let me show you a comment I extracted from the internet:

"Zhang Sanfeng milk tea-absolutely deceptive, 20 yuan a cup, not good to drink! There is no milk smell, no tea smell, and a few almonds are floating, which smells strange. Gulangyu freshly squeezed juice-it's really true. We spent 10 yuan to buy a glass of mango orange juice, all of which were squeezed from fruit, without adding water or sugar. "

So, we didn't rush to buy drinks first, but waited for a while. Finally, we bought two bottles of "Huajian" and "Alice's Poetry" milk tea to taste, mainly because we took a fancy to the shapes of his two bottles: a cat and a dog.

In the shop, you can scribble your thoughts on porcelain bottles with markers for free, and then take them back as permanent souvenirs ~ But we both agreed that the primary colors were beautiful, so we bought milk tea and left without staying in the shop for long ~

Price 20 yuan/bottle (including milk tea), buy two bottles of 35 yuan.

The slogan goes like this: buy a bottle of milk tea and get one free.

Many people, including me, agree with this sentence. If you buy a bottle of milk tea instead, it should be less attractive, right? Hehe, this is the importance of good advertising language.

There is another store with the same name as the above two stores, called Pan Xiaolian Yogurt, which is next door to Zhang Sanfeng.

One of us bought the famous mango yogurt (that is, some fresh mangoes were added to the yogurt).

One bought plain yogurt, which was very rich and really delicious! It is worth recommending!

Local residents told us that the above three stores are actually the same owner.

If it is true, then their marketing model is really worth learning ~ ~

The net is so successful ~!

It's simply a petty bourgeoisie concentration camp ~

This brightly colored kettle contains all kinds of juice, not freshly squeezed, but mixed with water.

My husband liked this kettle very much, but later he didn't buy it because there was no place to put it.

Made an exciting coke instead of ~

We didn't buy the freshly squeezed juice on the Internet.

Because I am pregnant every time I pass by, there is really no place to store juice. Regret.

Gulangyu's drama

To put it bluntly, it is leisurely walking around the island, visiting various petty bourgeoisie shops and taking photos at will.

Feel the slow life here.

Almost every small shop sells local postcards.

Every place with a shop name on the island will have stamps, which will be provided to tourists free of charge as souvenirs.

This is not bad. It is not only a free advertisement for merchants, but also promotes the sales of postcards and maps.

We bought a copy in a shop called Shrimp House. 15 yuan/Ben (13 Ben) to friends and family, and of course you can also write to yourself. You can put it in the red mailbox after writing. The clerk said that their mailbox was emptied once a week.

Then I bought two T-shirts in a shop selling nutcracker wood toys.

50 yuan/piece, the material is not bad, it looks good to wear. I bought a T-shirt with my husband:)

There are many shops that look almost the same. It's hard to say which one has just been there ~ ~

Hehe, just stroll until your legs are soft ~

There are also some scenic spots on Gulangyu Island. The ticket office provides joint ticket sales, and the joint ticket 100 yuan includes Riguangyan, Guzhuang Garden (including Piano Museum), Hao Yue Garden, Organ Museum and Seal Carving Museum. Of course, you can also buy coupons online, cheap 10 yuan, price: 90 yuan. After a survey, I found that there was nothing to see in those scenic spots, so I only bought tickets for Shen Manor at the price of 30 yuan/Zhang. (If you have a student ID card, you can also have it at half price. )

In fact, I wanted to go to Sunlight, but I gave up when I saw that I had to climb a very high mountain and thought of walking with almost "disabled" legs for a day!

Speaking of [music]

I think we have always been very happy ~

First of all, going to your favorite place with your beloved is a great pleasure in life ~

When we saw this nostalgic watch, we were all ecstatic.

Because my husband once bought this toy in Beijing 798, and many friends liked it after returning home. They all said they liked it very much.

Gulangyu Island is sold everywhere, with prices ranging from 15 to 30 yuan.

The lowest price 15 yuan is also the cheapest I have ever seen.

When I went down the mountain, I saw a super cute Macey dog.

Will be sold by the owner, alas, it's a pity ~ ~ ~

Stamp addiction shows that you want to own a stamp.

My husband spent 65 yuan to get a whole one, hehe, 10 minutes.

We write it on postcards and send it to our friends. )

The day of eating, drinking and having fun ended so beautifully ~ ~ ~
