Travel Guide from Fuzhou to Xiamen

1. Go to Nanputuo, Xiamen University, and Huandao Road, such as: Xiamen University Baicheng, Hulishan Fort, Taiwan Ethnic Village and Yefeng Village, Botanical Gardens, and Huandao Road. You can rent a bicycle in Baicheng, Xiamen, and ride along the seaside (Huandao Road) to the Convention and Exhibition Center. The scenery is very good and the round trip takes about 2 hours. It won't be expensive to rent a car. The incense in Nanputuo is booming. The entrance fee seems to be 3 yuan. There is Xiamen University in the front, Wulaofeng in the back, and there is also the Mangshi Botanical Garden, which is big enough not to be visited all day long. In the evening, I stayed at Zengcuoan (a family hotel in Zengcuoan Village), which is a distribution center for independent tourists. The key point is that it is close to urban attractions. On the left is the Music Square, Huangcuo Seaside, and Yefengzhai Playground. On the right are Xiamen University, Hulishan Fort, South Putuo, Zhongshan Road, and Gulangyu Island diagonally across the sea (it only takes 5 minutes to take a taxi to the pier, and about 15 minutes by bus). There are many family hotels in Zengcuo Village, but the first one is Oahfang (or Fangfang) Inn. Because it is one of the few inns run by real locals, even the name is pronounced in Minnan dialect. The host family is very enthusiastic and can teach you how to eat and play, how to arrange your itinerary reasonably, and tell you ancient Xiamen stories. 2. Go to Gulangyu Island. When going to Gulangyu Island, you can bring a Gulangyu Island travel souvenir book with instructions on it, or you can go to the store to put an icon on it. Go to Gulangyu Island and come back to collect the boat! Gulangyu Island has four scenic spots: Sunlight Rock, Guzhuang Garden, Hao Yue Garden and Piano Museum. Over 80, but it is said that the price will increase to 150 after July. The island's specialty snacks are fish balls on Longtou Road (10 yuan for 12 large bowls, 6 yuan for 6 small bowls); 11 yuan on Yema; Huang Shengji pie and dental floss. There are also unique buildings and small shops on the street. Hand-drawn maps of Gulangyu Island are sold everywhere as long as you go to the island, so you can ignore the tour guides who solicit customers on the street, and you can ignore the ones who help people take pictures of sculptures on the street. They are very expensive. It is recommended to stay in Gulangyu Island at night. There is a 24-story Pizza Hut on the ferry opposite Gulangyu Island, where you can see the panoramic view of Gulangyu Island.

D1: Arrive in the morning. There is no rush to go to Gulangyu Island. You can start from Zengcuo Village - Xiamen University Baicheng (Hulishan Fort) - Xiamen University - Nan Putuo - Ding'ao Tsai Mao Street - Twin Towers - Zhongshan Road (just have a snack and look at the night view of Zhongshan Road). You can play in the water on the boardwalk in Baicheng, Xiamen University, or ride a bicycle around the island. You can borrow it from Bicycle Co., Ltd. Zhongshan Road is quite beautiful at night. Huang Zehe peanut soup, 1930 roasted pork dumplings, and various Xiamen late-night snacks after 9 pm D2: Gulangyu Island, you can go there around 9:30 am and eat slowly on the island. Tickets are 92-100 yuan, including five attractions, enough for you to spend a day. It is recommended to bring water and snacks. Remember to buy the ferry ticket to Gulangyu Island one day in advance. You can follow the official WeChat account of the Ferry Co., Ltd. and purchase directly online. (Purchasing tickets: Xiamen-Gulou International Cruise Terminal to Neicao/Sanqiu. Neicao is very close to the main attractions. Notes for boarding: Stop checking in 10 minutes before sailing. If you miss the flight, you need to check in before boarding There are many people queuing for security check and check-in. Please arrive at the designated location in advance to avoid delaying the trip. Passengers with a valid ship certificate can take the return flight within 20 days for free. The ship type is not determined and the trip will be invalid. To the island), you must take a boat according to the ticket purchase date, voyage, and location. There is no limit on the return trip (out of the island). Visitors can take the return flight at Sanqiutian Pier or Neicuo'ao Pier, which is open 24 hours. The return flight goes to Xiamen Ferry Terminal (near Zhongshan Road) at 18:40 from June to September. The operating hours of Neicuo'ao Ferry Terminal are 7:20-17:40 (18:40 from June to September). In the evening, we returned to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. The entrance to the Taiwanese snack street is at the bus station of Dukou Post Office. It is recommended to eat less of those snacks, which are fried and easy to get angry. D3: Go to Shiwan Botanical Garden in the morning and Jimei in the afternoon. After playing in School Village and Botanical Garden for almost a whole morning, make sure to recharge your batteries. In the afternoon, you can also go hiking at Jimei Mei Village Aoyuan and Dragon Boat Pond. D4: You can get up later in the morning because you have already visited almost all the main attractions in Xiamen. If you like to visit the vegetable market, you can go to the eight largest vegetable markets in Xiamen and have breakfast there. After breakfast, you can go to Huaxin Road to see the old villas in Xiamen and take photos. Visit the flower and bird market in the second city. You can visit Xiamen Zhongshan Park and buy the famous ginger duck in Baijia Village. Return to the resting place in the afternoon and prepare for the return trip.

Laolv accommodation suggestion: No matter where you stay in Xiamen Island, accommodation is actually very small. As long as transportation is convenient, it is best to stay along the BRT. It is recommended that you stay in the Lianqian West Road area. There are buses for various scenic spots, both inside and outside the island. It is very close to the Xiamen Convention and Exhibition Center and there are several large commercial plazas nearby. The key is that nearby accommodation is cheaper than the crowded Shangzhong Road and Zengcuo Village. When you go out, you don't have to catch buses and taxis with others. PS: If it is a hotel or youth hostel, where can you go? Or Crocodile Dragon has more choices, or direct map location.
