Where to play in Xiamen? Xiamen travel guide

I live inland, not in a coastal city. When you look up, you can always see the dense jungle. There are four distinct seasons throughout the year. I like this climate, but I'm also curious about the unknown. So I came to Xiamen this time. Although I can't swim, it's wonderful to see the blue sea and blue sky.

(1) Blue sky, beach, astringent seawater Blue sky, beach and astringent seawater, these three combinations are beautiful and comfortable just by imagination. As long as you go to the seaside, you can't help but take off your shoes and step on the waves, even if you step on the sand, it is very troublesome. wave

The sky reflects the blue of the sea. When it is gray, the sea is unhappy. During our stay in Xiamen, we could hardly see the blue sky, but it rained a lot. Just before the last day of departure, we sat on the beach not far from the hotel for a long time and took a few more looks. This is the best day in the weather. When the sun came out, the sky became bluer. I think the sea seems to be bluer in the blink of an eye. The blue sky and the sea are a perfect match.

Dry sand is soft and will burn your feet after drying. The sand hit by the waves is dark and a little hard, but the dry sand will leave a pit when it passes, and the wet sand will leave my footprints when it passes. There are many shells in the sand, and many shells are trapped on the rocks by the sea.

(2) Riding around the island at night &; When Zeng CuO _ came to Xiamen, he had to mention Xiamen Island Road. Under the broad blue sky, rows of coconut trees on the roadside. Unlike the greening of inland cities, coconut trees are tall and strong. The straight trunk grows towards the blue sky, and several wide and long leaves emerge under the blue sky. On the other side is the beach and the sea. The whole picture is pure and broad-minded. The quiet scenery is there, and the people who see it are relaxed even if there is any stagnation in their hearts.

Roundabout roadside

Cycling around the island was included in the travel plan, but it was repeatedly put on hold because of continuous rain or other reasons. The night before the trip ended, I finally got rid of this regret.

Zengcuo _

After returning from Xiamen University in the heavy rain, she had a long rest in the hotel. Sister Weiwei changed her visa in advance because of the school, leaving the three of us to continue to complete the final plan. At night, Zeng CuO's lights were dim, almost all of them were eaten, and the alley was long and narrow, misty and rainy. Smoke is the "human fireworks" overflowing from snack bars on both sides of the road, and the rain is intermittent and intermittent.

Food in coastal cities

Someone is peddling in your ear along the way. There must be seafood on the street where there is food in coastal cities. The lobster in front of the shop is hot and red. Some people are half an arm long, and they are all white meat, dotted with red, green and yellow spices. It looks like a fake. After eating the ginger duck warmly recommended by the local driver at first, the duck meat was cut into a large piece, which was hard and dry. Only ginger was left in the soup, which was not as delicious as expected. Next to the restaurant where the ginger duck is eaten is the highly recommended Bapo grass on the Internet, and then I continued to look for the online celebrity store "Post Bar Toast in A Xin". I didn't meet a handsome boss who missed A Xin very much, but the boss I met was also smiling. I ordered a piece of vanilla ice cream thick toast, which was tender outside and got our unanimous approval.

Along the seaside, at first glance, the sea and the sky are all black. There are no shining stars in the sky, only a few floating clouds can be seen. When the wind and rain are big and small, it washes the world and adds fuel to the fire. The sound of waves lapping on the coast is deep, heavy and loud, which is the most attractive sound at night. Rain and waves bring out the best in each other, and bicycles take us beside the waves, riding dim street lamps and proud coconut trees against the wind and rain. The curtains are on the ground, and the heart is as open as the environment. Riding a bike is different from walking, especially for a novice cyclist like me, I seldom feel the speed. Pushed by the wind and rain, I left my fatigue and depression behind and couldn't catch up.

The most beautiful scenery in my trip is never in a so-called scenic spot. Tonight is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in Xiamen. After watching the scenery tonight, I will be glad that you came.

Zaimao lane

(3) Thinking about the future-Gulangyu may just hit the peak before going to the island, and there is a traffic jam on the way to the ferry center. Before departure, we booked a ticket at 8: 50 on WeChat, got off at the last few minutes and flew to the ferry center, and finally jumped on the boat at 50.

Gulangyu/Gulangyu

When we arrived at Gulangyu Island, it was not the tourist season. Without a guide, we fled in the alleys of various residential areas. There is no avenue on the island, it is a slope that can't walk three steps. It goes up and down, twists and turns, and no transportation is allowed. Maybe that's why we can feel the special peace and harmony here. We walked into a cool tunnel, and from time to time we saw residents bending over and dragging carts to transport heavy objects. There is no unified planning for residents' houses, and there are many homestays with their own characteristics, but they are all old and retro, and the roads and walls are basically the same. Wherever you go, flowers and plants will "inadvertently" appear in your sight. Wherever Gulangyu goes, it is a landscape. Even ordinary small houses, small shops, even standing on the roadside at will, are all retro paintings. Gulangyu Island should be an undisputed island, but tourists come and go to break its calm.

Gulangyu Island is beautiful just by listening to this name. Many tourists come here. They all say that you have never been to Gulangyu, and you have never been to Xiamen. I hate such a similar statement. There are similar sayings everywhere. There is a rock at the entrance of Sunlight Rock where we have been. In addition to the five big "A's" marked on it, there is this sentence-"If you haven't been to Riguangyan, then you haven't been to Gulangyu." This sentence hit me in the bone. I have been to Gulangyu Island, but I have never been to Sunlight Rock. What happened?

The scenery on the island is really beautiful, but unfortunately, you can only feel the beauty of the scenery if you are in a good mood, so the most important thing to travel is to bring a good mood. Because the mood is average, my feet are particularly tired and the weather is stuffy. It wasn't sunny or rainy, but I didn't visit the scenic spots on the island. Everything is so-so. In order to walk to the organ museum, I climbed countless slopes and finally saw various retro organs in a villa. The largest organ occupies an entire central hall and needs four dehumidifiers, and the smallest one is as big as a 26-inch suitcase. Sunlight Rock is a very high and large rock, and the side we face is very flat and straight. There is a female voice circulating in the radio of the ancestral temple next to me, and I have been chanting the road of life, and my brain hurts. After visiting the exhibition hall, Xinzhuang Garden came out. I didn't really see the scenery inside. When I came out, I heard someone say, "I spent money to blow the air conditioner in it for ten minutes", as if we were the same.

It is really necessary to have a rest when we arrive at the International Printmaking Gallery. It's getting hotter and hotter outside at noon, and it's cool in the lettering hall. The wooden floor invited us to sit down again and again. Finally, we couldn't control the camera and the warning "Don't sit". The moment we sat down was perfect. However, when we left, there were already many people at the stairs.

When I came to the bustling commercial street of Gulangyu Island, it began to rain gradually. On the way to Hao Yue Garden, it rained harder and harder, and there were naturally fewer people in Hao Yue Garden. We saw Zheng Chenggong's stalwart body on the Rocky Mountain from far away. We walked into a small pavilion, looked at him from bottom to top, and never went up again. On the way to another ferry by the sea, the wind blew hard and the tension finally disappeared. I stepped on the water in slippers, and my fatigue disappeared a lot. The wind and rain hit the coconut tree, and the coconut leaves accepted it happily, swayed happily, hit the sea water and splashed out in circles.

No one can deny the scenery of Gulangyu Island. I believe that the beauty of every place will become my miss in the future. Although Gulangyu Island is beautiful, it still leaves a gap in my heart. Commercial speculation on the Internet destroyed the feelings brought by the island itself. What I can't forget is not the scenic spots in the joint ticket, but the "ship dies and the sea stays for the rest of my life" that I can't help but yearn for in Gulangyu.

Xiamen University

Shiwan Botanical Garden

In fact, after the trip, Xiamen left Shiwan Botanical Garden, Maoxiang and Xiamen University in my mind, especially a small street in Huangcuo that we pass back and forth from B&B every day. Every place is beautiful, and it has been photographed and kept in my small photo album.
