Where should I go to play in Xiamen?

Xiamen is a very beautiful coastal city, known as the sea garden. Thousands of egrets inhabit here every year, forming a unique natural landscape in Xiamen, so it is called Ludao.

Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou are all parts of southern Fujian, and people in southern Fujian speak Xiamen dialect. The hometown of overseas Chinese, Fujian and Taiwan, seaside cuisine and exotic buildings gather here, which has become the unique charm of this city.

The market in Xiamen hides the antiques of southern Fujian. Coffee table boys and chatting are the leisure heritage of this city; Red brick houses, Fanzilou and arcade are the common features of this city. Walking, it seems that I will fall into an old dream of the south at any time.

Xiamen is a famous coastal city, facing the sea and blooming in spring. Walking on the beach by the roadside, flowers and trees, seawater and sunshine, sunrise and sunset will always be your memories!

Xiamen is a lazy and leisurely city, where time seems to be lengthened, making people empty everything and feel the tenderness brought by wanton sunshine and gentle sea breeze.

Xiamen is also a city where tradition and modernity blend together, from a modern city to an old dream of Nanyang, from a romantic petty bourgeoisie to a fireworks-like street flavor. Here, it seems that you can switch the experience mode at will.

In Xiamen, you can see the scenery, but not the feelings. When you come to Xiamen, you should not only look at the scenery, but also look for one thing, that is, literary feelings.

Sunshine, beaches, islands, music, street scenes of literary models, and small and fresh shops visit Xiamen. You don't need to make a travel guide, and wander aimlessly, so that you can taste the tone of literary petty bourgeoisie.

First, the history of Xiamen

The recorded history of Xiamen began in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been 1 100 years. During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Han Chinese surnamed Xue and Chen immigrated to the island, and now Nanputuo Temple has inherited the immigrant's home temple.

Before the Ming dynasty, except for a few fishermen, it was almost deserted. The Japanese invaders began to invade in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. By the Ming Dynasty, pirates were rampant in the southeast coast, and Xiamen began to be an important coastal defense city.

From 20 to 27 years in Ming Hongwu (1387 1394), it was the origin of Xiamen city to build a city on Xiamen Island. But in the Ming dynasty, it was only one of thousands of households in Yongning under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture next door.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Zheng Chenggong used it as a military base to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore sight, and named it Siming County to show his determination to restore sight. In the 19th year of Kangxi, he captured Siming County and destroyed Xiamen City.

In the 22nd year of Kangxi (1683), Fujian navy prefect yamen moved to Xiamen, re-expanded Xiamen city, and made it the seat of Taixia Military Road. Quanzhou's coastal defense experts also entered Xiamen, and Xiamen has gradually become an important coastal defense city in Fujian and even the southeast coast.

After the Opium War, the corrupt Qing government signed the humiliating treaty of nanking, Xiamen became one of the five earliest trading ports in China, and Gulangyu even became a concession. Although it was a bitter history of China, it was during this period that Xiamen developed rapidly.

Second, Gulangyu Island

Gulangyu Island faces Xiamen Island across the river, with an area of 1.88 square kilometers. With beautiful environment and beautiful scenery, the island is a tourist area integrating history, culture and natural landscape, and was listed in the World Cultural Heritage List in 20 17.

There are too many historical memories here. In the early years of Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong stationed troops in Gulangyu and trained naval officers, leaving behind Zhai Ying and Shuicaotai. After the Opium War, it became a concession until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Once a concession, once a rich area, many old buildings with different Chinese and foreign styles are well preserved here, which is known as the World Architecture Expo.

Gulangyu is a fertile ground for music and the cradle of musicians. The ethereal sound of the piano reverberates in ancient streets and lanes from time to time, and music has become a particularly beautiful scenery in Gulangyu.

Gulangyu is a small island suitable for walking, without the noise of cars, enjoying the slow pace of the island. Slate road and old villa, walking on the streets with different styles, seem to have the illusion of crossing time and space in a trance.

Getting lost in Gulangyu Island is a common thing. I wonder what scenery will appear in the next second. This feeling is like opening a blind box.

Gulangyu pays equal attention to life and writing style. Romantic and fashionable cafes, bars, cultural and creative shops and gourmet shops can be seen everywhere, allowing you to release your literary feelings to your heart's content. Snacks on Longtou Road will make your taste buds bloom.

Third, Xiamen University.

Xiamen University was founded in 192 1 by Mr. Chen Jiageng, a famous patriotic overseas Chinese leader. It is surrounded by mountains and seas, and trees are shaded. The four-year-round campus is known as the most beautiful campus in China, which is in harmony with the ancient buildings everywhere.

When I came to this campus full of Nanyang customs, I sat on the winding court and looked at the students' vigorous sports posture and youthful faces, and I couldn't help but recall the campus time.

Xiamen University is more like a park than a campus. Furong Lake echoes Songen Building from a distance, and the beautiful lover valley is filled with the smell of youthful hormones. Qunxian Building and Jiannan Auditorium can let you see the old buildings in Jiageng style.

Furong Tunnel is also a must-see for tourists. Groups of Xiamen University students left their memories of youth here. Looking at the graffiti on the wall, there is always a saying that a graffiti will poke your heart.

After the tour of Xiamen University, you can choose to go out from the school gate of Baicheng and go to Baicheng Beach to surf the water and watch the waves.

Fourth, Nanputuo Temple

Nanputuo Temple is adjacent to Xiamen University, with the blue sea in front and the mountain peaks in the back. Because it is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is similar to Guanyin Dojo in Putuo Mountain, Zhejiang Province, and is located at the southern foot of Putuo Mountain, hence the name Nanputuo Temple.

Nanputuo Temple was built in the late Tang Dynasty, rebuilt and renamed Nanputuo Temple in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. The temple is magnificent and tree-lined. It is not only full of incense, but also famous for its vegetarian food and cakes.

There are still many steles around the temple, the most famous of which are the steles of Changdi and Shen Yourong in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty and the imperial stele of Qingganlong. Behind the temple, there are lush pines and cypresses, deep valleys of rocks and acacia trees in Taiwan.

Verb (short for verb) Fort Hu Lishan.

Fort was built in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, and the castle covers an area of 6.5438+0.3 million square meters, which is semi-bunker type and semi-wall type.

It used to be a seaside fishing village with southern Fujian characteristics. Both the red brick antique building and the Nanyang-style Fanzi Building reflect the legacy of Minnan architecture.

With the development of tourism, the simple appearance of small fishing villages has almost disappeared, replaced by blocks with literary style. Only the worship of the Virgin Mary, which is filled with incense, still maintains the most primitive cultural features of this small fishing village.

Restaurants with emotional appeal, small shops with fresh literature and art, and small shops with personality of online celebrities are all gathered here. In particular, the food in the 18th Lane of Zengcuo _ Fifth Street is dazzling and you can't stop.
