Literary and artistic Xiamen, come here to experience the "many life"

The first time S went to Xiamen was as a transit point. I stayed in Xiamen for less than a day. The whole trip was basically wandering around Zhongshan Road, but it was this short stop that made me fall in love completely. I fell in love with the air, the people here, and the atmosphere of life here.

Xiamen makes me feel like a striving young man of literature and art, endlessly prosperous. In order to better understand this city, S once again set foot on the land of Xiamen, wanting to appreciate its appearance more clearly, the delicacy and tranquility it exudes, and the wonderful taste of a leisurely vacation it exudes. . < /p>

Sun protection essentials: parasol, sun hat, sunglasses, slippers, sun protection shirt or sunscreen, and comfortable flat shoes (even if the weather in Xiamen is not sunny, ultraviolet rays are still strong, so sun protection must be done) )

Essentials for the beach: Band-Aids, anti-mosquito water, anti-diarrheal medicine, seasickness medicine

Staying in a B&B

Last time S went to Xiamen, he chose to stay in a B&B instead. Staying in hotels or B&Bs can provide the most direct exposure to different local cultures, and the daily home decoration of B&Bs will also make tourists feel the warmth of doing as the locals do and feeling at home. Compared to staying in a hotel, a B&B has an extra human touch.

Liangzhu

Address: No. 22 Huaxin Road, Siming District, Xiamen City

The B&B where S stayed is called "Liangzhu". It is a three-story building The small building is composed of eight rooms with different styles. There are medieval rooms for nostalgic people, plant rooms for forest girls, study rooms for book lovers, and travel rooms for those who are always on the road. Here, you can always find a lifestyle that belongs to you.

What’s special about Liangzhu is that it gives every guest a beautiful back garden, which is like traveling back in time to the old days. The courtyard is beautifully arranged, and the flowers and plants here are full of vitality. They grow quietly, and time settles in the well-built courtyard.

S likes to drink afternoon tea in the yard and pet the cat. The afternoon sun shines in the backyard, watching the plump orange cat lazily lying on my lap, stroking its smooth and soft hair. At that moment of leisure time, I regain my forgotten memories. The old days.

Enjoy literature and art

When you come to Xiamen, you must experience its unique freshness and literary sense. There are many interesting shops here, each of which makes S step into it. I don't want to leave behind the door.

Ajizai Jizhi Department Store

Address: Xiamen Time-honored Cake Shop, No. 116 Kaiyuan Road, Xiamen

When it comes to Xiamen souvenirs, Miss Zhao is naturally inseparable. store, Zhang Sanfeng, etc., but other than that, S feels that the packaging of Ajizai is the most exquisite among several souvenir shops.

Returning to Ajizai Jiji Department Store, in addition to the bakery on the first floor, the other four floors also have different themes. S likes the content on the second floor the most. It is like a secret garden with a lot of old Xiamen items on display. It is said that they were all purchased and picked up by the manager. There are old bicycles, typewriters, sewing machines, etc. here, just like an exhibition of an era, each piece contains a story about time.

The "Book Theme" on the third floor, the "Flower Theme" on the fourth floor and the "Oolong Tea Room" on the fifth floor also show their different characteristics and characteristics, and seem to convey their respective characteristics to us. story.

Silent Traces Cafe

Address: Villa No. 3-11, Lihuayuan Community, Yuandang Road, Xiamen

This is an internet celebrity cafe. It is said that the male god Peng Yuyan once visited here, and S was attracted by its rich retro and literary atmosphere.

This is a garden coffee villa that S fell in love with at first sight. It can be seen that the owner has put a lot of thought into the decoration. Every dining table is beautifully decorated and stylish. The sun was shining brightly on the day we went, so we stayed there all afternoon. The garden is surrounded by flowers and plants, and the environment is elegant and quiet. You can enjoy a cup of coffee while basking in the sun, and there is a sense of leisurely laziness.

Their coffee is also the main recommendation. S could smell the aroma of coffee wafting outside the door before he even stepped in. The Italian latte S ordered had a smooth taste and overflowing mellow aroma.

See you on a sunny day

Address: No. 301-7, Zengcuo'anshe, Church Street, Xiamen City

This dessert shop is very interesting, and the name "See you on a sunny day" is as the name suggests. It will only open its doors on sunny days, so strictly speaking, you have to try your luck if you want to be open~

This shop specializes in ice cream, with various flavors, such as butter and salted egg yolk and figs are relatively new flavors. However, the willful shopkeeper will not give you many opportunities to choose. You can only choose the flavor based on the mood of the boss and the supply situation that day.

Although the store is small, it has all the necessary features. The style of the store is in line with the literary and artistic atmosphere of Xiamen. You can rest for a while and if you are lucky, you may meet the owner's friend playing and singing in the store. Sitting in the store, you will feel comfortable and casual as you unburden yourself.

Eat seafood

Open a small stove

Address: No. 392-103, Qianpu Community, Wenxing East Road, Xiamen City

Coming to Xiamen, How can you not eat seafood? S recommends a fashionable restaurant - "Kaixiaozao". It specializes in small seafood + Minnan cuisine. From the dishes to the prices, it is very friendly to the people.

This store uses an open kitchen. From the facade to the clothing of employees, the main tone is tiffany blue and white. The walls are also covered with photos of cats. The overall style is very literary and fresh.

S recommends the pickled pepper seabass, the meat is firm and tender, and cut into even sizes and thicknesses. The excitement brought by pickled peppers can stimulate the taste buds of diners, and their appetite will be stimulated in an instant. The spiciness is moderate and the fish soup is sour and refreshing. It is indeed a signature dish and I can't stop eating it.

In addition, S also likes steamed squid with day needles and garlic. The squid is fresh and the meat is chewy and chewy. Although the taste is light compared with the pickled seabass, it does not cover up the freshness of the squid.

Friends who like desserts can also try his Mango Iceworth, which is actually Mango Snow Maiden. It has a rich mango flavor, a soft and waxy texture, moderate sweetness, and a bit of an ice cream texture.

During these few days in Xiamen, I feel that the pressure on my body has been quietly relieved. If you are still one step away from happiness, then come here to fill it up!
