Xiamen 4 days and 3 nights free travel strategy (parent-child tour)

Xiamen is a super-modern city, located in the southeast coastal area, where there are world-famous Gulangyu Island and Xiamen University, with comfortable environment, developed economy and rich cultural atmosphere, which is the only magic weapon for Xiamen to attract many tourists every year. Here, I would like to share with you the strategy of four days and three nights free travel for Xiamen's parent-child tour.

I used to resist short-term travel. I always wanted to stay in one place for ten and a half months, thinking that I could learn more about the local customs and history, so almost every trip before was more than ten days.

However, after having children, the time was divided into 7788, and I didn't travel for three years.

Seeing an opportunity to go to Xiamen, although it only takes four days to go back and forth, this time is also very precious for children who are working full-time, so I decided happily: Let's go! And you're married and walking with your children!

Introduction of parent-child tour in Xiamen

I wanted to do it well before I went, but I was always busy at work, and I was still working overtime before I left, so I was a little casual about the trip (actually, I didn't arrange it ...)

Everything will be settled then.

This is very inconsistent with my previous personality.

I made a lot of strategies in advance for every trip before. I always have to figure out where to go first, and I want to take everything with me when I go out, as if I can feel more at ease.

Perhaps it is because I have been with my children for a long time, and my ability to find the small and beautiful around me is stronger, and my ability to accept uncertainty is also enhanced. Therefore, it is easier to travel without a raiders.

Or perhaps it is because of the increase in the number of trips and experiences that I realize that the Raiders can never be detailed, and the most impressive things in every trip are actually outside the Raiders.

It should also be attributed to the fact that various apps are too powerful now. Maps, food, hotels, air tickets, taxis, and payments are all convenient as long as you bring your mobile phone (and mobile power supply), and it is also very easy to travel with your baby.

Knowing myself, staying with my family, making friends, seeing a wider world and learning more about lifestyle during my trip may be the meaning of my trip.

Air tickets and hotels

Air ticket:

We started from Beijing, probably because of the wind direction. It takes 3 hours and 5 minutes for Beijing to fly to Xiamen, and only 2 hours and 55 minutes for Xiamen to fly to Beijing.

Because my stay in a * * * is only 4 days, I chose to fly in the morning and fly back at night, so that I can stay in Xiamen as much as possible.

165438+ 10 is not the peak season in Xiamen, is it? You can basically buy a 50% discount round-trip air ticket in advance 1 month, and the per capita 1600 is quite cost-effective.

Luckily for us, neither flight was delayed. Starting is the maiden voyage, and returning is Hainan Airlines.

Remind friends who travel with their children that the first flight can give their children mobile phone check-in, and HNA does not support it, so they can only check in on the spot (but HNA has reserved front seats, which is very thoughtful. )

In addition, HNA unexpectedly scored points! The plane is very new, the stewardess is very drifting, and the service is very intimate ~ awesome ~

Hotel:

Hotels here are generally cheaper. We booked a quasi-four-star hotel in Huli District, and the standard room only includes 358/ night in the morning. Walk 100 meters to the food stall gathering area, and 800 meters to the supermarket for shopping.

It is less than 10 km from the airport, and it is also convenient to take a taxi.

Xiamen Chu impression

I really saw Xiamen for the first time on the plane.

It was a little cloudy that day. Like other islands, the sky in Xiamen looks short and the sea is wide. There are many ships sailing, and the dock is full of containers and tower cranes. In addition to the common buildings in the mainland, there are green roofs that are not common in the north, and there are many beautiful red-roofed houses.

Such a red house was later seen in Xiamen University and Gulangyu Island.

After checking the information, I found that the red roof I saw is actually red brick, which is an important representative of Minnan architectural culture and has a profound historical origin and cultural heritage. People say, "Red bricks and white stones are curved in a double slope, bricks are put into stone dovetail ridges, and beams are carved to draw a palace style."

At present, the red brick buildings in southern Fujian are mainly distributed in Quanzhou, Xiamen, Zhangzhou and other places in Fujian Province, and Jinmen is the most concentrated in Taiwan Province Province.

Therefore, the mainland and Taiwan Province Province are jointly applying for World Heritage.

I got off the plane and got on the taxi smoothly (I got up too early in the morning, and all the children fell asleep after getting off the plane, so I can finally enjoy the city quietly).

Looking around, on the viaduct and on both sides of the city road, it is all green, dotted with the green of all kinds of flowers.

There are many tall bougainvillea (usually potted in the north), and Xiamen is planted as a trail tree. I guessed at that time, is bougainvillea the city flower of Xiamen?

Just look it up and it will happen! Bougainvillea is the flower of Xiamen!

When I was a child, a friend from Fujian went to the mainland to do business, but the local accent was always there. When it comes to going out to play, what impressed me deeply was Card Six.

Later, with the development of Internet, jokes with Hu Jian accent emerged one after another.

I went there this time and found that, hehe, Hu Jianren's speech has its own cuteness, which is really like the roar of Taiwanese people ~ ~ very cute roar ~

Please make a long tone. ...

Moreover, drivers in Fujian are very polite, the sidewalk must stop, and they also signal to you to let pedestrians pass first, so don't have a good experience ~

This is a lovely and cultured city. I like it.

About playing

Because I don't want to be too tired with my children, I don't want to catch up with the scenic spots. It is enough to go to one or two places every day.

Basically, I get up around 8 am, get ready for breakfast, and go out already 10. Take a taxi to the scenic spot, play until 12, and then have lunch. I ha ha ha. In the afternoon, I stroll around casually, then the children sleep in the hotel, and the old man takes care of the children and rests by the way. I go out for a stroll by myself, have dinner together in the evening, and I will go out after the children sleep.

When you travel with children, you have to be packed.

The specific itinerary is as follows:

The first day:

Get up at 5: 00 in the morning, leave for the airport at 6: 00, take off at 9: 00, 12 land, 1 check into the hotel, and finish lunch at 2: 30.

Tired from the journey, I wandered around the hotel in the afternoon and bought some fruit snacks.

What's even more funny is that my son happily integrated into the local old-age singing group and square dance ... He didn't want to leave and danced for half an hour. Ha ha.

Then it rained, so I took a taxi back to the hotel to rest.

The next day:

I originally planned to go to Xiamen University, eat near Xiamen University at noon and visit Nanputuo Temple.

Who knows Xiamen University doesn't open until noon 12, with a limit of 300 people. There are many people at the gate of Xiamen who say that 20 yuan can take you in at any time, which has not been verified. )

So we went to the plank road around the island to play. As a result, adults are too involved in taking pictures, and children are too happy to see the beach, so it's time for lunch. ...

We went back to the hotel for dinner because we forgot to bring the children's tableware.

After dinner, my son fell asleep on the way back to the hotel, so they went back to the hotel. I took a taxi to Xiamen Museum and got a deeper understanding of the history of Xiamen. At least I have left many names related to this city in my mind, including,, Lingerjia and Lin. ...

After my son went to bed at night, I went out by myself, rode an ofo, visited the city, visited the seaside, visited the Xiamen International Conference Center at night, and experienced another early autumn.

I have to say that Xiamen is very suitable for cycling. It's a long road, all slightly downhill. It's not hard to ride a long way. The wind is gentle, the lights are warm, and there are few pedestrians and cars on the road. I think I ...

King of the world!

Riding Xiamen at night is definitely the most unexpected and unforgettable experience in relaxation and freedom! None!

In the evening, I booked a boat ticket to Gulangyu Island on the official WeChat of Xiamen Ferry Company the next morning 1 1, 50 yuan/round trip.

Tip: At present, tourists (non-local residents) can only board the boat from Xiamen Gulou Wharf and reach Xiamen Neicuoao Wharf. Moreover, children under 1.2 meters need to exchange tickets at the window at least 30 minutes in advance with their ID cards. Suggest 1 hour in advance, because there are too many people on the island ... On the third day:

I went out on 10 and arrived at Gu Xia pier at 10: 30. As a result, the security line was so long that I almost missed the cruise ship.

1 1:30 arrived in Gulangyu, which turned out to be such a small island (I didn't do any investigation and strategy before, haha, so I was surprised).

The sea garden lives up to its reputation.

I suggest you take the path. There are many passers-by, and both sides are doing business. The path is quiet and peaceful, and you can see many different scenery. Why not?

I also found carambola under the tree ... what a surprise!

This is a real carambola.

dock

Look how happy you are.

In the afternoon, when the child fell asleep, I found a coffee shop to rest with the old man and the child.

Of course, it was myself. I wandered out again and stumbled upon the seaview hotel on the top of the mountain. His observation deck is free to the public. I can see not only Sun Guangyan, but also Xiamen Island. The scenery is very good.

The highest is the sunshine stone.

Flowers all over the mountains ...

Xiamen main island

At the same time, I also found that Sunlight Rock has to climb many steps, which makes it inconvenient to take care of children (after all, my children climbed Hongluo Temple last time, but they always rushed down the mountain ...), so we chose to walk around the island instead of buying tickets to see Sunlight Rock.

Gulangyu has no car except the occasional sightseeing battery car, so I can safely let the children run and jump. He has a lot of scenes, one moment he has to recite, and the other he has to sit on horses and chariots. He also learned to pronounce his name on Gulangyu Island, which was a great surprise.

The funniest thing is that I brought two eggs when I went out this morning, and I was going to peel them for him to play with. Then these two eggs played a great role on the beach of Gulangyu Island. I buried the eggs under the sand, and then the children dug them out without knowing it. They were very excited and kept shouting, "Get down! Come down! "

Guess if there are any eggs down there?

There may be eggs below, but the language explosion period is unexpected.

Because it was a little late and the old people were tired, we didn't go into the villa, but went directly to the dock.

Aoyiao

But there is a little surprise, that is the Sea Garden Hotel. When I saw the location and name of the hotel, my sixth sense told me that there must be many beautiful scenery hidden inside! So I let the old man have a rest by the side of the road, and I quickly climbed the stairs to have a look.

It doesn't matter if you don't look, you will leave the most beautiful scenery of this trip at a glance.

In fact, Sea Garden Hotel is located directly above Luzhuang Villa, and its lobby is free. I went straight to the fence and saw palm trees, sea, beach, Sunlight Rock and Luzhuang Villa in the sunset, which was beautiful.

The garden in the hall.

With the excitement of making money, I reluctantly left the Sea Garden Hotel and joined my family.

Thanks to the photographer, dad.

The cruise ship back is at Sanqiutian Wharf, which is close to the outlying islands and takes 5 minutes to Xiamen.

It seems that it's almost time, so we ate at the dock and then went back to the hotel to rest.

Then, my son fell asleep, and I slipped out to eat food stalls, grilled oysters, beer and saury, hahahaha.

The fourth day:

In the morning, the old man took his children to rest in the hotel. I went to the Overseas Chinese Museum alone, got a preliminary understanding of overseas Chinese and was full of admiration for Chen Jiageng.

It turns out that as early as16th century, China people crossed the ocean to make a living in a different place, and their initial life was not hard.

Chen Jiageng, the leader, donated 654.38 million yuan and spent 370,500 yuan.

Some overseas Chinese tycoons

After cycling around Xiamen University, I finally rode to Huandao South Road and passed by Zengcuo. I was in a good mood.

In the afternoon, the family went to Guanyin Mountain to see the sea, play with sand and blow the sea breeze!

Guanyin Mountain has a long beach and a wide coastline, and many people are taking wedding photos.

The wind is really strong ... blowing up the bride's wedding dress, haha.

Kid, your hair is messed up.

The children were so happy that they rushed into the sea laughing like adults and then ran back screaming with the waves, very happy.

But the wind was too strong, and it blew a little headache, so we only played for more than an hour and then went back to the mall next to the hotel for coffee and afternoon tea.

Pick up the checked baggage at the hotel at 5 o'clock, go to the airport and return to Beijing.

Xiamen gourmet raiders

For me, a Sichuan foodie, everything else can be casual, and eating is absolutely impossible.

As it happens, some relatives at home have worked in Xiamen for several years, and when we get familiar with it, we find a lot of delicious food ... perfect!

First of all, it must be eating Minnan food.

Recommend a local "Linjia Minnan Cuisine" with many branches, good environment and distinctive decoration. The service is only slightly inferior to Haidilao. The key is delicious!

The public comment we went to commented on the taste of 9.0, the environment of 9.2, and the service of 9.0, all of which were left ~

I just took a picture of my child with me, but I'm not good at taking pictures of food, so I just downloaded it from the internet for everyone ~

Now order brine tofu, which looks ordinary, but it's actually delicious!

Small pot of radish rice, this is delicious! In addition to radishes, there are diced lean meat, diced fat meat, shrimp skin and mushrooms ... maybe there are a lot of dishes, and six people haven't finished eating them.

Chicken soup and fish rice noodles. Minnan people love this kind of rice noodles, including soup and fried rice noodles.

Ginger duck, it really has ginger ... ginger is very strong, but it is delicious!

My son is still gnawing at the duck leg. ...

Son, pay attention to your image. You are eating your face. ...

Anxi salted bamboo shoots, a bit like leaves, but the stuffing is different, delicious! The only drawback is a little belly. ....

Note that the rice soup sent by his family was steamed in a clay pot in his hometown when he was a child. Very delicious!

The second recommendation is seafood stalls. ...

There are many near the hotel. Choose the kind of fly shop with good business, roast oysters, a dozen in 30 yuan, not too affordable! Roasted saury, 7 yuan! Don't be too affordable! The key is that the taste is still very good, so I have to accept it!

And Xiamen people are very practical in doing business and like it ~

Because I take care of children, I will also order seafood porridge, steamed turbot and the like, and adults can also eat a little to relieve greasy ~

This third recommendation is the local Chaozhou-Shantou cuisine.

It may still be close, and there are many places to eat morning tea here, and they are all authentic, all kinds of shrimp dumplings, roasted goose, durian crisp, rolled fish porridge ... I skipped many photos and saliva here.

So we are really full every day, everyone. ....

postscript

Every trip will bring new gains.

Of course, there will be some regrets, for example, there are still many places to go, I want to stay in Gulangyu for a few days, and there are still many delicious foods to eat.

However, how can life be so perfect? Think of it as an opportunity to go next time.
