Recommended 1 Xiamen

Wander from the small fishing village to the university campus and encounter the literary and artistic atmosphere

Free and fun places to visit in Xiamen include Huandao Road, Zhongshan Park, Bailu You can go to Xizhou Park, Xianyue Mountain, etc. for a walk. The air is also very fresh. It is a place where locals like to do morning exercises. In addition, the famous Xiamen University is also very popular among tourists. Just be careful not to disturb the students' study and life. If you go to Gulangyu Island, if you don't count the ferry fare and don't go to several paid attractions on the island, the island is free of charge. .

[Reason for Recommendation]

When talking about Xiamen, the words “art”, “petty bourgeoisie” and “walking” cannot be avoided. Xiamen’s literature and art emerges spontaneously. It's not about how many cafes she owns, or how many floral dresses she owns, but about the character of this city. A large number of free or cheap attractions have shortened the psychological distance of tourists. The openness, tolerance and kindness of this city always make people feel warm.

I remember once when I was wandering in Xiamen, I got upset for no reason. There was only one seafood restaurant nearby. I stood at the door and awkwardly waved to the waiter inside. The waiter walked over quickly and said hello. Before he started, he pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

This is the character of this city. Everyone regards this city as their own home, and when guests come to their home, they naturally have to entertain them well. So when we are in this city, we can always feel the long-lost friendship.

[Free Tour Route] Day 1: Visit Zengcuo’an and go to the beach to enjoy the breeze

Most of Xiamen’s scenery is hidden in the city. Check out those places, your feet are the ticket.

Zengcuo'an is Xiaogulangyu Island in Xiamen. This small fishing village hidden on the road around the island has been quietly decorating Xiamen for many years. If it's the peak season, going to Gulangyu Island seems a bit heroic, so it's not a bad idea to go to Zengcuo'an first.

Zengcuo'an is only one road away from the seaside. On the first day, you can go to the beach first. The beach near Zengcuo'an is also very unique. It is Xiamen's unique black beach. It’s a good memory to step on the soft black sand and take some photos with your hair flying in the wind.

When you are tired of playing at the beach, you can visit Zengcuo'an. It is no exaggeration to say that there are as many Zengcuo'an as there are on Gulangyu Island. Cafes, postcards, milk tea shops, and small handicrafts are all cheaper in Zengcuo'an.

At night, there are many unique small inns in Zengcuo'an, and it is very convenient to stay here.

Day2 Feel the bookish atmosphere of the university

If you live in Zengcuo'an, you can go straight to Xiamen University the next day.

Xiamen University has a long history of architecture and a large and beautiful campus. No tickets are required to enter the campus, as long as you have a backup copy of your valid ID. Compared with the paid attractions, Xiamen University is more leisurely and comfortable, and the strong bookish atmosphere is more refreshing. The coffee bookstore in Xiamen University is also worth a visit. The warm and soft lighting makes people feel lazy. Of course, if you are not in a hurry, you may order a cup of coffee here and sit with a book for a while, and you will find that a whole morning has passed.

After coming out of Xiamen University, you can go to the Nanputuo Temple opposite. It is free to enter through the small door on the right, but if you enter from the main entrance, it is 3 yuan/person, and the price is very cheap. Even if you don't enter the main hall to burn incense here, it is still good to take a tour outside the hall. The scenery here is pleasant and there are many historical sites, including stone inscriptions by Chen Di and Shen Yourong of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and imperial steles made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. There is a Wulao Peak behind the temple. If your physical strength is still good, you might as well climb it. "Wulao Lingxiao" is one of the eight scenic spots in Xiamen.

[Travel Guide]

Food: Xiamen has long been famous for its local snacks, including oyster omelette, bamboo shoot jelly, sand tea noodles, tribute sugar cakes, etc.

Accommodation: There are many hotels near Huandao Road and Xiamen University in the urban area, which are cost-effective and convenient for travel. There are many choices of inns in Zengcuo'an, and there are also many accommodation options on Gulangyu Island. For higher-end hotels, you can go to the Westin Hotel on Xianyue Mountain.

Reminder: The number of people entering Xiamen University every day is limited. If you want to go, it is best to arrive early.

Some people once laughed at Nanjing. When building a house in Nanjing, they always use the smallest shovel. It is said that there are no high-rise buildings in Nanjing. I don’t think he understands that buried in the low houses in Nanjing is a rich history that even an excavator cannot move.

Nanjing people are open-minded, and they rarely mention glory or suffering.

First built in the Song Dynasty, Confucius Temple is located next to Gongyuan Street on the north bank of the Qinhuai River. Although it has appeared in the past as a place dedicated to Confucius, Confucius Temple was once a place where fireworks flourished. "The sound of lights and shadows stretches for ten miles, and the singing girls and flower boats play on the turbid waves" describes the prosperous scene on the Qinhuai River at that time.

Today’s Confucius Temple has not lost its glory.
