Questions about traveling to Xiamen with children

1. Gulangyu Island depends on what you want to do. If you like that kind of atmosphere, you won’t be able to part with it for as long as you stay. If it is just a simple attraction, I suggest that 1-2 days is enough. The main tourist attractions include Sunlight Rock, Shuzhuang Garden, Haoyue Garden, Yuyuan Garden, Huandao Road, Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall, Underwater World, etc. There are also many unique old villas. There is a beach where you can make tea during the day (but the cost is very high, about 80-100). If there are some places there where you can sit and drink at night. The price of accommodation in Gulangyu Island is very high during the summer peak season, probably two to three times more than in the city. Don’t eat snacks on Gulangyu Island.

2. If you are in downtown Xiamen, you can go shopping on Zhongshan Road, World Trade Station, Huli Pedestrian Street, or Qianpu Evernight City. Mainly Zhongshan Road. Zhongshan Road is a great place for snacks. If you are interested in petty bourgeoisie, there are villa cafes in Gulangyu Island and Xiamen University (especially Luwak in Xiamen University, the prices are not as high as in Gulangyu Island and there are many foreigners) and the coffee street in Xidi (it is definitely petty bourgeoisie here, with high prices and many luxury cars). Ferry The Lujiang Hotel (you can enjoy the night view and have dinner on the top floor. The price is not bad, at least you won’t feel too distressed) and the Starbucks on the ferry (you can also drink coffee and watch the night view on the top floor).

3. Xiamen University, Nanputuo (if you believe in Buddhism, you can go for a walk in Nanputuo), Huandao Road (ride a tandem bicycle along the seaside) and stay in the Xiamen Huandao Road area at night (this is a nearby (in a seaside village), you can also go shopping on Zhongshan Road in the evening. Zhongshan Road is the pedestrian street of Xiamen. It is lively at night and there are many places to eat.

ps:

1. It is definitely not recommended to stay in Gulangyu Island if you are in downtown Xiamen or going to Yefengzhai (on Huandao Road). If you play late, there will be no boats to go there. . 1. Inconvenience, 2. Accommodation prices in Gulangyu Island are very high, and 3. Food prices are much higher than in the city. And it’s troublesome! There are many youth hostels and hotel apartments in Xiamen city, which are very good!

2. If Gulangyu accommodation is cheap during the summer vacation, it should be more than 300 yuan a night. In the urban area, the price is about 150-300.

In addition, Xiamen's famous snacks - vegetarian cakes, chicken fetuses, duck porridge, winter noodles, duck and bamboo shoots jelly, roasted pork rice dumplings, five-spice, taro buns, leek boxes, taro dates, octopus, scallions Noodles, braised beans, braised duck, oyster porridge, noodle paste, fried dates, bundled hooves, pancakes, candied scallion pancakes, pancakes, sand tea noodles, fish balls, oyster omelette, sesame seeds, tribute squid," Stir-fried "dried tofu, shark meat, fried snails, flower snails, fried taro, fried oysters, water chestnut crisps, fried noodles, noodle tea, shrimp noodles, roasted tofu pudding, peanut soup, mochi, fried noodles, bean buns Wait a minute.

For sand tea noodles, we recommend Sili’s and black sugar sand tea noodles! These two are classics! The fish balls are recommended from Gulangyu! But these stores are a bit hard to find! The bamboo shoot jelly is still the bamboo shoot jelly at the west gate of Zhongshan Park! For other snacks like taro buns, you can go to Wu Zaitian Snack Shop (this one is also on Zhongshan Road but a bit hard to find)! You can also eat at Xu Zehe on Zhongshan Road (you can find this restaurant if you ask anyone). Chunjuan Zhongshan Road Jukou Street is also called Women’s Street. Mo Ci is Gulangyu Ye’s Mo Ci. The shacha noodles and meat dumplings of "Yuehua" opposite Minli Primary School, especially the shacha noodles, are still prepared by the 80-year-old Yuehua grandma herself.

So it’s up to you. If you have a lot of travel funds, then stay in Gulangyu. If you don’t have a lot of travel funds, it’s not recommended! !

Accommodation recommendations: Xiamen Youth Sunshine Chain Hotel (a fast hotel with chain stores), the youth hostel on Zengcuo'an side of Huandao Road, the youth hostel on Gulangyu Island, and the youth hostel on Nanhua Road of Xiamen University. If you have never stayed in a youth hostel, I highly recommend trying it. If you think the price in Gulangyu Island is too high, you can choose the one at Xiamen University or Zengcuo'an on Huandao Road. As for Xiamen University and Zengcuo'an on Huandao Road, the transportation at Xiamen University is more convenient.

Gulangyu is an island, so it is close to the sea. Huandao Road is being constructed along the entire coast. Xiamen University is also close to the sea, but it is about one kilometer away. If you consider the safety of bringing children, I would recommend Gulangyu Island (because there is no car). If you are more concerned about food and transportation convenience, go to Xiamen University (Xiamen University is relatively close to Gulangyu Island, Zhongshan Road, Yefengzhai, and some scenic spots, and it is very quiet to stay in the youth hostel on Nanhua Road of Xiamen University, which is It's a small alley, so it's absolutely quiet).
