Cost budget and guide for self-guided tour from Shantou to Xiamen Gulangyu Island

The main cost is food, accommodation, transportation and tickets/transportation

From Shantou to Xiamen: bus/train or plane, the budget is decided by yourself

Accommodation: Zeng Cuo'an A family hotel costs around NT$300 a night.

OK: Xiamen’s public transportation is quite developed, and all buses on the island are 1 yuan. If you take a taxi, the place you live is not far from the tourist attractions and the taxi cost is less than 30 yuan.

Eat: Xiamen’s snacks include roasted pork rice dumplings/shacha noodles/bamboo shoot jelly/pies/water chestnut cakes/scallion cakes/shrimp noodles/taro buns...many, They are not expensive.

I don’t know how many days you want to come, so I’ll write down a rough outline first:

It takes one day to go to Gulangyu Island. If you come to Gulangyu Island during non-holidays, it will be quieter and there won’t be so many tourists, which is suitable. Your "don't like the hustle and bustle" request.

One day for South Putuo/Xiamen University/Huandao Road/Hulishan Fort.

One day for Wanshi Botanical Garden/Railway Park

Jimei Garden Museum/Jiageng Park/Crocodile Park may be a bit busy in one day.

That’s about it
