Xiamen self-guided tours

1 Xiamen:

It can be said that it is one of the cities that is very suitable for self-guided tours. 1. Self-guided tourism can be said to be one of the fastest growing tourism methods in recent years due to its flexibility, self-service, temporary nature and strong experiential nature. Let me give you some suggestions for self-guided travel in Xiamen.

2 Recommended number of people:

More than 2 people, so that they can take care of each other during the tour. (However, we have also received a lot of travel enthusiasts traveling alone. It depends on your preference. In fact, Xiamen is so romantic. Stepping on the sea sand, listening to MP3, and blowing the sea breeze... Use your imagination, Xiamen belongs to you). Travel preparation: Change of clothes (you can prepare swimming suits in summer in Xiamen (please pay attention to safety, go to the designated swimming pool, there are relevant safety measures, safety first), commonly used medicines, ID cards and other documents. The temperature in Xiamen is high in summer, so a shirt is enough. Ladies, the same applies. In winter, the temperature in Xiamen is the coldest at 8 degrees at night. Two autumn coats are enough, as the coldest daytime is usually above 15 degrees.

3. Preparatory expenses:

It still depends on personal finances. (No, if you don’t bring money, then bring your bank card. All major banks in Xiamen are interconnected. ATMs are available 24 hours a day. Each card can withdraw up to 5,000 yuan per day.) Don’t have too much cash during travel. Card security.

4. Accommodation:

You must experience Haiyun when you go to Xiamen. It is recommended to stay in Gulangyu Island or a hotel near the sea. Hotels range from two to four stars, and the price Available from 120-3000. Xiamen's May Day, National Day and Spring Festival are peak seasons, so rooms are relatively tight. It is recommended that you book in advance. Booking through us will give you the best discounts and service quality, with a maximum room price of 2-7 days. I'm not trying to scare you. It's really hard to find a room in Xiamen during the peak season. (It’s a friendly reminder!!!)

How to get there: Xiamen has direct trains, civil aviation, steamships and buses. For specific train times, see "Transportation" on this site Related Column "If your train cannot reach Xiamen directly, you can transfer to Yingtan, Jiangxi.

6. Suggested itinerary. :

There are ***7 regular tourist attractions in Xiamen: Gulangyu Island, Nanputuo, Hulishan Fort, Huandao Road, Wanshi Botanical Garden, Haicang Bridge, Jimei Ao Garden.

General A one-day trip to Gulangyu Island is enough to complete the trip. Sunlight Rock, in particular, is the most scenic spot in Xiamen and a must-see for tourists in Xiamen. There is a saying that "if you don't climb Sunlight Rock in Xiamen, you haven't arrived in Xiamen." You can see all the close-up and distant views of Xiamen, and the sea breeze blows slowly, which will definitely make you forget yourself. On Gulangyu Island, you can see the ancient buildings with Chinese and Western cultures, and experience another Gulangyu Island with the title of "Architecture of All Nations". , water platform, statues, etc., you can dream back to the scene of the national hero. On the island, you can also visit the "Min Customs Village" with southern Fujian customs and culture, and the "Xiamen Underwater World" where you can watch underwater fish. Some people don’t go to the Xiamen Botanical Garden, and I don’t think it’s recommended. In fact, the scenic area of ??the Xiamen Botanical Garden is quite good. You can enjoy plants native to Africa, as well as magical plants such as variegated fruit and color-changing grass. If you When the group reaches 10 people, the editor will personally guide you.

Xiamen’s temples: Nanputuo is quite famous, and other temples: such as Brahma in Xiang’an District, Xiamen. You can also visit the Qingjiao Temple and Qingjiao Ziji in Haicang District.

8. Meal related:

Other seafood can also be eaten in other places.

9. Snacks: There are too many snacks in Xiamen, such as sand tea noodles, Huang Zehe peanut soup, pancakes, fried oysters, Xiamen fried noodles, spring rolls, Mochi, flat food, etc. Editor, I can’t count them anymore.

Things to note when traveling to Xiamen by yourself

As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of entering the wrong industry. Afraid of marrying the wrong man. So what are you afraid of when traveling? Don’t be afraid. After reading the Xiamen travel precautions, you will have no worries when traveling to Xiamen.

1. When traveling to Xiamen on your own, don’t be fooled by taxi drivers or solicitors. If you travel independently to Xiamen airport or train station, take a taxi to find a hotel. The taxi driver will charge 20% to 30% of the room rate as a rebate, some as high as 50%. If the accommodation fee is 200 yuan/day, a rebate is generally given. It is 80 yuan; if the room charge is 300 yuan, the rebate is 120 yuan. Because you have to pay a rebate, the price of the room is relatively high or the location of the accommodation is relatively remote, which is not very convenient for going out. When you are looking for a hotel by taxi, when you ask the waiter, the waiter or security guard will pay attention to whether there is an introducer behind you. Trick: When you travel to a new place, be sure not to listen to people on the street (soliciting customers) Introducing hotels or hostels. If they enter the hotel with you, after you complete the check-in procedures, they will ask the hotel for 20% of your room rate as their introduction fee. (Of course, the wool comes from the sheep, and you have to pay the extra money. Your room fee and water prices have increased). So when you go out of a train station, airport or at a taxi stand, and a person is surrounding you (no, a bunch of people are surrounding you), you say: someone will come to pick you up later or tell you that you have booked a hotel. , (the world immediately became quiet). If you can't find the hotel at the moment, you can dial your mobile phone: 0592_8387359. Our customer service specialists will help you solve your problem immediately to avoid being entangled by the hotel trying to grab customers. If you are traveling with a few people, send two people to find the hotel first. After checking in, you can come back to meet your companions. Do not go to the hotel together with a few people, even less after the driver helps you put your luggage in the wine. There is no room for bargaining. It is not easy to get rid of accommodation introducers. You have to rely on your own skills. The money saved in this way will be a lot of money. Nowadays, travel websites have room booking services, and they are constantly promoted, and the price Moderately good service. It is worthy of everyone’s trust.

2. Things to note when traveling to Xiamen for shopping.

Go shopping at tourist attractions in Xiamen, especially Gulangyu Island. Merchants selling goods along the street are popping up one after another, and first-time buyers don’t know which one to buy and what to buy? Follow me. . . . The "basic" specialties to buy in Xiamen are: Gulangyu pie (authentic brand: Sunlight Rock series products, Chenji series products), meat products (Golden Fragrance series meat floss, authentic only one small shop on Longtou Road, the entrance There is a sign of Chinese time-honored brand. The products of this small shop have a history of more than 100 years. Seafood products, pearls, etc. are all available. It depends on your eyesight. However, the editor is checking one or two reputable shops with their After signing the contract, I recommend it to everyone. Yingdiao is also a good product and can be purchased. As for the tea that costs 10 yuan a box, don’t buy it. Most of the dried longan is made with flour and sugar. I don’t recommend buying it. I have never bought a good one (haha). For detailed introduction, please see the special products on this website (not included in the collected information collection). Friendly reminder: read more, choose more, and compare items
