Is it fun to travel to Xiamen in August?

It is a good choice to travel to Xiamen in August.

Suggested itinerary:

There are seven regular tourist attractions in Xiamen: Gulangyu Island, Nanputuo, Hu Lishan Fort, Huandao Road, Shiwan Botanical Garden, Haicang Bridge and Jimei Olympic Park.

Generally, it takes Gulangyu a day to finish the trip. Sunlight Rock, in particular, is the first scenic spot in Xiamen and a must-see for tourists coming to Xiamen. There is a saying that "if you don't go to Sunlight Rock in Xiamen, you just don't go to Xiamen". When you climb Sunlight Rock, you can get a panoramic view of Xiamen, and the sea breeze is blowing slowly, so you will definitely forget yourself.

On Gulangyu Island, you can see the ancient buildings where Chinese and Western cultures meet, and experience another Gulangyu Island known as "world architecture". Zheng Chenggong's garrison, groundwater level, statues, etc. Dream back to the scene of the national hero of that year. On the island, you can also visit the "folk village" with Minnan customs and culture and watch the "Xiamen Underwater World" of underwater fish.

Some friends who come to Xiamen don't go to Xiamen Botanical Garden. I don't think it is recommended. In fact, the scenic area of Xiamen Botanical Garden is quite good. You can enjoy not only plants native to Africa, but also magical plants such as stale fruits and discolored grass.

Temples in Xiamen: Nanputuo is famous, and other temples, such as Brahma Temple in Xiang 'an District of Xiamen and Qingjiao Ji Zi in Haicang District, can also be visited. Xiamen Island Road is also an indispensable tourist attraction in Xiamen. This tour starts from Fort Hu Lishan, and you can see the world's largest ancient coastal gun. On the road around the island, you can see the longest stone carving in China (named: Gulangyu Wave).

When you go to Xiamen, you must experience the sea rhyme. It is recommended to stay in Gulangyu or a hotel near the sea. Hotels range from two to four stars, and prices range from 120-3000. The May Day, November and Spring Festival in Xiamen are peak seasons, and the rooms are quite tight. However, hotels in Xiamen will be more expensive if they stay directly. It is recommended to make a reservation at a large reservation website with good reputation, which will generally be 2~7 fold off the retail price. Moreover, online booking does not need to pay any cash in advance, as long as you arrive at the hotel front desk on time and pay with the card number or order number registered for free just now.

For self-help tours, booking a room in advance has at least three advantages: hotels and restaurants provided by major websites such as eLong are formal, safe and hygienic, and the price is cheaper than direct check-in. After arriving in Xiamen, you don't have to worry about the accommodation problem that night, so you can enjoy it!

Catering related:

Xiamen has a lot of seafood, but it's not too expensive. The famous restaurants are: Xianxiang in Xiamen and Kerry seafood. The mid-range ones are: Nanhai Fish Village. The seafood in general food stalls in Xiamen is also good, and it is common on the streets of Xiamen. Personally, I think the famous dishes: Nanputuo vegetarian dishes, bamboo shoots and ice (snacks) are all good and famous. Other seafood can be eaten in other places.
