Overseas Chinese have made great contributions to the rise and development of Xiamen's modern capitalist national industry. Jimei is the hometown of Mr. Tan Kah Kee, my country’s famous patriotic overseas Chinese leader, and is also a famous hometown of overseas Chinese.

Huandao Road is a characteristic route that Xiamen focuses on building, and starting from Xiamen University Baicheng is where the wooden plank road begins. The wooden plank roads are built at the foot of the mountain, beside the beach and on the water. In many places, you can walk gracefully around the foot of the mountain, while underneath you can hear the waves marching one after another. The wooden plank road extends very long, so you can enjoy the scenery while walking. Along the wooden plank road, there are several famous beaches, Baicheng Beach, Hulishan Beach, Pearl Bay Beach, Zengcuoyan Beach (also known as Calligraphy Square), Huangcuo Beach..., Baicheng Beach, Pearl Bay and Huangcuo Beach. The bathing beach has become a place where people often come for recreation and entertainment. Of course, these are all free. However, due to insufficient protection of the beach, the seawater quality is average and sometimes poor. Occasionally, you can see garbage washed up by the waves on the beach, but the higher parts of the beach are still relatively clean. You can rent a folding bed and chair on the beach and place it under the shade of trees, lawns or rocks to enjoy the coolness. It feels really cool. The rental price is not expensive, only 10-20 yuan a day. You can also rent a double-sided chair. The ventilated tent not only has its own small space, but also can feel the cool summer.

You can experience outdoor camping life at night.

If you stay in an economic chain hotel, it usually costs around 200 yuan, and the difference is more than 100 yuan. Moreover, you cannot feel the closeness to the sea when staying in a hotel, and you cannot get the excitement of using the ground as your seat and the sky as your quilt. .

Xiamen University

Xiamen Nature is a famous free attraction, and everyone who comes to Xiamen will definitely visit it. I want to take a look at the elegance and charm of Xiamen University. This is one of the most unique campuses. If the transportation from Fujian to other provinces is more developed (you don’t have to take so long trains and buses), I think more students would be willing to go to Furong Lake and Lover’s Valley to fall in love. .

When you get to Xiamen University, you have to go to the two scenic spots. Nanputuo is close to the south gate of Xiamen University. The small door on the right is free to enter. It is 3 yuan per person to enter from the main entrance. Of course, They mainly want to make money for your incense, but if you just want to see the scenery, just burn the incense in your heart. Climb up from Nanputuo to Wulaofeng and follow the route down to Wanshi Botanical Garden. Of course, you can also walk through the Lover's Valley from the small road behind the Lingyun Dormitory of Xiamen University, and you can also enter the Botanical Garden directly without a ticket. This saves you 40 yuan in tickets. There seem to be a lot of fare evaders. I hope you have a good character and will not be cheated. Discover.

There was originally a Hongshan Temple on the mountain. In front of the temple, due to the unique terrain and changeable wind directions, the raindrops crisscrossed each other during rainfall, so there was a wonder of "Hongshan Rainweaver", which is one of the eight scenic spots in Xiamen. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong stationed troops here, called Jiayu Village, and the ruins still exist.
