The scenic spots in Xiamen are really good, and another very good thing is Xiamen’s food. If you have the opportunity to go to Xiamen, you must try it. Now I will introduce to you about Xiamen. Let’s go check out some of the delicious food and attractions.

March-May and September-November are the best times to travel to Xiamen, with neither cold nor hot and a pleasant climate. I went there in January, and it wasn’t particularly cold. At that time, I wore cotton-padded jackets in Chongqing, but Xiamen was very warm just wearing a sweater and skirt. Preparation before departure

1. Sunscreen and sunglasses: When I go there in winter, there is a lot of sun and strong ultraviolet rays, so if you go in summer, you must wear sunscreen!! Especially for girls! !

2. Slippers: You can use them when going to the beach

3. ID card/student ID card/bank card: student ID cards provide 50% off at attractions, and can be found in many stores in Xiamen Use Alipay or WeChat, so you may or may not bring a bank card. If you don’t bring a bank card, be sure to bring a small amount of cash with you just in case.

4. Anti-mosquito spray: It is a must-have if you have a mosquito-attracting constitution like mine.

5. Gastrointestinal medicine: Xiamen has a lot of seafood, so you can bring a small amount of medicine to treat diarrhea. , just in case

6. Toiletries: This depends on personal habits. I am used to using my own toiletries every time I go out, so I will bring them with me, and many youth hostels now do not provide toiletries.

For air tickets, I choose Ctrip (sometimes it is very cost-effective to combine high-speed rail with air tickets), Fliggy and Tongcheng Travel (these two are some Sometimes there will be an event of 30 off every hour)

For food and accommodation, I usually watch or buy in groups on Meituan and Dianping

Round-trip ticket:

Go: On January 8, 2016, I started a 5-day trip to Xiamen. The flight ticket was booked on Ctrip on the evening of the 6th. The ticket was taken from Chongqing to Quanzhou Jinjiang Airport at 7:10 on the 8th and then took the high-speed rail from Quanzhou High-speed Railway Station to Xiamen. The price per day was about 450. The distance between the seats on the China Southern Airlines plane was relatively small. I only brought one bag with me at the time, so I didn’t choose to check it in. If you are going to take a China Southern Airlines flight, it is better to bring the luggage from the store with you. There used to be a direct bus from the airport to the high-speed rail station, but it had been canceled when I went there, so I took a taxi. It took more than half an hour and cost about 70 yuan.

Reply: I bought a flight from Xiamen to Chengdu at 12:10 on Fliggy, a flight of ***565
