Sharing my tips for a 3-day 2-night trip to Xiamen, for friends who are thinking of going there soon🌟 ✈️Travel - Cost 1600💰(round trip) ◾️I left from Chengdu at the end of June, and the round-trip airfare was reasonable, but it might be a bit more expensive now due to the summer holidays 🏨Accommodation - Cost 1500💰(two nights) ◾️I stayed at the Ruiyi Hotel, which is close to Gulangyu Island. I chose a sea-view room, and the scenery was indeed nice with good value for money. The hotel was very popular, the only downside was that check-in was only available after 3 pm, so I had to wait half a day at the hotel, and to get takeout, I had to go to the parking lot at the back 🍽️Dining - Cost 1750💰(three days) ◾️Tianjie Fu Seafood Stall - 300💰: A must-visit restaurant, the place is small but the taste is really good, the seafood is fresh, and it's good value for money. I recommend the seafood roll and oyster pancake ◾️Zuiyi No.1 Seafood Stall - 750💰: Another must-visit restaurant, it seems to be more popular than Tianjie Fu, with a richer menu. Every dish is good, I recommend the lemon crab and ginger duck, but the spicy frog is just so-so ◾️Tangyan · Old Xiamen Private Kitchen - 350💰: A must-visit restaurant, featured in 'The Taste', many celebrities have dined here. I really recommend their yellow croaker with vermicelli, even as someone who doesn't like fish, I found it delicious. The soup is very fresh, and the crispy taro duck is also good (Zhao Lusi loves it too) ◾️Lychee Couple · Seafood Private Kitchen - 350💰: This one leans more towards private kitchen style, with a variety of dishes and stronger flavors. The cold fish belly is very tasty, and the pork bone tea is also good. Honestly, the number one ranked golden soup seafood stew was just average 🏝️Attractions - Cost 190💰(Gulangyu ferry ticket + attractions) ◾️Shapowei: A trendy spot for taking photos, with many stalls selling trinkets. There are some popular photo spots so it's quite crowded. Taking the elevator, you can take pictures at the Shapowei rainbow wall (you must muster the courage to take photos, as everyone below is watching you) ◾️Gulangyu: Buy ferry tickets in advance on 'Yu Jian Xiamen'. I bought a luxury boat VIP cabin, which was really comfortable on the way there, with no need to queue for security checks and direct access to the lounge with staff reception. The VIP cabin is comfortable, but the return trip was on a regular boat. To be honest, Xiamen is too hot, and it's really hard to walk around the island. I ended up paying 50 for a sightseeing car ◾️Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street: It's like many cities' snack and shopping streets, nice to stroll around, but the food is just so-so ✅Conclusion Overall, Xiamen is a very suitable city for travel. If it doesn't rain, the scenery is really beautiful, the sky is very blue, but it's a bit hot recently. The locals are also very warm and hospitable. Chatting with many locals, everyone seems very nice. The food tastes are acceptable, and I will definitely go again if I have the chance, to visit other attractions that I didn't get to check out

The long-missed familiarity always evokes a poignant nostalgia. I find myself wandering aimlessly through the old town area from time to time, with familiar streets filled with memories. Zhongshan Road, Xiaxi Road, Siming East Road, Xinhua Road, Siming North Road, Kaiyuan Road, Dayuan Road, Datong Road, Siming West Road, Siming South Road, Zhenhai Road, and countless other small streets and alleys that I can't remember or have never paid attention to, weave through and connect. This is a labyrinth of memories, with clear or vague impressions, comparing the present scenes with the past, looking for differences or similarities. The city changes day by day, the neighborhoods constantly renew, and memories evolve accordingly. Sometimes, the more I try to remember something, the more it blurs. Rivers deposit silt, and time also presses pause secretly in some corners, these scattered fragments prevent the past from being easily erased.

So happy that I visited Xiamen a few weeks ago, and it was such a great experience! My friends brought me to Zhongshan Road, which is a popular pedestrian shopping street in Xiamen. The vibe was chill and full of happiness. It's good for relaxing, window-shopping, and having some good foods with your loved ones. It's located only 23-25 minutes driving from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport. It's also close to the Ferry Terminal if you want to/coming back from Gulangyu Island. #winhkflight

It takes about six hours to arrive at Xiamen Station from Changsha. It's a ten-minute walk to the hotel, close to the subway entrance. Since the subway lines in Xiamen are not very comprehensive, we mostly took taxis. On the first day, we spent 35 yuan on a ferry to Gulangyu, a good place for taking photos and sightseeing. The food on the island is decent, and we relied on walking. We didn't finish touring the island and then went to the beach. In the evening, we went to Zengcuo'an for delicious food and bought some local specialties. On the second day, we visited Xiamen University and took a sailboat to the clean sandy beaches. On the third day, we went to Shapowei and Jimei School Village. Inside Jimei University, there are small electric cars for rent. If you don't want to walk, you can rent one for twenty yuan per hour. On the fourth day, we took the high-speed train back to Changsha. Impressions: The drivers are very enthusiastic, the overall quality of the citizens is good, the greening is very nice, the housing prices are really quite high, the oysters are really delicious, and I will come again next time.

Location: Zhongshan Pedestrian Street City: Xiamen, Fujian Xiamen has beautiful beaches and beautiful islands. There is a beautiful pedestrianised only street called Zhongshan Street in the middle of the main island. You can see the iconic white Qi Lou buildings and nice palm trees.
