Which is more fun, Hainan or Xiamen?

Overview of Xiamen: Xiamen, also known as Ludao, is a national civilized and hygienic city and the most livable city of the United Nations. The climate is mild in all seasons, and the annual temperature is between 2 and 36 degrees. Xiamen Island is surrounded by the sea, and there is a mountain range in the south-central part of the island. The central city is mainly concentrated in the Yaodang Lake area between the two mountains, with a population of about 654.38+00,000. The urban area is small and the traffic is smooth. It takes about 50 minutes to drive around the island.

A: Eat and drink.

A 1) High-end restaurants mainly include Shuyou, Kerry and Harbour City. Among them, Kerry's cucumber broth and seamount bone are a perfect match, and the tofu pudding dessert after dinner is very smooth and sweet. In other stores, we can eat abalone wings from all over the country, which tastes good. Kerry and Harbour City both have branches by the sea, and seascape cuisine is really a highlight.

A2) The middle and high-end restaurants are mainly peonies and elegant buildings. Among them, octopus and frozen bamboo shoots in Yazhu are signature dishes. Peony's new hotel is a five-star standard. In fact, the food inside is delicious and the price is very affordable. Bailuzhou "blessed house" has a good geographical environment, and you can see the night view of Xiamen at night, and the price is also real. Many restaurants recommend Longtu Soup, a specialty of Xiamen, which is known as aphrodisiac, but most of them are farmed now, and the actual effect is average. It is recommended to order a soup similar to perch and eel, which tastes better. Large and small restaurants generally have fried crabs, which is a characteristic practice in Xiamen and can reflect the delicacy of crabs. When ordering, ask the store whether to choose the unique "swallow crab" in Xiamen. The appearance of this variety is similar to that of ordinary crabs, but the fried crab paste is yellow, fragrant and refreshing, which is much more delicious than the common red crab.

A3) The food stall recommends Yaling Restaurant under Shangli Reservoir. Boiled squid can be added with live shrimp in the broth. The soup is refreshing and sweet, and the wine is great. Other seafood is also complete. At the A 'ai food stall opposite the first kindergarten, the specialties are melon seeds (from May to 65438+ 10 every year), fried sour bamboo shoots with fish belly, mixed fish sauce, cold snails, fried crabs and so on. The boss buys his own food every day, so most of the raw materials are fresh and tender, and the price is very affordable; The food stall of Zengji basketball court in Zeng Cuo An Village is a place where villagers often get together. Rich in raw materials, the price is real. The specialty is fish porridge. The fried dried bean curd in Baijiacun is a special pancake hot pot in Xiamen. Customers sit in the alley, cooking while cooking tofu and seafood on the frying pan, even if it smells like oil smoke.

A4) In rural areas around Xiamen, people usually buy seafood, spiced food and other raw materials for weddings, funerals and feudal festivals, such as Purdue, and invite special chefs to sit in the yard at home. Because the raw materials are authentic, the chef will not cut corners, so the dishes are original, fresh and hygienic. It is not easy for friends and relatives to set up several tables to eat and drink. The more guests there are, the more face the host feels. I sometimes take friends from other places who come to Xiamen for a holiday to eat, and the host and guest enjoy themselves.

A5) Xiamen University has also gathered various cuisines from all over the country, the most famous of which is the Sichuan cuisine of "Erwa Boiled Live Fish" behind Maben New Village. "Xiangjiang Red" Hunan cuisine; "New Hakka Cuisine" Hakka cuisine, most well-known restaurants in China have branches in Xiamen. Japanese food, Thai food, Korean food, Brazilian barbecue, etc. Buddhism is very popular in Xiamen, and most families have shrines and tea sets, which is also a characteristic culture of southern Fujian. Therefore, many temples have vegetarian restaurants open to the public, and various business districts also have special vegetarian restaurants.

A6) Snacks mainly include satay noodles and duck porridge. Among the satay noodles, the "Li Si satay noodles" in lakeside Li Si vegetable market and the "Park satay noodles" in Baijia village are the most authentic, while the "Wutang satay noodles" in minzu road is famous and tastes good, but the service attitude is very general and the price is expensive. The "Fuyu Datong Duck Porridge" opposite Datong Primary School has the most authentic taste and is open 24 hours a day. There is "Moon Shrimp Noodles" shrimp soup on the side, which tastes mellow and does not lose the "Shrimp Noodles Brother" on the betel nut roadside. The "Wu Snack Bar" at the entrance of the mountain is authentic Wu's own cooking, as well as various authentic Xiamen snacks, such as taro and flat food. The "Jiawei snack bar" on the ferry is actually the former site of Wu. Many people mistakenly think that it is Wu's shop, but in fact it tastes very different. The old name "Haoxiangguan" used to have many snacks, but I don't know why the taste has deteriorated a lot in recent years, so I don't recommend it. The "Old Song Flat Food" opposite the Federal Square on Hexiang West Road has a smooth taste and is worth tasting. The old shop is near Bashi, so it is difficult to park. The "chain snack bar" in the cross lane of Jukou Street on Zhongshan Road is a must. Oysters are round and fresh, and the boss often cooks them himself. The cooking is just right. Sweet potato powder mixed with oysters, plus eggs, ginger, garlic and other spices, makes people drool. There are other snacks such as pig's foot soup and spring rolls in the shop, which are delicious, but the environment is relatively general, but compared with the food, it will make do. At the end of Jukou Street, there are two "Sisha Tea Barbecues", and the innermost one is more authentic. The barbecue of glass bottle lettuce and coke tastes first-class; "Li You salted duck" has now been circulated to various markets, with delicious taste and convenient drinking; The "Liang Ya" winter pink duck and five spices opposite Jingmin Hotel are authentic. The "Ginger Duck" on the street of BRT resettlement house in Xilin Gol is a casserole baked with muscovy ducks on the bottom of ginger. It's delicious. You can smell it from a distance.

A7) The "Laoliang Barbecue" and "Three Kingdoms Grilled Fish" opposite the Xianyue Road Cultural Center live next to each other, and you can have a beer barbecue on the roadside. The grilled fish and oysters in the Three Kingdoms are good, and Lao Liang's chicken wings and mutton kebabs are also good. The "Qigong Roasted Wings" grilled fish and roasted wings in Datang Shi Jia Street in the lake are delicious, and the materials and tableware are also very clean. The "Zheergen Grilled Fish" in Kaixuan Market of Hexiang East Road is added with herbs, so eating grilled fish will not get angry. The "Grilled Oyster" diagonally opposite Datong Primary School is a special dish, and roasted mussels are also good. Barbecue shops are usually open until 3 am.

A8) The coffee shops in Xiamen have a good environment, among which the coffee street in the west of Kelpolo Hotel is the most typical, facing the lake, with red flowers and green trees, blue sky and clear water. There are about 10 cafes in the street, most of which are converted from villas, all of which have open-air street seats. The delicious food at West Point is "Kalumbi", but the service is not very enthusiastic, and communication basically depends on shouting. It is suggested to find those shops with call service bells to avoid making loud noises, otherwise it will easily attract a bunch of supercilious eyes. This street is a gathering place for fashionable men, women and luxury cars in Xiamen, and you can often see Ferrari Lamborghini and other good cars. There are few parking spaces in this street, and the police copy cards frequently; There is a coffee shop "Miss Zhao's Shop" near Gulangyu Wharf. The music is good and the decoration is quite petty, which is suitable for being in a daze. The "Waterfront Coffee" on the edge of the second city is close to the lake in Zhongshan Park. The environment is elegant and the dishes are good. There are occasional concerts, movies and other activities. Several cafes along Nanhua Road of Xiamen University, such as Brown Sugar, are very close, with simple decoration and low consumption. Most of the customers are students. If you want to relive college life, it is a good choice. You can see some small coffee shops in the bustling area of Xiamen, which are small in size but have their own characteristics. It is common to meet surprises at the corner.

A9) The density of tea shops in Xiamen should be the highest in China. It is often seen that there are 5-6 tea shops on the street less than 100 meters. Tea shops in the streets are hospitable and will show the unique Kung Fu tea ceremony in southern Fujian, allowing customers to taste several different flavors for free. Even if you don't buy it after tasting, the store will send it with a smile (except for the tea shop designated by the tour group). Many tea shop owners grow their own tea in surrounding towns and villages, so tea is made. If ordinary tourists want to buy some home gifts for relatives and friends, they can buy a catty of 200 yuan and have something fresh and refreshing. Shops usually give exquisite independent small packages and gift boxes, as well as simple Kung Fu tea sets. Xiamen has no shortage of high-priced tea, which is suitable for tea ceremony experts to collect. Most Xiamen people have tea sets in their homes and companies, and guests are used to chatting while making tea, which is also a unique tea culture in Xiamen.

A 10) dessert is famous for "Huang Ze Peanut Soup" on Zhongshan Road; The "slime" shaved ice in the Federal Square of Hexiang West Road is very thin and has a faint milk flavor. The fruits, red beans and taro balls are all fresh. Eating a bowl in summer is really a refreshing enjoyment for taste buds. The store is small and crowded, so it's best to avoid the rush hour.

stay

B 1) There are many characteristic hotel in Xiamen, which are inexpensive and attractive. Recommendations in Gulangyu area: Nostalgia Inn, Huatang Inn, and Garden in Garden; Recommended in Zeng Cuo An Village: New Dream Tour, Outdoor Bar. For details, please refer to another article on my blog to explore characteristic hotel, Xiamen, and enter the title of the article on GOOGLE.

B2) Five-star hotel in Xiamen is about 10, and Chengjing Villa is a state guesthouse opened in 2008, and the price is about 1500 yuan. Although you can't see the direct sea in the room, it only takes 2 minutes to walk to the seaside, behind which is your own mountain, with vast green space and often national leaders. Yuehua Exhibition and Asia Bay Hotel are both near the sea around 600 yuan. Asian hotels also have their own beaches and wooden plank roads, about 8 kilometers away from the city center.

B3) There are many hotel-style apartments in the high-rise of the bustling area, all of which are small-sized apartments converted from residential houses. The price is about 150, the decoration is also good, and the cost performance is high. There are usually websites and photos, so you can search them. It's just said that the current procedures are not quite legal, but short-term residence should be no problem. Perfect for backpackers or weekends.

B4) There are many 3-4 star hotels in Xiamen. Jin Yan Hotel, owned by Xiamen Airlines, is opposite to Danghu Lake in the city center, so you can get your boarding pass directly in the lobby. Chain hotels such as Home Inn Hanting have several branches in Xiamen, but the cost performance is average. Hotels in Xiamen are often full during the National Day, Spring Festival and other major festivals, as well as during the China CIFIT on September 8 every year, so tourists should try their best to avoid these peak periods.

C: entertainment

C 1) Nightclubs mainly include Golden Bottle, A Generation of Beauty and Noah's Ark. Every nightclub has about 500 beautiful women or models who choose to drink with them. The minimum consumption of performance halls and boxes is generally above 800, and most people drink foreign wine. According to Martell's statistics in recent years, Xiamen is the city with the highest consumption of blue ribbon wine in the world. The first bottle of nightclub is real wine, and the next few bottles should pay attention to prevent fake wine. It is best to buy it before drinking too much. Tip the little sister 300, the mother 300, the beautiful model 300 or the equivalent flowers. If you have more money, you can send 1000 flower basket or 10000 crown. I heard that there are rooms and cars. There are many rich people in Xiamen, so it is not unusual to see profligate people in nightclubs. However, there are also many low-key rich people, some of whom look at ordinary people and are actually very rich. Noah's side dishes are various and delicious, and he is the owner of the book club restaurant. Generally speaking, the nightclub consumption in Xiamen is still slightly higher than that in other cities, but the choice of beautiful women is greater.

C2) At present, the most popular nightclubs are 180 1 and Duchamp Bar. There are many handsome guys and beautiful women: there are many people in KK disco in Bay Park, but the overall level of guests is average, and the music and honey juice are acceptable. There are two other bars in the north of the park, both of which are open-air. If you drink too much, you can just fall into the sea, but the music is noisy. The street atmosphere of the bar behind Kelpolo is very good, and there are many foreigners. There are several bars in Bailuzhou Photography Square, such as 1970, with elegant environment and unique decoration, which is also a good place to go. From Monday to Friday, big bars usually pay some beautiful women as guests to decorate. In fact, it is the same all over the country. The so-called leverage is the gimmick of the merchants, and the actual success rate is extremely low. Wine trays are rare in large-scale night shows in Xiamen, and drug abuse basically does not exist.

C3) Regular massage sauna, top grade is Regent, Hyatt Golden Collar, 1969 (Filipino female, strong), about 200 per person; The mid-range ones are Zhenyuantang, old houses and vats of water. Both are about 50 yuan 1 hour. In the old house, big barrels of water have set meals, snacks and fruits 24 hours a day. Zhenyuantang's full-body massage and technicians are more professional, but the ointment and hot compress promoted inside feel ordinary. Sauna shops with fancy signs often seen on the streets of Xiamen generally advocate that "heterosexual massage" is actually disguised pornography, which is similar to other cities in China.

C4) Self-service KTV, such as Happy Singing (6-7 branches), Kangkang Liu Ding, Song Orange, Crystal Love, Search Friends, etc., is highly competitive, so the decoration is higher than that of high-end KTV, and the consumption is also very cheap, and some of them are contracted to 60 yuan. Not only are there cheap supermarkets, but some even have dinner. The waiter is well trained and refuses to tip.

C5) Pancakes are a unique way to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival in Xiamen. It is said that it originated from Zheng Chenggong. Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets and alleys are filled with the jingle of throwing children and the laughter of adults and children, and all major shopping malls and restaurants have promotional activities according to the situation. As long as customers spend money in the store, they can shake their children once. There are many prizes, from drinks to cars. Many companies regard blog cakes as the welfare of employees, and many relatives and friends spontaneously raise money for blog cakes. The prize is not only moon cakes, but also money. Regardless of the position, it is determined by luck, and it is fair and transparent, and everyone is happy. For specific rules, please refer to my blog post: Xiamen Mid-Autumn Festival cake rules. In Xiamen, Mid-Autumn Festival is more lively than Spring Festival. If you happened to travel to Xiamen at that time, you should experience it for yourself. This is a national gambling entertainment with China characteristics, and it is also the embodiment of a harmonious society.

C6) Hot springs are the entertainment that Xiamen people are used to. Sun Moon Valley Hot Spring is 15km away from downtown. According to the five-star standard, the scale is very large. They can not only swim, play water polo, soak in more than 50 kinds of hot springs and enjoy various hydrotherapy, but also climb rocks, massage sand sculptures and slates, and have an open-air meal, play cards or have fun. It is best to go after 16 to avoid the noise of tour groups. You can play until 23 o'clock, and the ticket is about 150. Lian Shanhai Hot Springs is on the island-circling road, 8km away from Asia Hotel 1km and the urban area, with few tourists. There is an open-air independent hot spring in the cabin, which is suitable for couples. The hot spring of Garden Expo Park is 15km away from the urban area, which is small in scale and can be rebuilt. Cuifeng Hot Spring is 50 kilometers away from the city. The air in mountainous areas is fresh, and the distance from hot spring pools in public areas is small, but the rooms are elegant and suitable for star watching.

C7) Keeping dogs is very common in Xiamen, but Xiamen law stipulates that large dogs can't be taken out of the house even if they are certified. Although unreasonable, it is generally not very strict. More suitable places for walking dogs are the wooden plank road around the island, Wuyuan Bay and Coffee Street. Walking the dog is a kind of happiness for dogs, and it is also a kind of exercise and entertainment for people. Families with children can also cultivate their love. I took my Liu Li to bars, nightclubs, restaurants, cafes and so on. As long as it does not affect others and pays attention to hygiene, people and dogs can be happy together. In nightclubs, many beautiful women ask questions and grope around my Liu Li. I don't think this is entertainment that simple money can buy.

C8) Shopping centers mainly include World Trade Plaza near the railway station, Farming Plaza in Toyama business district and SM Plaza in Jiangtou. The style of Zhongshan Road in Xiamen is similar to that of Nanjing Road in Shanghai, but it is much smaller. Because parking is not very convenient, there are fewer locals shopping there, but Jukou Street Branch on Datong Road is a favorite place for locals. Hexiang West Road is covered with all kinds of boutique clothing stores, which is an ideal choice for petty bourgeoisie. Maybe I don't like shopping. I think the shops in Xiamen are similar to those in other parts of the country, and the prices are not particularly favorable. Of course, physique MM likes to wander around, but she can still find good and cheap things.

D: exercise

D 1) has three golf courses, so it is easy to rent golf cards from golf shops. The total cost of 18 hole is about 400 yuan. Dongfang Stadium is 15km away from downtown. Fairways and clubs are good, so they are very popular, so it is not easy to book. 27 holes, 2 seaside fairways, 1 mountain fairway, I don't accept tips. Kaige Stadium is 30 kilometers away from the urban area, and the 18 hole will be expanded to 36 holes by the end of 2009. The fairway is ok, the surrounding factories are slightly noisy and dusty, and the tip is 50; Nantaiwu Stadium is located in Zhangzhou City, but there is a speedboat shuttle service at Yi Tong Wharf in Xiamen. You can see the sea view in 30 minutes. Clubhouse and fairway are general, the coastline is about 3 kilometers, and the tip is 100. There are also two 9-hole courses in the city center, located in the Botanical Garden and the Li Reservoir on Wenzeng Road, respectively, but the procedures are not open to the public. If you have internal acquaintances, you can try. There are two golf driving ranges in downtown Xiamen, Yi Ming Garden opposite the Oriental Asia Bay Hotel and Huandao Road of the Sports Center. Many bank VIP cards can practice golf for free.

D2) It is suitable for swimming at the seaside about 10 km from Xiamen University to the exhibition area, where the sea water is clear and the air is fresh. The artificial beach around Guanyin Mountain is the largest in Asia, but its texture is hard. You must pay attention to safety when swimming outdoors. The sea rises and falls with the tide, and it is easy to be involved in the deep sea when the tide ebbs, so try to swim within 30 meters from the shore and within the range where your feet can land. Both Atlanta Living Water Museum and Palm Springs have swimming pools and spas, but the lanes are small and crowded. Some public swimming pools are often overcrowded and are not recommended. Each hotel has its own swimming pool, and the swimming pools of Sheraton and Peony Hotel are all good.

D3) Mountain climbing and walking are also suitable. You can go to the Botanical Garden, Dongping Mountain or Huwei Mountain, all within 5 kilometers of the city. The whole climb takes about 3 hours, and you can enjoy all the lakes and mountains, beautiful city appearance and sea and sky. The wooden plank road around the island is about 6 kilometers from Xiamen University Baicheng to Asia Hotel. Passing through countless reefs along the way, you can often see rough waves lapping on the shore, breathing the fresh air by the sea and walking on the waves, which is a great enjoyment of life. There are about 5 kilometers of colorful sightseeing trails from Asia Hotel to the Convention and Exhibition Center. At the beginning of each year, Xiamen has an international marathon, which is known as the most beautiful track in China. The wooden plank road and wetland park in Wuyuan Bay have few tourists and are clean, about 10 km away from the city center. After dinner, you can take a walk along Danghu and enjoy the colorful night view of the building. Many foreign friends say that the night scene in Xiamen is like a large nightclub.

D4) There are two fishing centers in Xiti Mountain Villa and Wuyuan Bay, and 50 yuan every day. Fishing is free in Danghu area, and many people will charter a boat to go fishing offshore. Freshwater fishing in Xiamen University Reservoir and Dongping Mountain Reservoir on the island is very close to the city center. In Xiang 'an District outside the island, there are also some sea cage culture. In the evening, friends fish with luminous lights and beer by the fishing raft. Cooking and fishing from cages is a great pleasure without harvest.

D5) Basketball, volleyball, tennis and other ball games can find special places in Xiamen, mainly around the sports center and cultural center. Table tennis and badminton in Xiamen are more popular, and there are many venues. There have been world champions such as Guo Yuehua and Lin Ying. Billiards halls can also be seen everywhere, and there are two bowling alleys.

E: transportation

E 1) The airport is in the north of the island, 20km away from the city center. Take a taxi to 30 yuan. Xiamen Airport has a high flight density. There are more than 10 flights to Shanghai every day, which is similar to a bus. It is convenient to all cities in China, and there are also international flights from Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. Tickets websites such as "Where to Go" have monthly ticket curves. Pick a day with the lowest price. Generally, you can arrange a short trip to Xiamen on weekends and other free time. I have been to Shanghai 199, Chongqing 190, Wuhan 260 and Shenzhen 200, all of which are calculated according to the lowest day on the map, saving money and having a great sense of accomplishment.

E2) The railway is not very developed, and the train environment is very general. It is not recommended to come to Xiamen by train. It is said that the official said that the new railway station will be completed by the end of 2009 and the new railway line will be opened to traffic. It takes only 90 minutes to Fuzhou and 3 hours to Shenzhen by train, which is clean and comfortable. Xiamen citizens are looking forward to it.

E3) The highway is perfect, with three expressways. I have been to Shanghai 13 hours, Wuhan 1 1 hour, Shenzhen for 6 hours and Guangzhou for 8 hours. Xiamen is very suitable for going to South China or East China's go on road trip. After the great construction in 2008, the speed of entering the island is very fast, and four bridges and a tunnel are about to be completed. The road network on the island is also relatively perfect, with slight traffic jams during peak hours, which is much better than Beijing and Shanghai.

E4) Most buses are clean and convenient. Xiamen has the first BRT bus system in China, which is somewhat similar to the elevated light rail. The government promises that only 1 transfer is needed between any two stations on the island. Buses will not be crowded, and they will take the initiative to give up their seats when they see the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, which is worthy of the title of national civilized city. The taxi starts from 8 yuan within 3km, and it only takes about 80 yuan to take a taxi around the island.

E5) For foreign tourists, it is recommended to walk if the distance is not far and they are not in a hurry. Xiamen is a sanitary city, most streets are clean and orderly, and Xiamen people are generally warm and friendly. Walking through the streets, you can not only experience the harmonious folk customs, but also visit various small shops and exercise, which really kills two birds with one stone. If you don't have the physical strength to take a taxi at any time, Xiamen taxis are not difficult to recruit.

F: Safe.

F 1) The overall public security is good, and there is basically no robbery in the urban area, so it is hard to say in the urban-rural fringe. There are pickpockets like bus attractions, but they are not arrogant. There are many scams in hotels, such as recruiting public relations, refunding phone bills, and dropping ingots. It is said that SMS fraud all over the country comes from a county town not far from Xiamen. In fact, as long as you habitually hesitate before paying the money and verify it from another angle, you can basically not be cheated. Generally speaking, the police in Xiamen are civilized in law enforcement. The police in 1 10 are very fast, and there are electronic eyes all over the city, which greatly shocked criminals. When tourists encounter difficulties, it is definitely right to call the police at the first time. Even the police will help with small things like unlocking.

F2) Cheating customers is rare in Xiamen, and a general complaint 123 15 can solve it. There are many restaurants in the scenic spot on Gulangyu Island, which are cheap, but the unit of measurement is "two" instead of the usual Jin. Many restaurants or shops just want to catch tourists and have no time to play tricks on theoretical characteristics. The inaction and ambiguity of the "relevant departments" have seriously tarnished Gulangyu's reputation, and the public is extremely angry, but it has not been improved. At present, we can only suggest that you try not to order food or spend money in scenic spots. If there is any dispute, you must confirm the price and complain actively. The so-called tourist souvenirs are not necessarily bought in scenic spots, but are generally available in major shopping malls and supermarkets. Xiamen is characterized by tea and pies, but in fact it can also be bought in other cities in China.

F3) People are friendly and hospitable, and there are few fights. Most people in Xiamen yearn to open a small shop and do business while making tea. They don't want to expand too much and work too hard. Although it is difficult to be rich or expensive, it is also enjoyable, which can be called petty bourgeoisie plus harmony. Of course, there may be some disharmony in Xiamen, because Xiamen is an inclusive city and its citizens come from all corners of the country. It is inevitable that sometimes the good and the bad are mixed, but overall it is still relatively civilized.

F4) Most northerners have never seen the power of a typhoon. They should pay attention to the weather forecast before coming to Xiamen. During a typhoon, it usually takes about 5 days, and flight delays, heavy rains, traffic disruptions, road water accumulation, and even water and electricity cuts are all possible. Be careful that billboards or branches of outdoor machines such as flower pots and air conditioners fall on the street and hurt people. Every year, many typhoons are predicted to attack Xiamen head-on, but the results are often near misses. The citizens think that the stone statue of Zheng Chenggong on Gulangyu Island is protecting Xiamen.

G: scenic spots

G 1) Gulangyu Island is only 5 minutes away from Xiamen Island. Sunlight Rock is the symbol of Xiamen, with many tourists and good scenery. In fact, the old villas along Zhangzhou Road are the most attractive in Gulangyu Island, because Gulangyu Island used to be a concession, and there are consulates all over the world in architectural style, and they are all classical structures in the 1930s, which are very nostalgic and worth spending a few days savoring. Some old villas have also been transformed into family hotels, and living in them has a unique flavor. Xiamen Museum itself is a classic building, also called Bagua Building. There are often organ exhibitions in it, which have a strong artistic and humanistic atmosphere. The scenery is good and there are not many tourists, so it is relatively clean.

G2) Although there are not many exotic flowers and grasses in the Botanical Garden, the overall vegetation is well maintained. In particular, the Baihua Hall inside is not as beautiful as Suzhou Garden, but it is also winding and secluded, which is refreshing and pleasant even in summer. There are many gardens with different themes in the Botanical Garden, which are suitable for rest and appreciation when climbing mountains, and also suitable for picking flowers.

G3) The Garden Expo Park is located on the offshore shore of the island, about 15km away from the city center, and it is a gathering of horticultural and architectural masterpieces from all over the country and even the world, and there is also a large-scale waterfront music fountain performance in the evening. A complete visit takes at least 2 days, which is worth savoring. I really have no time to travel by battery car. Half a day is enough.

G4) Nanputuo Temple is full of incense. During the Guanyin Christmas three times a year, there are crowds of people from the evening. The buildings in the temple have a long history and the statues are solemn. Vegetarian food tastes good, and vegetarian pie is made of green materials, which is suitable for making tea or giving gifts to relatives and friends. Next to the temple is Xiamen University, which is known as the most beautiful university campus in China. Surrounded by mountains and seas, there are two beautiful lakes, which are very suitable for serious study or love affairs.

G5) Jimei Olympic Garden is the mausoleum of Mr. Chen Jiageng. Its site selection, layout, stone carving and other details reflect the admiration of the general public, and it is also a treasure of architectural art in southern Fujian. Chen Jiageng, the flag of patriotic overseas Chinese in modern times, has always been an idol worshipped by thousands of people in Qian Qian, Xiamen. He donated the nearby Jimei School Village and Xiamen University on the island, but his personal life is simple, which is very suitable for businessmen to remember and learn. Tourists often complain about the uncivilized behavior of vendors and merchants at the door, and suggest not to shop or eat here.

There are many small scenic spots in Xiamen, such as Hu Lishan Fort, Bailuzhou Park, Haicang Wildlife Park and Ocean Park. From my point of view, it is not the best city in China, but if I have enough time, I might as well visit it.

H: suggested itinerary

The following are based on 2 days and 2 nights. If you have enough time, you can do it all at once or combine it freely. It is strongly recommended that you don't rush like a common tour group in Xiamen, and don't visit every scenic spot. Give priority to leisure and relaxation, sleep until you wake up naturally, and then decide where to go. When we are tired on the road, we should rest nearby or temporarily change our route.

H 1) Fresh route: 16:00. After the mansion, go to A 'ai food stall for dinner. After dinner, walk for 20 minutes to Bailuzhou to watch the night scene, have coffee in Coffee Street, and go back to Gulangyu Hotel to sleep around 22 o'clock. After waking up naturally in the morning, go to Wu Snack Bar for breakfast, then climb the mountain from the Botanical Garden to Nanputuo, eat vegetarian food at noon, take a walk on the campus of Xiamen University, massage in Zhenyuantang for about 1-2 hours, eat Haishan bone soup in Jialiwan Park in the evening, and go back to Gulangyu for a walk and rest after dinner. After getting up in the morning, visit Sun Guangyan, ancient buildings, museums or stroll in Gulangyu Island, and return by plane in the afternoon.

H2) Couple's route: 1 1: 00. After arriving in Xiamen, stay in Zeng Cuo An Village, Huandao Road, take a lunch at a food stall or Jiali. After dinner, take the wooden plank road by the sea for 3 kilometers to soak in the hot spring in Lian Shanhai cabin, and then watch the sunset at the seaside. Go to Yazhu for dinner to eat octopus, frozen bamboo shoots and so on. After dinner, I stopped by Hexiang West Road and ate some mucus shaved ice. Get up early and watch the sunrise at the seaside. After eating Sili Satay noodles, I went to Nanputuo to visit the campus of Xiamen University. Go to the Garden Expo Park after lunch break, watch the fountain performance in the park at 7 pm, and then go back to Xiamen 180 1 bar. Then go to eat grilled fish from the Three Kingdoms. Go to the airport after waking up naturally.

H4) Pet route: It is best to bring dogs to Xiamen by car, and it is best to avoid high temperature by air. Xiamen Airlines is an aerobic cabin with good service. Implement a pet-friendly hotel. Zeng Cuo An Village is the best, near the beach. There are usually open-air restaurants or cafes where dogs can be taken to eat. If you find an acquaintance, you can take the dog to a nightclub or bar. You'd better call first to confirm. Dogs are not allowed on large ferries. You can take the dog from the ferry to Gulangyu by speedboat and take pictures of the sea scenery. 50 yuan is very frequent on every ferry, arriving at 18: 00 at the latest. There is no car on Gulangyu Island, so dogs can let go. You can take a small wooden boat back to Xiamen Island at night. Huandao Road and Dongping Mountain are suitable for walking dogs. Many farmers on the roadside specialize in recruiting strawberries, and they can bring dogs with them, but they should take good care to prevent them from becoming "stepping on" strawberries. Don't take the dog to the shopping mall where there are many people such as Zhongshan Road. Be careful not to let the dog affect others, and clean up the dog's excrement in time. Carry a dog card with you. Generally, urban management will not be embarrassed to see a dog tag in other places.

In a word, Xiamen is an inclusive and elegant city. Self-cultivation, a variety of customs, sports and leisure, philandering, eating, drinking and being addicted to money can all develop harmoniously here.
