Xiamen 2-Day Value Tour, take advantage of this weekend to easily get all the wonderful experiences!

🌴This summer, you have to visit the seaside at least once. Having been to Xiamen 3 times, I have summarized this comprehensive Xiamen city walk guide for everyone. Please join me in appreciating the beautiful scenery of Xiamen, 💖 and experience the natural landscape and cultural atmosphere here. Next, let's step into this charming city together! 🌸 🎉A meticulously arranged 2-day and 1-night itinerary for you: 🌅Day1: Gulangyu Island → Zhongshan Road → Shapowei → Baicheng Beach Upon arriving in Xiamen, you can immediately feel the warmth and vitality of the city. The architecture, cuisine, beaches, and music here will definitely help you relax completely! 🏰In the morning, we head to Xiamen's most famous island—Gulangyu Island. From 'XiaGu Wharf' take a ferry to 'Sanqiu Wharf', with a round-trip ticket costing ¥35. After landing on the island, I chose to take a sightseeing bus for 50 yuan. There are many attractions near the transfer station: Shuzhuang Garden, Sunlight Rock, Gangzaihou Beach are all here. Of course, you can also choose to walk, strolling around the whole island with 7000 steps! 🍜Then we go to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street to taste the food, where all kinds of authentic Minnan snacks are waiting for you to try! In addition to food, there are also artistic craft shops, cafes, and bookstores here. Sit in a store for an afternoon and experience the slow life of Xiamen. 🌊In the afternoon, we head to the beautiful beach. Standing on the beach by the sea, feeling the breeze, and listening to the singing of the waves, it's as if you have merged into the embrace of the sea. 🏢Day2: Xiamen University → Nanputuo Temple → Wuyuanwan Sailing → Qingshui Palace → Jimei School Village → Ten-mile Long Embankment As one of China's most beautiful campuses, 'Xiamen University' is a spot you can't miss. Afterwards, head to 'Nanputuo Temple', where standing at the high point of the temple, you can overlook the entire beauty of Xiamen. 'Ten-mile Long Embankment' has bands performing, and under the sunset, the atmosphere is absolutely perfect! Here, you can definitely forget about the tedious work and relax properly. 🍢Specialty food recommendations: 🍲For friends who like food, you must visit Xiamen's Eighth Agricultural Market, commonly known as 'Ba Shi'. Here, you can taste many local snacks: Satay noodles, oyster omelette, four-fruit soup, Tusan Dong, ginger duck... each one is a unique taste of Xiamen, it is recommended to try more and taste the freshness, there will definitely be unforgettable flavors. 🍜How can you not try the local seafood when you come to Xiamen? Here I recommend a few authentic old shops for everyone. 'Lao Su's Small Stall' is said to be the top 1 in the hearts of locals, a family-style seafood stir-fry, order based on ingredients, and the boss will suggest cooking methods, delicious and not expensive, you must try it. 'Haoshi Lai Big Stall' has been an old shop in the community for 30 years, oyster rice is their signature dish, a must-order. Because it's quite crowded, you need to queue up, so it's recommended to come early. 💡Travel tips: 🍲When buying seafood, please pay attention to the merchant's weighing to avoid being switched. 👡Prepare a pair of slippers for the beach to fully enjoy playing in the water and stepping on the sand! 💥The sun is strong by the sea, it's best to have sunglasses ready, and also pay attention to sun protection. 💕Xiamen, a city worth your heartfelt experience and discovery. 🌺 🌟Come on, this weekend, let's step into Xiamen together, feel the infinite charm of this city, and create our own beautiful summer memories! 🌹
