The beach at Yefengzhai is worth checking out whatever the weather. If it's raining, you'll have the place to yourself, but if the weather is good, your photos will look even better! The huge coconut forest and Ocean Science Park are both worth a visit if you have time. Go upstairs in the Science Park to find a pyramid-shaped construction which is sure to wow your Instagram followers.

Just got back from a five-day trip to Xiamen, and I have some harsh truths to share!
I've just returned from Xiamen, brimming with travel tips and some hard truths I need to tell you! Xiamen in May is unbelievably beautiful, but there are also plenty of tourist traps. Don't worry, I'm here to help you avoid them! 🌩️🎒
📌 Don't go to the wrong ferry terminal for Gulangyu; the Xiamen-Gulangyu Terminal is the way to go. Don't waste a trip! 🚤
💰 Luxury ferry ticket? Forget it! A regular ticket for 35r will do the trick, spending that extra 1 yuan to go upstairs is really not worth it! 💸
⏰ Arrive at the terminal 50 minutes early; if you're late, you lose everything, as ferry tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable. Missing it is like throwing away a piece of waste paper! ⏳
🛍️ Don't buy things on Gulangyu; the prices on the island are frighteningly high! 💸
🌿 Enter the Wanshi Botanical Garden through the west gate; the popular succulent garden is just a stone's throw away. Don't take the long way around! 🌵
🌅 Watch the sunrise at Huangcuo and the sunset at Baicheng Beach. Don't mix them up; each is not to be missed! 🌄
🏖️ Yefengzhai Beach is less crowded and has beautiful scenery. Go check in and enjoy the tranquil beauty! 📷
🐬 Kinmen Dolphin Base is not that easy to encounter dolphins, if you're short on time, skip it! 🚢
🛍️ Zengcuo'an is too commercialized, honestly not much to see! 🚶♂️
🚇 Line 1 is super beautiful, don't miss it. Go directly to Jimei School Village for a walk, it's stunning! 🚌
📷 Lishui Reservoir 'Little Switzerland', a great place for taking photos on the big lawn, come and blow up your social media! 🌳
👣 Walk the Mountain and Sea Trail in the evening, take in the beautiful views of the Pan Tower, and remember to wear something comfortable! 🌆
🚗 Driving in scenic areas on holidays is asking for traffic jams, parking is difficult and expensive, better to use public transportation for an easy tour! 🚌
🦞 Zuoyihao Seafood Stall at the intersection of Sibei Road, authentic old Xiamen taste, it's a miss if you don't try it! 🍲
My itinerary:
Day1: Arrive in Xiamen
Day2: Jimei School Village → Nanjing Tulou → Yunshuiyao → Heguilou → Huaiyuanlou
Day3: Nanputuo Temple → Island Ring Road → Zengcuo'an
Day4: One-day tour of Gulangyu → International Architecture → Gangzaihou Beach
Day5: Sea foraging experience

My sisters have organized some Xiamen travel tips, hoping to help everyone
1. If you're going to Gulangyu, make sure to arrive at the ferry terminal at least 50 minutes in advance. Don't be late! The ferry tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable, and they expire after the scheduled ferry time. Don't buy things on Gulangyu, as they are expensive on the island.
2. Watch the sunrise at Huangcuo and the sunset at Baicheng Beach. Don't mix them up!
Yefengzhai Beach has fewer people and is recommended for checking in.
3. It's really hard to encounter dolphins at the Kinmen Dolphin Base, so if you're short on time, you can pass on it.
4. Zengcuo'an is not worth visiting, as it's very commercialized. Better to avoid it.
5. You must check out the beautiful Line 1, it's definitely worth it! Go directly to Jimei School Village for a walk.

Xiamen's guide to the most beautiful spots for sunrise and sunset
The sunrise over the sea is the romantic moment every traveler dreams of. 🌅💖 Xiamen, this city, hides such treasure spots, waiting for you to discover. 🧳✨
Huangcuo Beach is the place that makes you fall in love at first sight. 🏖️💫 The reefs on the sea surface are like a stage carefully set by nature, just for that moment of sunrise. 📸✨ And on the Island Ring Road, those homestays not far from Huangcuo are all telling the story of the sea. 🌊🏠
Yefengzhai Beach is just a few steps away, where you can encounter different tranquility and beauty. 🚶♂️🌴 The water is clear, the sand is soft, and the sunrise here has an indescribable gentleness. ⛱️🌞 If the bustle of Huangcuo Beach is not what you wish for, then Yefengzhai is your secret escape. 🌺🛖
Haiyun Terrace is the place close to Xiamen University, even closer to the sunrise. 🏫🌄 An early morning bike ride, or a lazy taxi ride, are all for capturing that moment of sunrise. 🚴♀️🚕 Brief and beautiful, it's worth every effort you make.
The Mountain and Sea Trail's beauty is not just about the sunrise. 🌲🌅 The parallel lines on the east and west sides are the best spots to watch the sunset. 🌄🚶♀️ The high perspective makes the sunrise over the sea even more magnificent.
Yin Guanyin Mountain Beach, broad and quiet, is a treasure spot known by few. 🌊🙏 If your itinerary includes the Guanyin Fantasy World, then you can't miss the sunrise here. 🎡🌅
The Convention and Exhibition Center might be the most unexpected spot to watch the sunrise. 🏢🌞 Few people, beautiful scenery, and a high degree of freedom, the perfect moment of sunrise is waiting for you here.
The West Coast Romantic Line/East Coast Romantic Line, though outside the island, but the clear water and fine sand all tell the story of the sea's romance. 🚤🏝️ Moreover, the nearby Xiataiwei Park, mangroves, and sea-viewing platform are all worth a visit. 🌳🌉
The chapter of sunset is equally splendid. 🌇💞
Baicheng Beach is not just about the story of the sea, but also the romance of the sunset. 🏖️🎶 The bands playing next to the cafes and bars make your summer full of music and youth. 🎵☕
Bay Park, the sunset in the city, has its own flavor. 🌆🚢 Sometimes, large ships shuttle through, like a scene from a Miyazaki film, full of harbor flavor. ⛴️🌿
Niu Tou Shan Park, the ultimate romance of sunset. 🌄🎡 Ferris wheel, trains, and the indescribably beautiful sunset are all here waiting for you to explore.
The Music Square and the Mountain and Sea Fitness Trail are those hidden beauties in everyday life. 🎶🏞️ On one side is the image of sunlight penetrating the fence, and on the other side is the romance of sailboats dancing with the sunset. ⛵🌇 Every step you take, you can feel different kinds of beauty.
Shili Changti is a beautiful journey about the sea and sunset. 🚉🌅 Take the sea train, pass through Miyazaki's fantasy, and greet the music and sunset by the sea. 🎼🌊 Then, the delicacies along Shigu Road will make this experience even more fulfilling. 🍽️🎆
Zhonggu Cableway offers a unique perspective to watch the sunset from above. 🌅🚠 It starts in the greenery of the botanical garden and ends with the romance on the cableway, each moment like a scene from a movie.
Tuji Sunset Pier is the sunset observation point of your dreams. 🌄☕ Choose a coffee shop, savor coffee while enjoying the sunset, this comfort is enough to make one forget the troubles of the world.
Yanwu Bridge Viewing Platform is the romantic path connecting the sea and the sky. 🌉🌅 Whether driving or walking, the moment of sunset is a feast for both the eyes and the soul. And the opposite Gulangyu adds a bit of poetry.
Xiamen, this city, tells its own unique story about sunrise and sunset. 🌅🌇 Each spot has its unique beauty, waiting for us to discover and feel. Here, every journey chasing the sunrise and sunset is a trip about discovering and feeling beauty. 🚶♂️💖
Whether it's the early morning by the sea or the twilight in the evening, every wait brings different surprises and emotions. The meaning of this trip is not only in the beauty of the scenery but also in the mood and experience on the road. ✨🧳
Let's continue to explore Xiamen and every corner of the world with a longing for beauty, and feel those most real and touching moments with our hearts. 🌍💫

Xiamen Travel Tips & Precautions
||🏠Accommodation
Choosing a place near Zhongshan Road pedestrian street is very convenient
🚕Transportation
Public transportation and subway are very convenient
📸Attractions
Free
Gulangyu: About the boat ticket, you can buy it in advance through the mini program or buy it on site. The first pier is 50 yuan for a round trip. You can return from any pier on the island.
Coconut Wind Village: A small popular beach with few people and very photogenic, recommended
Shapowei: There are many second-hand shops on the street, it's fun. There's no need to go to the West District, you can check in at the word wall
Zhongshan Road: Not recommended, it's just like an ordinary commercial snack street
Xiamen University: Need to make an appointment in advance, you can enter after 1pm in the afternoon
Jimei School Village: You can stroll around, it's not big, there are electric cars that can go in, pay attention to the no-parking zone
Qingshui Palace: About the plane, the old man should tell you what time it is. Basically, when everyone stands up, it's almost time
💰Charges
Botanical Garden 15/30: Actually, it is recommended to enter and exit from the west gate. The main rainforest and 🌵 succulent area are in the first two, one kilometer and eight hundred meters respectively. It's a bit tiring to climb up the slope, but it's very photogenic
Cable Car 80: There is no student ticket. If it's cloudy, there's no need to go up. You can't see anything. It takes 40 minutes to go back and forth
Sunlight Rock 25/50: You can see the whole view when you climb to the top, it's very high and there are many people, it's hard to climb, but it's a must on a sunny day
🎁Souvenirs
After seeing a lot, I finally feel
Aji Boy: Coconut cake, mung bean cake
Huang Yuantang Pineapple Cake: Pineapple Cake
It is recommended to taste it yourself. We tasted all of Zhongshan Road and felt that the crust was a bit hard and very sweet. It may have been left outside for a long time and it was a bit dry and disappointing. ⭐But the one we went to on the way to Shapowei was very delicious, although there were few people, but the sweetness and crust were just right
🍜As for food, I won't make too many recommendations, just mention a few phenomena
First of all, the only one I recommend is 🍰Wild Strawberry Free Market. The pizza, roast chicken, pork chop, fried rice with pork, and souffle are all very delicious. But if you have to choose, the most popular roast chicken is not recommended, because there are many people and it's slow to serve, and it's not as amazing as the pork chop
The rest are a few phenomena that you can choose to eat or not
Rice dumplings: Ordinary ones have peanuts 🥜 inside, and some even have dried shrimp skin. Anyway, I personally don't like it
Satay noodles: The taste is a bit light, but after eating it, you will feel very salty and thirsty. Bring more water
Fried pork loin: It's mediocre, not too bad, but not that good either
🖌️Cultural and Creative
Here is a refrigerator sticker. On Gulangyu Island, there is a small window on the coastal road from Haoyue Island to the pier. It's very complete, 5 yuan each, it's the cheapest and most complete one I've seen
ExpeditionDreamer#555
Don't just go to Gulangyu when you come to Xiamen! There are also many other scenic spots here.
When you come to Xiamen, don't just go to Gulangyu Island! There are also many beautiful places here. This time, I was deeply romanticized by the seaside of the island ring road. 🌹
Take some time to relax and feel the lazy afternoon.
Walk along the Huangcuo beach towards the direction of Yefeng Village 🌊
Under the glow of the setting sun, it's almost too easy to take great photos.
Route suggestion: Start from Wan Yue Po and follow the beach to Coconut Wind Village Beach.
Check-in spots: Half-Coffee (the perfect outdoor café for daydreaming and enjoying the sea breeze), Off Word (experience luxurious barbecue camping), and more.
✨Don't rush when traveling, learn to waste time.
✨Feel the healing and relaxing moments intensely.

Opening time: All day
Yangfengzhai is very famous in Xiamen, this is A beach full of coconut trees. If you are riding a bicycle, you can lock the bicycle and fly to the beach to play. When the sky is not bright, you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise here. Of course, you should choose the good weather.
The coconut palms are across the sea and the size of the Golden Gate, and the large slogan "One Country, Two Systems, Unification of China" stands. If the weather is fine, visitors can also see the "Three People's Principles, Unification of China" on the opposite side of Kinmen Island
coconut Fengzhai is a good place to swim in Xiamen's Huandao Road. There are no tickets here. There is a fee for hosting the item. However, if you just want to be hydrophilic, you can wet your feet. The sand here is still good, although not very fine. The scenery is pretty, you can take a leisurely stroll here.
