The Gourmet Globe Trotter I could spend a whole day in Xiamen tourism here
Taking advantage of the free time to take the family to Gulangyu,
Because it's not very convenient with children,
So choose to stay in a hotel and roam.
I searched online for a long time for hotels and homestays,
Finally chose Daifeng, full of surprises after check-in.
The three-story small villa with red bricks and danwa,
Located in the center of Gulangyu, quiet in the midst of noise.
The leisurely courtyard on the first floor,
Cats can be seen everywhere, lazy and comfortable.
The third floor where I stayed has a 270-degree panoramic view,
The scenery is so good that it explodes, and the windows in the room can see Sunlight Rock.
The Xiamen landmark Twin Towers, the Green Hair Building,
Gulangyu attractions Sunlight Rock, Bagua Building, etc. are clearly visible.
Drinking afternoon tea on the balcony outside the third floor, looking at the beautiful scenery,
Comfortable and at ease, escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, quietly daze,
Don't be too comfortable! Highly recommend to friends who are coming to Gulangyu for a visit!

Xiamen Botanical Garden Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Big park
I was recommended to make a trip to the botanical garden when I was visiting Xiamen for the first time and I absolutely loved it. I spent a few hours walking around and could not cover everything. Beautiful flowers and palm trees.
You can actually get some good exercise climbing to the top of the mountain but there are also the option to take the shuttle bus.
The most popular place to take pictures are by the cactuses. They are super cool.

The Botanical Garden is a bucketlist item when visiting Xiamen. It is located on the southern side of the island, close to Xiamen University, the cable car, Shapowei and Zhongshan Road. It usually costs 40¥ to enter, but entry is free during the major public holidays.
It is recommended to set aside about 3-5 hours to explore the gardens, as there is a lot to see.
The gardens are home to around 4000 different plant species, and are divided in different sections, like the bamboo forrest, succulent garden or Pine and Fern Garden.
There are also plenty of temples to see, and beautiful lawns to have a picnic, or take a nap on.
It is a great place to take the kids, or to see some interesting plants and beautiful scenery

The Zhongshan pedestrian road in Xiamen 👍☺️
#timetotravel
One of the most underrated tourist destinations in Xiamen is the Zhongshan road where you can experience old Fujian! there are restaurants and shops as far as the eye can see! 👀☺️
I had authentic local food and filled my belly up with milk tea. Afterwards I enjoyed a curry 🍛 before eating famous tofu for dessert! I highly recommend a visit and guarantee you will not be disappointed!
#timetotravel #xiamen
It's a really Zhong walking street
A really long walking street with shops that seem to repeat every hundred meters. One of the great attractions, however, is that mopeds and cycles are prohibited (from riding at least) meaning your free to stroll at leisure free from fear of colliding with food delivery drivers and cyclists.
There are numerous food vendors along the street offering all manor of delights and a hint of old Xiamen can be seen in the buildings that line the road, from the upper floors atleast.
It's a nice street to walk, particularly at night. For a more authentic Xiamen experience venture off the different roads and narrow lanes that feed into Zhongshan Road.

Zeng Yi is the most lively street in Xiamen outside of Gulangyu. It is said to be a Linhai fishing village. Later, family hotels and art shops flourished. You can take a walk along the seaside trail to Baicheng Beach. The environment is electric, so the number of tourists now has grown in Gulangyu. However, relatively speaking, it is still much quieter than Gulangyu, and the tourists are mostly young people. The tourists here are mainly young couples looking for a quiet and beautiful getaway. Delicious tea and noodles are served in small and exquisite stores around in the fishing village. The location is also very good, out of the village, beautiful scenic views through the coastal road and the long beach trails on the beach, it feels very good to go for a walk here anytime in the evening.
Cheap & nice seafood

Huandao Road Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
In Xiamen, there is a most charming niche citywalk route that you absolutely cannot miss
That is the Island Ring Road. Here, you can watch the sunrise at Huangcuo Beach, feel the tranquility and beauty of the early morning. By evening, the sunset scenery of Baicheng is equally shocking. The beautiful scenery of the Island Ring Road is intoxicating, like a flowing scroll.
So, how can you enjoy all the charm of this route? Here is our carefully planned best sunset citywalk route for the Island Ring Road:
1. Huangcuo Beach: Start your journey, feel the intimate contact with the beach and the sea, and enjoy a unique tranquility.
2. Xitou Xia: Leave the beach, step into the seaside plank road, feel the unique chill atmosphere, and appreciate the clear sea water.
3. Music Square: Sit on the bench, let the sea breeze blow, listen to the melody of the sea, and enjoy a sense of comfort and comfort.
4. Tianquan Pedestrian Square: Continue to move forward, feel the greenery on both sides of the trail, and let your body and mind relax.
5. Pangui Tower: The final destination, where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset scenery. Looking at the Twin Towers, it seems that time has stopped.
We suggest you start from Huangcuo Beach around 3 pm, walk slowly, and appreciate slowly, about 2 hours later you will reach Pangui Tower. It is sunset time, you can wait quietly for the sun to slowly sink below the sea level, and feel that wonderful moment. There are many cafes in the Huangcuo Wanyuepo area that offer beach afternoon tea service, where you can enjoy a wonderful time.
The Island Ring Road in Xiamen gives you a different citywalk experience, you absolutely cannot miss it!
Best Rooftop Terrace in Xiamen (Wanna Roof)
The experience I had at this location is like traveling to Hawaii for a vacation with Latin flavor. The design of the restaurant, the terrace, the color of the wall (Orange wall), the musical selections and the live Band makes this location the best place for tourist that wants to experience life in Xiamen.
The environment is great. Although there were a lot of people, I had to wait in line, In the end,I felt it was worth it.
The scenery at night was great. I will recommend going in the evening, take some lovely pictures with the orange walls (I would suggest colorful clothes) and then have a romantic dinner with Sea View. #rooftop #sea View #terrace #staycation #summervacation #awesomepic #beachlife #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog #beachlife #foodie #passionpassport #nationalpark #
