Other than that, it's good, though I wouldn't recommend it if it's too hot. Personally, I think the view from the elevator up is the best, with succulents and a rainforest vibe. The mini zoo has a fee, but overall, it's a good place to visit with kids.
Other cities visit zoos, but Xiamen visits the botanical garden, which is truly extraordinary. Many rare tropical plants are worth seeing, especially for people from the north or inland. The small transportation within the scenic area is also good, and it is very smooth to get around. However, there is one thing: because the botanical garden is so popular, the traffic jam at the entrance is too serious. I hope the relevant departments will strictly manage it.

When you go to Xiamen, you must go to Hulishan Fort, which is right next to Xiamen University. There is also a beach. The scenery is very beautiful, and it is not very strenuous to walk around the whole attraction. It is a good place.
This time, I brought my mom and two high school-aged children to Xiamen and specially planned a trip to the Hulishan Fort. The experience exceeded our expectations! The scenic area is free for seniors over 65 and students under 18 (just bring your ID or student ID), saving us a significant amount of money on entrance fees, making it a perfect family trip.
A strong sense of history: The fort is well-preserved, and the Krupp cannons are impressive and impressive. The children were fascinated by the military history, and there were also audio-visual displays that brought the history to life. My mom loved the panoramic sea view from the fort's perch, which made for stunning photos. She even asked the scenic area photographer to take a photo of her, which she was delighted with.
Experience: The area wasn't crowded, making it a pleasant stroll. The route within the scenic area is clear, with signage, so you don't have to worry about getting lost. Conveniently located near Xiamen University, you can also visit the university or Baicheng Beach after visiting the fort, making it a very flexible itinerary.

Chongqing Science and Technology Museum is free from entrance to project experience (only movies are charged separately). Not only do they charge for tickets to the main entrance, but they also make the purchase of tickets for the main venue very hidden (you can't buy tickets from Ctrip or the official public account, you have to buy them from the "Ticket Announcement" menu page)
The Children's Museum is suitable for children before the first grade, but not for adults. Children like it very much. It is recommended for both scientific and interesting aspects. The recommended visiting time is 4 hours.

The night cruise on the Xiamen ferry was amazing! The sea breeze was so comfortable, and the night view of Gulangyu Island looked like it was covered in stars. The buildings outlined by the lights were so charming. You could also watch the light show on both sides of the strait. It was so relaxing to chat in the breeze. It was worth the price of admission!
The route is too short, there are not many shore views to take pictures of, additional seat charges are required, and the boarding fee is expensive. Apart from taking some night views, there is nothing particularly fun. I personally think this project is not worth it.

1️⃣ Soar over the limit and see the world's landmarks in 8 minutes! It's an immersive experience, and aside from the long lines, there's really no downside. It's also Fantawild's most popular attraction (Disney's similar attraction, Soar Over the Horizon, can have 2-3 hour lines, which is frustrating). 2️⃣ Qinling Adventure 🗿 3️⃣ Magic Castle 🏰 Both are adventure-themed! They combine 3D cinema with VR, but the themes are different. I prefer the Magic Castle 🪄, which has a roller coaster feel 🎢 and is worth a second visit. 4️⃣ Escape from Dinosaur Island 🦕 You'll get soaked! Buy a raincoat! Wearing one got half soaked, but without it, you'll get completely soaked. Attention photo-lovers 📷 ⚠️ Try this after you've completed most of the other attractions! 5️⃣ Tanggula Snow Mountain 🏔️ Fast, but not exactly weightless. I prepared myself for the ride, but after getting off, I realized it was just soso. Haha. Similar to Disney's Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, the Big Pendulum, the Eye of the Storm, the Polar Express, and the UFO, they're all quite thrilling! 🎢 If you're not afraid of heights and love a challenge, go for it! As a timid person, I was only fit to listen to the screams from below. 🤣 6️⃣ The Battle of Jinshan Temple: The classic scene from the Legend of the White Snake, where the water flooded the Jinshan Temple, was quite impressive and worth seeing. 7️⃣ The Fantasy Stories from a Chinese Studio was a little boring. I recommend taking a break from the air conditioning after a few minutes of fun.
The one-to-one reproduction of Bald Qiang's home in Bear Bear Park is really well restored. There is also a cinema, bowling, and rock climbing. The Flight Over the Limit opposite Bear Bear Park is like sitting on an airplane to watch the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland. The Magic Castle is also very good.

Shuzhuang Garden is amazing! It perfectly combines the elegance of Jiangnan gardens with the majesty of the sea. Canghai Garden is "hidden first and then revealed". When you turn out of the Moon Cave Gate, the shock of the sea rushing towards you is unforgettable; the rockery maze of the Twelve Caves in the Bushan Garden is full of fun, where you can shuttle with family and friends to find the zodiac. There is also a piano museum where you can listen to the beautiful piano music.
Today is a sunny day, so the scenery of the garden is also very beautiful, especially the blue sky and blue ocean in the distance, which is refreshing. Nearby, there is a century-old banyan tree with swaying leaves. After visiting the historical stories, sit down and enjoy the scenery and experience the feelings of the owner of the garden.

It was a very interesting experience to take a sailboat for the first time. I bought the order on Ctrip, which was simple and convenient. At the appointed time, more than a dozen people gathered together and put on life jackets 🦺 to get on the boat. The trip took a while, and there was definitely enough time to take pictures. The wind was very strong, and my hair was flying in the photos. I suggest wearing a hat, hahaha.
It's worth it, but we went during the off-season, so the price is relatively expensive during holidays. The scenery on the sea is great. The wind and waves are a bit strong in winter. Standing on the boat, I felt like I had gained divine power and was crowned the king of the ocean, and I experienced the pleasure of cutting through the waves. When there is no fog, you can see Taiwan on the other side. If you are super lucky, you can see marine animals such as dolphins. We didn't see any when we went there.

厦门潮汐之眼摩天轮是一个非常适合放松和拍照的地方。摩天轮位于海边，能够俯瞰整个厦门市区和海景，视野非常开阔。舱内设施齐全，乘坐舒适，尤其是日落时分景色非常美而惬意。购票流程方便，工作人员态度友好。周边有多个购物中心和餐厅，游玩后可以顺便购物和用餐。虽然高峰期需要排队，但总体来说体验非常不错，推荐给家庭和情侣游客。
The view of the Ferris wheel on the sea is super beautiful. In fact, I think it should be the most beautiful when the sun sets. I took the evening one and the view was also good. I hope I can take the evening one next time to see the beautiful view of the sea at sunset.

When you come to Xiamen, Baicheng Beach is a must-visit place. It is located at the foot of Baicheng in the south of Xiamen University. From the Baicheng Gate of Xiamen University, you can cross the overpass to this charming beach.
The sand on Baicheng Beach is fine and soft, and it feels itchy and comfortable when you step on it. The sea water is clear and the waves gently hit the beach, leaving shallow water marks. Walking along the coastline, you can see the shells on the beach shining in the sun, as if they were treasures left by the sea.
This is not only a good place to appreciate the natural beauty, but also a great place to experience seaside activities. On the beach, children happily dig sand and build castles, while adults play and take pictures on the beach. At low tide, you can also bring tools to catch the sea and harvest a lot of "trophies". In addition, Baicheng Beach is also one of the best places to watch the sunset in Xiamen. Every time the sun sets, the sky is dyed orange-red, and the golden afterglow sprinkles on the sea, sparkling and beautiful.
Baicheng Beach not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also integrates a profound cultural heritage. The beach is dotted with giant mice, the semi-circular sky bridge is like a huge clock, and the Baicheng ruins are carved with various abstract square patterns, as if telling the story of time.
Here, you can enjoy the sun, beach and sea breeze, and feel the romance and vitality of Xiamen, a coastal city. Baicheng Beach is really a place where people don't want to leave once they come!
Baicheng Beach is a tourist attraction in Fujian Province. It is located on Huandao South Road. You can get there after you exit the Baicheng Gate in the east of Xiamen University and walk across the overpass. Baicheng Beach is very long, with beautiful environment and convenient transportation. Local citizens and tourists from all over the world like to stroll and play here. The beach has fresh air and beautiful scenery. It feels very comfortable to walk on the beach. Although Baicheng Beach is a natural beach, some sand will be slowly taken away due to the continuous scouring of sea water. In some places of the beach in the Baicheng area, silt can be seen at low tide, and many rocks are also exposed. The Xiamen government is organizing personnel to specially renovate and repair the beach in the Baicheng area of Yanwu Bridge to restore the unique beauty of Xiamen beaches.
