It's definitely worth a visit. There's a line in a song that goes, "Gulangyu Island faces Taiwan from afar." Standing on Sunlight Rock on Gulangyu Island, you can overlook Taiwan. There are also many unique old alleys and their stories.
The scenery of Gulangyu Island is pleasant. Walking on the fine sand beach and feeling the sea breeze gives people a relaxed and happy feeling. They don’t want to leave for a long time, letting the sea breeze blow all their worries into the sea of the Taiwan Strait, and they are intoxicated by it, as if in a dream.

The scenery on the boat is very beautiful and the overall fun is also very strong. I have been on Guangzhou and other Shanghai boats before, but the culture on this boat is not as good. The entertainment activities on this boat are very motivating. But the meal is just average. I went there late at night and there was nothing to eat. Although there was always food to eat, the variety became very limited.
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!

Xiamen Ring Road is really amazing! On one side is the boundless sea, with waves gently lapping the beach, and on the other side is lush greenery, evergreen all year round. Cycling or walking here will give you a lot of pleasure. There are also attractions such as Hulishan Fort and Zengcuo'an along the way, with no shortage of culture and food.
When you come to Xiamen, the Ring Road is a must-go place! That day, I couldn't wait to rent a bicycle and ride along the coastline. The sea breeze blew gently on my face, which was super comfortable! Along the way, the sound of the waves accompanied me all the time, and I felt relaxed.
The scenery of the Ring Road is super beautiful, with the blue sea on one side and the tree-lined coast on the other. There are a lot of people at Baicheng Beach, and the beach is soft and fine, which is very comfortable to step on. I also took a lot of photos there as a souvenir.
Then I rode forward and arrived at the Hulishan Fort. The fort there is very spectacular. Although it is a bit old, you can feel the weight of history. I also climbed up and looked at it, imagining the scene of the year, which was quite shocking.
What I remember most is the sunset on the Ring Road. I found a place by the sea and watched the sun slowly set quietly. The sky was dyed orange and pink, and golden light appeared on the sea. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and all troubles disappeared.
The Ring Island Road is so beautiful! Next time I come to Xiamen, I will ride it again to enjoy the romance of the sea.

Xiamen Petronas Twin Towers is absolutely amazing! These two high-rise buildings are like two big knives directly inserted into the clouds, standing underneath and looking up, their necks are almost broken, domineering! The light is on at night, it is like a science fiction film, and the colorful light show is blinding. It is a blockbuster in the circle of friends. The location is also good, the bottom of the foot is Shapowei, next to the Dingao Zai Cat Street, it is super convenient to go shopping and drink. There are everything in the building, five-star hotels, high-end restaurants, net red cafes, even the cinema is a lounge chair, watching the movie while watching the sea view, this treatment is absolutely perfect! The observation deck is more exciting, and the whole Xiamen has a panoramic view. Gulangyu Island and Yanwu Bridge are at the foot. Friends who are afraid of heights remember to support the wall. The most amazing thing is that it has become a landmark in Xiamen. Tourists must punch in when they come, and locals can't help but squint when they pass by. On a sunny day, the glass curtain wall reflects like crystal, and the cloud and mist wrapped around the waist like Xia Xia drama, 365 days of appearance online.
Xiamen, a coastal tourist city in the southeast of Fujian Province, attracts countless tourists with its beautiful natural scenery and strong literary and artistic atmosphere. The Twin Towers, Xiamen's iconic building, has become the city's business card.
The Twin Towers, formerly known as the "Shimao Straits Building", is located on Yanwu West Road, Siming District, close to the sea, with a superior geographical location. Its design was inspired by the sails. From a distance, it looks like two huge ships sailing against the wind, with profound meaning.
The Twin Towers are not only a landmark, but also a witness to history. It is adjacent to Xiamen University and faces Gulangyu across the sea, becoming a bridge connecting the past and the present.
Climbing up to the 55th floor of the Twin Towers, you can stand 300 meters high and overlook the entire Xiamen. The 360-degree circular observation deck allows you to have a panoramic view of famous attractions such as Gulangyu, Xiamen University, and Nanputuo Temple.

[Scenery] Pretty good, with different views during the day and at night.
[Fun] Primarily scenery, with evening performances along the Ten-Mile Causeway.
[Value for Money] Pretty good, affordable food, plenty of delicious food, and a nice place to stroll.
The most "unconventional" scenic spot in Xiamen is none other than "Jimei University Village", and most importantly, it is free.
Jimei is an area dominated by schools, with Fisheries College, Navigation College, Teachers College, Physical Education College, etc. It was founded by the patriotic overseas Chinese Mr. Tan Kah Kee in 1913, with a total construction area of more than 3,000 acres, forming a talent training system from preschool education to elementary school, junior high school and high school, from undergraduate education to master's and doctoral education.
Jimei University Village... Here are the "suit-wearing, bamboo hat-wearing" Kah Kee buildings, here is a talent training system from kindergarten to university, here is the encounter of fighting against Japanese aggression, here is the struggle of the rise of overseas Chinese...
Entering Jimei University Village, in front of you is an antique archway-style gate built of granite and glazed tiles with flying eaves. The banner of the gate is the four words "Jimei University Village", and the school sign "Jimei University" is hung next to it. The entrance is a flat and spacious stone road. On one side of the road is a long seawall, which surrounds three pools - the Dragon Boat Pool, and there are 7 small pavilions on the bank. There is a row of palm trees on the seawall, with a phoenix tree with bright red flowers in the middle. The majestic and spectacular group of Spanish Gothic buildings is Jimei Kindergarten. The building of the junior high school of Jimei Middle School is like an eagle with its wings slightly spread, as if it is about to fly. The towering bell tower is the landmark building of Jimei. The white stone walls, heavy eaves and green glazed tile roof are the Return Hall. Like a huge ship anchored in the harbor, it is the teaching building of the Navigation College. Each building is unique and distinctive.
The Return Garden and the Return Hall are the only ones built by Mr. Tan Kah Kee for his family members returning from overseas, but they were also organized and built by Premier Zhou Enlai after his death. A full-length bronze statue of Mr. Tan Kah Kee stands in the garden, and the stone screen behind the statue is engraved with Chairman Ma's handwritten inscription "Overseas Chinese Flag, National Glory". Going back is the Guilai Hall with a strong Minnan style. The hall is mainly divided into two parts: the hall and the wing room. In the center of the hall is a stone statue of Mr. Tan Kah Kee. On the columns on both sides are hung the couplet written by Guo Moruo: "Aoyuan Museum is better than seeing it once, and Lujiang Jimei Middle School is admired by thousands of people."
Dashe, the birthplace of Mr. Tan Kah Kee, has also become a gathering place for Internet celebrities. Various Internet celebrity shops and homestays are attracting more and more tourists.

Zengcuo'an Beautiful Island Tour ⛱️ Historical origin: Zengcuo'an has a history of more than 800 years, originally a fishing village, and then gradually became a village in the city due to urban development. Transformation: In 2000, the opening of the southeast section of Huandao Road, Xiamen Island brought a turnaround for Zengcuo'an. In 2003, Zengcuo'an Villagers' Committee realized the transformation of "village rejuvenation" and transformed into an urban community. Development: 2004-2005 In the year, driven by the tourism boom in Gulangyu Island and the development of homestays, Zengcuo'an attracted the first batch of grassroots cultural creators and homestay owners. In 2006, after the full fishing retreat on Xiamen Island, Zeng Yu gradually became a stronghold for literary youth. Renovation: In 2012, Zeng Yu was positioned as a "Xingtai Culture Creative Leisure Fishing Village", and the overall environment was improved. In 2013, as a pilot in the village of the beautiful Xiamen strategy, Zeng Xuan carried out a systematic transformation of infrastructure. Mature: In 2014, Zeng Xuan became one of the most popular attractions in Xiamen, with a total annual visitor total of more than 10 million. As of 2015, Zengcuo Wenchuang Village has gathered more than 5,000 entrepreneurs and opened about 1,600 creative shops. Cultural Meaning and Cultural Heritage: Zengcuo has retained a rich cultural heritage, such as red brick ancient temples and Nanyang style "Panzai Building", which are valuable historical witnesses. Development of cultural creativity: Zeng Yu's development emphasizes cultural creativity, attracts a large number of artists and young people of cultural creativity, and becomes a gathering place for literary and artistic creation. Community co-rule: During the transformation process of Zengcuo'an, the government, residents, operators and other parties participated, forming a co-rule mechanism, which is an important part of its cultural significance. Design concept: Micro-reform: During the transformation process, Zeng Xu pays attention to retaining the original style and carrying out "micro-reform", and cultural protection and inheritance in the original village form as much as possible. Multi-party governance: Zeng's design concept includes the concept of multi-party governance, and promotes community governance through cultivating organizations such as public deliberative councils, owners' associations, cultural and creative associations. Cultural innovation: While preserving traditional culture, Zeng Xu also emphasizes cultural innovation, integrating literary elements with the culture of southern Weiyu Village, creating a multi-biological urban cultural and creative village. Functional partition: Zeng Yu divided the functional area according to the distribution of specific resources in each area, and found suitable themes for each development area.
Zengcuo'an, an ancient fishing village located in the southeast of Xiamen Island, has now become "China's most artistic fishing village", attracting countless tourists to explore its charm.
Entering Zengcuo'an is like walking into a painting full of fireworks. Many red brick houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties are preserved here, with high dovetail ridges, simple and elegant. Strolling in the five streets and eighteen alleys, the bluestone road has been polished smooth by the years, and on both sides are small shops full of literary atmosphere, selling various handicrafts, special accessories and creative stationery, each of which is unique.
Zengcuo'an's food is even more mouth-watering. Here are the special snacks of southern Fujian, such as shacha noodles, fried oysters, earthworm jelly, roasted pork dumplings... Each one is unforgettable. I especially like the shacha noodles here. The rich shacha soup is matched with chewy noodles and fresh seafood, which is a feast for the taste buds. There are also the "Class 2, Grade 3" stationery store and the "See You on a Sunny Day" ice cream shop, which are all good places to take photos and check in.
In addition to food and cultural and creative shops, Zengcuo'an also has a rich religious culture. The ancient monuments such as Fuhai Palace and Qiming Temple at the entrance of the village carry the historical memory of Zengcuo'an. Shengma Palace is one of the most distinctive temples in Zengcuo'an. It is dedicated to Mazu and is a place where fishermen pray for peace.
The beach in Zengcuo'an is also a highlight. The beach here is delicate and soft, and the sea water is clear. In the evening, the sunset dyes the sky peach-colored, which contrasts with Kinmen Island in the distance, and it is beautiful. Walking along the coastline, the sea breeze blows on your face, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Zengcuo'an not only has delicious food and beautiful scenery, but also rich cultural connotations. This was once a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, where many overseas Chinese left behind Nanyang-style "Fangzilou" and witnessed Zengcuo'an's prosperous history. Today, Zengcuo'an has retained its ancient style while incorporating modern cultural and creative elements, becoming a vibrant place.
Here, you can slow down and feel the tranquility and beauty of the fishing village, or look for unique souvenirs in cultural and creative shops. Zengcuo'an is a place where people don't want to leave once they come.

Zhongshan Road in Xiamen is the heart of Xiamen's tourism district. It's centrally located to Xiamen's major attractions, making it convenient for all kinds of sightseeing. Besides being a popular spot for dining, drinking, and entertainment, it's usually quite busy. Last time, I went there specifically to browse, but many shops were closing down, and the business wasn't very good.
Besides Gulangyu Island, Zhongshan Road also has a seaside park near the Zhongshan Road pedestrian street. It's located at the beachfront, where you can see Gulangyu Island up close. I used to go there often, but I didn't know the park's name.
Xiamen Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is a century-old street full of historical charm and modern vitality. It was built in 1925 by patriotic overseas Chinese Lin Erjia, Huang Yizhu and others. It has now become a cultural landmark and business card of Xiamen.
When you walk into Zhongshan Road, the first thing that catches your eye is the clusters of arcade buildings. These buildings combine the Nanyang style with the traditional elements of southern Fujian. The doorposts of the arcades are decorated with cloud patterns, and the roofs are green glazed gatehouses, which are full of strong local characteristics. Walking through it, it seems to have traveled through time and space and returned to that prosperous era.
Zhongshan Road is not only a museum of architecture, but also a paradise for food. There are all kinds of southern Fujian specialty snacks here, such as shacha noodles, earthworm jelly, oyster omelet, peanut soup... Each one is mouth-watering. I especially like Huang Zehe Peanut Soup Shop, where the peanut soup is sweet and rich, and it is one of the must-try delicacies in Xiamen.
In addition to food, Zhongshan Road also has rich cultural activities. Various art performances and intangible cultural heritage exhibitions are often held here. Traditional arts such as Nanyin, Gezai Opera, and Mid-Autumn Festival Cake-Bet are passed down from generation to generation. Walking on the street, you can also see some old shops and time-honored brands, such as the Centennial Tea House and Gulangyu Pie Shop, which carry the historical memory of Xiamen.
Zhongshan Road is even more lively at night. When the lights come on, the whole street is lit up, and the arcades appear more simple and elegant under the light. The shops on the street are very lively. Tourists shop, taste food, take pictures, and feel the fireworks of this city.
Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is not only a commercial street, but also a living history book of Xiamen. Here, you can touch the historical context of this city, feel the profound heritage of southern Fujian culture, and enjoy the prosperity and vitality of the modern city.

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.

During the summer vacation, you can play on the water slide, which is really fun. There is a iron flower performance at night, which takes children to experience the intangible cultural heritage. The immersive large-scale performance is also very exciting! Water park, children's indoor and outdoor playground, penguins, animals, it is quite rich.
Xiamen old yard scenic spot is really a treasure! As soon as you enter the door, you can feel the strong southern Anhui style. Red brick ancient bamboo shoots, old banyan trees, fishing village piers, all shots are blockbuster movies, and you are the most embarrassed! There is too much to play here! The "Southern Legend" show is absolutely shocking, 360-degree rotating stage like watching a movie, land, land and air special effects are on the line, watching people straight goose bumps. In the folk culture village, you can watch cloth bags and chest dance. The old masters are absolutely skilled, and you can also try Hui'an female headwear in person, as a half-hour southern girl. It's happier to eat here! The sand tea noodles, earthen stew, and ginger mother duck in the ancient flavor snack street are drooling, and the price is real. The recommended fishing village square with a baby, children can play on the water and learn to weave fishing nets, which is much better than playing mobile phones. The most intimate is the design of the scenic spot. It is not tired to walk down the whole process, the shade is not afraid of the sun, the toilet is clean and there is a mother and baby room. It is recommended to come to play in the afternoon until the evening. The old yard under the sunset is beautiful and the lights are brighter and more flavorful. It costs more than 100 yuan to play all day, and it is definitely worth the fare!
