During my
During my recent trip to Xiamen, I was struck by the city’s perfect balance of natural beauty, rich culture, and modern convenience. One of the first things that caught my eye was the pristine beaches. Xiamen is known for its clean, well-maintained coastal areas, making it a perfect destination for beach lovers. The water was clear, and the sand was soft, inviting me to take long walks by the shore or simply relax under the sun. The beaches were not only beautiful but also safe, with clear signs and lifeguards ensuring that visitors could enjoy the coast without worry.
Another highlight of my trip was the fresh seafood, which Xiamen is famous for. I indulged in a variety of local dishes, from juicy prawns to tender fish and clams. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were unlike anything I had tasted before. Whether enjoyed at a seaside restaurant or at one of the bustling seafood markets, every meal was a feast for the senses.
Transportation in Xiamen is incredibly convenient, making it easy to explore the city. The public transit system, including buses and the metro, was efficient and easy to navigate. Taxis were also readily available, and getting from one attraction to another was quick and affordable.
One of the absolute highlights of my trip was visiting Gulanyu Island. A short ferry ride from the mainland, this picturesque island is a must-visit. The island’s charming streets, colonial-era architecture, and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect getaway. The ferry ride to Gulanyu Island cost just 35 yuan, and the views of the city and ocean from the boat were simply breathtaking.
Xiamen proved to be a fantastic destination, with its combination of beautiful beaches, amazing food, and rich cultural heritage, making it a place worth returning to.#beachlife #seascapes #couplestrip #localfood
