Xiamen Citywalk, strolling along both banks of the Lujiang River
The beauty of Xiamen is real, it's part of everyday life, it's tangible. This port city of Xiamen has its own dwelling nature and charm, it's a stack of red bricks and green tiles full of stories, it's the worldly life hidden in old buildings and narrow alleys, it's the free-spirited temperament of mountains and seas.
Xiamen Mountain and Sea Health Trail Forest Sea Line, taking in the cityscape and mountain and sea views. The second phase of the Forest Sea Line organically links the city's slow lane system and the mountain trail system, making it one of the most popular walking routes for residents and tourists.
The trail is very gentle, suitable for the elderly and children, and baby strollers can also be pushed onto the trail. Walking past the 'Ten Thousand Stones and Green Sea' scenic spot, heading towards the Gui Tower, you can see the twin towers, residential areas, sea areas, parks, green spaces... The vibrant cityscape and tranquil natural scenery are all in sight.
The Sunlight Rock Scenic Area is composed of Sunlight Rock and Qinyuan, and the cable car on Sunlight Rock is the 'bridge' between the two places. Qinyuan is located on another mountain, with a bird park, audio-visual hall, art gallery and a garden to commemorate the heroes.
To get from Sunlight Rock to Qinyuan, you have to go quite a long way. If you're walking, it's definitely tiring, but with the cable car, you can easily get from Sunlight Rock to Qinyuan.
Of course, the existence of the Sunlight Rock cable car is not only an important tool for tourists, but also an important embellishment of the beautiful scenery of Sunlight Rock. The various colored cable cars, red, orange, blue, etc., hanging in the air, add more color to the green mountains.
Sitting in the cable car, you can see the beautiful scenery of Gulangyu Island. The feeling of being suspended in the air is also a stimulating experience.
The red brick ancient buildings with golden lacquer carvings, under the blue sky and white clouds, a plane flies over the roof. The strong collision of old and new has a magical realism beauty.
In front of the Qingshui Palace in Xiamen, there are many people holding SLRs squatting, just to take such a photo.
Because it is adjacent to Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, you can often see planes flying low overhead. The classical beauty of the Minnan temple and the plane in the same frame, it seems that something, across time and space, shakes people's emotions.
It is said that the new airport in Xiang'an will be completed by the end of 2024 and will be open to traffic in 2026. By then, Gaoqi Airport may be closed, or the number of flights may be reduced. By then, you may not be able to take such a picture in front of the palace.
If you like photography, why not pick a sunny day, check the flight information, and take a photo of a plane flying over the ancient Minnan architecture at the Qingshui Palace in the community in front of the palace.
After taking the photo, you can also go to the snack street near the subway station for a walk and a big meal.
Xiamen Mountain and Sea Health Trail
An utterly superb trail that covers a huge distance across xiamen island. highly recommended going at sunset
Xiamen Shanhai Health Trail is about 23 kilometers long, starting from the cruise terminal, and finally Guanyin Mountain Dream Beach, along the series of Wuhu, Foxwei Mountain, Xianyue Mountain, Jinshan, Lakeside Reservoir, Wuyuan Bay, Huzai Mountain, Guanyin Mountain and other islands of "Eight Mountains and Three Waters". The health trail connects the important ecological nodes in the north and center of Xiamen Island, forming a mountain and sea walking corridor that runs through the east-west direction of the island.
The scenery is superb. Zengcuo'an is next to the entrance of Tianquan Mountain. It is recommended to enter from the Butterfly Valley and go to Tianquan Mountain. There will be a little more downhill. You must do a good job of sun protection. Even if it is cloudy, you can't be lazy. After we come back, we will be bran.
"Shanhai Health Trail", very recommended. Yesterday, I went up for a short walk in the wrong way. I was shocked by the beautiful scenery and was caught off guard, but I couldn't get too hungry after all, so I had to give up. After coming down, I decisively checked the weather, modified the itinerary, and freed up most of the day to take a break. Check out this morning, store your luggage, first go to Dayuan Road to eat flat food and noodles, then quickly punch the bell and drum ropeway, at noon to Zengcuo, the three people each poured some coffee drink soy milk, into the trail. The starting point of the trail is located on South Huandao Road. After walking along the coast, it starts to follow the Dongping Mountain. The eyes are full of sea views, the brain is full of sea breeze, all kinds of ships and warships have a panoramic view, and you can overlook the Golden Gate Island. It is suspected that you have seen white dolphins. Then, gradually away from the sea, into the mountainous area, all the way up the mountain and the water are beautiful, the flowers are like a flower. We turned over Dongping Mountain, came down from the highest point, passed a village, and we could see the farmyard, among which there were many homestays. Continue to go down the mountain, pass by Dongshan Reservoir, the village slowly away, the modern city is coming, elevated, cars, a handful of us back to reality. Finally, we ended the trip in Zhonglun Park. For four hours, we experienced mountains, seas, villages, cities. Every scenery is real, and every corner can bring surprises. It is so beautiful! The heart has mountains and seas, quiet and boundless, this is the meaning of travel.
Tired is really tired, beauty is really beautiful ~ After the whole journey, I feel that my feet are not my own feet. The scenery is beautiful, the environment is very good, and the air is fresh. If you are not physically able, you can take a taxi to the entrance you want to go. There will be several very marked coffee shops along the way. The decoration style is simple but not simple. The brothers can rush. It is suitable for couples to play. Friends travel. It is also suitable for the elderly to walk. But it is really not suitable for bringing children. The scenery is beautiful. It is really tired to see the children behind.
