Xiamen is fresh and clean. It is a city with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. It is especially suitable for beautiful photos in a fresh and artistic style. You can travel all year round. Isn’t it the south? Isn’t it hot? Xiamen is surrounded by the sea, so even in the dog days of summer, there will be no sweltering heat.
Many tourists have been wondering whether to travel in a group or independently in Xiamen? In fact, the key to this problem is not the tourist destination, but the tourists themselves. If you don’t like to worry and like every step to be arranged properly, then you must travel with a group, but the tourist group is a group and there will be restrictions, and there are many Young people who like to be free and willing to spend time on their own can choose to travel independently. Xiamen is a small city with concentrated scenic spots and convenient transportation. It is indeed suitable for independent travel. For a group tour, you can choose semi-independent travel. In this way, the main scenic spots and tour groups will be arranged for you, and you will have 1-2 free days left. The activity time is left to you to do your best, which is perfect.
After returning to Xiamen, I compiled a simple guide for the reference of independent travel friends:
1. Eat. There are many snacks in Xiamen, and seafood and fruits are not to be missed. We recommend [Eight Cities Market]. Xiamen’s original ecological market is more affordable and high-quality than the famous Zhongshan Road and Zengcuo’an.
2. Live. Hotels are the same all over the world. When you come to Xiamen, you must experience a B&B. It is best to choose one near Zengcuo'an, opposite the sea, and it is not far from anywhere. In the morning, you can also go to the nearby Huangcuo Beach to watch the sunrise, which is the most beautiful in Xiamen. Sunrise viewing point. .
3. OK. Xiamen's public transportation is cheap and convenient, but taking a taxi is expensive, so just take the bus.
4. Travel. Maojie, Zengcuo'an, and Shapowei are all places you can't miss. You can shoot literary and artistic blockbusters everywhere. Cycling on [Huandao Road], the gentle sea will take you back to the green days in an instant. If you have the conditions, you must stay one night in [Gulangyu]. "Slowly" is the best way to check in here. Go to [Encounter Love Around the Corner] at night or early in the morning to start a romantic journey. If you like Hakka cultural tours, you can take the [Tulou One-Day Tour]. The cultural connotation is there, but the drive time is very long.
5. Purchase. The snacks in Xiamen are similar to those in Taiwan. If you want to bring local specialties home, I personally prefer the tea cakes on Gulangyu Island. Although the pineapple cakes there are more expensive than those in supermarkets on the streets, the texture is closer to what I ate in Taiwan. Waxy.
6. Entertainment. It is recommended to take the [Lujiang Cruise] at night to enjoy the night view of Xiamen. It is not as dazzling as the night view of Huangpu Beach in Shanghai, nor as simple and quiet as the night view of Suzhou, but it fades away from the literary freshness of the day and presents a gorgeous Xiamen to everyone.
