Xiamen Travel Notes丨This is the reason why I fell in love with Xiamen

01

Xiamen Station

Based on the dynamics of the above circle of friends, you can probably understand what kind of person I am: Yes, poor! As for me, I can choose to take the train instead of taking the high-speed rail, and I can choose to take the bus instead of taking Didi. Here, I want to brag about Xiamen's public transportation. It only costs one yuan to use the WeChat bus code? ! Of course, I also know that the bus in Zhongshan also costs one yuan. However, remember to go to Alipay to get a bus card first. As a confused little fairy (road crazy), there are not too many choices, so I took the high-speed rail and played Didi hahaha. You need to "register to enter Xiamen" in i Xiamen in advance so that you can leave the station and show it to the staff for review.

⭐Transportation Guide

· Xiamen Station is inside the island, and Xiamen North Station is outside the island (basically all scenic spots are on the island)

· The bus around the island is worth taking, followed by Didi and local taxis.

· Please book your tickets to Gulangyu Island and where to stay in advance during the peak tourist season.

⭐Traffic pit avoidance guide

· Don’t trust too much the “kind people” who suddenly talk to you on the road, don’t rent a car, don’t trust the recommendations of taxis, don’t trust day trips, and don’t rely too much on navigation.

· For Gulangyu Island tickets, just search "Xiamen Ferry" on Alipay/WeChat and buy a regular ticket for 35 yuan. Don't buy a deluxe ticket for 50 yuan like me because of time constraints. Remember, don’t go to Sanqiutian Pier (which has many attractions)! Don't go to Neicuoao Pier. I felt like I was on an island many times because I was lost.

zēng cuò ǎn

I pronounce it wrong every time, so I mark the pronunciation to prevent me from forgetting. Zengcuo'an, according to Master Didi, it was once an ordinary small fishing village. With the development of tourism, it has been continuously built into one of the most artistic fishing villages. When the master talks about the history of Zengcuo'an, the feedback he gets from time to time is: the locals don't like to go there at all? ! It's been too long and I didn't take notes in time. Now I have forgotten what the master said about the inside and outside of the island. I just remember that I was distracted at the time, looking out the window eagerly, feeling that the greening in this city was really good.

After getting off the bus and settling into accommodation, the little greedy cat went out to look for food: ① Camellia noodles, for a fan of sand tea sauce, how can you not try it? To be honest, it was not as delicious as I expected, and I don’t know if the one I ate at was not authentic. ② Fish ball soup, I love it! fragrant! fresh! Literary people would probably describe it this way: the fish balls are delicious, the fillings are fragrant and juicy, and they are like raging waves, instantly detonating on the tip of the tongue...

03

Xiamen University

Xiamen University, a key university, I think the air inside is fragrant! I was in awe of every scene I saw on the campus road: ① Seeing monks chanting sutras; ② Hearing friends talk about Xiamen University students living in cultural heritage buildings; ③ Seeing the bulletin board on the school road; ④ Talking to friends While chatting, she hit the nail on the head...

I want to blow my mind. I have already entered Xiamen University. I have already eaten Cantonese food at the same table with my friends. Why don’t I pick up my mobile phone? Why don’t I take pictures? Suddenly I remembered, can the walnuts pinched by the door still nourish the brain? I eat it often.

Cool or not? I think, cool!

⭐How to enter Xiamen University

· Sneak in (the most direct way)

· Sneak in (a little difficult)

· I heard that you can enter through the botanical garden (I don’t know if it is credible)

⭐Note:Don’t talk to pimps (too many)

04

Gulangyu Island

Instead of unlocking the beauty of Gulangyu Island, I felt like an orphan wandering around on an isolated island. I heard that you have to buy a new ticket to enter many places on the island. It is estimated to cost about 100 yuan. I don’t know because I got lost and didn’t encounter those attractions at all. Don’t tell me that this island is very small. What’s wrong? , don’t let me get lost? ! (To use an emoticon to describe the mood, it would be "There is an orphanage over there, you can play by yourself")

What an unforgettable experience!

⭐Note: Don’t talk to pimps (too many), prepare travel strategies in advance to avoid those minefields.

· I heard that Sunlight Rock is good (I have no say)

· I heard that Shuzhuang Garden is also very good (I have no say)

· I heard that spending a night here is quiet and comfortable (I have no say)

Huli Mountain Fort

[The most famous thing on Hulishan Fort is a 28-generation (280mm) Krupp cannon purchased from the German Krupp Arsenal in 1893. It is still well preserved and has an effective range of up to 16,000 meters (the longest range is 19,760 meters). It cost 100,000 taels of silver to purchase (including shipping and insurance premiums). Now, this cannon is the best-preserved and largest Krupp cannon in the world, and has been given the title of "King of Ancient Cannons in the World". 】Baidu

Where the student ID came in handy, I happened to catch an event and saw a cannon-fire show (a spectacular Qing troops drill), and then followed a group of tour guides to listen to stories. I talked with local uncles and aunts about Xiamen’s housing prices, Zhangzhou’s economy, etc. Then, we went out to sea and played in the water. Remember, wear sunscreen under the scorching sun, otherwise you will end up with a tan like me. (I was having a lot of inner drama at the time. After all, it had been so long that I really forgot about it.)

Baicheng Beach

Beautiful beach

I was drinking milk tea alone

The evil wind blowing in Xiamen

Became the person with the messiest hair style

…

There are still many places I haven’t gone to yet

Such as Botanical Garden, Eight Cities, etc.

I will come again! ! !

Various labels make people curious and yearning for it

Maybe this is the reason why I fell in love with Xiamen? !

Oh no, that's not the case. If you like a city, you don’t need a reason, just the people you care about.
