Shaman 2 nights 3 days itinerary + review that makes you fall in love with it the more you walk

#ChinaTravelMoment #2024WishEvent Xiamen was a place where the sea breeze, emotional streets, European-style buildings, and simple food were naturally mixed in one city. Pleasant sunlight and wind, old brick alleys, and even live music on the island. This 2 nights and 3 days centered around **Xiamen city center + Gulangyu Island (鼓浪屿)** is a schedule full of emotions, photos, and information! ⸻ 🗓 Xiamen 2 nights and 3 days itinerary ⸻ Day 1 – City emotions & night view 🏨 Morning – Arrive in Xiamen & check in to your accommodation For accommodation, I recommend emotional guesthouses around Zhongshan Road or the beach! You can feel the walkable streets, cafes, alleys, and even the sea breeze right away. 🏙 Afternoon – Walking along Zhongshan Road & Exploring Emotional Cafes • Xiamen’s representative street, with a mix of retro and modern shops • The combination of the old building exteriors + emotional signs is pretty, making it great for taking pictures, • There are also tea houses with a nice atmosphere hidden inside the quiet alleys 🌇 Evening – Beach walk & rooftop dinner • When dusk falls, walk along the beach, The scenery of the sea and city lights unfolds • The perfect seafood + cocktail + sunset set at the rooftop restaurant ⸻ Day 2 – Filling up your emotions all day in Gulangyu ⛴ Morning – Take the ferry to Gulangyu Island (鼓浪屿) & enter the island • A small and pretty island floating in the sea in front of Xiamen • European-style buildings, music box museum, piano museum, emotional alley • It’s a car-free island, so it’s great for a quiet walk 🎻 Afternoon – Walking along Gulangyu alleys & Exploring photo spots • Vintage-style brick alleys, stairways, and white pillar buildings • There are so many great spots to take emotional photos, • Street performances, musical instrument sounds, and even the window view with flowers in bloom are all works of art ☕ Cafe & Dessert Break • Sit in a small emotional cafe like ‘慢生活’ and take a break while listening to coffee and music box music • Mango dessert, white tea latte, and coconut cake are recommended! ⸻ Day 3 – Leisurely Morning + Finish ☀️ Morning – Jogging or a quiet walk along the beach • Walking slowly while feeling the sea breeze It’s the moment when you reach the peak of true healing 🍜 Lunch – Local noodle dishes & Xiamen snack experience • Recommended ‘Xiamen local noodles (沙茶面)’ or ‘Pidanju (皮蛋瘦肉粥)’ • Rich and light taste, perfect for breakfast and lunch 🛍 Souvenir shopping & airport transfer • There are many souvenirs that combine sentimentality and practicality, such as mango cookies, tea bags, music box miniatures, and handkerchiefs ⸻ 💡 Xiamen travel tips • There is a limit to the number of people allowed into Gulangyu Island → Trip.com advance reservations are recommended • When taking pictures, 3-5 PM is the best time to enjoy the shadows and sunlight • Reservations for rooftop restaurants during sunset are a must! • Shared bicycles available throughout the city → Perfect for quiet alleys • Food is southern style, savory and light rather than spicy ⸻ ✍️ One-line review Xiamen is a place where, if you walk quietly, you suddenly hear music from a cafe, and if you stare blankly for a while, the sun sets... It was a sentimental travel destination where time passes slowly. #TravelPlan #OverseasTravel #ChinaTravel #Trip.comReview #TravelItinerary #Xiamen #XiamenTravel #XiamenAttractions
