Just got back from a terrible trip to Xiamen. Sisters, think twice before traveling with music.

"The sound of the piano rings in the alley, gently awakening memories. I'm waiting for you on Gulangyu Island, waiting for the wind and for you." Humming this song, "Waiting for You on Gulangyu Island," Xiamen in March has gentle sunshine and a light sea breeze, making it a great time to visit. Come with me and start this romantic seaside trip! 🌊 Itinerary • Day 1: Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street - Xiamen Ferry Terminal - Gulangyu Island After arriving in Xiamen, head to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, where the arcade buildings are full of Nanyang style, and the dazzling array of special products and delicacies are mouth-watering. You can try Hokkien Fried Noodles, peanut soup, and other southern Fujian snacks 🥘. In the evening, take a boat from Xiamen Ferry Terminal to Gulangyu Island, enjoy the sunset over the sea, and after landing on Gulangyu Island, check in to a characteristic B&B, stroll through the quiet alleys, and feel the leisurely atmosphere of the island. • Day 2: Gulangyu Island Spend the whole day on Gulangyu Island. Visit Shuzhuang Garden. The Twelve Dongtian in the garden is full of fun, and Canghai Garden hides the sea in the garden, making the scenery very unique. Climb Sunlight Rock, overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Gulangyu Island and Xiamen city, and enjoy the great view. Don't forget to look for the century-old villas on Gulangyu Island and feel the charm of history. You can also go to the beach, step on the soft sand, and listen to the sound of the waves, which is very pleasant 🏖️. • Day 3: Nanputuo Temple - Xiamen University - Island Ring Road In the morning, go to Nanputuo Temple. This ancient temple is solemn and majestic, the buildings in the temple are exquisite, and you can also taste delicious vegetarian food. If Xiamen University is open to visitors, you can enter the campus and feel the strong academic atmosphere and unique campus scenery. In the afternoon, come to Island Ring Road, rent a bicycle, ride along the coastline, enjoy the blue sky, white clouds, and sea, feel the embrace of the sea breeze, and check in at Zengcuo'an along the way to taste various snacks. Recommended accommodations • Gulangyu Island: ◦ Gallery Inn: Full of artistic atmosphere, the rooms are warmly decorated, and there are various art paintings on display in the courtyard, suitable for literary and artistic youths to check in. 🛏️ ◦ Starfruit Courtyard: The courtyard is full of starfruit trees, full of life, and the owner is warm and hospitable, and will provide tourists with many travel suggestions. • Xiamen City: ◦ Ji Hotel: Convenient transportation, close to many attractions, clean and tidy rooms, and attentive service. ◦ Hanting Hotel: Cost-effective, with complete supporting facilities and convenient travel. Must-try experiences in Xiamen ✅ Feel the romantic atmosphere on the beach of Gulangyu Island. 🎤 ✅ Find special shops on the streets of Gulangyu Island and find some unique souvenirs. 🛍️ ✅ In Nanputuo Temple, listen to the melodious bells and pray for your family and yourself. 🙏 ✅ Feed the black swans at Furong Lake in Xiamen University and feel the peace and beauty of the campus. 🦢 ✅ On Island Ring Road, ride with friends, enjoy the beautiful sea view, and leave good memories. 🚲 Precautions In March, the temperature in Xiamen gradually warms up, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so remember to bring a thin coat 🧥. Book Gulangyu Island ferry tickets and attraction tickets in advance to avoid delays. When tasting seafood, be sure to choose a regular business to avoid being ripped off.
