However, before coming to Xiamen, please note that many attractions require reservations in advance. ⚠️Notes 1️⃣ If you come to Xiamen in January or February, you don't need to bring a thick down jacket. A sweatshirt is enough during the day, and you can wear a coat at night. 2️⃣ You need to take a ferry to Gulangyu Island. Gulangyu is a small island, so you need to book ferry tickets in advance and arrive early. It's best to buy water before boarding. 3️⃣ You should visit Bashi Market.

I’ve heard about this seafood restaurant before I came to Xiamen. Because I was afraid of queuing, I rushed here as soon as I got off the high-speed train.

Xiamen's Eighth Market, also known as Ba Shi, is more than just a market—it's a part of the daily life of Xiamen locals. It's a great place to experience the unique local life of Xiamen, and many photography enthusiasts love to come here to capture street scenes and human interest photos. 🦐 As you walk into Ba Shi, you'll see rows of seafood stalls offering a wide variety of fresh seafood. The seafood here is not only fresh but also diverse. Besides the common types, there are many sea creatures that I can't even name. When dining at the seafood restaurants here, you can choose your seafood and have it prepared on the spot. It's a good idea to ask about the prices beforehand, and if they are reasonable, I highly recommend trying the fresh seafood at Ba Shi! 🍲 In addition to seafood, Ba Shi also hides various authentic Xiamen snacks! There are steaming hot Shacha noodles, crispy and delicious fried Wuxiang, sweet and not too greasy peanut soup, and the somewhat intimidating Tushun jelly... Some popular stalls in Ba Shi: ✅ A-Jie Wuxiang: Known as a spot visited by Nicholas Tse, you can buy both raw and fried Wuxiang here. Locals usually buy the raw ones to cook at home. ✅ Zhong Lijun Manjianguo: Manjianguo is a specialty snack of the Xiamen-Zhangzhou-Quanzhou area. It's sweet, soft, and quite tasty—worth a try! ✅ Zhu Ji Shousiji: A very popular stall where you often have to queue. The place is a bit small, so I usually take my food to eat elsewhere. ✅ A-Ji Zai Department Store: Mainly sells local specialty pastries and some creative cultural products. 🏠 Besides food, Ba Shi also has shops selling Xiamen specialties like tea, dried seafood, and cultural products. The market is rich in culture and history, with old buildings that retain much of the old Xiamen charm. Nearby alleys and streets like Bagua Cheng and Datie Street bear witness to the area's development. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ 📍Address: 44 Kaihe Road, Siming District, Xiamen 🚌 Transportation: Take BRT lines 1, 2, or 3 and get off at 'Kaihe Road Intersection.' It's about a 6-minute walk from there.

In the extension of the beach to the sea, there are many strangely shaped reefs, as well as the Ocean World with a ship shape next to it. In the middle of the coastline, there stands a statue of Guanyin in the South China Sea more than ten meters high, which has become a symbol here.
