Has been very wanted to Xiamen for a visit, because they long for the beautiful scenery Gulangyu, Xiamen customs wanted to see, so the Spring Festival this year, did a tour of Xiamen. Since I have been with the tour groups do not like the feeling, so this is naturally self-traveling. I talk about the following aspects of tourism that feeling, if you have some help, I would feel very happy.
Preparation: Before, I bookstores to find books on travel in Xiamen, I think that China Tourism Publishing House issued a set of self-help guidebook Yes, I bought Beijing volumes, in Beijing, has proved very useful when traveling, so I also bought Xiamen volumes, but its content is not Beijing's informative, perhaps because more than Beijing, Xiamen, a small bar!
Live: I think this is a self-service travel a very important part of my standard is to be easily accessible, affordable, clean and tidy environment. This time, I lived in the railway hostel, but when I swim exhausted, they found that this is not the best place of residence, although it is also able to meet my conditions. I think the best living in the hostel, Xiamen University, Xiamen, because there are three major nearby tourist attractions, that is 10 minutes walk to the Nanputuo Temple, out the back door that is to胡里山炮台, one-stop way to the Botanical Gardens. In addition, a car can be to the railway station, Jimei, Gulangyu, very good.
Play: Speaking of Xiamen's tourist attractions, people will naturally devaluation Gulangyu. Gulangyu is really a good place on the island clean, beautiful, beautiful scenery, but because the well-known overseas, visitors too much noise a little. In addition, I feel that this ticket more expensive. Haoyue garden flowers I think only Koxinga just a giant rock statues and a bronze sculpture of Zheng Chenggong and his department will be good, tickets are 15 yuan a person; If it can, it will all tours to the Garden, 20 Shu Zhuang yuan worth of tickets a bit, especially for those people who've been to Suzhou gardens; and right known as Xiamen's highest point, Sunlight Rock tickets for 40 yuan, I think it is really Guile Dian. I think there is more fun in some other places, such as Nanputuo Temple, and its various halls in addition solemn things, than the addition of a fine northern temple, and because it is the mountain beside the sea, you can climb about Wulao Feng, understand what the "Five Old Peak" in wonderland, tired, can also taste the famous temple Nanputuo vegetarian, but this in China and Southeast Asia are renowned temple entrance fee of Three, and you will feel to play super value for money. Another example is胡里山炮台, in that respect the German Krupp artillery arsenal so far can still fire, when the Qing barracks now a variety of knives, guns, cannons of the exhibition room; rocks in a Town Hall Stone Gallery - Meat Stone, as most of the farms in the common rib meat, amazing magical creation. Xiamen Wanshi Shan Botanical Garden is worth a visit, there is Deng Xiaoping personally planted a fragrant camphor tree; there are eight scenic spots in Xiamen, the history of the "heavenly dawn bell," because the road in the Temple of Heaven sector repair, I would not hesitate a moment climb mountains, swim in Xiamen this is my most regret place. In addition, there is a tour definitely will not go to a place - hung Temple Park, also good, here is the history of Xiamen, one of the eight scenic wonders, "Koyama woven rain" location, due to time constraints, I did not play at all, but in the mountains capped with a 1 Fitness Road made me an eye-opener, the Spring Festival period, as much a family, young and old to this fitness, physique, no wonder everyone in Xiamen, you rarely get fat.
To eat: According to guidebook on the introduction, I busiest in Xiamen, Zhongshan, the yellow is the way a meal and the snack bar, and I'm worth recommending. The first is where the most famous peanut soup, imported fine, peanut Sauvignon. Several small snacks is quite distinctive, unique flavor. (Due to many customers, but also a direct point of finished product on the table, I did not know their names) I also eat a bowl of seafood noodles, noodles in a very small size of the casserole as ravioli casserole cooked, put the non - less seafood, the taste is extremely delicious. The store also sold a similar sticky rice cake things, there are two savory and sweet flavor, I have tasted it, felt not using lard, I'm not too used to. In the streets, many restaurants are selling a brisk side, but I think the taste is not very good.
Finally, to add that it is important, Xiamen is a city of good spiritual practice everywhere neat and clean, I have come into contact with public transport, catering and other service industry employees are good students, most of them people are amiable and smiling mannered, I left a good impression.
