This is the Gulangyu. There are no vehicles, no bicycles, in the strands of rain drift thin enough to weather without an umbrella on the island, there is a very beautiful mood, and sometimes a good long way to see other people, just stay with you the whole island as a people who have visited, no matter how you sway his state of mind. Sanchakou island road leading there is a snack not to be missed, "Yip's Ci Ma" has been in the past century. In the majority of people are concerned, centuries of development is still at a stall car seems incredible, but small business operators have been so down, middle-aged men and stall holders is the third-generation descendant. Pull-out drawer vendor cart below, remove the rice Ciba, wrapped into the crushed peanuts, black and white sesame seeds crushed and the powdered sugar mixed into the filling and then bunched up into groups, roll on a layer of black sesame powder, a "Ci Ma" would do a good job , and sweet but not greasy, waxy and non-stick, a dollar, let the tourists between the island has a sweet memory.
Back to the ferry boat from the Gulangyu, which is the old city of Xiamen, where the first municipal building in Xiamen Kaiyuan Road, the road (completed in August 1924) in respect of this. Here are mostly old building balcony style. Building overhang is a feature of European architecture and South-East Asia region as a combination of architectural forms, about the Opium War, after the incoming Gulangyu and Xiamen, followed by incoming Kinmen. This architectural form is ideal for the South weather, rain and sun Kedang sun on the first floor are mostly shops, business types of all sorts, on the second floor are occupied. While away from the busy commercial street in close proximity, but in no way disturbed by tourists. Here the street, where people, where rich seafood market and the harsh sound of reading aloud from time to time the Minnan dialect, they are mixed with the taste, just like an authentic life style paintings, still can not help but make you forget about your body Department city, only to realize a deep breath of life. Arcade in front of small shops over the door a little kung fu them the tea-table, and occasionally you can see the old lady dozing ... ... crooked door rely on a sheltered space to the vagaries of nature stand in the outside, this time, we found that the balcony is such a human-oriented architectural style - not so much noise, not play, contentment, though only just ordinary lead an easy life, but it flies Youziyouwei.
Is not far from here on out to go to a bustling commercial street in the mountain, the whole street is basically arcades and style of the famous yellow and peanut soup shops sit while falling in the mountain not far from the arcade in front of the ferry. Snack peanut soup headed here, their soup white as milk, sweet but not greasy, "peanut entirely of films, floating in the soup, soft as cotton, rotten and not broken, importers will turn back, mellow refreshing", is unique.

In addition to alcohol glutinous sweet peanut soup, here selling sticky rice shaped like Mickey Mouse and Ciba Qianman jujube nuts cake is also worth a try.
Around the island road is the city in recent years, the rise of a fascinating attractions. Before you hit the bridge at the entrance to the ferry near the sea, tasting known as the Double Star in Xiamen, one of the brisk side, "Ukrainian sugar brisk side." Business was brisk surface approach appears to be very simple, pasta colander into boiling water under the pot boiled, purely monetary bowl, with their own tastes by adding liver, kidney, duck tendon, meters of blood, fresh squid, dried tofu and other accessories , Spoon has been boiling in large pot of soup, one minute and serve in a bowl of noodles can be. Surface it really delicious, the key is in the sand tea.

Pick in front of a table to sit down, to savor the rich flavor of brisk steaming face, looking at the immediate road and opposite the island of Gulangyu glance, mind Jiusheng "meet" in the word.
After the beauty of food reward, from here on the island road, went through the world with the sea closest to the bridge, from the Yanwu Road to the White City with the coastal sea with high S-shaped bridge, the mountain beside the sea in Xiamen University, write in the middle of the road Green belt beating read music, "Gulangyu Waves", was built in Guangxu twenty-two years at the same time is also China's largest existing ancient cannons cannon shore up the胡里山炮台, turn the corner with it, you can always get off the beach and the sea close to the.
