"The city is on the sea, and the sea is on the city"-Xiamen is an important central city, port and scenic tourist city on the southeast coast. It is a graceful "sea garden". If you call yourself a literary youth, welcome to Xiamen and stroll through the alleys of the city. Romantic encounters with Gulangyu Island, Xiamen University, one of the most beautiful university campuses in China, Zeng Cuo 'an, like the crevice world in a Miyazaki Jun painting, and Nanputuo Temple, which is beyond the secular world, are all places you can't miss during your trip.

A five-day and four-night tour has been customized for you, so come on a literary and artistic journey!

Day1 Encounter Gulangyu
The first stop is to the only organ museum in China, and then to Riguang Rock. On the way, you will pass by Sany Hall. You might as well stop to take photos. Riguang Rock is the commanding height of the entire Gulangyu Island. If you want to find the beautiful scenery of the red-roofed building near the sea, then here is a unique location. The third stop is Shuzhuang Garden, which is surrounded by mountains and seas and has elegant architecture.
After leaving the southern part of the island, you can consider tasting local cuisine, so Longtou Road must be the best choice. It is home to the earliest batch of "Internet celebrity shops" on Gulangyu, as well as various new coffee shops and local food stalls in Xiamen.
Warm reminder:
1. From Xiagu Wharf (also known as the cruise ship center) to Gulangyu, it is recommended to disembark at Neicuo 'ao, and then board the ship at Sanqiutian Wharf (operating 24 hours a day) and return to Xiamen.
2. Ordinary cruise ship on the route from Xiagu Wharf to Neicuo 'ao: 35 yuan/person, luxury cruise ship: 50 yuan/person, round-trip price.
3. It is recommended to book ferry tickets in advance and reserve at least half an hour to arrive at the terminal in advance to prevent too many people from queuing and missing the ticket purchase time.

Day2 Slow Life VS Internet celebrity check-in
Garden Botanical Garden (2~ 5h) → Shapowei (3h) → Bailuzhou Park + Xidi Nightlife (2- 3h)

The Xiamen Garden and Botanical Garden is a new favorite of the Internet celebrity community in recent years. Whether it is experiencing the real "forest system" in the misty and fairyland rainforest world, or looking up at the giant cactus in the sandy plant area full of Central American desert customs, you can make a big movie with just a click.
Shapowei is probably the place that best reflects the taste of life in Xiamen. It has both the slow-paced and most authentic Xiamen fishermen's lifestyle, and the fast-paced and latest online celebrity shops. This is probably the only place where the old and new speed can be integrated so harmoniously.
Feed pigeons in Bailuzhou Park, experience the nightlife in Xidi, and experience Xiamen, which becomes more beautiful at night.
Warm reminder:
If you want to take smoky photos in the rainforest world of Wanshi Botanical Garden, please go during the spraying time, which is approximately 9:00-11:00 and 14:00-16:00.

Day3 is youth
Nanputuo Temple (2h) → Xiamen University (3h) → Furong Tunnel (0.5h) → Xiamen University Baicheng Beach (0.5h) → Xiamen Huandao Road (1h) → Zeng Cuoan (2h)

Nanputuo Temple, a Buddhist holy place in southern Fujian Province, has green lanterns and the Buddhist sound is slacken, and even breathing is much quieter. The vegetarian dishes in the temple, which are known as the "world's best vegetarian banquet", are simple, elegant and delicious, and are definitely worth a try.
The afternoon time at Xiamen University, known as "the most beautiful university in China", is unforgettable. The historical buildings in southern Fujian, the fine mottled southern sunshine, the lush tropical plants, the smiling students, the romantic and warm lover valley, the hibiscus tunnel with perfect creativity, and the Baicheng beach under the sunset... It's youth. Yes.
[Tips] Xiamen University is restricted from Monday to Friday, and its opening hours are 12:00-14:00 (limited to 1000 people) and 17:00-24:00 (unlimited). It is open all day on weekends without restrictions; you can enter with your ID card.
Ride along the roundabout road and let the sea breeze blow your face to experience night riding comfortably. Along the way, you will also pass by Zengcuo 'an, where delicious food is spread and snacks are gathered, so you can go shopping and eat easily.
Warm reminder:
1. Nanputuo Temple requires advance reservations;
2. During the epidemic this year, whether Xiamen University will be open during the National Day holiday is to be determined;
3. Stay at Jinjiang Inn Xiamen Convention and Exhibition Center Huandao Road Hotel and send you summer lemon vitality tea, disposable disinfectant hand sanitizer, battery pack, and self-contained medical supplies from small carts; close to Guanyin Mountain Beach seafood, buffet barbecue and AVIC Zijin Plaza Food Street.

Day4 is dreamy and beautiful
Haidi Road (1.5h) → Jimei Xuecun (2h) → Tong 'anfonte Dream Kingdom (5h)

Haishi Road has a fresh scenery comparable to that of Kamakura, Japan-blue sky and white clouds look up, swaying reeds look down, the vast sea and roaring trains behind you, and the gentle breeze and the whisper of time are in your ears.
Compared with the high-profile and flamboyant Xiamen University, Jimei Xuecun is more gentle and profound. Whether it is a retro building with red bricks or an elegant and exquisite pavilions, corridors and pavilions, they are all made of dragon ridges and phoenix eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, combining Chinese and Western characteristics.
Tonganfonte Dream Kingdom, which features science fiction and interactive experience, is known as the "Oriental Dream Park". There are more than a dozen large-scale theme project areas in the park that will ensure you have fun.
Warm reminder:
1. Jimei Xuecun requires an appointment in advance;
2. Tickets for Tonganfonte Dream Kingdom: 299 yuan/person for adults, 220 yuan/person for children/elderly; Business hours: 09:30-17:30

Day5 The mythical architecture
Hegui Building (2h) → Yunshui Yaogu Village (2h)→ Lover Tea Mountain (2h)→ Return journey

The tallest tulou in Nanjing, Hegui Building, is 21.5 meters high. It is called the "Noah's Ark" among ancient buildings. It is also a relatively special square tulou. This is the prototype of Qiu's home in "Big Fish Begonia".
Yunshuiyao-a quiet ancient village in southern Fujian. It was famous for filming the movie "Yunshuiyao". Yunshuiyao Ancient Village is the home of the male owner. The Yunshuiyao Ancient Village feels very different from the tulou. The waterwheel is long and the flowing water is gurgling.
Sitting on the Lover Tea Mountain, drinking tea, looking at the layers of distant mountains, full of greenery, and the fragrance of tea leaves in the air is a very pleasant experience. You can also look down on the tulou in the distance from a different perspective.
Warm reminder:
There are many places to drink tea along the river in the ancient village. Generally, the price is 50 yuan per pot. You can add water for free. You can refer to it as appropriate.
