Recently, everyone has been busy with work, and the annual trip she agreed to with her boyfriend has not yet come true this year. Two years ago, he said he would go to Gulangyu, but two years have passed, but his dream of Gulangyu has not yet been realized. Avoiding holidays and asking for leave from the company, the trip to Gulangyu was about to begin.

Day1: Shenzhen-Xiamen

The high-speed train from Shenzhen north to Xiamen north takes more than three hours to reach it, which personally feels more convenient than flying. It was almost evening when I arrived in Xiamen, so I had a rest and prepared to leave for Gulangyu tomorrow. For dinner, we had dinner at Yuzhou World Trade Mall next to Xiamen Station. The Xiamen Flavor (World Trade Mall Store) on the 5th floor was really good.

First of all, the environment is very good, the place is large, and the spacious lobby is neatly and orderly, with some antique content. Secondly, the service attitude is very good. Thirdly, his family's concept of "meeting friends with taste" dominates their cuisine. It is really good.

[Dishes]

We tasted the most distinctive "duck meat noodle line": the duck meat was cooked to the right taste, the duck soup was very sweet, and the noodle line was placed in another bowl. When we wanted to eat, we put the duck soup into the noodle line. It tastes great!

I also ordered "crispy and soft-shell shrimp": the fresh shrimp is slightly fried and tastes very delicious.

"Cream crab": Spread the cream crab on the glutinous rice and then steam it, which not only maintains the original flavor of the cream crab, but also adds the flavor to the glutinous rice. This is also one of the specialties of southern Fujian.

Day2: Gulangyu

If you want to go to Gulangyu, you can only take a ferry at the dock. Looking at this vast sea, even my mood becomes open. The dock is very close to Gulangyu Island, and combined with the time to queue up to get on the boat, it only took more than 20 minutes in total.You can see the word Gulangyu from afar. The dock here is not small yet and looks very grand.You can see many literary and artistic shops as soon as you visit the island. It seems that the statement that Gulangyu is a place of literature and art is not false. sunlight rockThe first stop on Gulangyu Island followed the big crowd to Riguangyan. Riguang Rock is the highest point of Gulangyu Island. It is said that you can see the scenery of the entire Gulangyu Island and part of Xiamen's landscape here.Riguang Rock is a good place to watch the sunrise and sunset, and it is also a landmark attraction on Gulangyu Island. Although it is not the time of sunrise and sunset, it is crowded with people. The observation deck above Riguang Rock is very small and can only accommodate twenty to thirty people at most. If you want to go to the front to see it, you still have to wait patiently.Climbing high and looking into the distance, you can see the blue sea connected with the blue sky, and there are red tiles and green trees in front of you. No wonder such a beautiful landscape attracts so many people to watch.

shuzhuang garden

Shuzhuang Garden is really very big. The ticket price is 30 yuan per person, but we bought a joint ticket for Gulangyu Island. Such a beautiful scenery, even 30 yuan is worth the ticket price. This used to be a private villa owned by a wealthy Taiwanese businessman. Now it seems that people still live in the house, so I can only visit the courtyard outside. It is a bit different from the gardens in Jiangnan. It also combines sea views. Living in such an environment is a paradise.

I am actually quite unfamiliar with organs. It is said that this is the only and largest organ museum in my country.

The exhibits here are dazzling, and there are many types of organs and very different shapes. Many of them are collected from abroad. Some organs look like pianos, but the pronunciation principles are completely different. There are also special staff in the museum to explain them, which really improves their knowledge.

Haoyue Park

On the way back, I met Haoyue Garden, where there is an oversized statue of Zheng Chenggong.

The island is also very lively at night, with many online celebrity shops checking in. This is a rhythm that is destined to gain three pounds ~


Day3: Xiamen University-Nanputuo Temple-Zengcuo 'an Xiamen University

I slept in the morning and took a boat back to Xiamen City. Xiamen University is a school that many students yearn for, and I am one of them. However, now I can only visit it as a tourist... The school was not on holiday when we went, so we had to wait until the door opened at twelve o'clock before entering.

Xiamen University is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is one of the most beautiful universities in China. The campus is picturesque. Without students taking classes here, it would be a wonderful attraction. I really envy the students who study here. They have both a strong cultural atmosphere and a picturesque campus.

The walls on both sides of the Furong Tunnel on the campus of Xiamen University are filled with works drawn by students here. It is really a good place to praise the author's imagination and painting skills and take photos. The total length of the tunnel is almost one kilometer. The works in the tunnel seem to be constantly updated. Recently, I have seen a lot of popular things on the Internet here. For a person who is disabled in painting, every work here is like a work of art.
If it were not holidays, we would stop visiting at 2 p.m., and after we got out, we would take a bus to Putuo Temple.

nanputuo temple

Nanputuo Temple is very close to Xiamen University, so it is more appropriate to visit the two scenic spots in one day.

Everyone can get another incense stick for free when entering. If you have faith, you can worship Buddha.

Although it is not a holiday, there are many people here, and tickets and explanations here are free, which is probably one of the reasons that attracts a large number of people to watch.

Nanputuo Temple is built against a mountain, and the buildings here are also spectacular and majestic. Although I am atheist, I still feel particularly sacred when I come to such a place. The occasional chanting of scriptures and the pious prayers of the believers make me feel calm. It is rare to see a commercial atmosphere here, and there are some volunteers wearing red vests in the yard helping to maintain order.

Zeng CuO an

Go to Zengcuo 'an to find food. Perhaps the snack street in every city is the same. It is crowded, the snacks are slightly expensive, and the hygiene cannot keep up. Even if people know this is the situation, they will still go. This is probably the charm of the snack street. In fact, every city's snack street has its own specialty food. Zengcuo 'an has many seafood snacks and a variety of noodles, which makes you dazzled.

We decided to eat at a restaurant with a good review.

Summer is the peak tourist season, and Zeng Cuo 'an is a must-visit place when traveling to Xiamen. It's just time to check in with friends from afar to check in on the same brand as a celebrity.

Coordinates: Walking in from the entrance gate of Wenchuang Village in Zengcuo 'an, looking to the right hand side of the first intersection, the word "Tang Banquet" on the mint green recruitment is very eye-catching. The main banquet is Lao Xiamen private cuisine. This is a celebrity restaurant and is said to have received more than 50 celebrities. Deyunshe, cctv, Zhou Dongyu... There are many celebrity photos posted on the wall. In [Twelve Flavors], Pan Shuai, Pan Weibai and Nicholas Tse said they were so delicious that they could dance with it. No wonder so many people came here to eat, so they lined up and waited.

Environment: The decoration style is fresh and elegant, clean and comfortable. It is very suitable for having dinner and chatting with friends on hot summer afternoons

Service: The service of the clerk is very good. The clerk will lead the way when entering the door and give their opinions when ordering. There are many dishes, and there are also many dishes recommended by celebrities.

|Yellow croaker boiled noodle line ^I like this staple food very much. The fish soup is boiled with milk white and has a very fragrant taste. It tastes great with southern Fujian noodle line. I drank several bowls of fish soup alone

|Old Xiamen sweet and sour pork ^No matter what store I go to, I want to order a bowl of sweet and sour pork. The unique sweet and sour taste of pineapple blends into the meat. It is sweet and sour, and the taste is what I like

|Small tubes ^Each small tube is wrapped in a unique sauce. After taking one bite, the taste buds are satisfied

|Old Xiamen Port Sochu Concocci ^Traditional Chinese medicine mixed with Xiamen Sochu to make the Concocci roast. The traditional Chinese medicine taste is a bit strong and it smells like wine in the mouth. Those who don't like the taste of traditional Chinese medicine may not like this dish very much

|Vinegar bean lemon jellyfish head ^Jellyfish head is different from usual jellyfish skin in that it is relatively larger. The store seems to have put pepper in it, which is a little sour and spicy, and it tastes good.

|Almond lotus tofu ^is well-made and beautifully carved. It has a slight milk aroma in the entrance, like pudding, but after the taste, it will have an almond flavor

Day4: Zhongshan Road-Return Trip

On the last day, check in on Zhongshan Road. In addition to the main road of Zhongshan Road, there are also many shops on the branch road, so this is not only a pedestrian street, but also a large shopping mall with all kinds of snacks and department stores. Compared with these shopping malls, I am more interested in the buildings here. The buildings here are all arcade towers and have a strong Nanyang charm.
From Zhongshan Road, I walked to Zhongshan Park, which was similar to a citizen's park. Later, I went to find a delicious fried skewers restaurant. It is on Xingfu Road just behind Zhongshan Park, which is closer to Douxi Road.

[Yijia Fried Skewers], right at the entrance of Xiamen's old stadium, are all local Xiamen people. Recommend white peach oolong tea. It's refreshing.

The signature sweet and sour tenderloin is highly recommended. The tenderloin is very Q-crispy and tastes quite good and excellent. The chicken wings skewers look ordinary, but they taste very soft and tender. The chicken wings are fried just right, and the seasoning powder sprinkled on them blends well with the chicken wings and is very fragrant.

When I returned to Shenzhen on the high-speed train in the afternoon, I had to go to the hotel with regrets to pack up. There is also Jimei Village that we haven't been able to go to. There are many delicious food that cannot be filled in our stomach without eating it. Maybe I had a reason to come back next time because I had regrets. I told my boyfriend that I would like to bring two stomachs next time, but he laughed at me... There are too many delicious and fun things, so I'll end it this time. Xiamen, we'll see you next time.
