In September 2014, which was the wedding anniversary, I decided to go to Xiamen for a walk while taking maternity leave. Travel notes are written based on memory. The trip was arranged for 3 days and 2 nights, taking advantage of the National Day to escape the peak of the crowd.

1. Itinerary arrangements

2. Several suggestions

1. It is best to stay in Gulangyu. The island is still very beautiful. You can arrange for 2 days to enjoy it slowly;

2. Xiamen has a lot of specialties, so I suggest you buy some, but not too many, which is a little sweet.

3. If tickets to Gulangyu are very popular during the peak season, it is recommended to book in advance.

Day 1: Shenzhen-Xiamen-Gulangyu

The high-speed train to Xiamen in the morning is very convenient. Get off the high-speed train and take a taxi directly to Gulangyu Wharf. I found something to eat nearby. Minnan specialty snacks are not bad.

Place an order online in advance to buy a ferry ticket and swipe your ID card to enter. Stayed at the Boathouse Hotel. At noon, heat took a nap in the hotel room.

I highly recommend the Boathouse Hotel. You can book it on your own official website. This is a key protected unit. It was designed by the designer who designed the Bayin Museum and is very distinctive. Many people take wedding photos here. The rooftop of the hotel also allows a 270-degree panoramic view of Xiamen and Gulangyu, as well as simple children's play facilities.

After lunch break, I went to Gulangyu for a walk in the afternoon. There were quite a lot of people, especially at night, when the lively streets were full of people.

I had Western food for dinner at a restaurant in the alley near Gulangyu Concert Hall. Accommodation here should be very good, and I plan to open it again tomorrow.

Night view of Gulangyu Island at night.

Day 2: Gulangyu-Xiamen University

Get up after 6 a.m. to take anniversary wedding photos.

This was taken in front of our boathouse (someone took pictures here when we checked in yesterday, hehe, learn from the example)

In order to help me take wedding photos, my husband got soaked all over again, and he was moved

Grandma joined us

、

After breakfast, I went out to visit Gulangyu again. After walking in Gulangyu, there were not many people.

We didn't buy a pass, just walked around the neighborhood, feeling that because we didn't have much time, we didn't want to catch the attractions.

This was the place where we had dinner last night and the accommodation should be good.

I found a vegetarian restaurant for lunch at Xiamen University. Search for the top ones online.
After dinner, stay at a youth hostel near Xiamen University. (My favorite when I was studying, the room was too small)

Afternoon tea at the cafe near your accommodation after dinner

Then I went to Xiamen University for a walk (fortunately, you could enter without any appointment at that time, just check your ID card)

I had dinner with my undergraduate classmates tonight, hehe! There seems to be nothing too delicious near Xiamen University. After eating, take a walk at the nearby seaside.

I heard that Zeng Cuo 'an was developing well, but he didn't go there with the elderly and children.

Day 3: Putuo Temple-Shenzhen

I got up in the morning and went to Putuo Temple for a walk.

After lunch, I will go straight to the high-speed train home.
