I have to go to Xiamen once in my life

Mentioning Xiamen is always related to the freshness of literature and art. This coastal city located in the southeast of Fujian Province has always been famous around the world for its port and scenic tourist city.

Gulangyu Island is like a pearl, inlaid with the dreams of many literary and artistic youth. Every year, tourists from east, west, north and south gather on Gulangyu Island.

However, in fact, Xiamen also has many interesting niche travel destinations.

Especially on the inner island of Xiamen, the buildings are very exotic. The island is full of gardens and bungalows; in the high-rise buildings in the CBD area, an old street is inadvertently inserted. The lights are dimly lit, fireworks are rising, snack bars, flower shops, seafood shops... The atmosphere of life is surrounded, making people instantly feel the vitality and excitement of Xiamen.

Time here is sloppy and is best for doing nothing and aimless. A corner, a cup of coffee, and the story begins. A Xiamen city walk belonging to one person

An old street that must visit-Zhongshan Road

If you want to experience the flavor of Xiamen in the past, you must come for a walk on Zhongshan Road.

With a total length of 1.2 kilometers, Zhongshan Road is one of the most prosperous commercial streets in Xiamen today. It retains a relatively complete modern historical style and is full of historical charm. It has been awarded the title of "Famous Historical and Cultural Street in China".

The streets are winding and winding, and the European-style roofs are mixed with Nanyang arcade buildings, making you feel like you are in a foreign country in a second.

This street is also called "Qilou Street". It is said that most of these buildings were built by overseas Chinese returning to their hometowns in the 1920s. Most of them have become cultural monuments, attracting many young people to come and take photos and check in.

Various time-honored Xiamen brands, snack bars, coffee shops, handicraft shops, specialty stores, and department stores are hidden among them. They are vivid and beautiful. It is said that there are more than 300 commercial streets.

Zhongshan Road is very suitable for citywalk. Make some time free to call friends. Walking on the old street, you can stroll through one store after another. You can't finish eating, not seeing enough, and not buying enough...

Inadvertently around the corner, you can also encounter famous snack shops that have been circulating in Xiamen for a long time. You can sneak into the noisy crowd and have a bowl of peanut soup, oyster fried, or Xiamen fried crab to experience the old Xiamen style.

The ancient stone economy of "tide to rheumatism"

If Zhongshan Road retains the Xiamen style of the old era, then Gudishi Square is the favorite of the "tide to rheumatism" night Pu crowd.

This is a new landmark in Xiamen, with various bars and restaurants, and the flashing neon lights dazzled your eyes.

Xiamen people, whose musical genes are in their blood, sing and sing in Gudishi Square every night, thus creating a popular "Gudishi Concert". Friday's tipsy concert, weekend music party... violin, sax, the psychedelic square night complements classical music.

Some of the more fashionable young people moved their cars to the market square.

Nightlife in the trunk of the car kicks off, coffee, ice powder, desserts... three or five friends, sitting and chatting, blowing the evening breeze and listening to music ~

Xiamen is like this, with a relaxing sense of comfort everywhere ~

Zeng Cuo 'an, whose fireworks are mixed with literary and artistic tone

The first generation of Internet celebrities in Xiamen was Zeng Cuo 'an, a small fishing village in the past and now an Internet celebrity snack street.

Walking into the archway, the air is filled with the aroma of snacks, such as sizzling oysters, pyrotechnic roasted oysters, crystal clear bamboo shoots jelly, delicious and hot Shacha noodles...

There are also some coffee shops with extreme literary and artistic excellence and Internet celebrity B & Bs hidden at the end of the street corner. Like visiting hidden householders, they need fate to find them.

The streets are narrow and winding, and the buildings are neat and messy. The style is vulgar and flexible, and every corner is grown in the aesthetics of literary and artistic youth.

In their long guns and short guns, Zeng Cuo 'an has too many small corners out of the circle, which is worth coming back and forth, measuring with footsteps and reviewing with lenses.

A seaside roundabout road suitable for walking

Zengcuo 'an is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side.

Step out of the excitement of Zengcuo 'an Food Street, cross the "Fish Bone" overpass, and you are opposite the beach.

Beaches in downtown areas are rare in Chinese cities. The people of Xiamen are really happy to see the luxury of the sea at their doorstep.

Although the beach is not big, the sand is soft and clear, and there is no salty and wet seafood. The wind rustled my long hair, and it was already wonderful to just sit quietly, blankly, look at the sea, doing nothing.

The roundabout road around the beach is also full of customs. It is 5 kilometers long and has enough time to walk around the citywalk as you please, and you can't finish it all day.

We chose a famous Southern Fujian cuisine restaurant opened by the sea. The raw seafood was original and delicious, enough to satisfy the stomachs of Cantonese people.

Outside the window, there is clear wind and white sand, and you can also overlook the Twin Towers. It is very romantic ~

The star-studded Yanwu Bridge-Xingguang Pedestrian Road

When I came to Xiamen, I realized how beautiful the Xingguang Walk of Yanwu Bridge was.

A huge crisscross overpass stands on the sea.

Behind you are Xiamen's tallest Twin Towers, and opposite you is Gulangyu. The boundless sea level makes people feel refreshed and refreshed.

The closing ceremony of the film festival was once held here, so the check-in point is also studded with stars.

You see, the Starlight Channel is composed of 12 groups of star-shaped porches. The lights are lit at night, and the stars are bright, like a dream.

There are signed handprints left by movie celebrities, edited film to mark the traces of time, and the seat stool is also shaped by film, which is very creative.

The most romantic thing about coming to city walk here is to choose a good weather to watch the sunset at sea.

Or stand in front of the starlight stone and take photos with the Twin Towers behind you, or you can do nothing to watch the ships coming and going on the sea.

Xiamen is like this, leisurely and comfortable.

Jimei ten-mile long embankment, listen to music live and watch the sunset on the sea

Many people come to Jimei Shili Causeway to chase the sunset on the sea because it is too romantic.

On the way to Jimei Shili Changdi, there is also a hidden check-in point, which is the "sea train" from Gaoqi Station-Jimei Village.

There is only one subway station, crossing the sea halfway (passing on the ground). Sitting in the subway car, there is a sea view outside the window.

GET "Hayao Miyazaki Anime Same Model" sea train, the best ~

Jimei Village gets off the bus and walks over to the ten-mile long embankment of Jimei.

This is a 10-kilometer-long seawall with open sea views, numerous sea bridges and beautiful scenery.

The embankment is densely shaded and green, making it perfect for camping or playing music LIVE.

If you have the opportunity to match it with a beautiful sunset on the sea, the atmosphere will be filled directly.

There are also some small Western restaurants hidden in street corners and alleys in Jimei. The products are all well-made. They are suitable for stealing a half-day leisure and having afternoon tea, or having a dinner date for two. The atmosphere is as romantic as the beach in Jimei Village.

Pangui Tower in the mountains and seas

When it comes to looking at the sea, there is another very romantic place in Xiamen, which is the Pangui Tower.

This tower is located at the southernmost tip of Xiamen Island, just enter at the No. 7 entrance of the Shanhai Health Trail Linhai Line.

The entire "Pangui Tower" extends out of the sea, like a sailboat that is about to sail far away. It is not afraid of wind and waves, and only if you love to fight can you win.

When you are in the mountains and seas, you can see the beautiful scenery of the Huandao Road + the invincible sea view, and you can also overlook Kinmen.

If the weather is fine, the sunset here will be beautiful

Jinding Road, check in the same type of bus as "The Beginning"

If you have seen "The Beginning", you will definitely be amazed by "Aunt Guo"'s acting skills.

The "Haishanrong Square" station located on Jinding Road is actually the "Gangfu New Village" station in the drama "Beginning", which is where Aunt Guo gets on the bus.

The location of this TV series is very "Chongqing". It is an old community built against the mountains, with low buildings, mottled exterior walls, and a sense of age. The winding stone steps are lined with iron railings, greenery and old walls, which are very easy to show. From afar, you can also see Haicang Bridge, Dongdu, etc.~

Here, modern and ancient collide, and TV dramas and reality merge, which is hard to part for a while.

Xi'an Road + Huaxin Road: Visiting the flower and bird market and checking in on TV scenes

Xiamen Island is full of beauty. Even a flower and bird market is full of retro film feelings.

On Xi'an Road, the whole street is full of flower shops, small shops full of traces of time, surrounded by all kinds of flowers that are freshly shipped every day, and the literature and art are fresh.

Turn a corner and go to Huaxin Road. This is a villa area. It feels like crossing to Dongshankou in Guangzhou in one second.

This is also the home of Zhang Wansen in "Twinking, Shining Stars". Next to it is an Internet celebrity coffee shop with its own courtyard. Come here to take photos, drink coffee, and you can easily get a small and fresh version of Xiamen citywalk trip ~

Minzu Road photographed with the Twin Towers

When it comes to Xiamen's check-in points, I have to mention the ethnic road.

The citywalk style of Minzu Road and the check-in point for photos with the Twin Towers are also very out of the circle. You can find it directly at the "Strait E-commerce Park".

Minzu Road, commonly known as Shapotou in the old days, is an old street in the style of arcade, hiding many decades-old shops, embodying the memories and customs of Xiamen people. The most famous one is Yingge Tower, which is said to have existed for 80 years and witnessed the changes of Minzu Road over time. Nowadays, due to the photo taken with the Twin Towers, it has become a new landmark in Xiamen.

After taking check-in photos, you must try Shacha Noodles, which have been in circulation for more than 20 years, and ginger duck, which has been in circulation for 30 years. Xiamen's famous food representatives are hidden in small shops on the street. The ancient aroma attracts people who come to check in one after another.

Bashi Seafood Street

The essence of City walk lies in going to the streets and alleys and going deep into the lives of ordinary people in Xiamen.

Traveling like locals, it is recommended to visit the "Bashi Seafood Street".

It is said that this is the largest and most complete seafood and vegetable market on Xiamen Island.

Step inside, you will find a super variety of seafood stalls lined up on both sides. You can find fresh king crabs here, as well as authentic Xiamen local seafood.

It is mixed with some vegetable stalls, snack stalls, and seafood restaurants. It is bustling and bustling. There are people shouting and hawking. The fresh flavor of seafood is mixed with the aroma of snacks, blending into a lively and enthusiastic Xiamen atmosphere.

This is Xiamen. It is fresh in literature and art, and it is also full of fireworks.

Come to Xiamen citywalk and live in Waldorf Astoria

When you come to Xiamen citywalk, you are the most suitable person to live in the city center of Xiamen.

Xiamen should be the city with the most hotels except Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macau.

There are even Waldorf Astoria. You should know that Waldorf Astoria has been located in four cities in China, one is Xiamen, and the other three are in Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu.

This time, we chose the Waldorf Astoria for our three-day and two-night trip to Xiamen's citywalk. It is known as the "originator of luxury hotels" and one of the best hotels in Xiamen.

The hotel design is based on the concept of "Elegant Manor", combining the past Nanyang traditions with contemporary European architectural customs. Low-key luxury has connotations, and every detail is well done. It is especially suitable for tourists, just like living at home.

For example, a large courtyard is surrounded with green trees at the entrance of the hotel to create a manor in the busy city. The lounge next to Check in is designed to look like a living room, making guests feel at home.

Because he is in Xiamen, Waldorf Astoria uses many Xiamen elements, such as egret art installations, blue and white ocean colors, and cabin-shaped rooms. Xiamen's romance and comfort are everywhere.

It's really beautiful here. There is an open-air swimming pool upstairs where you can enjoy the sunset in Xiamen.

There are check-in points everywhere in the Sky Garden restaurant, with spiral stairs, open-air gardens... all photos are very impressive.

Some people say: Xiamen's island is beautiful, as beautiful as a jar of old wine. Once you drink it, it will be intoxicating.

I think Xiamen has ready this jar of fine wine at any time, just waiting for you to come and drink it.
