During this year's National Day holiday, Zengcuo 'an in Xiamen became popular again. Putting aside the impact of Gulangyu Island's current restriction, the "sudden rise" of the small fishing village Zengcuo' an is really puzzling. The influx of passenger traffic in just a few days has exceeded that of last year's National Day. 730,000 people, there is no discussion about setting a new high. Why is this village in the city getting criticized more and more popular? Why does it become a popular king?

Tsan-tshü-uann, the most literary and artistic fishing village in China, is the abbreviation of "Tsan-tshü-uann Cultural and Creative Village". Also known as "Zengli", also known as "Zengjiawo" and "Zengjiawan", is located in the southeast of Xiamen Island. It has the grass of Tuerling, the stone of Taimu Mountain, and the reef of volcanic island, integrating nature and humanity. More than 10 years ago, after packaging, this ordinary small fishing village was labeled as literature and art, and then became an Internet celebrity attracting tourists from all over the world.

The Fishbone Bridge at the entrance of the village is a way in and out. A few days ago, it became a human bridge. It took a lot of effort to squeeze through it. Many people sighed,"I'm too difficult." On the morning of October 6, the flow of people here dispersed and finally returned to normal. However, there are still many people in the fishing village.

Over the years, Zengcuo 'an has become more and more lively, with people everywhere and more shops opening. It has become one of Xiamen's most visited attractions. What impressed people earlier was only a few alleys with many small shops with artistic style. Perhaps it is because this attraction does not require tickets, and Chinese people like to eat and drink, so this former small fishing village has become a food street. The street sells a variety of snacks and fruits, which is not much different from food streets in other places.

In his early years, Zengcuo 'an had sunshine, sandy beaches, waves, red brick ancient houses with southern Fujian characteristics and diverse folk beliefs. Living here, everything seemed like a different generation; here, there lived a group of cultural relics workers, sculptors, painters, film creators practitioners, musicians, travelers, migrant workers, and various unrelated groups gathered here. This is a treasure place to meet friends, and you may have unexpected romantic encounters. But now the flavor here has changed. The once proud resting place for literary and artistic youth and the romantic and secluded place have been replaced by strong commercialization.

The passion of food and culture collides, and the search for a simple village full of vitality under the exterior of literature and art has become a luxury.


Wandering among them, the dazzling food advertising signs are full of vision. The original main Fujian flavor and even Taiwanese cuisine have been squeezed by food from all over the world, making people feel that these things can be eaten anywhere, so why join in the fun?


"Five Streets and Eighteen Alleys" is a summary of the streets and alleys of Zengcuo 'an by local people in the early years. Ban Street, Zhongshan Street, Wenyi Street, Village Entrance Street, Church Street, and Qigannei Street are the most important commercial streets in Zengcuo 'an. It is said to be a commercial street, but in fact it is a few main streets and alleys in the village in the past, and some of them are the names of old roads left behind from the past. Today, every street is basically occupied by various commercial ports.

Today's Zeng Cuo 'an can be said to be a "paradise" for foodies. Most of the shops along the street are snack bars with various strange names, and many of them use "Taiwanese cuisine" to show people. These flavors are the favorites of foodies.

These attractive foods can indeed arouse people's taste buds, but they are difficult to become a tool to lead tourism. Therefore, it will make people feel confused or even confused.

Eating while walking will always be a beautiful scenery here.

Zengcuo 'an Wenchuang Leisure Fishing Village, which was previously unknown, has now become one of Xiamen's most popular tourist destinations. In the early years, I described this new tourist landmark as: Zengcuo 'an, the most complete and only original ecological fishing village in Xiamen. There are many family hotels, youth inns, romantic cafes, dining bars, and personalized shops here. It is gathered here. It only takes a few minutes to walk to the seaside beach next to Huandao Road, and it is only a few stops away from Xiamen University. People who have been to Xiamen should know that compared with Gulangyu, Zeng Cuo 'an is more peaceful and calm. The family hotels scattered in the small streets and alleys have different layout, giving people a warm feeling. There are also courtyards of different sizes in different styles. You can make a pot of tea in the afternoon and quietly bask in the sun to read novels or movies. You can enjoy it, or go to the rooftop terrace to blow the sea breeze and look out at the distant scenery.

But now, these have gradually disappeared, and Zeng Cuo 'an is constantly changing. It is good to think about changes, but the right way is to develop in a better direction. We don't need to expect it to return to its original form, but we don't want to deviate from its original form.

The Xiamen Cultural and Creative Exhibition Center launched in recent years is quite bright. As a new landmark of Zengcuo, the appearance of the Cultural and Creative Exhibition Center has added another good place for tourists to slow down in Zengcuo 'an with a surprising attitude. Strolling through the unique Southern Fujian architectural style Cultural and Creative Exhibition Center, you can enjoy high-end cultural and creative masterpieces here, buy a favorite cultural and creative exquisite product, and experience a different cultural and tourism experience.

The exhibition center gathers various business formats such as hotels, leisure clubs, imported food boutique supermarkets, international famous brands street, Fujian and Taiwan antique museums, cultural expo halls, jewelry and jade halls, cross-strait cultural centers, international cultural and creative halls, celebrity and petty property halls, etc., forming a A complete supporting cultural and creative commercial city is committed to building a luxury commercial center full of culture and art.

The Cultural and Creative Exhibition Center has a total area of 3848 square meters and a total construction area of 2291 square meters. According to the positioning of high-end, characteristic, and cultural and creative, the center is another benchmark for cultural and creative creation created by Xiamen after Longshan Cultural and Creative Park.

Zengcuo 'an, which has experienced vicissitudes, has left behind the blending and imprints of multiple cultures everywhere. The Shengma Palace at the seaside and the Yonghu Palace and Fuhai Palace at the entrance of the village embody the fishermen's desire to pray for calm and peace when fishing at sea. The fishing village is not only complete with four religions: Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, but also has the unique folk worship of Holy Mother in Xiamen. Zengcuo 'an can be regarded as a very representative original ecological natural village in southern Fujian. This multi-dimensional blend transformed into today's Zeng Cuo 'an.

Everyone has different ideas on what to do and how to do it in Zengcuo 'an. I believe that everyone has a scale in their hearts on how to judge whether a scenic spot (district) is cost-effective. I still like the original flavor, not the imposed "culture."

Perhaps, Zeng Cuo 'an will continue to be popular. If it exists, there will be a market, and traffic will be value. I hope that this highlight in Xiamen will bring more surprises and joy to people with more brilliance.

By the way, I would like to remind you about transportation information: Zeng Cuo 'an is located on Huandao Road at the back door of Xiamen University in Siming District, Xiamen City. Transportation from the railway station and the airport is convenient. There are only a few stops from Zengcuo 'an to the ferry to Gulangyu, and there are buses at the entrance of the village.
