Because we only had 4 days of travel, in order to make good use of these four days, we set off on time at 6 o'clock the next morning, followed the mobile phone navigation in five minutes to the bus stop, and reached the ferry terminal in half an hour. Because we left early, there was almost no traffic jam, and the time it took was almost the same as the taxi time mentioned on the Internet. While watching the scenery in the car and observing the local people in Xiamen in the car, I found that everyone in Xiamen was very small and elegant. We stood there, tall and powerful, and we could tell at a glance that we were not locals.

At 9 o'clock, we bought a round-trip ticket to Sanqiutian Wharf (35 yuan). As the crowd boarded the cruise ship bound for Gulangyu, when the boat started, we stood on the plywood and looked at the gradually fading away prosperous market on the shore. Looking at the gradually approaching and simple Gulangyu Island, and then closing our eyes to feel the cool small wind blowing in our face, I truly felt how comfortable and comfortable Xiamen was!

After getting off the boat, we followed the crowd to set foot on the island. We walked on the seaside path. Clusters of pink bougainvillea were scrambling to stick out of the wall. They were particularly beautiful under the sunshine. European family hotels and buildings were looming in the lush forest, and all kinds of birds were flying and singing freely among the forest. Each huge banyan tree is full of vitality, and the air roots hang down one by one to form a natural curtain. For me living in the north, everything is so fresh.

When we arrived at the Piano Pier and walked up the stone steps on the roadside, we arrived at the Jingwan Family Inn that we had booked in advance. This is a small villa located in the forest. The small courtyard is well arranged, with several wooden tables and chairs placed, making it casual and unique. The entire hotel is in European style. I didn't expect the 238-yuan standard room on the island to be decorated with such an atmosphere. It was worthwhile just for the accommodation on the island!

The electric toilet in the bathroom is warm when sitting on it. It is a very considerate facility.

Put down our luggage and we are ready to go out for a walk. I have always longed for an antique small town like Lijiang. I often imagined myself walking and enjoying the scenery in such a small town. However, actually going there with a group destroyed my best ideas. There are antique buildings everywhere. The buildings are full of small merchants and vendors selling local souvenirs, so this time we decided to travel freely. Because the end of November was the off-season and there were few people, we wandered aimlessly on the island, leisurely walked through stone paths, admired the ancient buildings left behind by various periods, visited small shops with different characteristics, and ate special snacks only available in Xiamen. This is what I wanted when I came to Xiamen!

The joint tickets we bought for the five attractions are unnecessary now. We just need to buy a Moonlight Rock. In fact, as long as you have a pair of eyes and a pure soul that discover beauty, the island is full of beautiful scenery.

Kangjia No. 189 Sea Oyster Pancake is delicious and worth recommending. You can see that sellers are good at advertising.

We have tried all the Lin's fish balls and Lin's fish balls mentioned on the Internet. The fish balls are tender and tender and taste similar.

The old couple's Ye's Ma Ci tasted glutinous and sweet, and it really wasn't in vain to wait for that long.

On the third day, we got up early to watch the sunrise by the seaside, but Father Sun was hiding behind the fog and refused to show her face. It seemed that she was a little shy. Let's save this little regret for future travel to make up for it.

After breakfast, we took a boat out of the island and took No. 29 to Taohaiju Family Inn near the Taiwanese Folk Village. This is a hotel run by several enthusiastic young people. The tatami room we booked for 208 yuan has a modern and simple decoration. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the rooftop platform to enjoy the sea breeze and enjoy the sea view. How comfortable it is! More importantly, the seafood pots in the store are fresh and the prices are reasonable. I still drool when I think about it now. I think if I bring my family to Xiamen next time, I will definitely come here!

Kittens and puppies in Xiamen like to lie lazily in the middle of the road, basking in the sun and squinting at these tourists from other places walking around.

The sea turtles here are very small and taste not the same as those in the north. They are said to be pure wild.

Eight Granny's Baowangcao is a milk tea drink. Have you guessed it?

I can't eat enough of Taiwan's Kate mangoes. The taste is so good!

Nanputuo Temple near the south gate of Xiamen University has a different style from the temples in the north. The vegetarian cakes at Nanputuo Temple are delicious and worth taking back to share with your family.

This is a magical landscape photographed on the return plane.

I secretly picked these two plants at Nanputuo Temple and planted them in flowerpots at home, hoping that after careful cultivation, they would take root and sprout in my home. It will often remind me of the wonderful times in Xiamen...
