Tell me about this trip


Xiamen is synonymous with romance. Its picturesque scenery and literary atmosphere have become a check-in destination for many people. Gulangyu, Zengcuo 'an, Xiamen University, and Shapowei, in addition to countless beautiful scenery, there are also long-coveted seaside delicacies that will leave a deep impression on everyone who has been to Xiamen.

Xiamen has both the vicissitudes of history and modern fashion. A heart-warming shop, a deep alley, and an ancient villa all tell the story of Xiamen's past and future. Xiamen's unique charm is deeply attracted to me.

Although I am in Guangzhou, the capital of food, and enjoy endless delicious food every day, as a foodie, I still have a heart to eat all over the world. Having been busy with work, I finally had the opportunity to go straight to Xiamen to meet with my friends.


big traffic


There are many means of transportation from Guangzhou to Xiamen, and the most direct means of transportation are aircraft and high-speed rail.

1. Xiamen Gaoqi Airport is located on the island. After getting off the plane, you can choose to hail a taxi or take a bus to the city, basically within half an hour.

2. There are few direct high-speed trains, and most of them need to transfer from Shenzhen North Railway Station. The whole journey takes about 5 hours. To choose the high-speed train, you need to see clearly whether the arrival station is Xiamen Station or Xiamen North Railway Station. Xiamen Station is located on the island, and it takes more time to reach the city from north to the city.


Gulangyu, which everyone yearns for


When you come to Xiamen, you must go to Gulangyu. Every day, many people come to Xiamen and board Gulangyu by boat. Naturally, there is no need to introduce too much about Gulangyu. People who know Xiamen must know Gulangyu, stroll around the island to experience the rich history, or enjoy a leisurely vacation time.

Gulangyu Island and Xiamen are only separated by a 600-meter-wide Lujiang River, which can be reached in a few minutes by boat. Nowadays, Gulangyu Island has long become a check-in point for Internet celebrities. There are many tourists visiting Gulangyu every day. Once again, it is important to remind that you need to book ferry tickets from official channels 15 days in advance to Gulangyu Island, especially during holidays, it is almost hard to get a ticket.

1.88 There are hundreds of villas scattered on the square-kilometer island on the slopes, coasts and green trees. Most of these buildings are hundreds of years old. Everyone's travel purpose is different. Most of the things I love here are related to history, and I want to find out about every building I like.

When you come to Gulangyu, you must go to Riguang Rock. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the whole of Xiamen.

Ticket information:

1. Riguangyan: 50 yuan/person

2. Couple ticket: 90 yuan/person (including Riguangyan, Shuzhuang Garden, Haoyue Garden, Organ Museum, International Lettering Art Museum).


Villa high-end private kitchen: 1927 Dongyuan Private Kitchen


About eating, about where to eat, this is an eternal topic. Some people like the market and others like privacy. This time, I want to introduce a century-old villa located on Zhongshan Road, Xiamen. After the baptism of time, it turned gorgeous and transformed into a private kitchen.

This building is called Siming East Garden. It is located at No. 65 Siming East Road, one of the oldest streets in Xiamen. It still retains its unique existence despite the rapid changes. Business here has always been good, and meals have to be booked in advance!

Four snacks before meal

Matcha oatmeal and shrimp: The owner's careful combination combines healthy elements into one batch. High-quality matcha powder and healthy oatmeal have an unexpected Japanese freshness. The shrimp wrapped in it is crispy and delicious, which is the most suitable for this autumn day.

Crab meat and Neptune tofu pot: The crab meat is carefully picked and separated. It is extremely delicious. It is served with slow stew of old tofu. The aroma of a crab meat and Neptune tofu pot is provocative. This is a delicacy suitable for all ages, and it is a must-order delicacy for families or couples when traveling.

Steamed glutinous rice cream crab: In the golden autumn of October, crab season is right. Eating fat cream crab like this is an irresistible delicacy! Steamed cream crab with glutinous rice completely absorbs the cream fat and oil of the cream crab, accompanied by the unique aroma of lotus leaves, and steams it with a steamer to create a gluttonous taste!

Villa salt grilled fish: Xiamen's pursuit of seafood often uses original cooking to highlight the delicacy of the ingredients, so this villa salt grilled fish came into being! It has the characteristics of Internet celebrities and its original flavor, keeping the fish fresh and tender, and the salt roast has a unique burnt aroma. It is definitely not to be missed!

Signature pork roasted abalone: Xiamen is well-known for its seafood. Abalone is an indispensable high-end ingredient. Signature pork roasted abalone is a famous dish with unique characteristics here. The richness and sweetness of the pork penetrates into the fresh abalone, making the refreshing and springy abalone more attractive, and the combination of taste layers is unforgettable to try, but it cannot be eaten at other places!

cured taro pot: This is a delicious stew of Xianjing taro and sausage. It has both the soft and waxy taste of taro and the aroma of sausage.

East Star Spot Shrimp Dumplings: There are too many varieties to choose from in the large seafood pool in the store. Each item is clearly priced, and it is very safe to eat. This dish has both the delicacy of the East Star Spot and the shrimp dumplings. Both the appearance and taste are very attentive.

Bamboo shoots jelly is probably the most powerful black dish in Xiamen. It is always difficult for people who have not eaten it before, but people who have eaten it always love it.


Star check-in stall: Xin Aqiang Zeng Cuoan stall



Zengcuo 'an was originally a small fishing village that has become popular in recent years. The streets and alleys are crisscrossed and very close to the seaside. It also gathers many delicious food and Internet celebrity check-in spots.

There are countless delicacies in the streets of Zengcuo 'an. This time, I chose a must-eat restaurant with a relatively large environment and scale. It is also a place frequented by many stars.

This should be the largest food stall in Zengcuo 'an. There is a row of seafood ponds at the door. You can choose to order food by the seafood pool or after sitting down.

Shacha Lobster: Shacha is one of the most local specialties in Xiamen. Putting two large lobsters in Shacha soup is very imposing. The shrimp meat is delicious and the sand tea tastes very good.

Handmade shark meatball soup: Hand-made shark meatballs are wrapped in meat filling, and there are delicious fish balls and meat filling that will pop. If you accidentally want to eat more!

Steamed cream crab with rice cake: This is the first time I have eaten this method. The fat cream crab juice is soaked in the soft, glutinous and delicious rice cake. It has both the aroma of rice cake and the delicacy of crab. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

Signboard Tong 'an Seal Meat: It is also a feature here. Tong' an, Xiamen, is indispensable whenever people hold a happy event and build a new house. The whole piece of pork's front leg meat is served with chestnuts, mushrooms, dried shrimp and other ingredients, wrapped in gauze and steamed in a jar. The gauze is unwrapped when served, so it is called sealed meat.


Xiamen's old flavor, was it what you remember: Siyu Fujian cuisine·Old Xiamen specialties


Many cities have a Zhongshan Road, and each Zhongshan Road is located in the center of the city. Zhongshan Road in Xiamen is the oldest commercial street in Xiamen and the only pedestrian street in the country leading to the sea. This was once the most prosperous area in Xiamen and the most important urban business district in Xiamen.

Nowadays, Zhongshan Road is still popular. When night begins, the whole street is crowded with people. There are shops on both sides of the street. The dazzling array of products makes people feel dizzying. Specialties, clothing, catering, etc. are available here.

This time, what I want to recommend is this Siyu Old Xiamen specialty. You can see from the door that many stars have come here to check in. It shows that the popularity is very popular. I am in Xiamen, do you want to make a date?

People who like to eat snails will definitely put them down, just like the sucking power!

Ginger duck is a very famous Xiamen specialty. Duck meat is a delicious dish suitable for nourishing. When made with ginger, it can nourish both qi and blood without being greasy, warm and dry.

The hairy crabs abundant in Jianghuai are mainly steamed, while Xiamen, which is rich in seafood, has a special liking for fried crabs. Frying can make the crab meat tighter and more delicious, allowing diners to taste the delicious taste of the crabs. Frying the crab is to cut the whole crab in half, add salt, wine and other ingredients, and put them into a frying pan and slowly fry until the crab shell turns red.

Since a seaside city, seafood is of course the most important. The biggest feature of seafood platters is that you can taste a variety of different categories and flavors at the same time.

Old Xiamen's specialty meat swallow soup, milky white pork bone soup, and crystal clear meat swallow. When you eat it, it will be tender and meaty, delicious and refreshing.


The old flavor of Xiamen, was it what you remember:Ginger Mother Duck Strong Pan-fried Crab·Old Xiamen Ace Cuisine (Zhongshan Road Store)


It is a not wide street, an inconspicuous shop, and even has a somewhat dilapidated feeling. The door is covered with many green plants. It has been operating here for more than 20 years, and there is a need to queue up every day during the peak dining period., focusing on Xiamen's local specialties and snacks.

The decoration is not luxurious, but it has the original look of urban life, and everything exudes an authentic atmosphere of life.

The second and third floors are dining areas. Green plants and rockery have become the most conspicuous presence here, creating a poetic dining environment.

Looking out from the window, the style of Xiamen's Laocheng District is in front of you, and a trace of the passage of time has also accumulated here.

A pot of fragrant seafood porridge brings a low-key seaside flavor. Fresh shrimp, clams, squid and other seafood are boiled together. The delicacy of the seafood and the fragrance of rice grains firmly retain the appetite. It's not over without a few bowls.

Five-spice rolls are an authentic Xiamen specialty snack. Horseshoe and meat are the main ingredients. They are fried until golden and crispy and delicious on the outside.

Oyster fried and bamboo shoots stewed are also unique. These two snacks are almost wiped out.


The old flavor of Xiamen, was it what you remember:Paste Duck Pot Ginger Mother Duck Seafood Hotpot·Xiamen Hotpot


Speaking of hot pot, our impression was the spicy Sichuan and Chongqing flavor, but this time we tasted the unique Xiamen ginger duck cream crab hot pot.

As a unique Xiamen flavor, the way to use ginger duck as a soup base and fresh cream crabs is mouth-watering. The tomatoes and ginger are slowly cooked and the fat crab paste make the entire soup base full of fragrance.

The seafood selected here is fresh and ready to be killed. When the huge cream crabs are served, the crab legs are still moving. Just looking at the pieces of cream crabs, I can't help but want to start immediately.

The most ritualistic way to eat is still fresh shrimp and octopus. Can you imagine a few lively shrimps dancing in front of you? Can you imagine the octopus still getting entangled when it comes to the pot?

In addition, there are abalone, scallops, and clams, which are the best to enjoy one piece at a time.

The key point is that Xiamen instant noodles can be replenished indefinitely. A simple instant noodles carry the memories of many people. They can be eaten by simply boiling them in a soup pot.

At the last moment, another bowl of ancient morning roasted grass. This is the feeling you want.

I happened to encounter a very interesting Xiamen folk culture here: Bo Bing, which is about happiness and a good sign for Bo Bo. Most people are willing to believe that those who win the top prize in Bo Bo will always have very good luck throughout the year. This is of course because people's emotional sustenance are poured into the Bo Bing activities.

Dozens of stalls on the first floor to the third floor gather many kinds of specialty snacks from Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places, such as Xiamen Shacha Noodles, Gulong Soy Sauce Water Ice Cream, Sea Oyster Pancake, Bamboo Shoots Jelly, Huinu Potato Noodles, Bean Pudding Fans, etc., I feel like you can taste Xiamen here!

A large bathtub is placed here in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows. This is the best way to vacation. Here, you can both soak in the bathtub and watch the rising and falling tide and the stars shine.

The furnishings in the room are also mainly white. Every piece of bedding, decorations, small tea table, etc. has ulterior motives. Black embellishments are used in other hardware facilities. This combination is quite good.


Zeng Cuo 'an's Internet celebrity bookstore Congyu Bookstore



I was already very familiar with this place before I arrived here. The name can tell the owner's pursuit of books and the more concepts brought around them.

I am grateful for the day I met you. At first glance, I thought it was a rhetoric about love, but I didn't know that this was really just a bookstore, a place filled with all kinds of books.

Nowadays, the rapid development of electronic information has brought huge challenges and changes to traditional bookstores. Bookstores are no longer just as simple as reading books.

This bookstore is Zeng Cuo 'an's famous Internet celebrity check-in point. Every day, many beautiful ladies and sisters come to take photos. Maybe you will become an Internet celebrity someday!
