A place that I have been talking about for a long time, Xiamen ~
Thinking about traveling with my best friend ~
Thinking of going alone ~
In the end, it turned into a parent-child tour ~
It seems that I am used to writing travel notes every time I come back from home, and recording all kinds of local written forms. And we all know that what we have experienced and felt will be deeply engraved in our minds, lingering and lingering.
Character: I, my sons Dong Ge, Lao Tie, Lao Tie's son Doudou, are on the regular team every year
My Lao Tie and I are the perfect partner. I am responsible for the preparations before traveling, arranging accommodation schedules, booking air tickets, and various tickets. After leaving, I basically don't worry. She is fully responsible for it. Basically, she is the first to get up and the last to go to bed. She does all the important tiring tasks.
Originally, we were planning to go to Xiamen + Wuyishan this time. Due to the sudden flood in Wuyishan before the rough hair, the two-day trip to Wuyishan was forcibly cancelled. However, if we took the baby out, four days were almost the limit of our adults. I still couldn't recover after a few days. I often woke up in the middle of the night, and then vaguely wondered where I was now!
The choice of time is Saturday, July 13. The transportation for this trip is a combination of aircraft + high-speed rail. Yangtai Airport to Chaoshan Jieyang, Chaoshan Station high-speed rail to Xiamen Station. The direct flights from Yangzhou to Xiamen are either early and the time is right. The price is also slightly higher, so choosing Chaoshan Jieyang Airport as a transit point is a little tired, but the key is saving a lot of meters, which is also a great value for money. In fact, Chaoshan Jieyang Station serves as a transit point to Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Xiamen is quite convenient, and the airport facilities are very good. The airport has free commercial buses to the high-speed rail station, which runs every about 20 minutes, which is still relatively convenient. The key point is that there are often discounted tickets to Jieyang Airport. There were also people on our plane who managed to get 9 yuan from Yangtai to Jieyang. Our ticket price is 620 for a large one and a small one, plus insurance. I think it is very suitable. This price during the summer.
The day of departure coincided with Dong Ge's small birthday, and he had a particularly unforgettable birthday at the airport. My Lao Tie also affectionately prepared a cake for him, shared the cake with everyone, and received blessings from strangers from all walks of life. Thank you!
We were on the 12.45 flight. We took the 10 o'clock airport bus to the airport, checked in, and had lunch. We brought our own instant noodles. It is a custom here to eat noodles at noon on birthdays. After we finish eating, cleaning and going through security check, the time connection is very good.
It was the first time I celebrated my birthday at the airport. Everyone sang birthday songs together, shared cakes with their lovely sister, and received birthday wishes from everyone. It was an unforgettable birthday in their lives.
After eating the cake, we went in for security inspection. When checking in, my Laotie carried a small portable electric fan in his suitcase. There were batteries in the electric fan. When checking in, the suitcase was stopped. Batteries and battery chargers were not allowed to be checked in. We struggled for a while, and when passing the security inspection, my Laotie's cosmetics were found to exceed the standard and were not allowed to be taken on the plane. I remember that two years ago, when I was flying at Yangtai Airport, the security was very loose and there were not so many restrictions. I am a little tight now. After all, for the sake of everyone's life safety, I asked the staff if I could go out and check in again, and whether I would charge for checking in again. However, the staff never gave me a positive answer and asked me to go out and consult on my own. This service attitude was a little out of keeping up. I don't know if she found it troublesome or if she had to answer many passengers 'questions in a day. It doesn't matter. I went out and asked myself. At that time, it was still early before we boarded the plane. I asked Lao Tie to take the two children in first. I went out to check in. When I went to the counter, I checked in very easily. There was an extra bag in my backpack. We each bought the weight of 20kg of luggage, but the weight was not up to standard, and there was no charge. If the weight of the luggage reaches the standard, it doesn't matter. If the value of the item is relatively high, you can express it home at the airport. There are still many options, but this is all based on the fact that you have enough time. If you go out, you should have enough time.
The first photo taken at the airport·
The plane was not late. Fortunately, this was the first time the two children took a plane and they were very excited!
The visibility was poor when the plane first took off. After flying for about an hour, many large marshmallows appeared in the sky.
I rushed to get on the bus and forgot to take photos. I saw this on the road. It was a car like this. Because there were too many people on the bus when we got off the plane, we took the next bus and looked at the time. When we arrived at Chaoshan Station, the only way to Xiamen to buy high-speed rail tickets is to Xiamen north. Xiamen north is also quite far away, so it is far to take a taxi to our B & B. After discussing with Laotie, we can directly take the 5.30 train from Chaoshan to Xiamen Station and arrive in Xiamen at 7.10. We arrived at Chaoshan Station on about 4.40, and we didn't wait long before we started checking in.
After getting on the high-speed rail, everyone unanimously responded that it would be more comfortable to sit on the high-speed rail, free and perhaps far away from the ground. Everyone didn't feel safe. We arrived in Xiamen an hour and a half later. We had just left the train station. The humidity coming on us was a completely different experience from our Yangzhou, which is like this in coastal cities? We took a taxi directly to Zengcuo 'an's B & B. After arriving at the B & B and putting down our luggage, everyone was tired from the bus and didn't want to move. The first thing the two little friends did was turn on the TV. Are all children like this? After resting for a while, we decided to go out for a walk. After all, we were only a few streets away from Zeng Cuo 'an's snacks, so it would be a bit wasteful not to stroll.
I searched for this Ayuanli seafood stall online. On the first day, we didn't know the road conditions, so it took a lot of effort to find this store. We ordered the set meal, boiled prawns, shellfish platter, yellow croaker soy sauce water, local pork soup, seaweed rice, and I ordered a special snack from southern Fujian, oyster fried, which is really delicious. The seafood is very fresh and are signature dishes. There is a certain reason why his family was rated as a must-eat restaurant. The quantity is sufficient and the service is enthusiastic. I don't recommend you to order more when there are few people. Shrimp meat is puffed with teeth, and yellow croaker is preserved with authentic soy sauce and water. The large portion of oyster frying is still a small portion. It's really a conscience. The seaweed fried rice has clear grains and was robbed by the two children. The pork soup is also very pure. The shellfish platter contains oysters, scallops, clams, and mussels. It's very fresh and sweet. I really don't want it, the four of us are very full this meal. Let's just nod at 200. The perfect seafood dinner alleviated our day's travel and travel. After a short stroll, we went back to the B & B because we still have a trip tomorrow!
Here, let me briefly talk about where we stayed this time. We decided to stay in Zengcuo 'an. The reason is that it is close to the sea, has snacks, and transportation is relatively convenient. There are buses to every scenic spot, but it's okay to go out every day. When we go back at night, we have to pass through the crowded snack street. It's still quite dilapidated and can't walk fast. We can only follow the crowd slowly. It feels very bad. If we encounter children who need a bathroom or something, the faster and slower, but the overall environment of the B & B is still good. Booking a B & B is still a difficult task. We take the baby and stay in a standard room. The twin beds should be large, the transportation location should be good, and the bathroom should be separated from dry and wet. The most important thing is that the price should be appropriate. If I had to choose again, I would choose a hotel near the Zengcuo 'an bus, so that I can not only stroll to the snack street, but also play the sea, so that I can save a lot of walking every day!
Attach the B & B website: hotels.ctrip.com/hotel/6483590.html#ctm_ref=hod_hp_sb_lst
There is also a bathtub that fulfills its mission every day!
The next morning we slept until we woke up naturally. Our itinerary for this morning was to take a sailboat out to see white dolphins at the Wuyuan Bay Sailing Port (if we were lucky). The tickets were booked online before. The car was picked up by car. Both adults and children were 85 each, which was cheaper than buying on site. The key was that the car was picked up by car. It was very convenient. We went to the appointed Zengcuo 'an Bus Station, and a car would pick us up on time at 9.30.
Lao Tie went out to buy breakfast. After eating breakfast, he went out!
The car was still comfortable. In Xiamen, our sweat glands were fully opened. The scenery along the round-island road was very beautiful.
The car took about half an hour to arrive at Wuyuan Bay Sailing Port.
The city view of Wuyuan Bay Wharf complements the sea view. The scenery is really good. This is our first time sailing to sea, and we are still a little uneasy. The captain has always told us that it is very safe and sailing is not fast, but the interesting captain will adjust the whole ship to a large tilt and then let you get wet. It is quite exciting. An hour out to sea can you look at Kinmen from afar and ride on the waves next to the ship. The captain has good skills. Although he didn't see dolphins, But the whole trip was still a very happy one. Remind traveling friends to go to the beach to protect themselves from sunburn! We returned the same way we came, and the driver dropped us at the bus stop in Zengcuo 'an. We decided to go back to the B & B to wash and rest for a while at noon. It was the hottest time, so we ordered a takeout and went directly to the B & B.
This is the takeout we ordered at noon. Beef offal rice + Beef meatball rice + Beef offal soup + Stewed Beef offal. The CD ended. After eating, everyone went to lunch break mode. When we woke up in the afternoon, we went to Xiamen University, the most beautiful university. Xiamen University is now relatively difficult to enter. We have to make an appointment three days in advance. There is a number limit every day. The day we went on Sunday is limited to 5000 people, 2500 in the morning and 2500 in the afternoon. I set the alarm clock at 1 o'clock in the afternoon on Thursday to start grabbing on time. Where to grab it? Pay attention to the public account of Xiamen University on your mobile phone. Xiamen University is the only official reservation channel certified by Xiamen University. You edit the information of the people you want to go in advance so that you can buy tickets directly by then. After I made a successful reservation with a score of 1.02, when I looked back, 2500 people had already been booked. These tourist cities are really popular during the summer. Of course, if you really want to go to Xiamen University and haven't bought a ticket, you can find relevant people online. It's about 50-60 per person, but you can also enter. After we came back, a friend of my sister chose to go with a group tour because Xiamen University couldn't make a successful reservation. Just to see the style of Xiamen University. In fact, Xiamen doesn't need to go with a group. The attractions are basically relatively concentrated. Moreover, this kind of seaside city is more suitable for leisurely sightseeing. A friend of mine asked me in the circle of friends, how do you feel like you've been playing Xiamen for more than 10 days, haha. Of course, this is for later, after all, my travel notes have just been written the second day.
We set off when we woke up. We took the 847 bus from Zengcuo 'an and went directly to
Xiamen University's Jiageng style campus building is a fusion of Chinese and Western architectural cultures. Take the child to experience the most beautiful university and hope to study hard in the future.
Xiamen University's Furong Tunnel, that I love you, goodbye! It should have happened in many travel notes. At the entrance of Furong Tunnel, we had someone take a big photo for us, taking the four of us so small. Haha, cute! We had dinner today at Furong Restaurant in Xiamen University. We wanted to eat it on the first floor, but external staff could only eat it on the third floor.
The burning clouds will definitely be more beautiful after the rain ~
So we walked along the viewing platform of Yanwu Bridge, and the sky gradually became dark. We arrived in Xiamen last night and had not taken the baby to the beach yet. We decided to take the baby to dig sand for a while. We bought two shovels and small buckets, and picked up shells and crabs.,, the next day, it was over!
On the third day, we booked the ferry ticket for 8:30 in the morning. The ferry ticket was booked several days in advance, because the only way to get to Gulangyu was by boat. There are many people during the summer, so it is normal that we cannot get a ticket to go to the island. If we buy it on the same day, we may only have to buy afternoon tickets and board the ship. When booking tickets on WeChat, we pay attention to the public account of Xiamen Ferry Co., Ltd., which has a WeChat ticket purchase function, from the cruise center Xiagu Wharf to Sanqiutian Wharf. From the Cruise Center Pier to Neicuo O Pier, first-time tourists may not know which terminal to book at. In fact, it is more suitable to go to Sanqiutian Pier. Looking at the entire island, after arriving at Sanqiutian Pier, it is relatively close to various attractions. Neicuo O Pier is a bit off the road. The ticket is 35 yuan for round-trip, and 18 yuan for children. You can enter and exit by swiping your ID card
We had breakfast at a breakfast restaurant in Zengcuo 'an. Shacha noodles, wontons, soup dumplings, soy milk, tea eggs, totaling 75. After breakfast, we took the bus to the dock.
8.30 We arrived at the dock at 8:10 and the time was very well controlled
The heat made our little fat beans confused, and our faces were hopeless. Okay, no matter how hot it is, we will enter the island! Dong Ge is really good. He complains less, and occasionally he will. I will just say that everyone feels the same. When you are hot, we are all very hot. Later, when I casually said that I was very tired, he would also say that I told me not to complain, um, very good, the positive energy that travel brings you
You follow the signs to reach the attractions you want to visit throughout Gulangyu, but in fact Gulangyu is more suitable for walking blindly. The legendary Lost Gulangyu will return to the main road no matter how you go. However, our family has a map controller and we do not allow you to walk blindly. Follow his footsteps. Sometimes I question him. At this time, I verify the uncle selling fruit on the roadside, and then the result was that he was right, and he said that I didn't trust him.
It was this section of the road to Riguangyan that I wanted to go straight, but he said I would turn right. In the end, I was wrong. Later, I listened to him wherever I went.
Walking to a postcard delivery shop on Longtou Road, it had air conditioning, we decided to go in and have a stroll
I sent a postcard and bought a refrigerator sticker inside for 18 yuan
If you don't drink Zhang Sanfeng, you don't mean you have been to Gulangyu. In fact, Miss Zhao has already driven Zhang Sanfeng on Gulangyu to Zengcuo 'an. A cup of milk tea at 20 is not cheap. Just take it as a drink once
When Zhang Sanfeng came out of the milk tea shop, we strolled for a while. The two children both said they were hungry, so we found a restaurant to eat. For a few days after we came out, what my children wanted to eat most was egg fried rice. It was not on the menu, so we specially asked the chef to fry one.
We ordered a Taiwanese braised pork rice, an egg fried rice, oyster fried rice, cuttlefish balls, and fruits. We didn't order much, but it tasted good. Look, we all made a reservation.
When I saw this old man playing guitar in a milk tea shop, Dong Ge learned ukulele this year, he admired people who played guitar well. He took the initiative to ask me if I could take a photo with this grandfather. I asked him to take the initiative. I asked him to ask his grandfather. Grandpa was very enthusiastic and gave him the guitar to try it out without saying a word.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, we made an appointment for the Sumu tour shoot, which was only around 1:00 in the afternoon. I asked the photographer A Jun if he could advance it, and the photographer said he just wanted to tell you if he could postpone it. Too much sunshine would affect the shooting effect, so we gave up. We found a dessert shop to spend the good time in Gulangyu Island
At the door of the dessert shop, the map was almost rotten by him
On the way, I went to the bathroom once, and I probably traveled half of Gulangyu Island. I didn't find it the first time I went out and was unwilling. The second time I went out and walked for a long time before I found the bathroom. There are so few toilets in Xiamen. People who are really in need can't afford to hurt them. The children play games, and we adults take photos. Time flies too. The photographer Ajun made an appointment with me at 3 o'clock, and our tour photo shoot officially started!
I booked the travel photo online before. The 399 package was set for two hours of photography and all the negatives were sent away. Overall, I was quite satisfied. There was no promotion at all, allowing you to spend money to refine it or something. This feeling was still quite good. Ah Jun was more popular with children, and both children were very cooperative and it was more natural to shoot in a studio. Moreover, the places he took you to take photos were relatively niche places compared to tourists. It could be considered that he saw the other side of Gulangyu Island. It was worth the money.
Each clam is big, fresh and sweet, and has no sand
Ginger duck is also a characteristic of southern Fujian. After tasting it, it tastes like sesame oil.
After eating, we said we were leaving. Lu Dongdong said that he would go and say hello to a little brother, because the two of them had a fate when they first came. He said that this little brother touched his head and that he had a good impression on this brother. Please satisfy your wishes. Let's take a photo. This is the harvest of the journey and establish trust and goodwill between people. Many years later, Dong Ge, will you still remember this little brother from Zengcuo 'an Seafood Store? I think the answer is yes.
The fourth day's itinerary was originally to go to Wanshi Botanical Garden in the morning and the Science and Technology Museum in the afternoon. By the time we lingered around the door and finished breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock. When we went to the bus stop and took the bus to the Botanical Garden, we were deceived by a local fake tour guide that the most fun rainforest spray in the Botanical Garden had been turned off. When I made the guide, I remembered that it started from 9:00 a.m. to 11 a.m. and ended from 3:00 to 5 p.m., but after hearing what he said, I felt a little uncomfortable. Lao Tie said that we should go to the Science and Technology Museum first and go to the Botanical Garden in the afternoon. Then the fake tour guide said that there was nothing to do in the Science and Technology Museum on the island and that we had to go outside the island. It was very far away. He kept following us. His ultimate goal was to make us give up the two places we went to today and then go to the place he recommended to see Little Kinmen or something. At this time, Lao Tie decisively said that we would go to the Science and Technology Museum, so when we meet these people, we just ignore it. Follow your own pace
What these two people are wearing today is to bring salt to the two major sports brands. Today's breakfast was settled in KFC
We didn't plan to spend so long in the Science and Technology Museum, but the children enjoyed themselves and were indoors. Moreover, we bought a set ticket, so we simply let the children have fun. We stayed until around 4:30 pm that day before leaving. Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is a check-in point for Xiamen tourism. There are many projects that adults and children can experience together, but I don't love technology or invention, so I just play with my children. There is a mirror maze. The first time I entered, I actually failed to come out. I felt that people with claustrophobia couldn't afford to hurt inside. It felt like I was trapped and would never get out. The second time I entered the challenge was the four of us. Together, following the large army, I finally felt more at ease. Also, we finally feel like a team today. The four of us agreed to wear white when going out.
We watched a performance on the magnetic stage. The first performance was static electricity, and we had to invite a long-haired lady to cooperate with the performance. Spread out his hair on his back, and then walk into the cage, and there was a scene of all his hair standing on his head. Dong Ge gets up every morning with his hair standing on his head. I later said that he is a man with his own electricity. After watching the performance, it was almost 4:30, so we decided to go back. We didn't even eat lunch. Everyone was hungry.
When I came out, I ran into a food stall and asked the boss if I could have dinner at this time. The boss readily said yes. Okay, this is it.
After eating so much, Lao Tie also wanted a bowl of Sixi soup. There was a small vegetable shop next to the night food stall. Lao Tie bought red heart dragon fruit and local fruit guava. Later, he went back to eat dragon fruit at night. It was really the best dragon fruit I have ever eaten in my life. It is full of moisture and sweet. Guava is not recommended for everyone to buy it. We are waiting for the bus to go back. The reserved items for going back every day are to go to the beach and dig sand.
Today is the fifth day. I only booked this B & B for four nights. I wanted to leave for Wuyi Mountain this afternoon, but the trip to Wuyi Mountain was put on hold. I discussed with Lao Tie that today was our last day in Xiamen and that tomorrow I would take the high-speed train. I went home, booked a high-speed train ticket, and booked a hotel near the train station for one night as a place to stay for today. So the itinerary for this morning is to go to the seaside until noon, then come back to check out, and go to the next hotel
The city we are in has no sea, so we have a yearning for the sea. We both like and fear it. It is like a huge black hole that may drag you into the waves at any time when you are not prepared, but you are unconscious. I want to go and have more intimate contact with it.
A group of men and women walking in Zengcuo 'an wearing swimsuits still had the courage to go to the store to buy accompanying gifts. I admire you! We bought some things, went to the B & B to take a bath and tidy up, ordered takeout at the B & B, but there were no pictures. We ordered Dong Ge's favorite bullfrog, but we didn't take any photos. When we checked out, it was 12.30. The weather was hot. We took our luggage and directly called for a ride to the hotel. After arriving at the hotel, we took a short rest, and then went to Wanshi Botanical Garden! I bought tickets to the Botanical Garden on site. Each ticket is 30, and children under 1.4 are free. A free map is given. Most of the Botanical Garden come to the rainforest spray and meaty areas!
We ordered sea melon seeds, stir-fried giant bamboo clam, soy sauce sea shrimp, steamed vegetable crab, pineapple cake, bamboo shoots jelly, Xiamen fried noodle line, pork ribs soup, and an oil-wheat dish. The total should have been 328. A small incident occurred in the middle. While eating the crab, my old Tie found a hair on the crab's feet. We didn't think about it when we were away. It was originally on the shell of the crab's feet, so forget it. Then while eating, she ate another slightly shorter hair. After eating two hairs on a plate of crabs, we called the waiter from the restaurant. The manager of the restaurant was not bad and immediately waived the order for us. He didn't ignore it because we were foreign diners. The crab was 78 yuan, so we ate 250 yuan this meal. Let's talk about the dishes, the fried sea clam is very good, the meat is very fat and delicious. The bamboo shoots jelly is a snack in Xiamen, which tastes a bit like jelly, but it is filled with insect seafood. They were all a little scared, and in the end I ate them alone. The soy sauce shrimp was also very good and the meat was firm. Dong Ge had a special liking for sea melon seeds. It was a little small, but it did not affect its delicacy. On the contrary, it was the crab. I think it was average. Maybe the crab meat was not the best time at this time. The pineapple cake was recommended by the restaurant, which was okay. We thought that the four of us ordered a large portion of noodles, which was really a large portion, and the four of us didn't finish it. The portions of the dishes are still quite sufficient, so just order a small portion. The pork ribs soup was the first to be served, and we drank it all in a short while. The taste is imaginable. After eating, we decided to go to Xiamen's oldest commercial street. Take a stroll on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. In fact, the pedestrian street is now very commercial. Let's go and experience it. Whether it is the architecture or the atmosphere, it is a must to check in
We didn't have much to buy. We had just eaten enough and didn't want to eat. After a quick stroll, we took a taxi back to the hotel. Lao Tie went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients we needed for the high-speed train tomorrow. I took the two children back to take a bath. The division of labor was very clear. In fact, if you want to experience the life of Xiamen people, staying in Zengcuo 'an is not the best choice. Our current hotel is good. There is a pedicure shop next to it, some local food, grocery store and supermarket. Zeng Cuo 'an is just for the children to watch and play with the sea. It depends on your personal choices. I said this because I came back that day and went to the pedicure shop next door for a pedicure. I also dragged the two children because Lao Tie didn't come back from shopping. I wanted to relax, but I didn't expect that after the female master pressed it, my neck would hurt for a week and my heart was heartbroken...
At this point, all our trips are over,
The four of us went to Peach Blossom Pond together and saw the water depth of 3,000 feet.
The four of us went to Moon Bay to experience the fun of rafting,
The four of us went to Nantong Yangshan Port to dig clams,
The four of us went to Changzhou Dinosaur Park to see fake dinosaurs.
The four of us went to Beijing to see Tiananmen Square, climb the Great Wall,
This year, the four of us went to Xiamen to visit the sea and see the most beautiful university in China.
If possible, I hope the four of us can go to more cities in the motherland.
Use our eyes and bodies to fully appreciate the charm of every city.
END!
