This is a city that has lived for ten years but still feels unfamiliar. The neon lights are shining coldly on the smooth road that has just rained. The endless illusion is huge. The city is huge, but this concrete forest cannot squeeze everyone's dreams. Once helpless, hesitant and cynical, but responsibility still saves you from the flirtatious indulgence of childhood and the flirtatious extravagance of singing every night. You have transformed from a naughty child into the expectation of your family. You travel between morning and midnight. Finally, hysterical fatigue climbed up your back one night. When time secretly squeezes out some free time for you, when hard work regardless of black and white saves you some spare money, when parents 'laws have another circle, when children's desire for the world is greater, do you want to temporarily relieve your burden and find a place where the family can eat and drink, and stop and stop for a few days without being tied by daily necessities, rice, oil and salt, so that those quarrels from the kitchen to the bedroom can be melted by happiness during travel If there is a place, The seasons can be like spring all year round, and the years are gentle. If there is a place with mountains and mountains facing the sea, where the wind sings and birds sing, this place must have a nice name. It is called Xiamen, a city floating in the sea and full of frangipani blossoms!! PS: This is a Xiamen guide that is chewed up, fed to your mouth, and digested with just one bite. Please remember to collect it, and hope it can provide the joy of the whole family's spring outing in 2020.ˇRegarding Xiamen, if it is selected as the most suitable leisure tourism city for the elderly and supporting the children, where the family enjoys a happy life, and where they eat and drink, Sanya, Xiamen, Qingdao and Chengdu are definitely the top four on the list. They have complete facilities, rich attractions, and many tourism employees. However, it is precisely because of this that various pits exist in the tourism market. If you accidentally fall into the trap of unscrupulous businessmen, it will ruin the long-awaited trip of the family. I have written parent-child travel notes in Sanya, Qingdao, and Chengdu, and this Xiamen guide I want to provide the most detailed and practical reference for the majority of office workers and friends, visit Xiamen's most worthwhile attractions, eat Xiamen's most authentic time-honored brands, and stay at Xiamen's most cost-effective hotel to make a trip perfect.★ Overview of the location of attractions in Xiamen ★ Xiamen is divided into two parts: inside and outside the island (see the picture below). There are 6 districts in total. Outside the island are Tongan District, Xiang 'an District, Jimei District, and Haicang District. The old city to the south of the island is Siming District, and the new city to the north is Huli District. Important attractions and transportation stops are concentrated in Siming District, Huli District and Jimei District, including Gulangyu Island, Xiamen Science and Technology Museum, Xiamen University, Zhongshan Road, Zengcuo 'an, Bashi, Huandao Road, Nanputuo, Railway Station, Ferry Terminal, are all located in ★ Siming District ★. Siming District gathers 90% of Xiamen's attractions and beautiful food, making it the top priority, so the price of accommodation is more expensive than other areas. Xiamen Gaoqi Airport is located in ★ Huli District ★. It takes about 30 minutes to get off the plane from Huli District to Siming District. Jimei University is located in ★ Jimei District ★. The returning overseas Chinese Mr. Chen Jiageng integrated the style of Nanyang into and outside the campus.
Overview️ of Attractions Around Xiamen If you travel for a long time in Xiamen, I also recommend that you rent a car and take your family to the surrounding areas of Xiamen. There are two recommendations around Xiamen, one is Zhangzhou Volcano Natural Scenic Area, which is a 1.5-hour journey away. It has now become Xiamen's most popular Internet celebrity check-in place. Mothers who like to take beautiful photos must not miss it. They can also take their children to see volcanic relics; The other is the Tulou Group in Zhangzhou, a world heritage site. This is quite famous. We will introduce it in detail later.
I recommend that everyone rent a car and drive in Xiamen. If you are in the thirties and travel to Xiamen with the young, renting a car is the most economical and comfortable way to travel to Xiamen. Pick up and return cars at the airport. On several mainstream car rental platforms, the daily rental price of an economy car is about 150 yuan. Including fuel and parking fees, it is only 50-60 yuan per person. It is not only convenient and comfortable, but also can increase the travel radius. You can even drive to Fujian Tulou Group, a world heritage site 2 hours 'drive from Xiamen (detailed tips will be given later). Recommendations️ for hotels and surrounding food in Xiamen️ The price for one night parking is 20 yuan.
The hotel is not too big, just a U-shaped courtyard with a cold white tone. There is a swimming pool and bar with ocean balls in the center. The photos should be nice, but when we came, we were on the day of cleaning the pool. The boss refused to release the balls in advance, saying that the mat had not been dried yet and would not be released until tomorrow, so we missed it.
The room is also in the cool Nordic colors that are now popular. The distinctive hammock is in the middle of the room, which children will like more. The bedding is clean and comfortable, worthy of the price of 209 a night.
The toilet area is not bad, and the bathroom hardware is TOTO. It seems that the boss is a particular person. According to this configuration, during the peak tourist season in Xiamen, the room price may rise to 300+, but it is still worth living.
There is a small children's tent in the room, which makes the simple room layout a little more childlike
It's nice to take pictures when there is sunshine in the yard. If the pool is covered with ocean balls, it should be particularly popular and the children can play for a while. Unfortunately, if they miss it, the boss refused to put it in in advance, saying that the mat is not completely dry yet and is afraid of the tide.
I prefer this circle of cactus, probably because of the variety. It looks particularly advanced and particularly INS
[GoodTime Talk Beautiful Inn] Breakfast was not included. We found this unreliable "Xiamen Famous Snack" at the entrance of the alley and planned to go to the Xiamen Science and Technology Museum after just having a meal. There were several competitors nearby, but this "20-year-old store" sign still allowed it to win. The store was run by several aunties, who spoke "Mandarin" that was not easy to understand. After looking at the menu, it was not very expensive, so he tried to order a few breakfast dishes.
These are all ingredients for porridge, and they all look relatively fresh, so I ordered a seafood porridge for 10 yuan
In the end, I found that it was quite delicious. The cooking method was very similar to Chaoshan porridge. At this time, I kind of believed that this place was really a "twenty-year-old store".
I ordered a serving of swallow dumplings for my son. I don't know if the taste is good. Anyway, he wasn't willing to give it to me at all. It should be good. The price is also 10 yuan.
The more expensive one is this oyster pan, which is more than 20 yuan, but the taste is really much better than the time-honored Lianhuan oyster pan on Zhongshan Road. It is a lot of sea oysters and the taste is crispy. Lianhuan's family uses a lot of eggs to fill it, and the soft ones are not delicious at all.
If you choose to stay in GoodTime, don't miss this "twenty-year-old brand" for breakfast.ˇAbout 250 yuan---[Xiamen Wujing Shanhai Travel Hall] After seeing a B & B, let's take a look at a resort backed by the mountains, called [Xiamen Wujing Shanhai Travel Hall]. The price I booked at that time was 278 yuan. Although relying on the mountains, it's quite close to the city center. It's a 10-minute drive down the mountain. The hotel has a yard for free parking, which is great.
The main area of the hotel is this circle of red houses. There is also a super delicious Fujian restaurant and a Western restaurant next to it, both decorated in a more stylish manner.
In addition to being cheap, the most attractive thing about the hotel is this beautiful Southeast Asian style courtyard. Occasionally, it feels like being in Bali and is quite comfortable to stay in. However, this courtyard is not unique to the hotel. The restaurant next to it can also be passed through, but it is completely deserted in the morning.
When I came back at night, there were not many people in the yard, so this small pavilion where we could make tea was contracted by our family.
The lights shine at night, making it seem more exciting than during the day
Another highlight of the hotel is tea. It is not for you to drink, but smoked and boiled tea leaves in the corridor 24 hours a day. Therefore, the entire hotel has a faint aroma of tea, smells very comfortable and elegant.
After talking about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages. We booked the cheapest "Shanhai Delicate Big Bed Room". The room was a bit small, so I could have just stayed in it, but the facilities in the room were still 4-star standards, so it was quite comfortable to use.
After all, the price is only 278 yuan, so let's make it smaller. But then again, the hotels in Xiamen are really cost-effective, and the hotel owners are quite good at management. The three hotels we stayed in all have super good service attitudes.
hotel lobby
The hotel provides breakfast per serving and free for children. The highlight is that there is an imported German milk, which is also sold at JD for 5 yuan each.
It's okay to stay in this Shanhaijian Hotel, but what I particularly want to recommend to everyone is this Jiulong Tong No. 5 restaurant next to the hotel. We arrived at the hotel too late and were too lazy to drive out to find food. After reading the online reviews on this restaurant. It was good, so we came here. This restaurant is very large, with many rooms down the mountain, and a wedding reception is being held. Although the boss was very proud and kept a dark face when he saw that we were late and did not want to make it for us. Judging from this attitude, I wanted to go back to my room to make instant noodles, but my wife refused and had to stay, but the taste was really delicious. I have to say, so I have to recommend it. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best meal I have ever had in Xiamen four times. I ordered three dishes, and each dish is a surprise. It is much more delicious and affordable than those so-called Internet celebrity shops. Moreover, most of the people who eat here are Xiamen locals, so they are not afraid of going into the pit. Originally, there were a lot of live seafood to order in the restaurant. I was afraid of being expensive, so I didn't dare to order, so I marked the price according to the menu. The name of the dish above seemed to be called Shacha Sauce Seafood Pot, and the price was 88 yuan per serving. It was typical of Fujian cuisine. The main ingredients were shrimp, squid and fish balls. It was very fresh and the taste was very mellow. It was so delicious that I drank all the soup.
Then I ordered an oyster shrimp fried rice for my son. The price was 38 yuan. It was a little oily, but it tasted really good. Sprouds, dried shrimp, oysters and shredded cabbage were a perfect match for rice, and the portions were sufficient. Later, I ate it a little tired, so I packed half of it and ate it for breakfast the next day. If you have been eating light food, you can ask me to put in less oil. As a person from Chongqing, I think the oil is a little heavier.
The third dish is the curry belly strips that my wife likes to eat. It is slightly spicy and the belly strips are soft and waxy to chew. Alas, now I write in the middle of the night, and the more I write, the more I drool.
ˇAbout 350 yuan-----[Xiamen Wuer·Yinshe Light Luxury Seaview Resort Beautiful Villa] After staying in the mountain resort, let's come again to experience the seaside resort [Xiamen Wuer·Yinshe Light Luxury Seaview Resort Beautiful Villa], the name is relatively long, and it can be seen that the boss wants to include all the advantages of the B & B in his name and is a little anxious. The location is on the beach of Huangcuo, a little far away from the city center. It is more convenient to drive. You can park a car at the door for free. There is no place. There is a paid sea view parking lot across the street, haha.
This hotel is the most expensive and beautiful of the three. There is a swimming pool on the first floor, but the weather is too cold and we dare not try it.
The reception hall is on the seventh floor, which is also the location of the cafe. It is relatively refreshing and beautiful. You can see the sea not far away through the floor-to-ceiling glass
There is a large terrace outside the reception hall, which is also the hotel's leisure place. There is a place for children to play in the water. The depth is just right for their feet to wet. A big yellow duck can bear the weight of a child under 6 years old.
This hotel is located in Huangcuo, which is slightly more remote. It is not far from the downstairs and is also lively at night. It is a five-minute walk across the road to Huangcuo Beach. If you want to enjoy good food and a leisurely vacation, this is a good choice.
The room is quite beautiful, which is a Nordic style that is very popular in B & Bs. The overall bedding is also the best among the three hotels, and you get what you pay for.
There were many choices for eating at Huangcuo Food Street. We were afraid of stepping on thunder and asked the front desk to recommend it to us. We were informed of this restaurant called seafood. There were discounted set meals recommended on site, but we still chose to order our own and ordered half of the ginger duck, a spicy crab, a fried garlic and a vegetable. The taste of the ginger duck was amazing, but the spicy crab and the garlic garlic were relatively average, especially the spicy crab. I felt that the crabs were so small and couldn't eat anything at all. If everyone came over, Just try to taste the ginger duck, and try not to choose seafood.
Yellow, orange and orange skin, take a sip of steam with the aroma of meat and ginger, swallow the saliva, and put a piece into the mouth. The duck is very delicious, with the aroma of ginger slices, and it is very delicious. This dish should be very careful about the heat, so it is slowly baked in a casserole through the hot sand, waiting for the seasoning on the skin to penetrate into the duck meat.
Huangcuo Beach is a 7-minute walk from the B & B across Xiamen Huanhai Road. However, this beach is not very beautiful when the weather is bad, but you can do with taking photos. After talking about the food in the hotel and its surroundings, we began our tour of attractions.ˇThe first day, Disney immersed in the scientific world
★ Today's itinerary: Xiamen Island ★ Transportation: Car rental ★ Accommodation: Xiamen GoodTime Qingyan Meiju (B & B, 209 yuan) ★ Attractions: Yunshuiyao, Xiamen Science and Technology Museum ★ Today's overview: After getting up in the morning, I took photos at the hotel. Then I stayed at the Xiamen Science and Technology Museum for a full day and enjoyed six exhibition areas, including "Exploration Hall","Creation Hall","Harmony Hall","Ocean Museum","Children's Paradise", and "Insect Showing Jianghu". Xiamen️ Science and Technology Museum If you ask me what I admire most about the Xiamen people, I will blurt it out without hesitation. They have a first-class science education center in the country-Xiamen Science and Technology Museum known as Disney in the technology industry. Therefore, the first stop after getting off the plane, we took our children to enjoy this science feast. There are several tickets, and there are discounts when purchased online. The main exhibition hall alone is 40 yuan (25 yuan for children), and the main exhibition hall + children's museum is 65 yuan (35 yuan for children). The main exhibition hall + children's museum + insect show Jianghu + leap cinema is 95 yuan (children's 65 yuan). Of course, we didn't want to miss any of them and directly purchased the most complete package ticket. The main exhibition hall has a total of five exhibition halls, namely: "Exploration Hall"(focusing on mirror maze, space-time tunnel, and magneto-electric wonder),"Creation Hall"(focusing on robot Rubik's cube, sea of flowers, painting robots, and next phase robots),"Harmony Hall"(focusing on digestive tract travel (big mouth), reaction time, 4D pirate ship cabin),"Aquarium"(focusing on simulated surfing, underwater world), and "Children's Paradise"(focusing on jungle exploration, magic rain). [Insects in Jianghu] is a special exhibition about tropical rainforests and their creatures. It is charged for an additional fee. It has more than 400 rare tropical and subtropical animals and plants, as well as Internet celebrity Cole ducks,"Yout" groundhogs and "Praying" otters. There are also three theaters for entertainment, namely Dream Theater, Flying Over Theater, and Flying Over 720°VR. TIPS: 1. Business hours are 9:00 a.m. -17:00 p.m. every day, and there is no rest at noon. 2. There are large luggage lockers and mobile charging treasure rental in the Science and Technology Museum to meet the needs of tourists. 3. There is no restaurant in the Science and Technology Museum, but takeout food and takeout are allowed. Takeout can be delivered at the ticket gate. 4. If you don't want takeout, there is a pedestrian street on the south side of the Science and Technology Museum, with a variety of restaurants to choose from. 5. A very important point is that the Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is not the same as the Chengyi Science and Technology Exploration Center off the island. In order to earn fares, unscrupulous taxi drivers often fabricate various reasons (closing the Science and Technology Museum, maintenance, relocation, etc.) to trick tourists into going to the Science and Technology Exploration Center off the island, so everyone must confirm the navigation and positioning when coming.
Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is a designated popular science education base for Xiamen's major, middle and primary schools. When we came here, we met groups of primary school students. From 2020 to 2040, we will inevitably usher in an era of explosive growth in new science and technology. Artificial intelligence, new material graphene, marine mining technology... The future lifestyle will also undergo great changes, and what our parents should do for their children is to cultivate their interest in science and knowledge from an early age. Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is the best carrier. Here, we once again envy Xiamen under real name. people.
The first stop after checking in is the "Exploration Hall". Here, we are committed to using children's own eyes to perceive the joy of science. There are several big projects that Diandian and I like very much, and it is also easy to raise children's interest in learning science. The first project to experience is the "Mirror Maze". This is a strange space constructed of N multiple mirrors. Don't think that you can find your way just because you have eyes. After entering, you really can't find the exit. It is full of confusion. If you accidentally hit the mirror, you can only touch it, so you must wear good gloves. After all, cleaning the mirror is still very difficult and requires everyone to take care of it.
The [Mirror Maze] is full of all kinds of strange lights, so it is also a good place to take photos. There will be many people in your circle of friends.
Through optical refraction and reflection, I can find hundreds of dots in the same space, and sometimes I can't even tell which is real and which is false.
There was originally a map at the entrance of the mirror maze, but really, after entering, there was a map or not. It would be nice not to hit the wall. It was fun and beautiful. This first project made us addicted.
The second project involved in the experience is called "Tree and Its Friends". The "Mirror Maze" just now is inspired by science. This time, it is an observation of nature. An artificial tree in the middle of the venue is equipped with various specimens for children. It presents the living conditions of various organisms in the forest and their relationship with the big tree.
There are various types of creatures living in it from the lowest tree roots to the top treetops, and the display of specimens is arranged from bottom to top according to the living environment of the creatures, which can better allow children to form a clear ecosystem model. This is difficult to encounter such detailed and thorough designs in science and technology museums in other cities. This is the gap.
We start at the top of the food chain, where specimens of various arboreal animals and birds are placed on the treetops
There are detailed explanations for each animal, such as the large-mouthed bird from the tropical rainforest, the snowy owl from the northern taiga forest, and the unique bird species in the Qinling Mountains of my country. The most beautiful bird-the red-bellied golden pheasant. We can gain a lot of extracurricular knowledge here, so we stayed for half an hour unknowingly.
Children need to be in such an environment to become interested in natural knowledge and actively absorb it. Normally, they can't sit still reading, but at this time they play with gusto. Boys generally do not actively learn, and parents have to create an environment for them.
This is the larger-mouthed bird from South America. Unlike another large-mouthed hornbill, it does not have a sound generator on its nose.
The most beautiful red-bellied golden pheasant, which lives in the Qinling Mountains, has been hunted and its number has dropped sharply
Arriving at the second level, there are reptiles and amphibians below the tree trunk. There is also a snake skull specimen to show children how close the snake's mouth is and how the bones work.
King cobra, the king of snakes, feeds on other snakes. The king cobra has anti-poison serum in its body. Therefore, when other poisonous snakes bite the king cobra, the king cobra usually stays safe and sound. Therefore, the king cobra is also called a "snake killer."
The layer where the roots are located are insect specimens, dozens of butterflies, including a few dead leaf butterflies that I just learned about in nature class. Now that I see the real objects, I can be considered integrated, so the Science and Technology Museum still has to bring more children.
When the dead leaf butterfly is hunted by birds and is in danger, it will fly in an irregular and chaotic manner, quickly fall between the plant leaves, and then quickly close its wings and stay still. At this time, the butterfly reveals the pattern on the outer side of its wings, which looks like a dried dead leaf. In a completely mimicry camouflage form, birds are usually unable to detect them.
The third thing not to miss is the "Magnetoelectric Stage". There are three to four performances a day. When you come in, you can pay attention to the schedule. When the performance is approaching, there will also be broadcasts in the exhibition hall.
After a popular science short film, our electromagnetic experiments began. The first display was the discharge of a Tesla coil. This was Tesla's invention. The voltage transmission through the coil gradually increased, and finally formed on the pressure equalizing cover. A similar horn shaped arc.
The second display item is the magical electrostatic generator and Faraday cage. The audience stands on the equalizing cover. Current flows through her body and collects in her hair. The same charges repel each other, and the hair will stand up, forming an angry hair. The effect of the crown. When the Faraday cage is closed, all static electricity will be blocked and the hair will return to normal.
The principle of Faraday cage is applied to make protective clothing for high-voltage electric workers. When workers work in a high-voltage environment, the inside of the protective clothing they wear is equipotential, allowing the workers to shield injuries.
The fourth event is called the arc swing. A four-year-old spectator sits on the swing. When pushing the swing, an arc will be drawn between the crossbar and the equalizing cover. However, because the person sitting on the swing and the pressure equalizing cover belong to two different systems, even if there is an arc on the crossbar, the person is safe and sound.
At the end of each display, a corresponding short film will explain it for us. First, the phenomenon will be proposed, and the children will be more interested in understanding the principle. This is a good job.
The most impressive performance in the whole performance was surface discharge. The performer demonstrated four discharge processes for us: corona discharge, glow discharge, arc discharge and sliding flash discharge. A high-voltage of 100,000 volts crackled in the air. The shock was beyond the camera's capture.
The fourth more interesting project is this "Time and Space Tunnel". Since the external tunnel has been rotating, I still feel a little dizzy when passing through the tunnel. The correct way is to lean against the railing and look up at the stars, as if you are in space. It's like shuttling through it, making people mesmerizing.
In addition to the above-mentioned four major projects of "Mirror Maze","Tree and Its Friends","Magnetoelectric Stage" and "Time and Space Tunnel", the "Discovery and Discovery" museum also has many Mini games to explain some daily scientific principles to children. For example, this "Mechanical Ball Journey" project tells the principles of various gears and tracks.
Motion picture turntable, that's how film works
When the rope is hardened, you can adjust the shape of the rope by holding the handle and feel the rope changing POSE wantonly in the air. This is the effect of centrifugal force.
Projection display of three original colors
Diandian especially likes this glow ball. It is filled with low-pressure inert gas. The central metal ball is connected to a high voltage. The voltage is as high as several thousand to 10,000 volts. However, the current is small, as small as less than one milliamp. Because the current is too low, there will be no feeling of electric shock flowing through the human body. Touch your finger on the shell of the glass ball. At this time, because the potential of the finger is relatively low, the inner ball forms a path through the finger to the ground. You can see the arc light coming from the inner ball and hitting the finger. and will move with the movement of your finger.
The second exhibition hall we visited was the "Creation Hall", which showed the use of some new science and technology and transformed it into play facilities where children can experience fun, mainly digital, robots, and cars.
The holographic projection of the "Sea of Flowers" is also a super beautiful place to take photos. The petals constantly change their own colors and shapes. Watch the flowers bloom and fall under your fingertips and take dreamy and beautiful photos. It is super beautiful.
Flowers full of spirituality transform into various animals such as lions, elephants, and giraffes, wandering around the dark garden at night. When you approach and touch these animals, it seems to disturb the spirituality. The animals look back and suddenly stop, and thousands of flowers float away.
Next to [Flower Sea] is [Shadow World], a creative game that children will like very much. Touch the teapot lightly, a puff of green smoke comes out, the lamp god appears, beats the plate, and a puppy jumps after the bones. Come out, grab the cup, and a man-eating flower stretches out again. Each scene is accompanied by a corresponding background music, which is very conscious.
Then there is the artificial intelligence robot series that we are looking forward to, which demonstrates the all-powerful robot. This robot arm is performing a sword dance for us and then accurately inserted back into the sheath.
This is a robot that can play the Rubik's Cube. You twist the Rubik's Cube, pass it in, and press the Start button. The robot automatically recognizes the color pattern and quickly changes it back for you.
The more advanced thing is this robot that plays chess. Although it is not as good as an alpha dog, it is still impossible for ordinary people to play.
Dancing robot
There is also a fun car driving simulation on the second floor of the [Creation Hall]. You can choose the road conditions you want. The driving experience is very close to the real situation, and old drivers have been trained since childhood.
Diandian also likes some interesting Mini games in the Creation Museum very much, allowing you to understand the working principle of some common tools in life.
Great ancient invention display walls, such as the well-known wooden kites, wooden oxen horses, compass carriages, etc., are all introduced.
The third exhibition hall is the "Harmony Pavilion", an experience space full of technology and a sense of the future. The huge genetic double helix structure and the bridging of brain cells allow children to experience immersive human real-life adventures and vivid and rich three-dimensional animations., explore the secrets of the human body and know how to eat well, drink well, and play well. Don't miss projects such as the legend of eggs, big mouth, secrets of breathing, and secrets of digestion.
The first project of the [Harmony Museum] is a trip to the digestive tract. The entrance is this big mouth. This is a landmark of the Xiamen Science and Technology Museum. Children can enter from the mouth, all the way along the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and finally discharged from the large intestine. After such a journey, children are fully familiar with the structure of the digestive tract.
While playing, there is also a detailed explanation. After chewing in the mouth, Diandian will be sent into the esophagus. The esophagus is like a quiet tunnel without squeezing or digestive juice. But it's just the tranquility before the rainstorm. When it enters your stomach, you will feel the strong burning feeling from the "gastric acid", and then the "wave of stomach peristalsis that" hasn't settled down yet another wave "will push you into the small intestine. In the small intestine, which is more than 7 meters long, you have to be decomposed by bile and pancreas, and sometimes nutrients are absorbed. After reaching the large intestine, bacteria such as Escherichia coli will completely decompose you, and you will only turn into smelly feces and be excreted through the rectum. After such an immersive "food trip", you can not only understand healthy food and learn to have a balanced diet, but you can also learn interesting intestinal knowledge such as farting, flatulence, and hiccups.
From ancient apes to Homo sapiens to modern humans, the human skeleton structure has continuously evolved to adapt to modern life. A picture well explains to children how humans came about. They are not God or Nuwa.
There is also a display about the hearing system on the second floor, which is also very vivid and detailed
This device for testing reaction time also appeared on the variety show "Let's Fight". Several stars came to challenge it, and we also tried it out. The difficulty was really great.
Another particularly good project is "The Differences between Men and Women", which vividly and intuitively introduces the different changes, development processes and characteristics that occur in boys and girls during adolescence, and uses health science knowledge to guide children how to successfully spend adolescence. Correctly handle the confusion and questions caused by physical and mental changes. If your child is older and it is difficult to say some embarrassing questions, bring him here to learn from himself.
There is also a very fun 4D pirate ship cabin in the [Harmony Pavilion]. It is built into the cabin of a pirate ship. It is full of mystery and terror. At the beginning, we will close the door and turn off the lights, and put on headphones to experience the kind of darkness that you can't see your fingers. Then a very realistic sound will echo from the headphones, just like a large group of pirates suddenly appearing in this confined space. It is so real that it is scary
Haha, it's really too real. The timid Diandian was so scared that she shed tears
Super big wheel is also a project that was once seen in the variety show "Let's Fight". Everyone can challenge your balance
The fourth exhibition hall is the "Children's Paradise". The children's hall of the park, full of childlike innocence and imagination, is like a Pandora's treasure box. There is endless fun inside. You can witness with your own eyes the flow of raindrops and overcome gravity! There is also a 3D projection that beats the ball until you get lost, and you hit the target with quick eyes and quick hands! There are also small balls in the small ball kingdom that can climb gears, knock wind chimes, and float in the air...
After looking at the raindrops floating upward against gravity for a long time, I don't know the reason. In fact, it uses the principle of visual persistence, and through the cooperation of the flash and raindrop frequency, it creates a visual phenomenon that raindrops are moving from bottom to top.
In addition to the magic rain, the "Children's Paradise" is also composed of four other parts, namely "Jungle Adventure","Exploration of Water Flow","Small Ball Kingdom" and "Skilled Craftsman"
Next to the Magic Rain is the "Little Ball Kingdom". Pick up a colorful ball and place it in any mechanism. Use different power sources to let the ball start its own journey. It can also be used as a shell to launch, or used as a key to starting the mechanism. Children enjoy it.
In the "skilled craftsman", there are many wooden toys here, which can achieve different effects using balance and mathematical principles.
[Children's Paradise Area] The largest part is this "Jungle Adventure" area. The jungle shape protected by green buds, the rolling wooden bridge, and the retractable obstacle wall open the jungle adventure mode in one second. Big trees, sliding slides, wooden bridges and ocean balls are all children's favorites. Each ticket can only be entered once and you can freely choose the time period.
On the edge of "Jungle Adventure" is "Exploring the Mysteries of Water Flow". Playing with water is the nature of children. A pool is used here to explain the principles of water conservancy, and a river channel that is constantly recycled is designed. There are various water guns and valves in the middle for interaction., using water to play music, or changing the direction of water flow yourself, the coolest thing is to use various methods to transport water to high places and fill the reservoir.
To go to the last exhibition hall of the main exhibition hall [Aquarium], you need to pass through a science and technology corridor, step on the "Road to Science", and feel the magical magic of science and technology changing human civilization. The floor of the corridor is engraved with some blue fluorescent characters, including various mathematical, physical, chemical formulas, famous quotes, etc.
There is a miniature polar display area in the "Aquarium", which has penguin models and a large polar stone actually transported back from the Antarctic. Children can be guided to carefully observe the surface of the stone and tell him what kind of natural principles it is. The result. There is also a simulated polar scientific research station here, which truly reproduces the daily work of scientific researchers. According to Miss Sister, the guide, a layer of foam was deliberately placed in the middle of its walls in full accordance with the real polar conditions to increase the room temperature in the station. It can be said that the details are very meticulous.
The special exhibition is "Insects in Jianghu·Rainforest", which is my favorite area. It contains 137 kinds of living animals and 22600 original plants. It is like stepping into the mysterious "Wizard of Oz" here. Children can get closer to nature here. There are not only many plants, but also insects and small animals. Cute little bunny, Internet celebrity Kedada duck, Miyazaki Tsu's chinchilo, groundhog with a sense of joy, super cool lizards, otter in a fight... let alone children, even adults watched it very happily.
Suddenly coming to this "virgin forest" from an exhibition hall full of technology is really full of huge visual impact, and everything looks so fresh. Originally, Diandian thought that she would get goosebumps when she saw these insects, lizards, snakes, spiders, etc., but he showed great enthusiasm. The animals are basically displayed in a closed manner, and the scenery integrated with rainforest plants will not feel awkward or uncomfortable to view. There are also parts that are semi-open or fully open, which makes it convenient for many children to interact with cute rabbits, tease the "big family" groundhog in emoji packs, or catch a glimpse of the "charm" of Wang Sicong's similar Internet celebrity duck.
Although there is an extra fee here, it is still quite suitable for taking children to see it. Nowadays, children in the city have too few opportunities to come into contact with natural creatures. Unlike our childhood, we can walk around the fields to catch dragonflies, dig earthworms, and fish ~~ Playing and playing.
The last project at the Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is "Flying Over the Theater". There is a 4D movie lasting about 20 minutes that takes us back to the Jurassic era where everything grew violently.
I stayed at the Xiamen Science and Technology Museum for a whole day until it finally closed before leaving angrily. Diandian also ran back and forth for a day, but didn't feel tired at all. This is the fun brought by science. Because of this Science and Technology Museum, I even have the urge to live in Xiamen, which allows children to bathe in this ocean of knowledge every day. So if you bring your children to Xiamen to play, don't miss this temple of scientific knowledge. The️ next day, there was a volcanic island next to Xiamen. There was a scenic spot called Zhangzhou Volcanic Island about 80 kilometers away from Xiamen's urban area. When I was a graduate student about ten years ago, I thought of going there to see the volcano. After all, China's volcanic resources can be counted on one hand and are in short supply. And this one is by the sea, so the scenery goes without saying. I just didn't expect that when it really arrived, it would have become an Internet celebrity photo resort. I knew there were many people here, but I couldn't help but my wife wanted to come. With the highest instructions, I also wanted to take my children to see the volcano, so I came here in a flash.ˇTransportation: The road conditions for self-driving are not bad. Baidu Gaode can smoothly take you to the entrance of the scenic spot. There is a large-scale paid parking lot at the entrance and a special electric vehicle charging pile. If you are not a self-driving partner, you can choose to charter a car online (250/car), or take public transportation and board the boat from Xiamen No. 1 Passenger Terminal to Zhangzhou Port for 14 yuan. When you arrive at the port, taxi drivers will pick up passengers, and 30 people will be delivered to the entrance of the scenic area.ˇTickets: Because Volcanic Island has become a check-in place for Internet celebrities, there are also several types of tickets. The basic ticket for Volcano Island is 60 yuan (it is expected that the price will rise soon). Except for the "Monument Valley", you can visit all other facilities, including "Rainbow Mountain" and "Bubble House". The electric ticket is 30 yuan, and the Volcanic Island is still relatively large. If you are not a walking person, I recommend you buy it. [Monument Valley] Tickets are 100 yuan. You can see the appearance without buying a ticket. After buying a ticket, the main reason is to go in and take photos. Playing️ order: After checking in from the door, get on the battery car and take it to the first stop [Infinite Pool]. Then along the coastline, you will queue up in front of various props to take photos. You will experience [Little Blue Car],[Bird's Nest No. 1],[Glass Cradle],[Hot Air Balloon],[Bird's Nest No. 2],[Picture Frame],[Road Signs],[Big Ring],[Lighthouse], and [Seaside Slide] all the way to [Monument Valley]. After taking pictures, you can go down the seaside plank road and go to [Volcanic Lava Beach]. After returning the original road, get on the battery cart and come to the [Bubble House]. After passing through the [Bubble House], you will find the [Rainbow Mountain]. After taking pictures, you can take the battery cart and return to the entrance of the scenic area. It is basically such a circular circular ring line. The entire tour duration depends on the degree of photo entanglement and the queuing time. It is between 4-8 hours. There are bubble houses for accommodation in the scenic area (about 1,000 yuan), so tourists will not be driven away after closing the museum. Everyone can walk out after taking pictures slowly.ˇClothing suggestions: Since the colors of various backgrounds here are relatively bright, it is recommended that you wear a white skirt to suit you better. It is also best to bring some props such as hats, shawls, umbrellas, and sunglasses.

A colorful road sign. I took a look at the cities above. I still felt a little bloated in my heart.
Big ring, in fact, each prop has many composition methods
Lighthouse
Next to the lighthouse is the "Monument Valley" that imitates Spain. It is quite large. The pink one is quite beautiful on the beach. It is extremely similar to the original version, but it also has its own innovations.
The original Monument Valley is located in the Spanish town of Calpe with a white coast and giant rocks. It was designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill in 1968 and officially completed in 1973. Its dreamy and fresh style has attracted people from all over the world to come and watch it. The INS has become so popular that tickets have been sold for 1000 euros. In this way, this one in Xiamen is very conscientious.
The huge building is magical and magnificent. The pure pink and blue sea and sky line form a suffocating style map. The traditional Arabic elements are matched with the extremely modern overall design. The interior is scattered and is like a maze of fascinating, so it attracts many young people to come here to take photos.
It can be said to be a scene step by step. Different compositions can create different beauty. I suggest you reserve at least two hours.
If you can choose a time, I also suggest you choose a sunny day. The photos will make it easier to show a high-level feeling. Sunshine is a rare thing on the day we came, so it will be too gray when taken.
There are small surprises hidden in every corridor or corner. I admire the talent of the original designer.
Huge maze can be photographed across the bridge
The interior is like a huge architectural maze. The spiral staircase and more than 50 irregular architectural cubes form a visual difference like Monument Valley, which is why many Internet celebrities favor it here.
After filming Monument Valley, if you take your children and are interested in nature, you can go down the plank road to the beach, which takes about 7 or 8 minutes.
You can personally step on the beach formed by volcanic lava solidified tens of thousands of years ago
After watching it, come back from the cliff, get on the bus at the Monument Valley Stop, and continue to come to Bubble House and Rainbow Mountain
Bubble House is a small house with various painted paintings, each with a different theme. Accommodation can be booked online, but the price is really not much cost-effective. Maybe the only advantage of living here is that when there are few people in the morning, you can dominate the photo spot, so there are not so many people lining up.
ˇOn the third day, we went to see Yongding and Nanjing County, which are about two and a half hours 'drive from Xiamen, which are the hometown of our Chinese Hakka earth buildings. Between the rolling mountains and mountains, there are round and square earth buildings, which are unique scenery in the world. Film and television programs such as "Yunshui Rumors","Going to Nanyang","Big Fish Begonia", and "Where Are We Going, Dad" also give Tulou some different feelings. If you go to Xiamen, it is worth taking a day or two to take your children and the elderly to go to the mountains to find fun. However, there are hundreds of tulou, which makes it easy for visual fatigue. How to choose the one that is most worth visiting? Let me tell you in detail that the first thing you need to do is choose the most recommended way to go-self-driving: The daily rental price of affordable models on major car rental platforms is about 150 yuan, including round-trip fuel consumption of 300 yuan. If a car seats 4 people, the average cost per person is about 150 yuan/two days. This is the most free way. Choose Tulou scenic spots and stay times according to your preferences, which is especially suitable for family travel. Large car rental companies can pick up and return cars at Xiamen Airport, which is very convenient, and the road conditions from Xiamen to Yongding and Nanjing County are good. Picking up the car and entering the navigation, whether it is Baidu or Gaode, we can accurately take us to our destination without any worries at all. The most convenient thing--- It is not recommended to participate in a one-day trip to cheap tulou in Xiamen, which will inevitably trap you into shopping spots and have a very poor experience. Secondly, choose Tulou attractions
1. As can be seen from the picture above, Yunshui ballad, Gaobei, Tian Luokeng and Hongkeng are the four most famous tulou, but they also affect the experience because of their serious commercialization. There are many tourists, there are traces of post-processing in the tulou, and shops in the tulou are everywhere. Sales, and so on, these aspects have a great impact on the tourist experience. 2. Yunshui ballad is popular because of the TV series of the same name, which is better than the natural scenery, luxuriant banyan trees, clear streams and earth buildings scattered on both sides, which makes people linger. It is very suitable for hanging out, taking pictures, drinking tea and watching the scenery. Gaobei has the largest Tulou Chengqi Building (the source of the idea of Big Fish Begonia), Tian Luokeng has four dishes and one soup, and Hongkeng has Tulou Prince Zhen Cheng Lou (known as the most exquisite Tulou). 3. Hekeng and Chuxi are highly recommended. With a low degree of commercialization and a small number of tourists, they are the best scenic spots for looking for authentic tulou, quiet and peaceful, with picturesque scenery. Among them, the types of tulou in Hekeng are also the most diverse. Among the 45 tulou in Fujian, which are included in the World Heritage site, Hekeng occupies 15 of them, which has the largest number. 4. The most beautiful view of the tulou is overlooking. There are two scenic spots overlooking the viewing platform: Tian Luokeng and Hekeng. Tian Luokeng is four dishes and one soup, and Hekeng is the Big Dipper. Tian Luokeng is famous, there are many tourists, and the tickets are expensive; the river pit is quiet, non-commercial, and the tickets are cheap. 5. from the point of view of the distance and the level of experience, the famous Tulou with an undeveloped Tulou is the best combination, which can not only see the grandeur of the famous Tulou, but also feel the truest taste of the Tulou. According to the above, according to the beauty and experience of the scenic spot, the best recommendation is Yunshui ballad + river pit. If you want to enrich a little more, you can add Tian Luokeng or Chuxi. However, the price of the scenic spot is a factor worth considering. ★ each scenic spot ticket fee
★ Yunshui ballad 90 yuan / Rentian Luokeng Tulou 100yuan / person + 15 yuan / person Chehekeng Tulou 50 yuan / person (double Dipper Seven Star) Gaobei Tulou 50 yuan / person, Chengqi Building (Tulou King) Hongkeng Tulou 90 yuan / person, Zhen Chenglou (Prince of Tulou) Chuxi Tulou 60 yuan / person (Missile launch Base) PS: there are discounted tickets for sale in Ctrip. Some can buy the same day to use the final itinerary with the group tour or charter car, the itinerary is basically locked, there is no more to say here, if it is self-driving, it is recommended to arrange two days. On the first day, I left Xiamen in the morning and arrived at the Hekeng Earth Building Group at noon. Seven round or square earth buildings were hidden in this secluded valley. After playing, I went to the Yunshui ballad scenic spot not far away in the afternoon to continue to play. Dinner must taste Nanjing's famous food, salt chicken, and experience Tulou accommodation in the evening. The next day, the morning is the most beautiful time of the cloud and water ballad, the rain and fog is shrouded in the mountains, there are no more visitors by the stream, the whole town seems to have become a place for you to relax, and you are hungry. Go to the noodle shop at Qiaotou to have a bowl of fresh Zhangzhou spiced noodles, full of warmth. At noon, bid farewell to Yunshui ballad and return to Xiamen. If you feel dissatisfied, you can also visit Tian Luokeng on the way back. With a group tour or car charter, the itinerary is basically locked, so there is no more to say here.

★ Today's itinerary: Xiamen--Zhangzhou---Nanjing County ★ Transportation: Car rental ★ Accommodation: Yunshuiyao Shuiyunju ★ Attractions: Hekeng Tulou, Yunshuiyao ★ Food: Zhangzhou salt-roasted chicken, gold and silver ★ Today's overview: I set off from Xiamen in the morning and arrived at Hekeng Tulou Group at noon. Seven round or square Tulou buildings are hidden among this secluded valley. After playing, I went to the Yunshuiyao Scenic Area not far away in the afternoon to continue visiting. I tasted Nanjing's famous delicacy-Salt Chicken, which is really soft, glutinous and delicious, and it is so lovable. This is probably the best chicken I have ever eaten this year. I will experience accommodation in Tulou at night. About Hekeng Tulou Hundreds of years ago, Hekeng's ancestors built seven square tulou in this valley. As the people of the tribe multiplied, later generations gradually built seven round tulou interspersed between the square buildings, overlooking Hekeng from a high place. The seven square buildings and seven round buildings are connected to two Big Dipper Stars respectively.★ Represents Tulou ★: Yuchang Building, Shengqing Building, Nanxun Building ★ How to visit the Hekeng Tulou Group ★: Parking at the notice of the observation deck at the entrance of the village, and spend 10 minutes on the observation deck to overlook the Big Dipper. Then walk down the mountain to Hekeng, stroll along the fields, and admire the strangeness of the square and round buildings, as well as the rich atmosphere of life of this earthen building that has not been severely developed. For example, the building that must not be ignored is the deepest part of the valley. Square building: Shengqing Building, this is the oldest earthen building here, a typical Hakka "Cuo Bao Building" architectural form. The ancestral courtyard in the atrium is covered with faint moss. The nomination of "Huaiting" makes people have many imaginations and yearning. There is also Nanxun Tower, which is the only pentagon shape among all the tulou buildings.★ Advantages of Hekeng Tulou Line ★: The original ecological village still has a strong atmosphere of life.★ Tickets ★: 50 yuan/person (when it comes to eating inside, tickets are free) ★ Recommended tour time ★: 1.5-2 hours
After breakfast in the morning, I drove straight to Hekeng Tulou in Nanjing County, Zhangzhou City. It was stormy and rainy. Fortunately, the road conditions were good. About two and a half hours, we arrived at this small town hidden in the secluded valley. The moment we climbed onto the observation deck, our eyes suddenly became clear. The round or square tulou were scattered among the green valleys like black pearls. They were left behind and independent. This is the Taoyuan where I looked forward to when I fled the city.
Entering the river pit, it is the rice transplanting season. Green spring seedlings cover the house like a carpet. The fresh air after intermittent rain washing sweeps away the tiredness of thousands of miles away, holding the children's hand step by step towards spring
This is the Yuchang Building where a group of star children stayed in in "Where Are We Going, Dad 3". The flashy has disappeared and it has returned to tranquility. A few ducks and geese are leisurely taking strides along the gravel road. We have become the only tourists in the village. The child broke free from my hand and ran towards the goose he had just met
The simple picture suddenly has a little more childlike fun. Although it is not as noisy as an amusement park here, I hope you can enjoy the wild fun here.
The child didn't run two steps when the rain started pattering again. We carried Diandian, who had failed to chase geese, and ran into the round Yuchang Building to avoid the rain. Spring Festival couplets were posted on the door. The child helped the old man peel broad beans, and the hens on the ground waited to fall accidentally.
The old man smiled and asked us to sit down. My father lit a celestial gate for him, and then he spent the boring time on rainy days with chatting from all over the world. The rain dropped a little, and the old man went to the kitchen with a dustpan full of beans. He looked back at us again. There was a sense of tranquility in his eyes. Perhaps it was the reunion and beautiful trip of our family, which made him miss his son
In addition to Yuchang Building, Hekeng also has 14 earthen buildings, including Yuxing Building, Shengqing Building, Yonggui Building, Nanxun Building, Yuchang Building, Xiaochun Building, and Yongqing Building, which are like a double big dipper, guarding this peaceful mountain village.
Among the fourteen buildings, seven are included in the World Cultural Heritage Site. If it were not for the rain, I would have liked to visit those world heritage sites one by one. Perhaps in two years, the simplicity and tranquility here would no longer exist.
The dark clouds stopped in the mountains, and the rain had no consciousness of stopping. We rushed here and hurried to bid farewell to Hekeng. In fact, we had a trace of regret in our hearts. About the Yunshui Rhythm, a thousand-year-old road flowing along the river, led the entire riverside town, and also led two world heritage tulou buildings. The stream was gurgling. Under the waterwheel and the big banyan tree, bamboo tables and bamboo chairs and clear tea were fragrant. This was the most poetic Tulou Township.★ Represents Tulou ★: Huaiyuan Tower, Hegui Tower ★ Recommended visit process ★: Enter the Yunshuiyao Scenic Area from the ticket checking office (at the bottom of the picture below). The first thing you will reach along the road is the tallest square Tulou and Gulou. After visiting, follow the path to the stream. Walking along the stream through the Chenghuang Theater and walking along the stream will be the big banyan trees and waterwheels that often appear in the TV series "Yunshuiyao". The bamboo tables and bamboo chairs smell the fragrance of tea. After sitting for a while, you continue to walk forward and you will arrive at Huaiyuan Tower. This is a double-ring earthen building. It is highly recommended for everyone to stay here for one night, because the most suitable time to visit Yunshuiyao is early morning or dusk.★ Distance ★: Entrance of the scenic area--400 meters--Hegui Tower--400 meters--Chenghuang Theater (Folk Culture Department shown below)--700 meters--Waterwheel Big Banyan Tree--800 meters--Huaiyuan Tower ★ Advantages of the Yunshui Ballad Line ★: This is the most romantic tulou, which is relatively easy to visit, and most of the scenic areas are flat roads.★ Disadvantages of the Yunshui Rumble Line ★: Since most tourists are concentrated on a narrow thousand-year-old road, many small merchants and hawkers gather, which is a little noisy.★ Ticket ★: 90 yuan/person, recommended tour time: 2-4 hours
The original name of "Yunshui Ballad" was Jianjiao Village, indicating that this was a place where Jane's family lived together. In this wild and magical land, Hakka people and Minnan people continue to grow in constant confrontation, friction and integration, and Hakka and Minnan dialect have become popular dialects. People work hard and reproduce, and time flows by like running water. It was not until the arrival of the TV series "Yunshui Ballad" that opened up the hustle and bustle of Jianjiao Village. Unlike other Tulou villages, this place has innate unique natural resources, and the beautiful mountains and rivers make Yunshui Ballad more elegant.
After verifying the purchased tickets at the entrance of the village, we drove our car to Hegui Building
The imposing Hegui Building is the tallest square earthen building in Fujian. It was built in the 10th year of Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. The owner of the house is Jian Ci Ping, a Jinshi during the Yongzheng period. To this day, the 140 rooms on the fifth floor are all descendants of Jian's family. After more than 200 years, this earth-rammed house is still as strong as new.
The children were full of curiosity about houses with this structure. After entering, they began to explore house by house, running up and down the stairs. The villagers didn't mind, and I didn't bother chasing them. In such a simple small village, I was not worried at all about the safety of my children. When I came back, I had a lollipop in my hand. I didn't know which sister I cheated it from.
Most of the tulou have a shrine in the middle, which is dedicated to Confucius, the literary god, or Guan Yu, the Martial Saint. The Hegui Building is no exception. This Hegui Building built by Jian Ci Pinggong is of course used to worship the Sage of Confucius, hoping that future generations can be named like him.
Coming out of Hegui Tower, you can go down the path to the river, and the scenery suddenly becomes beautiful. Walking down the stream, you will soon see a City God Stage. During the off-season, Yunshuiyao will still invite a theater troupe to make a fuss, which is what these left-behind elderly people are looking forward to for for a year.
Continue down and cross the bridge, you will find the famous big banyan tree and waterwheel. The strong sense of countryside flows along the river and flows into the hearts of everyone and tourists.
Perhaps due to the weather, Yunshuiyao is not crowded as other strategies say, and I don't experience much commercial atmosphere. The clouds and mist in the mountains, the rushing streams, and the big banyan tree that blocks the sky and the sun all make me feel comfortable. Dad said that there was a river and a tree in the hometown where he and his mother met. He often waited for her in the tree, and she would come with hot corn cakes. An educated youth married a landlord's daughter and had me.
Now, there are grandchildren
The boss checked in for us and drove to the end of the village to have a wedding banquet, leaving a huge courtyard for us
Standing in the corridor on the second floor, I felt secretly happy. I had longed for this feeling of seclusion and living alone for a long time. Not to mention that the boss checked in for us in this world-famous tulou and drove to the end of the village to have a wedding wine, leaving a huge courtyard for us.
However, the room rate of Shuiyunju is really much more expensive than the other tulou inns in Yunshuiyao, but it is worth it in exchange for more space and better hygiene.
I flew a plane at the door and looked at the terrain around the Tulou. Shuiyunju was already on the eastern edge of Yunshuiyao, behind which was a tea garden and rice fields. If it had not been for the rain that caused the mud, I would really want to take a step and go wild in the mountains and rivers.
Suppressing this wild heart, I still followed the rules and followed the scenic trail to find Huaiyuan Building, another world heritage building in Yunshuiyao. Behind a blooming lotus garden, I found this magnificent old house.
It is worthy of being a world heritage. It is more than three circles larger than the Shuiyunju where we live. Time has carved wrinkles on the earthen walls. The feeling of simplicity and vicissitudes can most unite people's eyes. The trip to the earthen building eight years ago can only watch the excitement, but this time, it seems that we can understand the traces of the years better.

The trip to the earthen building eight years ago can only watch the excitement, but this time, it seems that we can understand the traces of the years better.
Huaiyuan Tower was built during the Xuantong Period in 1909 and has a diameter of 38 meters. It is not the size of a tulou, but it is an exquisite and elegant upper and lower hall building with a "Si Shi". There is a Eight Trigrams painted on top of the gate, and below the Eight Trigrams are the three big characters "Huaiyuan Tower". The name of Huaiyuan Tower has two meanings: one is that the owner comes from the Jian family in Huaiyang, Hebei Province, and the other is to warn the descendants of Jian's family to cherish the great ambition of Huaiyuan. There is a couplet on both sides: "Huai Yide Dun cultivated here with his heritage and followed the teachings of his ancestors. He cultivated humanity through his spiritual beauty while the mountains are near and the water."
Don't think that just because you are in the countryside, you subconsciously feel that there is a lack of cultural literacy here. At that time, these were built by famous local gentry back in their hometown. Every brick and tile has a meaning, and those Chinese traditions that have been forgotten by time are sealed up here. Brick by brick.
After coming out of Huaiyuan Tower, I slowly walked back to the big waterwheel. The sky was getting dark. My father said he wanted to sit here and listen to the sound of the wind blowing against the banyan tree. I know that he must miss my mother a little.
According to the tradition of these years, we must eat chicken at night, so we were lucky enough to find this creek fish and salt chicken restaurant on our way home. This is the most popular restaurant in Yunshuiyao Town. The specialties are Zhangzhou salt-roasted chicken and fried small river shrimp. The price of chicken is a bit prohibitive, 100 yuan each (Most salt chickens in Zhangzhou City are 30 yuan each), but the aroma of meat that fills the streets and alleys can really make people temporarily forget the fact that we were originally poor people, so we sat down very heroically and started eating chicken.
The chicken is prepared in advance and is limited every day. According to the boss, it is a local free-range chicken of about 4 kilograms. The emphasis is that the meat is smooth and tender. After the salt is stored, it is steamed in the pan for three hours. After taking out of the pan, chopsticks can separate the chicken with gentle force, ensuring that you can regain the feeling of eating chicken in large gulps when you were a child. There is no doubt that this is the best chicken I have eaten in the past six months.
In addition to chicken, salt-and-pepper river shrimp is also a must-order. It is crispy and delicious and is extremely good with rice. The price is 30 yuan.
Garlic sweet potato leaves Garlic sweet potato leaves
Another local food in Zhangzhou-Jinbao Silver, uses glutinous rice as dough and is wrapped in tofu and roasted meat. The taste is also a surprise for the first time.
At the end of the bill, four adults and one child spent 179 yuan. Although the price of chicken was high, the average person looked very cute after that. In this small town in Mindong, the accommodation and food were satisfactory.
On️ the fourth day, Yunshuiyao--Xiamen-Shapowei--Zeng Cuo 'an ★ Today's itinerary: Yunshuiyao--Xiamen--Shapowei--Zeng Cuo' an ★ Transportation: Car rental ★ Accommodation: Xiamen B & B ★ Attractions: Yunshuiyao, Shapowei, Zeng Cuo 'an ★ Today's food: Zhangzhou braised noodles, Guankou ginger duck ★ Today's overview: The morning is the most beautiful time for the clouds and rivers. Rain and fog are lingering in the mountains, and there are no more disturbing tourists beside the stream. The whole town seems to have become a place for you to relax physically and mentally. When you are hungry, go to the noodle shop at the bridge. Come to a bowl of delicious Zhangzhou braised noodles, full of warmth. At noon, I bid farewell to Yunshui Rumors and returned to Xiamen to continue eating and sightseeing at Shapowei and Zengcuo 'an.
The rain almost stopped the moment I opened the window. The child opened his eyes and looked at me: Dad, are you going to get up? I nodded and he obediently dressed himself. I knew that the morning air in the countryside was the most important thing to live up to, so I took my children back to the big banyan tree. The smoke curling in the mountains in the distance made the scenery more atmospheric, and gradually I felt a little reluctant to leave the clouds. The idea of ballad
But for children, not being able to go into the water to play is ultimately missing an ultimate pleasure (PS: This small river in Yunshuiyao was originally very suitable for children to play in the water, but these days, the river water has become flooded due to heavy rains)
After the wind and rain disappeared, the villagers took the vegetables freshly cut in the morning to the market. They loved this atmosphere of life and couldn't help but take their children along the main street.
When I walked until I was hungry, I remembered the aroma of noodles I smelled when I passed by the bridge. The store sold Zhangzhou braised noodles. After the noodles were cooked, they were sprinkled with brine, dried beans, marinated eggs and meat. It tasted delicious.
It is a big bowl full of local people. Shapowei Shapowei is a shelter for the old Xiamen Port and a microcosm of the life of the fishermen in old Xiamen. Not only does it have rich historical heritage, but it is also a new tourist destination in Xiamen now. There are mottled old stone roads, rusty iron rings on the bank, brand new Spring Festival couplets are still posted on the dilapidated door edges, and occasionally a few egrets fly by with their wings, chasing children eating ice cream. There is no summer at the end of the sand slope. The tranquility in the downtown area is old but not decadent.
Follow Minzu Road south and enter University Road. It is more than 600 meters short and there is a traditional arcade building. Walking through the alley, a fishy sea breeze blew from the safe haven behind it. Here is Shapowei, Xiamen's most living neighborhood.
Here, you can go shopping, go to bars, listen to Live performances, and linger in online celebrity shops; you can also stroll the streets, passing by old-fashioned barber shops and retro thrift shops, and looking for a few original old books in literary and artistic second-hand bookstores... On one hand, online celebrities, on the other hand, tradition, and the fireworks of old Xiamen are hidden in this old neighborhood.
On the bank of Shapowei, many small art shops have been opened recently. No matter whether it is Chinese or Western petty bourgeoisie, you can live here. There are many scenes suitable for taking photos and many delicious small shops. This short street gathers too much excitement.
There is a very popular cafe called Oneday Jolly in Shapowei. This beautiful white house will attract almost everyone's attention in Shapowei. The word "Jolly" is a combination of comfort and pleasure, and it is also the creator's beautiful vision for the space. I hope that interesting people will gather here to integrate material experience and spiritual enjoyment. The overall decoration is also a very popular frigid style nowadays, which reduces the number of colors to a minimum.
The first floor of the cafe is the entrance, and the second floor sells some floral art, women's clothing, handicrafts, design products, and household items similar to Muji.
The third floor is the official cafe
Impressed by the fishing port culture of Shapowei Shelter, Oneday integrated the cabin and cave shapes into the white space. The overall space is neatly arranged, simple and clear, with boats sailing at your feet, and the scenery of the fishing port is fully visible.
Every glass window looks like a colorful and flowing painting, which is in sharp contrast to the white and simple space.
In fact, the most beautiful part of Oneday is the rooms, but the quantity is small and difficult to book, and the price is also alarmingly high
The undulating spiral staircase connecting the 3F to the rooftop winds up like a gentle wave to reach the apex of the building, but unfortunately, the rooftop space is generally closed to customers.
After talking about Oneday Jolly's environment, let's talk about delicious food. Our family of three ordered two snacks and two lattes. The taste was reasonable, but the presentation and the appearance of the food were very surprising.
Another popular Internet celebrity store in Shapowei is called Weird Woo Monster Store. The main business is a monster ice cream and egg pudding. It has a three-story building. The price of desserts is not cheap, and the per capita consumption is about 50.

Zeng Cuo 'an's gourmet collection Zeng Cuo' an became a dock for Xiamen merchant ships during the Ming Dynasty. The coming and going merchants gradually made the place prosperous. Due to its wealth, it was often harassed by Japanese pirates. During the Qing Dynasty, in order to prevent Japanese pirates, it was built here. The Hulishan Battery was built here, and the Krupp cannon preserved to this day is the largest in the world. Now, the influx of many young designers has made this ancient fishing village more design, and Zeng Cuo 'an, with beautiful food and beautiful scenery, has begun to be reborn.
People running docks will worship Goddess Mazu, and the Mazu Temple is also a standard feature in every fishing village in southern Fujian. Although the surrounding buildings are vast, this Mazu Temple still stands tall and gradually becomes Zeng Cuo 'an's symbol on the road around the sea.
Zengcuo 'an, which is close to the sea, is also a good place to watch the sunset. He holds his girlfriend's small hand, plays the sea breeze romantically, watches the sunset, gently tells love words in her ear, and promises the future. When the lights are on, it will be just time to take her into the village to mop up some delicious food. Only when she is full can she have the strength to continue a deeper exchange of life.
It's hard to keep people busy with such delicious food and beauty. You just want to sit quietly and watch the tide rise and fall. I think this is the romantic meaning of leisurely life in Xiamen
Crossing a overpass from the seaside is the gate of Zengcuo 'an. An old banyan tree at the door witnesses the change of time and also watches the tourists coming and going
Under the old banyan tree is the Huhu Palace, which also serves the Southern Fujian Emperor Baosheng and Matsu Lin Monang. They protected the safe operation of the fishermen at sea and brought back rich fishery products.
After eating seafood, if you are still hungry, you can also enter the fishermen's alleys in Zengcuo 'an. A variety of snacks are displayed on both sides, tempting your taste buds.

Carefully making sliced duck like a craft, this focus ensures good taste
Compared with Zhongshan Road, Zeng Cuo 'an has more quack of martial arts and is more suitable for young people to visit. A store can gain a full sense of happiness for spending a few yuan.

In the afternoon, we visited Nanputuo Temple and Xiamen University. In the evening, we went to Zengcuo 'an to continue enjoying delicious food. About Xiamen's main island After returning to Xiamen from Tulou, you can taste delicious food on Xiamen's main island the next day, board Gulangyu on the third day, return to Xiamen's main island to continue playing on the fourth day, and return home on the fifth day. In addition to the prestigious Xiamen University, Nanputuo Temple and Huandao Road, Xiamen's main island also has three major food gathering places-Bashi, Zengcuo 'an and Zhongshan Road. Next, I will introduce you one by one.
The following picture is a food map of Xiamen's main island. You can see that in addition to Silisha Tea Noodles, other Xiamen time-honored brands are basically concentrated in Bashi, Zhongshan Road and Zengcuo 'an.
Siming District-Zeng Cuoan: Huang Shengji Pork Derry, Shihaipu, Linjia Southern Fujian Cuisine Siming District-Sili: Sili Shacha Noodles Siming District-Bashi, Zhongshan Road: Xinxia Shrimp Noodles, Lianhuan Sea Oyster Pancake, Huang Zehe Peanut Soup, Ajizai Cake Shop, Yuehuashi Tea Noodles, 1980 Roasted Meat Rice Dumplings, Shao Ziya Fish Ball Jimei District-Guankou: Guankou Ginger Mother Duck Siming District-Sili: Sili Shacha Noodles
There are many ramen restaurants in Lanzhou, but there is Shacha Noodles in Xiamen. Before coming to Xiamen, I read various recommendations from various tourism and food websites and found the ones that local people admire most. Sili Shacha Noodles is praised by many Xiamen locals. People praise it as the best Shacha Noodles in Xiamen, so it was also listed as the first one to try.
Sili is not an area where tourists gather, and it seems to be more lively. Many locals habitually come to this store to serve a bowl of hot shacha noodles after the market arrives early, and use the aroma of shacha paste to enrich the spirit of the day.
Each Shacha noodle restaurant has its own Shacha sauce formula, which is strong or light, sweet or spicy. The Shacha sauce in Sili is more intense and powerful. The main ingredients are dried shrimp, dried fish, onions, garlic, and ginger., stir-fried with Shacha powder.
The shacha paste in the bowl is waiting for the boiling alkali water in the pan. Pick it up and mix well, then sprinkle with fish balls, prawns, squid, liver and other toppings to make a mouth-watering feast.
Fish balls and squid noodles, 17 yuan, extremely fresh soup
Pig's knuckle noodles, 13 yuan
Pig liver and squid noodles, 17 yuan. Finally, after tasting Shacha noodles from three time-honored brands in Xiamen, I felt that the taste of Sili Shacha noodles was stronger, spicy and sweet. If you like heavy flavors like me, please come to Sili. Try it. A bowl of Shacha noodles could not fill the stomach of a foodie. We moved from Sili to Bashi and continued to eat the eight-city food collection of Siming District. Keywords: Sili Shacha noodles, Xinxia shrimp noodles, Ajizai cake shop, Jiawei Zaitian snack shop Xiamen Eighth Market, referred to as "Eight Cities." This is the only old neighborhood in old Xiamen that remains intact, and it is also the oldest existing vegetable market in the city. Wherever there is a vegetable market, there is delicious food. Many old shops still retain the same appearance as they were more than 20 years ago, allowing you to find Xiamen's most authentic snacks.
There are not as many surging crowds here as Zhongshan Street next door. We can slowly appreciate this Xiamen arcade, which is used for commercial and residential purposes. Downstairs is our own shop, and upstairs is the residence of a large family. It has been passed down from generation to generation. The mottled walls without decoration are very much like an old man with a story, making people feel close to the keywords: Sili Sha Tea No., Xinxia Shrimp No., Ajizai Cake Shop, Jiaweitian Snack Shop Xiamen Eighth Market, referred to as "Eight Cities". This is the only old neighborhood in old Xiamen that remains intact, and it is also the oldest existing vegetable market in the city. Wherever there is a vegetable market, there is delicious food. Many old shops still retain the same appearance as they were more than 20 years ago, allowing you to find Xiamen's most authentic snacks.
Deep in the arcade is the Eighth Market. Various businesses are booming. Not only local people will patronize, but tourists will also join in.
Fruits, seafood, mountain products, and vegetables decorate the market with colorful colors, and various shouts sound from time to time. I enjoy this long-lost atmosphere of life. Deep in the arcade, is the eighth market. Various businesses are doing well. Not only local people will visit, but tourists will also join in.
The child also watched all this curiously. For him, this might be a bigger and more interesting supermarket
There are all kinds of street snacks on the edge of the vegetable market. Every restaurant can make people crave water just by looking at the sign, but the belly space is limited. What we are looking for is another old brand Shacha Noodles.
What I am looking for is this month's Warsaw tea noodle shop, which is mentioned in almost every Xiamen strategy. It is an inconspicuous shop and a small hall. It has maintained its current appearance for more than 30 years. It is different from those who blindly expand to make money, which makes me feel at ease.
The noodle cooking stall is right at the door, and you can choose from a variety of toppings. There are two sets of 15 yuan and 21 yuan sets that can be freely matched
It was not a normal meal. There were not many people in the restaurant. Those who came to eat were old neighbors. They ordered a bowl of 15 Shacha noodles and added a meat rice dumpling.
The noodles were served quickly. They were indeed cooked by the elderly. The taste was very stable and the noodles were soft and glutinous. Compared with the Sili Shacha noodles, the Yuehua noodles highlighted the original flavor of the meat and noodles. The flavor of the Shacha paste was not strong. It may not attract more young people to like it. PS: Later, after communicating with many local people in Xiamen, I learned that Yuehua's rice can better represent the original taste of Shacha noodles. If you want to pursue the word "authentic", you will definitely choose Yuehua. If you want a stronger taste, then Sili's rice may be more suitable.
The Jiawei Zaitian snack bar next to Yuehua is also a time-honored brand with a history of 30 years in Xiamen. It is cheap. You can eat almost all snacks in Xiamen, including braised noodles, roasted meat rice dumplings, bamboo shoots jelly, five-spice, shrimp noodles, duck meat winter noodle soup, onion fruits, fish balls, fried five-spice...
The store still retains the shadow of the supply and marketing cooperative era, with the temperament of a five-point old store. It looks tempting, but we have more store inspection missions today, and the space in our stomach is very precious.
Coming out of the alley and returning to the central area of Bashi City, I saw this Ajizai cake shop opened in 1930
Ajizai Bakery has a total of five floors. On the first floor, several major snacks such as coconut cakes and pineapple cakes are displayed. After tasting them, you can buy them and send them directly to your home.
Above the second floor is a tile-themed cafe. How beautiful the tile-themed are, I even think this can be regarded as an attraction
There are too many small scenes suitable for posing, and it will definitely make your friends dominate the screen.
It is also like a museum of old objects, with various decorations revealing the contemporary atmosphere of this old house
After reading it, I even wanted to dress my new home like this. I just wanted this fashion style.
After coming out of Ajizai, we still have an old shop to visit. This shop is also mainly noodle, which is an old man who has been making shrimp noodles for more than 20 years.
Xinsha shrimp noodles are taken care of by the elderly person alone. The small shop only sells shrimp noodles. Every night, fresh wild dog shrimp will be used to make soup until dawn. The shrimp soup will float with a layer of oily luster. Attractive red color. After the noodles are cooked, put them into the shrimp soup, and paired with lean meat slices, duck throat and shrimp meat. It still tastes smooth and exciting.
The price of a bowl of shrimp noodles is 15 yuan, which is slightly expensive, but the food is really real. I suggest two people try a bowl, because there are several famous time-honored brands waiting for us on Zhongshan Road next door.
Eight Cities at Night
Keywords for a large collection of delicacies on Zhongshan Road: Huang Zehe peanut soup, Shao Ziya fish ball, Lianhuan oyster pan, 1980 roasted meat dumplings, coconut cake, durian crisp
Through this not-so-spacious alley, you can go from Bashi to Zhongshan Road. The traffic of people suddenly increases a lot, and the decoration of the store has become more vibrant. It is worthy of being the most famous food street in Xiamen, with a variety of new cuisine and time-honored brands.
The crowded dim sum shop specializes in coconut cakes and pineapple cakes, attracting the attention of young consumers with online slogans of the new era. Walking from the streets of Zhongshan Road to the end of the street, many beautiful young ladies hold lunch boxes for you to taste for free, and their enthusiastic little eyes hook up with passers-by. Although many of them will eat and run away, she will still smile warmly and say: "Sir, come into the store and have a look. It doesn't matter if you don't buy it. We also have free milk tea." I am particularly satisfied with this sincere attitude. In my opinion, this is no longer Zhongshan Street, but a free food communist street.
The freshly baked coconut cakes are crispy and springy, with coconut fragrance, and are more inviting than beautiful little sisters
After entering the store, my son took a toothpick and began to sweep. I played Tai Chi in response to the young lady's sales promotion and tried to delay the time. Um, son, that plate of pineapple cakes was also good. Eat more, and withdraw when you are full.
When I entered every coconut cake shop, I always had a spirit of perseverance, but sometimes I was caught by their creativity. Just like this Sanwei Crispy Shop, I put cakes into books and eat food can also appear tasteful. In the end, I couldn't help but ask me to pack a few boxes and send them home.
But ha, when I finally got home, I saw the haggard look of the cakes after the long journey. How could I give them? Even my son despised them. Alas, coconut cakes still have to be eaten freshly baked. After ten minutes, they will become soft and tasteless like middle-aged men, not to mention the box of scattered meringue crust after the gini was sent home. (PS: You can refer to the egg tarts that have been in place for three days here)
Every store does its best and takes various routes to package the coconut cakes tall, fresh, and artistic. They are afraid that you will be too lazy to mention them, and they will mail them directly home...
However, for Zhongshan Road, there are not only coconut cakes and pineapple cakes, but also more time-honored brands that need to be introduced. Let's start with the main store of Huangze and Peanut Soup, which was founded in August 1950.
Peanut soup, I once imagined that it should be salty and fragrant, but after ordering it, I found that it was sweet. To be honest, there were not many surprises. Maybe the quality of the time-honored brands will be discounted after they are made into the assembly line. Fortunately, my children still like it, with peanut soup and ordered a fried five-spice and two onion fruits. I feel that these snacks seem to be more delicious than peanut soup.

However, the price is not expensive, 6 yuan a bowl. It's okay to come in and have a bowl when you are tired of shopping on Zhongshan Road.
Price list of Huang Zehe Peanut Soup
The second time-honored brand I patronized was Shao Ziya's tribute meatballs. According to the "Shao's Genealogy" in the store, his grandfather Shao Weikun "started making tribute meatballs" in Jinjiang. By the third generation of Shao Ziya, tribute meatballs flourished in Xiamen. The products have also evolved from a single tribute meatballs at the beginning to more than 20 kinds of products such as shark balls, beef tendon balls, shrimp balls, mushroom balls, inkou balls, and fish and shark balls.
Propaganda reports from various eras are hung on the wall. In the glass kitchen, the chefs beat the meat filling hard, and fish balls of various colors are rolling in the cauldron.
The shop is antique, and the shop also tries its best to exaggerate the atmosphere of the time-honored brand. However, based on past experience, the taste of this chain time-honored brand may not be good, so I only needed a bowl of mixed fish balls, which was a "visit here". The result was a surprise. I love this yellow and white crab seed peach. The outer layer is delicate and elastic. After biting it, the taste of the puree is full of umami. If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of delicious food waiting behind, There must be another bowl of comfort for souls.
Although there are thousands of kinds of delicious food in Xiamen, the only one that can compete with Shacha No. 1 in terms of fame is Sea Oyster Pancake. This Lianhuan Sea Oyster Pancake hidden in Jukou Street of Zhongshan Road is praised by a certain food website ranked first in China as "the best and most authentic Sea Oyster Pancake in Xiamen". Coupled with the words "30-year-old brand","hidden deep alley" and "no branch", I am certainly full of high expectations.
It was indeed through the streets to find the Lianhuan Sea Oyster Pancake hidden in the deep alleys. It was very street and very pyrotechnic. At first glance, it seemed that the taste was definitely not bad. The boss was also enthusiastic. When he saw the guests, he directly dropped what he was doing and led us to find seats.
After looking at the menu, the prices were not expensive, so I ordered oyster frying, meatball soup and pancakes to taste. I sat down, full of expectation, and recalled the first time I ate oyster frying with my daughter-in-law seven years ago in Gulangyu. Good memory
According to the script, the ending of the story should be that we ate to our satisfaction, and we couldn't help but pack a bag and take it back to the hotel for midnight snack. When we paid, we praised the boss for sticking to the deep alley and not opening a branch.
However, this plate of oyster frying really disappointed us. The lack of melted raw flour made the oyster frying lose its soul-crispy, with more eggs and less oysters, and it also made people unable to see the sincerity of the merchants. It is full of the taste of big pot vegetables. Alas, I can only say that maybe we are not "adapted" to Xiamen's food yet
The last time-honored brand on Zhongshan Street is the 1980 Roasted Meat Rice Dumplings. For me, who has loved to eat Minnan Meat Dumplings since I was a child, even though my stomach is 90 percent full now, I definitely don't want to miss it
The newly renovated shop is antique and not crowded. Unlike other crowded time-honored brands on Zhongshan Road, it is more suitable for bringing children here to eat slowly. Five people ordered three rice dumplings and a bowl of pork liver soup.
The meat dumplings are sandwiched with three layers of fragrant and rotten pork belly, as well as mushrooms, chestnuts, egg yolks, dried shrimp, etc., and the taste is very layered. This was the first time the child ate meat dumplings, but it was indeed his biological daughter. They all liked this taste, and he ate a plate of rice dumplings and a bowl of pork liver soup alone
In addition to time-honored brands and coconut cakes, Zhongshan Road also has many other online celebrity shops worth visiting, such as Zhang Sanfeng Milk Tea, Chencan Western-style Tea Shop, Laipi Duck, etc.
nanputuo temple
Strictly speaking, Nanputuo, as a religious place, cannot be regarded as a tourist attraction in the strict sense. However, because it is located in the city center, has a long history, and has free tickets, you can stop here when visiting Xiamen University.
Nanputuo Temple was built in the late Tang Dynasty. Because it was dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva and was south of Putuo Mountain, it was called Nanputuo Temple after the Qing Dynasty. It is the Buddhist center in southeastern China.
Nanputuo Temple is built on the mountains and facing the sea. The main buildings along the central axis are the Tianwang Hall, the Daxiong Hall, the Ledu Hall, the Great Compassion Hall and the Sutra Pavilion. Among them, the Tianwang Hall is located at the front end of the central axis of the temple and the middle of the front hall is dedicated to the smiling Maitreya Buddha. There are four big heavenly kings staring around on both sides. Behind the hall, Weituo Bodhisattva stands with his palms pressed against the pestle.
Behind the Tianwang Hall is the Daxiong Hall, which is the architectural center of the entire temple and has the characteristics of a typical southern Fujian Buddhist Hall. The three sages of Hua Yan are enshrined in the center of the hall, and the three sages of the West are enshrined in the back.
Further behind is the Hall of Great Compassion. This is an octagonal triple eaves. The middle caisson is made of stacked arches. In the center of the hall, the god of Nanputuo, is worshipped, and the other faces are the 48-armed Guanyin, beautiful in shape and diverse in postures. Xiamen University once again reminds that an ID card is required to visit Xiamen University
Coming out from the northwest gate of Nanputuo is the south gate of Xiamen University. This campus, known as the most beautiful campus in China, is very popular among travelers, and the long queue is the best witness.
Xiamen University is open to tourists every day from 12:00 to 14:00 noon and 17:00 to 24:00 p.m., and you need to bring your ID card to visit. It was 4:40 p.m. when we arrived. Because the door was not yet open, there was a long line of about 150 meters at the door. Many "speculators" shouted the slogan "5 yuan per person, no queuing" and actually accepted your money. Money is to drag you to the front of the queue, and then you will be shouted out by the people behind you, so please don't be fooled. In fact, after the door opened at five o'clock, the entry speed was very fast. The 150-meter line only lasted for about 15 minutes, and there was no need for this kind of service at all.
After entering from the South Gate, there are recommended routes on the roadside. Follow the crowd and first you will see the tall Song 'en Building on the right hand side, then the beautiful Furong Lake, a Southeast Asian style science and art center. Continuing forward, you will see Furong Restaurant and Furong Tunnel. Furong Tunnel connects the Furong Garden Student Dormitory and Xiamen University Zengcuo' an Student Apartment. After walking for a while, you can exit the Baicheng School Gate and reach Baicheng Beach.
Song En Building was built with donations from famous Thai alumni of Xiamen University Ding Zhengzeng and Cai Yueshi, and was named "Song En" to celebrate the kindness of her alma mater in rewarding and cultivating her. The building is 21 floors high and has a building area of 21000 square meters. Construction started in June 1998 and completed in April 2001. It is now used as office and teaching rooms for school headquarters and some research institutes.
In front of Song 'en Building is Furong Lake. This is the biggest highlight in Xiamen University. It also dresses up the entire Xiamen University as a park. In such a beautiful environment, if you can't find a girlfriend, you can't blame the country or society.
You see, the girls from Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty have all traveled here, and they really want to be a few years younger.
Many people spend tens of yuan online to buy a set of bachelor's uniforms to get a taste of "graduating" from Xiamen University.
Furong Garden Student Dormitory
Since Furong Restaurant, which is very popular on the Internet, was contracted, the food has become neither delicious nor cost-effective.
Behind the dormitory is the long Furong Tunnel
Various graffiti is the biggest highlight of the tunnel and also promotes the freedom of the university campus.
At a time when the name of the people is at its peak
Coming out of the Baicheng School on the south side of the Furong Tunnel is the famous Baicheng Beach. The reason why Xiamen University was able to defeat the Beiqing and resume diplomatic relations to become the most beautiful university in China is because of its unique advantage of being close to the sea.
Baicheng Beach, which has just experienced a windy season, looks a little bit bumpy, but on sunny days, its appearance is still good. Think about how couples at Xiamen University can walk from Furong Lake to Baicheng Beach with their ID cards and talk about life. Ideal, tacitly waiting until the dormitory door closes. Alas, what a blessing.
Baicheng Beach is connected to the coastal trail around the island
From time to time, I can meet a young couple from Xiamen University

When I first set foot on Gulangyu, dragging boxes and carrying children, the rugged and winding stone road here once again made me miss the baby carriage at home. The child, who refused to walk by himself, was as heavy as a stone at this time, and his arms were sore and numb. I swept away the free and easy journey of self-driving travel in the past few days, but I couldn't say how hard it was. When my wife wanted to call for a car, I stopped it with a look of disgust. At this time, I had to struggle internally and continue walking with a smile on my face.
What was even more fatal was that in order to have a view of dominating the island, I booked the hotel on a hill as high as Righteous Rock. When I walked to the door of the hotel sweaty, I rested for ten minutes before I had the strength to check in, and I even called it washing my lungs first.
The location of the hotel is in the blue-gray four-story building at the bottom right of the picture above. It is considered to be the hotel with the best view in Gulangyu Island. The price is not expensive. The room price of 250-350 is acceptable to most people. In summer, the swimming pool that is empty will also be filled with water, so taking photos is particularly impressive. Of course, you have to accept this rugged mountain road.
It took me about 80 minutes to select this hotel called Qinhai Manor Seaview. It became my favorite because of the beautiful view. I can probably stay in a hotel converted from an old villa at the foot of the mountain for the same price. It may be more antique, but it also depends on personal interest.
The overall style of the hotel is relatively simple and European
The bedroom area is not too spacious, but the toilet is actually big. Haha, maybe I want to create a different atmosphere for the young couples than at home. After all, this is a romantic Qindao. The bedroom area is not too spacious, but the toilet is actually big. Haha, maybe I want to create a different atmosphere for the young couples than at home. After all, this is a romantic Qindao.
There is also a small window in the room that allows you to directly overlook the scenery in the distance. Downstairs is the empty swimming pool. When there is no water, the appearance is a bit touching. Later, I went downstairs and asked the boss when to fill the water. The boss thought for ten seconds and said "the day after tomorrow". This answer is really a bit exquisite. I'm checking out tomorrow! Are you trying to trick me into staying for an extra day?
The two old people still like it very much. The air is fresh and there is no noise at the foot of the mountain. It really feels like a vacation. Not far from the terrace is Gulangyu's famous scenic spot-Riguang Rock
I flew a plane on the terrace and the view was very good, but the weather was not very good
The big banyan tree at the entrance of the hotel
Terrace with direct view of the sea
The swimming pool has been empty all winter
This is a breakfast for one with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine the next day.
After a short rest, we started our tour of Gulangyu Island. As we reached the foot of the mountain, there were obvious numbers of tourists.
The first attraction we passed through was Trinity Church, a Christian Protestant church built in 1934 with red bricks and white roofs. It was named Trinity Church after the doctrine of the trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It was closed on Sunday and was unable to visit it.
shuzhuang garden
As the weather gradually improved, we arrived at Shuzhuang Garden, which we were most looking forward to. This was a private villa built by Taiwanese patriotic businessman Lin Erjia. After the Treaty of Shimonoseki ceded Taiwan to Japan, Lin Erjia's father Lin Weiyuan moved his family back to the mainland and settled in Xiamen. Because he missed the Banqiao Villa in Taiwan's freshwater, he also built a similar scale on Gulangyu Island.
Admission to Shuzhuang Garden is only 30 yuan. This is the most cost-effective tourist attraction on Gulangyu Island. There are not only beautiful Jiangsu and Zhejiang gardens where you can see the mountains and the sea, but also a large-scale piano museum. If you do some homework in advance before coming, this is a great time to show your cultural taste in front of your girlfriend.
Walking into the museum, there is a brief introduction to the Lin family and a small number of indoor displays. The Lin family, who has been doing business for three generations, is still very rich, with various official kiln porcelain and gold jewelry. In 1955, patriotic businessman Lin Erjia donated the entire Shuzhuang Garden to the country
From the first courtyard, which was turned into a museum, there is a large courtyard where you can see the sea. It is called the Tibetan Sea Garden. The main island of Xiamen is opposite the sea.
On one side of the Tibetan Sea Garden is the 44th Bridge, which stretches and twists on the sea, making it very suitable for couples to take photos
When you get down from the other end of the 44th Bridge, you start to enter the Bushan Garden. I have the intention to start climbing the mountain. Fortunately, the mountain is low and there are scenery along the way. After stopping and walking, you will arrive at Tingtaoxuan
Tingtaoxuan used to be the residence of the Lin family. Later, it was converted into a piano museum to house the 30 clavichords donated by collector Mr. Hu Youyi to the Xiamen government (PS: In addition to these 30 pianos, Mr. Hu Youyi also donated more than 20 organs, which are now stored in Bagua Building, Gulangyu)

Girls, do your piano history homework at home, and show off in front of your girlfriend when you get here. Believe me, although your girlfriend won't say anything on the surface, she will definitely add a lot to you in her heart.
I think the most beautiful place in the entire Bushan Garden and even the entire Shuzhuang Garden is this Suzhou garden-like back garden. It uses the mountain to make an extremely exquisite design. Full marks are given in terms of beauty and meaning. It is still better for rich people. Rich people can do whatever they want to build their own homes according to their own ideas.
Coming out of Shuzhuang Garden is the Gangzai Hou Beach we saw on the mountain before. When we first arrived in Xiamen with our wife, we were sitting on this beach, listening to Assan's "Always Quiet" in the moonlight. At that time, there were not many tourists on Gulangyu.
Gangzai Hou Beach is the best quality beach on Gulangyu Island. It is relatively flat and the sand is quite fine, but it is still not comparable to Sanya. After all, Xiamen has a different taste.
This is Meiwazi Beach near Neicuo O Pier. The scenery is slightly worse than that behind Hong Kong. In addition to the famous Shuzhuang Garden, there are also eight other mansions on Gulangyu Island that are worth seeing.
Not far from Shuzhuang Garden is the Dutch Consulate. This two-story building has now been converted into a memorial hall to commemorate Mr. Ma John, who made outstanding contributions to China's sports industry.
Mr. John Ma was born in Gulangyu, Xiamen. He studied in the United States to study physical education. After returning to China, he served as the director of the Physical Education Department of Tsinghua University. Until his death in 1966, he worked at Tsinghua University for 52 years and contributed his life's energy to the sports cause. It also brings physical education classes to every student's daily life.
The memorial hall houses a large number of trophies and awards received by Mr. John Ma. This is an old man who is associated with sports.

Continuing north from the Ma John Memorial Hall, you will pass by a monument with the words "The Legacy of Sanliang". Although this is not a well-known building on Gulangyu Island, when you pass here twice, you will stop in front of this door and be attracted by the title of "Sanliang Legacy". I took this photo with a very casual composition to illustrate my curiosity at the time. As far as I know. Sanrang, there is an allusion about Zhou Taibo (Zhou Taibo), the eldest son of King Tai of Zhou during the Spring and Autumn Period. Because King Tai of Zhou wanted to make Taibo's third brother Ji Li the title of Prince Chu, Zhou Taibo and his second brother Zhong Yong fled. Later, Confucius wrote in The Analects of Confucius. "Tai Bo" says: "Tai Bo can be said to be the most virtuous. Third, he is known for his lack of virtue because the world gives way to the people." This is the origin of the allusions. Confucius regarded this as a virtue. I think it was wise to escape the whirlpool because of political refuge. Giving up the country with a hand is a big concession."
Continuing along the way, you can see a building with two golden melons on top of your head. This is Huang Yomin Villa, located at No. 99 Quanzhou Road, built in 1922. Because there are two "golden melons" on the roof, it is named Jingua Tower. Its owner, Huang Cimin, went to the Philippines to do business when he was young and became rich. In 1922, he returned to Gulangyu to buy the newly built villa for 40,000 silver yuan, and moved his family from Longhai Shimei. It is said that Huang Cimin's children and grandchildren are now spread across more than 20 countries and regions, and they are very prosperous. It can be said to be "endless melons", which confirms the meaning of this Jingua Tower.
The rich rococo style combined with the Chinese top provides a unique beauty
Further north, there is a ramp up the mountain. We are going to visit the Bagua Tower located on the top of the mountain. Like Shuzhuang Garden, it is also the property of the Lin family in Banqiao, Taiwan. We invited the Dutch director of Gulangyu's "Salvation Hospital" to design and build it. It combines Roman style, Byzantine style, Renaissance style and other Western architectural elements, but also takes a Chinese name-Bagua Tower. After being state-owned, it was once the Xiamen City Museum. It is now the organ museum on Gulangyu Island, which houses more than 20 organs donated by Mr. Hu Youyi. The reason why Gulangyu Island is called "Qindao" today is all due to Mr. Hu Youyi's generosity.
As soon as we enter the main building of Bagua Tower, we can see the 6-meter-high Norman Beer organ. This is the piano king on Gulangyu Island. When we visited, the museum invited German engineers to repair this precision music instrument. After two days, you can hear its heavenly sound again. Well, it was a perfect miss.
In addition to this king piano, the museum also houses more than 20 other organs, each with something to watch.
Turning back south from Bagua Tower, I came to my favorite old house in Gulangyu. Huang Xuzhai's four-loomed house-Dafu Di was named after his son Huang Kunshi had worshiped Zhongxian Doctor during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. However, when he arrived, he found that it had been contracted by a tea house, and even the plaque had been replaced. Fortunately, the little lady at the door enthusiastically invited tourists to visit it for free.
The interior has been renovated, but it has changed a lot since the last time. It has a bit more flavor of a tea house, but you can still see some previous displays of the old houses
Not far from Dafu Di is the former site of the Mongolian School, located at No. 6 Anhai Road, built in 1908. It is the site of Mengxuetang, a preschool education institution that accepts and educates preschool children.
The building is a two-story colonial verand-style building with a simple style, facing north and south. There are corridors on both upper and lower floors in the south. It is a neo-Renaissance style corridor with seven consecutive round arches. Lin Qiaozhi, the founder of Chinese obstetrics and gynecology, was born in Gulangyu, once studied in this Mongolian school.
Now this Mongolian school has been transformed into the Pien Tze Huang Museum, telling tourists about Pien Tze Huang's traditional production skills and has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage.
Walking along Anhai Road towards the dock, at the corner of Anhai Road and Drum Road, there is a red building with a uniform style and quite imposing momentum. This is Yangjiayuan, one of the eight mansions in Gulangyu.
This is an old house purchased from the British Presbyterian Church at the foothills of Bijia in Gulangyu Island by brothers Yang Zhimu, an overseas Chinese from the Philippines from Longxi County, Fujian Province, and renovated it. It was expanded into four European-style villas, collectively known as "Yang Jiayuan".
Yangjiayuan has now been converted into an inn and can be booked online.
In addition to the above mentioned, there are many unknown and beautiful houses on Gulangyu, hidden in the streets and alleys, waiting for tourists to stop
Food on Longtou Road
In addition to the old houses on Gulangyu, people also miss the delicious food on Longtou Road. After wandering hungry for so long, it's time to eat recklessly.
As soon as you walk into Longtou Road, you will be attracted by the only mobile stall that exists at the intersection of Santou. This is the century-old "Ye's Ma Ci". It has been passed down for generations. In order to protect this time-honored brand, the Xiamen government has granted Ye's family permission to occupy the road and operate on the streets of Longtou Road. It is also the only one on Longtou Road.
You can smell the strong aroma of sesame seeds around the stall. Unlike other snack bars in Xiamen, this place only accepts cash, 10 yuan for 10 grains, which is not cheap
But after tasting it, I didn't feel as amazing as I expected. Fortunately, the ingredients were real and I tasted the aroma of sesame and glutinous rice.
Next, we will introduce two fish ball shops, one Lin's fish ball (above) and the other Longtou fish ball (below). Each serving costs about 10 yuan
However, the most popular one on Longtou Road is this Shenjia Rice Roll. The queue can often reach thirty to fifty meters away, and the price is also cheap. 10 yuan = Rice Roll + Egg + Meat
But on the whole Longtou Road, I think the most amazing taste is actually the laipi duck, which is not a time-honored brand. The dough is rolled like Peking duck. The duck meat inside is very crispy. A box is also equipped with a duck leg. The price is slightly expensive, 30 yuan per serving. In the blink of an eye, it is still Jay Chou's endorsement. The huge image photo carries the slogan "I cook ducks seriously and make a good duck in the world", and Jay Chou's songs are played on a loop, but the only weird thing is that I couldn't find the three words "Jay Chou" at all. This was too unreasonable. When I came back and checked, I realized that it was a high-quality imitation of Jay Chou. Haha, there are really enough businesses these days.
In addition, there are some fashionable shops on Zhongshan Road, and there are many on Longtou Road, and some are even larger than the ones on Zhongshan Road. When you come to Gulangyu, please make sure to carry out the free tasting to the end.
There is a big sugar cat family near Longtou Road. They rented the entire villa and dressed it up as a childlike children's playground.
Next door is a Japanese-style pomegranate story
Various small shops are decorated with a lot of decorations to attract families with children. Anyway, our naughty children always enter every store and always get candy from the little lady.
On the seaside corner of Longtou Road, there is also Xiamen's Underwater World, but the ticket cost 90 yuan, and there are not many animals on display. I don't know who gave me the courage to sell at such a high price. But seeing that it was left in the cold, I left with peace of mind
sunlight rock
After having enough food and drinks on Longtou Road, it's time to climb the mountain. Taking advantage of sunset, I can just climb to the top to see the night view of Xiamen. By the way, after 18 o'clock, the entrance ticket to Riguang Rock is 50% off, which only costs 30%.
There are two east and west gates in Riguang Rock, one close to Longtou Road and the other close to Shuzhuang Garden. The west gate on the Shuzhuang Garden side will be closed after 20 o'clock
There are much fewer people climbing Riguang Rock at night than during the day. They no longer queue up and easily climb to the highest point. Not only the entire Gulangyu Island, but even the entire Xiamen night view is included.
The sky is slightly blue, Xiamen is really beautiful at this moment
Finally, the article talks about the ferry terminals in Xiamen and Gulangyu. After booking a ticket on WeChat, you need to board the ship and go to the ticket office to check it, and then swipe your ID card to board the ship. On the return journey, you need not check the ticket and board the ship directly
This is what the cabin looks like.
On the plane back to Chongqing, my wife picked photos and prepared to show off to her best friends in the group. My son happily recalled yesterday's science museum and today's volcanic island. My wife happily held my hand and leaned against my shoulder. Time flies, and I am fortunate that at the age of thirty, I was able to become the backbone of my family and exchange my hard work for a happy time for the whole family.
