1: Visit Xiamen again to explore delicious food and beautiful scenery
There are always some cities that make people particularly nostalgic. I still remember that the last time I went to Xiamen was a year ago. I missed a lot of things during the rush. This time, I deliberately left four days to continue setting out.
Xiamen is more than 700 kilometers away from Hangzhou. It takes more than an hour by plane. This time, I made a special appointment with a friend to start a four-day food journey. On the itinerary, I arranged many attractions, whether they were for the public, for the minority, or for good photos.
It was my first time to visit many attractions, so I made some strategies in advance, from Gulangyu to Aozai Mao Street, to Xiamen Garden and Botanical Garden, to Shapowei... there were surprises everywhere.
But the most important thing is Xiamen cuisine. In four days, I can check in seven gourmet restaurants, from Xiamen Station to Zhongshan Road, from Zhongshan Road to Shapowei, and from Shapowei to Zengcuo 'an. Everything is worth recommending. If you want to know more details, remember to read the entire travel note.
Two:Locals may not necessarily be able to visit these attractions in Xiamenallbeen to
1. Gulangyu
I don't know where my love comes from, but I am deeply in love. Xiamen in my memory is always particularly emotional, deeply attracting every wanderer full of sincerity. I can't remember how many times I have come to Xiamen. There is such a place that I never get tired of seeing. It is Gulangyu, this thousand-year-old island faces Xiamen University across the sea and shines brightly in the years that are half-hidden.
Some people say that Xiamen made Gulangyu Island, but it would be better to say that Gulangyu Island made Xiamen. Every visitor who comes to Xiamen comes for Gulangyu Island's beautiful name. Romance, tranquility, literature and art, and all beautiful words are closely related to Gulangyu Island. This island that appeared since the Neolithic Era has never disturbed time, but it has softened the years.
A boat is indispensable for coming to Gulangyu. For a wanderer who rarely sees the sea, he is always particularly excited every time he looks at the sea. The water is clear, the mountains and islands are tall, the trees are overgrown, and the grass is lush. It interprets Cao Chao's "Watching the Sea" vividly. If what boating brings you is shock, then when you actually set foot on this beautiful island, what it brings you is unspeakable beauty.
Gulangyu streets are short and crisscrossed, with small red and white buildings rising from the ground. Under the sun, the red tiles shine and look particularly exquisite. Step on the bluestone slab and slowly pace, feel the oncoming sea breeze gently brushing your cheeks, touch the mottled walls with your hands, and gently tell the story of thousands of years.
In addition to similar small buildings on the island, there are also many villas hidden on hillsides, coasts and green trees. They are simple and fresh. The exquisite villas adopt a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with white as the keynote and dotted with red walls. Flowers are crowded in the huge courtyard, and potted plants at the door grow to their fullest extent, vividly interpreting the tranquility of the years, making people reluctant to disturb them.
There are many scenic spots on the island, among which one should not miss is Sunlight Rock. This rock growing on the top of the sun and the moon absorbs the first ray of early morning sunshine on Gulangyu Island. Slowly walk up the stone steps and quietly look at the rolling clouds above your head, making you feel playful and cute.
After climbing the summit, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Gulangyu Island. The nearby houses have gradually faded under the baptism of wind and rain. Brick by brick tells the story of a century, making people can't help but take aerial photography. It can be seen from the aerial photos that the buildings of Gulangyu Island are tightly surrounded by green plants, and the entire Gulangyu Island is like a natural oxygen bar, full of greenery.
Gulangyu Island is only separated by a sea from Xiamen's main island. Here, Xiamen's infinite scenery can also be enjoyed. The Twin Towers buildings are looming, all of which demonstrate Xiamen's prosperity to the world. There are also many ancient buildings on the island, such as the Gospel Church. Each small building has its own exclusive memory.
On Gulangyu, you can often see bridegroom and bride with happy faces. They are exquisitely dressed, and on this beautiful island, they freeze their immortal time.
2. Tan Jiageng Memorial Resort
When mentioning Xiamen, everyone will think of Xiamen University. This resounding city business card has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Chinese. However, for the students of Xiamen University, there is such a great man who they will never forget. Mr. Chen Jiageng, as the founder of Xiamen University, Chen Jiageng was a native of Xiamen. As early as his youth, he left his hometown to start an industry. He was a famous educator, industrialist and social activist.
I have always admired such great men of the times. During this trip to Xiamen, I came to the Tan Jiageng Memorial Resort to see the style of a great man of a generation.
The Tan Kah Kee Memorial Resort mainly consists of six major parts: Mastiff Garden, Mr. Tan Kah Kee's former residence, Tan Kah Kee's life story exhibition hall, Guilai Hall and Guilai Garden. We first came to the Mastiff Garden. Under the blue sky and white clouds, a majestic building remained independent, and its grandeur arose spontaneously. The exterior wall of the building is carved with exquisite embossed, telling the historical story and providing an unobstructed view of the ingenuity. The Mastiff Garden is divided into three parts: the porch, Jimei Liberation Monument and Chen Jiageng's Tomb. When I saw the tombstone, I was instantly in awe and couldn't help but pay tribute to the great man of a generation.
Walking to Mr. Tan Jiageng's former residence, an exquisite small foreign-style building came into view. The blue and white walls showed an elegant style, which vividly interpreted Mr. Tan Jiageng's taste. There are many bonsai placed in front of the small Western-style building, creating a sense of prosperity. Even if the great man has passed away, the spirit still stands tall.
In contrast, the Chen Jiageng Life Story Exhibition Hall looks more primitive. The two old bicycles in front of the door instantly bring people back to the 1990s. The exhibition hall is divided into three floors. The museum reproduces Mr. Tan Kah Kee's hard work in his life. Here, you can feel the multi-faceted nature of Tan Kah Kee. He is not only a lover who saved the country through industry, but also an educator who runs education. At the same time, he is also a revolutionary who is fearless in the face of danger. This multi-faceted nature makes Mr. Tan Kah Kee more full and his admiration arises spontaneously.
Immediately afterwards, we arrived at the Guilai Garden, which is mainly composed of two parts: Guilai Hall and Tan Jiageng Sculpture Garden. Under the spectacular sculpture group, the four characters "Peach, Li, Fangfei" are particularly shocking. This is the most sincere evaluation of a generation of educators. Wandering into the park, you will find endless scenery along the way. The majestic statue is like this towering coconut tree, standing tall in people's hearts.
Also worth seeing is the Tan Jiageng Memorial Hall. The exterior design of the memorial hall is unique. The combination of the strong island style and the Hui-style architectural style is refreshing. Under the illumination of the sun, the red tiles show the beauty of simplicity. The streamlined eaves design adds a bit of fashion to the memorial hall, which is destined to be a collision between beauty and culture.
3. Xiamen Garden Botanical Garden
When I came to Xiamen, in addition to going to Gulangyu to experience casual romance and going to Zengcuo 'an to count the historical customs, there is also such a familiar yet unfamiliar word that frequently appears on the check-in lists of major tourists. It is difficult to imagine that a seemingly unknown botanical garden can stand out among many attractions, which is really puzzling. However, seeing is better than hearing about it. During this trip to Xiamen, the botanical garden brought me a different tropical experience.
There are many scenic spots in the Botanical Garden. Due to limited time, we took a tour bus all the way and headed straight to the rainforest world and the succulent areas. I have long heard that the succulent plant area is shocking. Today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation. All kinds of cactus and aloe vera have grown into towering shapes, as if magnified by the camera, which is eye-opening. In comparison, the succulent plants we see on weekdays are simply a drop in the ocean. The round cactus is very cute and collides with the yellow sand. Walking in the succulent plant area, you can't find the third color at all. Looking around, in addition to the yellowing sand under your feet, almost all eyes are green, which is undoubtedly the best place to wash your eyes.
Of course, the reason why tourists can enjoy this place is undoubtedly because it is a photo resort. The huge succulent plants create an eclectic beauty. You don't need to deliberately pose for photos. You can walk every minute. Large, full of ins style makes you can't stop. Here, I also saw a cute guy, a clever wild cat that followed the crowd wantonly, as if wanting to blend in with this lively beauty, but because of his identity, he had no choice but to quietly watch it as a bystander. Seeing this stare, it really makes people laugh.
Compared with the crowded succulent plant area, I prefer the quiet and beautiful tropical rainforest area. The sun shines through the dense leaves and projects scattered light on the ground, creating a mysterious beauty. Although the lighting here is not as good as the succulent plant area, as long as the angle is right, you can still shoot large forests. The light and shadow leak through the leaves and shine on the face. The exquisite makeup surface is unobstructed, and the retro interpretation of literature and art is vividly and vividly.
It is said that smoke starts to be sprayed here every morning at 8:30. When you walk into the tropical rainforest, you will feel the smoke lingering. At first, I thought it was the moisture of plants, but I didn't expect it to be done on purpose. With such careful attention, it's no wonder tourists linger. Coming here is like being in a natural oxygen bar, and I can't wait to secretly decorate the air here. In addition to the fresh air, the temperature here is also much lower than other places. Occasionally, a breeze strikes, which makes people feel refreshed.
Finally, I want to remind everyone that the cactus here is full of thorns and is not easy to mess with. Everyone must pay attention to safety while taking photos.
4. Railway Cultural Park
With the continuous development of tourism, today's Xiamen has been filled with the continuous flow of people. Although the scenery and trees here still retain the flavor of old Xiamen, it seems like a fantasy to find a peaceful and beautiful place here. In the Nights, all major tourist attractions are crowded and lingering among them, and some do not know where to go.
In order to avoid the crowd, I came to such a place. Although it has no Internet celebrity check-in and no sound entertainment facilities, it retains the original memory of old Xiamen. More importantly, this exclusive memory has not been eroded by tourists., still intact.
It is the Railway Cultural Park, which can be reached from the west gate of the Botanical Garden. Compared to the lively Botanical Garden, it is much quieter and has no young and vivid faces. I occasionally see several middle-aged and elderly people coming here for a walk. It is quiet, elegant and beautiful, but without losing the smell of fireworks, and I have a special liking for such a small place.
Walking into the Railway Cultural Park, I was greeted by a stone tablet with a wooden sign hanging on the stone tablet. The six characters "Railway Cultural Park" came into view. The red writing was particularly eye-catching. The wheel design at the lower left was very unique, as if It was telling the annual rings of history, and the beauty of simplicity arose spontaneously.
The Railway Cultural Park was originally just an abandoned railway. As early as 2011, the municipal government decided to regain this precious land and develop it into a leisure and entertainment park. The Railway Cultural Park is mainly composed of four parts: railway cultural area, people's living area, customs experience area and urban leisure area. There are small platforms, train cars and other landscapes in the park, awakening people's memories of the "ancient morning" trains.
Slowly move forward along the railway tracks and feel the joy of sand and gravel pressing against your feet. Along the way, green trees are hidden, as if isolated from the world, and you can't feel the heat of the outside world. The banana leaves on the side compete for favor, always sticking their heads out from time to time, trying to make a sense of presence. The huge leaves sway with the wind, bringing a touch of coolness to passing tourists.
Here, you can see simple local people, meeting to take a walk here, looking at old objects, telling stories unique to that era, and listening to the simple local accent, making people feel more cordial. Although they are not locals, they are instantly brought in by this strong local accent, and all the memories of childhood are awakened, and there is a feeling of traveling through.
There is a pavilion along the way, where passers-by can rest here, lean on wooden piles, and listen quietly to the wind and grass moving. Occasionally, a strong wind hits, causing the ground to rustle, and time is stretched by shadows for a long time. This is the time that belongs to old Xiamen.
5. Ding 'ao Tsai Mao Street
When you come to Xiamen, you seem to have an indissoluble bond with the word literature and art. The green streets, wet sea breeze, and countless characteristic B & Bs here are all conveying Xiamen's unique literary and artistic atmosphere to the world. The most vivid thing about this trip to Xiamen is Ding 'ao Tsai Cat Street, a cat-themed street that interprets literature and art to the extreme.
Ding 'ao Zai Mao Street is located near Xiamen University. It is a theme street hidden in a small alley. When I first heard its name, I felt excited. This strange name instantly ignited all my enthusiasm, and the word "cat" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, leaving the poop shovels without any resistance. Cat Street is open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.. Every holiday, it is always crowded here. Fortunately, today is a working day, so I can enjoy a moment of tranquility.
When I first met Cat Street, I was attracted by the strong Japanese style, as if I had come to a cabin in an anime camera. A banner reading "Ding Ao Zi Cat Street" hangs on a door frame made of the outline of a cat, and several cute little guys stand on the steps on the side. Seeing this, cat lovers have completely fallen.
Although most of the houses on Cat Street are dilapidated, they have been slightly artificially modified and transformed into a beautiful landscape. The entire wall is filled with weird graffiti, and various bright colors collide with each other, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere. What makes people laugh is that on one side of the narrow window, there is a cute mouse quietly sticking its head out and becoming a prisoner alive.
Here, you can also find your childhood memories. Each vivid graffiti character instantly ignites childhood memories and lingers among them, making people dazzling. Of course, the funny and funny graffiti wall has become a photo attraction. With a casual photo, it will turn into a refined blockbuster with an unobstructed view of color saturation.
Walking along the path, a cat museum came into view. A sign composed of a cat's head, with white characters on a blue background, was very cute. The scene of Cat Street is vividly reproduced in the museum, and the strong anime style makes people love it. What needs to be reminded here is that the Cat Museum needs to purchase tickets. A ticket for 25 yuan can allow you to rub cats all day. This is undoubtedly a great gift for cat lovers.
There are also many specialty snacks on Cat Street. A small shop called Xiamen University Goose Rice is particularly popular. Scenes of cats playing on the mottled walls are painted, making people can't help but stop. Walking on Cat Street, you can see cats everywhere. You can have a perfect encounter with cats with just one turn around. It is undoubtedly a paradise for cat lovers.
6. Shapowei
As early as before I came to Xiamen, I heard that such a place is home to millions of dreams of literary and artistic youth. It is also a sacred place for local people to eat, drink and have fun. Such a rare place, I naturally couldn't help but follow the wind. This place is Shapowei.
Shapowei is the origin of Xiamen Port. As early as the Qing Dynasty, it was used as a safe haven. Because it is located at the end of a beach, it was named "Shapowei". Previously, it was connected with golden sand, so it also enjoys the reputation of "Jade Sand Slope". Today's Shapowei is mainly divided into three major parts: Art West District, University Road and Safe Harbor.
When we come to Shapo Wei, the first thing to come to is the old bungalows between Haven and University Road. These houses have been renovated and have been transformed into major restaurants and cultural and creative halls. The style of the stores is bold and innovative, creating a unique style. Beauty, just because of the exquisite decoration, girls can stop and take selfies for a long time.
In terms of photography, it is the Art West District. The wall paintings here have exquisite graffiti, which are colorful but not exaggerated, and the various styles collide perfectly, which is really hard to put down. There are also some refreshing facilities here, such as the telephone booth where young girls are heart-warming. The tone is blue, pink and yellow, and the color is so tender that the girls fall in love at first sight. They rushed to check in one after another, and they couldn't move.
In addition to the exquisite telephone booth, the design of the tavern here is bold and fashionable. Each wooden bench is designed with oil drums. The simple combination of colors plays with art in your hands. I have to admire the boss's artistic sentiments. The eye-catching design is really amazing. Of course, the surprise of the tavern goes far beyond the dining table. Looking at the guitarist in front of the door, through the wanton assembly of props, a beautiful landscape is formed, which vividly demonstrates the style of the tavern.
There are also some jewelry stores located here. Those small stores that seem to be vulnerable to a single blow embody the youthful blood of young people. This small store made of assembly boxes is blue and white, and the canvas bags at the door are unrestrained to show off the power of youth. It can be seen through the window that this is a small art shop selling bags. It does not require too much decoration and has a distinctive style. It is done as long as it looks good.
After stopping and stopping all the way, I unwittingly arrived at the Xiamen Harbor Marine Culture Exhibition Hall. Here, you can have an unobstructed panoramic view of the other bank of the safe haven. Various residential houses form a harmonious landscape. Fishing boats ashore are in groups of three or two, and the blue sea is sparkling. Occasionally, the reflections of residential houses are looming, and the strong atmosphere of life comes to your face.
The weird graffiti walls, exquisite dining bars, and dilapidated residential houses have all become more real and lovely under the embellishment of young people's dreams.
7. Nanputuo Temple
When it comes to temples, people are always full of respect. As a country with a long history, China has had an indissoluble bond with temples since ancient times. Whether it is in a large city or a small county, there are always one or two temples that quietly guard the water and soil of this area., for the people to pray for blessings and wishes. In Xiamen, there is also such a temple, which has a lot of incense all year round and is only across the street from Xiamen University. During the endless years, I listen quietly to the sound of books.
Nanputuo Temple was built in the late Tang Dynasty. It is mainly composed of buildings such as Tianwang Hall, Great Compassion Hall, and Great Xiongnu Hall. The temple is open for free. Compared with many temples with a strong commercial atmosphere, it is a clear stream. Nanputuo is built on a mountain and faces the sea. The strong island customs and incense smell blend into one, making it sacred and romantic.
When I came to Nanputuo, I was greeted by a mountain gate. The four big characters "Ludao Famous Mountain" stood tall. Ludao is another name for Xiamen, and the famous mountain refers to Nanputuo Temple. The mountain gate has a large and two small schools, and there is an empty door in the middle. Passing through the door, I actually feel like I have converted to Buddhism.
Walking into Nanputuo, you will find spectacular palaces rising from the ground. The design of the buildings is dignified and elegant. The flying dragon design on the eaves is very exquisite, which instantly enhances the status of the palace. Looking from a distance, you feel extremely majestic. First of all, we came to the Hall of Kings. The stone statue in front of the door was particularly eye-catching. The combination of elephants and lions was refreshing. The red lanterns in the corridor have gradually faded under the scouring of wind and rain, complementing the mottled stone pillars, showing their historical heritage.
The stone pillars are engraved with thought-provoking words, which are thought-provoking. There is a lot of incense in the hall. In addition to some middle-aged people who come here to pay homage, there are many young faces who come here to pray for fame. Immediately after, we arrived at the Hall of Great Compassion and climbed up the stairs. The mottled stone steps carried every pilgrimage coming and going, and the sense of history came to our face. The plaque of the Hall of Great Compassion has a red background, and the large golden characters are very eye-catching, interpreting the Buddhist spirit without reservation. The hall is dedicated to the four sides of Guanyin, who are merciful and merciful to all living beings.
The building of the Dharma Hall is more simple, and the hollow design of wood carvings makes the building look more peaceful and beautiful. There are flowers in front of the Dharma Hall. Although no visits are provided, there are still some tourists who come here to pay homage just to express their piety. The temple has a large green area and is full of vitality everywhere. The flying dragons with exquisite eaves are particularly eye-catching. The sculptures are mainly blue, white and red, which are exquisite but not enchanting, showing the world the unique style of Nanputuo.
Moving to the pool and standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Xiamen University. With a gust of breeze, the smell of incense spreads to thousands of households, and finally all melts into this pool of water, making it peaceful and beautiful.
8. Yanwu Bridge viewing platform
If you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Gulangyu in Riguang Rock, where can you see the infinite scenery of the entire Xiamen? This answer is definitely the same, that is the Yanwu Bridge viewing platform.
Yanwu Bridge was officially opened to traffic in 2003. The bridge adopts fish-belly beams and elliptical piers. The bridge body is entirely white, setting off against the blue sea and blue sky in the distance, without any sense of disobedience. Here, except blue, white and green, there is almost no way to find a fourth color to disturb. Yanwu Bridge faces the sea and is known as the bridge closest to sea level in the world. In order to satisfy tourists 'infinite yearning for Xiamen, the Yanwu Bridge has a free observation deck. The observation deck consists of three trestles and coastal trails. The entire observation deck consists of a complete curve without any edges and corners and slowly extends to Xiamen Bay., it looks extremely gentle.
Standing on the observation deck and overlooking, you can have a clear view of the 300-meter-high Twin Towers. Against the blue sky, the streamlined Twin Towers soar into the clouds. The blue appearance blends with the sky and shines under the sun. Shining, it vividly interprets Xiamen's prosperity. As a landmark building, everyone explains the beauty of Xiamen to tourists. Behind the Twin Towers is the Yanwu Bridge, which is actually far apart. Standing on the observation deck and looking into the distance, you feel like you are within reach.
Brand-new buses ride on the bridge, alternating in blue and white, fully interpreting Xiamen's urban style. What surprised me even more was the design of the Yanwu Bridge, which infinitely tends to sea level, but fully takes into account the ebb and flow of the tide. Seeing this, I have to sigh at China's infrastructure strength.
On the sidewalk below the bridge, scattered tourists are wandering around, facing the sea. The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and the strong ocean style is coming to your face. Standing here, you can quietly look at the Baicheng Beach in the distance. Under the illumination of the sun, the soft sand and gravel appear extremely fluffy. Each foot is marked. Looking from a distance, the beach is endless, as if it has been covered with a blanket. It is extremely flat, making people can't bear to destroy it.
What makes people even more fondly love is this picture of blue sea and blue sky, as if it has been frozen. A corner of the green is slightly exposed, the thin and soft sand gives people a feeling of extreme warmth, the fashionable bridge extends infinitely, and the blue sky and the sea are integrated. One, only a few lazy clouds fluttering in the wind, which reminds people of a poem,"The wind is shaking its leaves, the trees are bearing its seeds, and it will be beautiful if we stand without speaking."
I heard that the Yanwu Bridge Observation Deck under the night is even more beautiful, and the neon lights on both sides of the island are flashing, which is so beautiful that it is intoxicating. Unfortunately, time was limited and I didn't have time to wait until evening. However, this tranquil beauty was enough to leave people with endless aftertaste.
9. Zeng Cuoan
Once upon a time, there was an island. There was a small fishing village on the island. The fishermen in the village worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and lived endlessly in the unseen years. However, suddenly one day, this beautiful small fishing village was discovered by the world. Like a girl who had never been exposed to the world, she gradually lifted her mysterious veil and became famous from then on. Now it has become a business card of a major city in Xiamen. Speaking of this, I believe everyone knows that it is true that this small village that is half-hidden from the world is Zeng Cuo 'an.
Zeng Cuo 'an is known as the most literary fishing village in China. It interprets literature and art to the extreme and becomes a must-check place for young people. Zengcuo 'an is located in the southeast of Xiamen Island. It was once a small fishing village that made a living by fishing. The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. People here rely on the sea for a living and live a day-to-day life every day, which is simple and simple.
It is said that as early as the Ming Dynasty, this place was once a major military hub. The geographical conditions close to mountains and seas created unique conditions for military defense. With the development of the times, Zengcuo 'an was included in the scope of Urban area renovation, but the exclusive memory belonging to Zengcuo' an is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every fisherman.
When I arrived at Zengcuo 'an, what came into view was a simple and exquisite plaque with gold characters on a red background. Against the blue sky, it looked particularly delicate and had a feeling of being a small family. The house number is surrounded by lush green trees, constantly delivering oxygen to passing tourists, making people feel refreshed. The houses here are built of unified red brick ancient houses, and "Fanzai Towers" in Nanyang style can be seen everywhere. It is said that these are traces left behind by overseas Chinese in the past, and now they have become extremely precious gifts from Zeng Cuoan.
As night falls, the entire Zengcuo 'an is brightly lit, with all kinds of snacks and delicious food available, which makes people dazzled. Here, it is indispensable to order a piece of bamboo shoots jelly. As a specialty snack in Xiamen, it exudes Xiamen's unique island style. Of course, there are also delicacies such as sand tea noodles, rice dumplings, shrimp and eggs, all of which make Xiamen appear unreserved.
For a pig's trotters enthusiast, the pig's trotters here are delicious, soft and glutinous. They are extremely tempting with sesame seeds and chives. They can't help but feast. After eating the pig's trotters, they will have another fruit platter., sweet and delicious, just to relieve boredom. I have to say that the fruit here is indeed very cheap. A ten-yuan fruit cup is enough to make you eat until you are full.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sunset had not completely sunk to the bottom of the sea, we grasped the tail of dusk and came to the beach opposite Zengcuo 'an. Amid the surging crowds, we counted the sunset in detail and said that the fiery red sunset had soaked the sky, which actually had a kind of "sunrise, the river flowers were red and the flowers were better than the fire." It's a pity that the sunset was endless and dusk was already here.
10. Congyu Bookstore
I don't know when, words have become extremely precious, and love for reading has become unattainable, becoming a high praise for a person. I have to say that with the continuous development of the Internet, various new things continue to enrich our lives. At the same time, they are also dividing our concentration and taking away some seemingly insignificant good habits, such as reading.
Fortunately, there are always some people in every city who are awake. While integrating into life, they maintain a high degree of self-examination, interpret the spirit of reading vividly, and even try to awaken a city's perception of books through their own efforts. This is the original intention of Congyu Bookstore, an online celebrity bookstore hidden in Zengcuo 'an.
When I first heard of its name, I believe that many of my friends were like me, expressing confused faces. Before I really stepped into the bookstore, I was confused by the name. The word "Yu" is the same as "jade", which describes holding a pen in one hand. It looks like a book, and following Yu means pursuing the authenticity of books, which is also the original intention of the bookstore.
Congyu Bookstore is located at the entrance of Zengcuo 'an, which is in sharp contrast to the noisy food street. It may seem incompatible, but in fact it adds a more scholarly atmosphere to this literary and artistic place. The appearance of the bookstore is based on white and is not decorated with too much color. It is simple but beautiful. After all, what the owner wants to convey is only the book itself. If it is too fancy, it will inevitably attract the attention of the guest. After all, the book has its own Yan Ruyu, the book has its own golden house, and the world in the book is much more colorful than reality.
On the glass door at the entrance, the four words "Congyu Bookstore" are very eye-catching. The font is handsome and the pen is clear, but it is not dull, interpreting the fragrance of books just right. The door of the bookstore is designed with glass, and the displays in the store are looming, which makes people can't help but speed up the pace.
Walking into the bookstore, on the bookshelf on one side, the words "I am grateful for the day I met you" hit my soul. Zhang Ailing once said,"All encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation." I have always believed that the collision between books and hearts is also true. A vivid label is attached to the glass door on the other side to guide guests in the direction.
The moment I really stepped into the bookstore, I realized what it means to be eclectic. For readers, reading itself is a very beautiful thing. Such a beautiful thing naturally needs an elegant environment to set off so that it can complement each other. The bookshelves on the first floor are made of wood and bean green, gentle and elegant. Various Chinese and foreign literature are quietly placed on the bookshelves, waiting for readers to embark on a new journey.
Moving to the second floor, he slowly walked up the narrow corridor. The white lines outlined an infinite beauty. Many netizens did not understand why the stairs were not built to be more spacious. In fact, this was the owner's intention. He believed that people who truly love reading would not be restrained by this narrow staircase, and at the same time, they also hope to create a surprise that "the willows are dark and the flowers are bright". After all, the real world is always narrow, but the ocean of knowledge is infinite.
There are so many seats on the second floor. Open a good book at will, choose a position by the window, and quietly enjoy the infinite power brought by knowledge. All the dust and dust along the way is washed clean. At this moment, I just want to be a reader.
11. Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street
Almost every city has a street named after Mr. Sun Yat-sen. Xiamen is no exception. Xiamen has many streets and alleys, and the most must-see one is Zhongshan Road. When you come here, you can not only feel the prosperity of the city, but also You can take in the old customs and enjoy a unique city customs that belongs to Xiamen.
I heard that Zhongshan Road was even more charming when night fell, so we went to the nearby eight cities first. As early as the last century, this was Xiamen's seafood distribution center. All kinds of seafood were available, and the entire street was covered with thick seafood. Wrapped by the flavor, it became the unique flavor of the eight cities. The residential houses in the eight cities have become mottled under the baptism of wind and rain, but the people here are happy with poverty and quietly guarding this pure land. The criss-crossing electric wire network surrounds the residential buildings, bringing the atmosphere of life to your face.
Here, you can see the energetic old man, carrying a briefcase and walking vigorously, and the exquisitely dressed aunties, meeting out to buy groceries and go shopping. Among them, there are many sanitation workers working hard. They all say that the smell of fireworks is the most soothing, probably That's why, the face in a hurry is frozen on the film, and life is now known.
The arcade buildings in the eight cities are original and completely preserve the living scenes of old Xiamen. This was once the scene of the movie "Flying Life". Ancient but artistic buildings rose from the ground, brick by brick. Telling the story of old Xiamen to the world. The Siming Cinema here has become a landmark building. After some renovations, it still shines brightly through the years. In this land of literature and art, I don't know how many infatuated men and women have left behind them.
It was not until the sky was getting late that we moved to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. If eight cities truly brought me into Xiamen's market life, then Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street was showing the world Xiamen's current style. There are many shops on both sides of the pedestrian street, with all major brands, including many specialty delicacies and various specialties, all showing tourists the prosperity of Xiamen. The buildings on both sides adopt a unified white wall design, and the wide streets lead everyone to the broad avenue. Traveling through them, you feel like you are in Rome. The warm yellow lighting creates a visual sense of error and a sense of sudden realization.
Here, you can see all kinds of faces, including couples holding hands, naughty and lovely children, and graceful and exquisite aunts. They reveal the quality of life everywhere, and all of them demonstrate Xiamen's happiness and development in the world. However, compared with the colorful Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, I still prefer the authentic street style of Bashi City. It is not intentional at all, but it is particularly exciting.
Three:Internet celebrity gourmet restaurant, a must-miss Xiamen flavor
1. 1927 Dongyuan Private Kitchen
Facing the sea, the flowers bloom in warm spring. This is the most beautiful expectation for Xiamen by every tourist who comes to Xiamen. Of course, in addition to the touching scenery, there are also delicious food that cannot be disappointed. However, with the arrival of tourists, many streets in Xiamen have been filled with a dazzling array of shops, gradually losing the tranquility of the past. It seems very valuable to want to enjoy a peaceful time among many restaurants. During this trip to Xiamen, I came across such a restaurant amidst the dust and dust, which makes people look at it for thousands of years.
This unique restaurant is located at No. 65 Siming East Road, Siming District, next to Zhongshan Road. Although it is located in a prosperous area, it retains its unique tranquility and has a sense of independence. When I first met the 1927 Dongyuan Private Kitchen, I was attracted by its elegant appearance. It was not so much a restaurant, but more like a private villa. The sense of history came to my face. It is said that this villa has a history of more than a hundred years. However, it reveals exquisiteness everywhere, and seems to have a special magic that makes people can't help but be attracted.
Under the bright sun, a simple but beautiful gate stands quietly. The four words "Dongyuan Private Kitchen" are powerful and powerful, adding an elegant style to the restaurant. Passing through the courtyard, surrounded by flowers and greenery, a small duplex building came into view. Under the baptism of wind and rain, it did not change its color. At this time, I felt as if I had stepped into a solemn church, full of respect.
Walking into the Dongyuan Private Kitchen, you will find familiar faces, and the check-in figures of your familiar love beans are hung on the photo wall. It is said that even Huang Jingyu praised him. After eating this meal, it seemed like he was away from his love beans. A step forward.
Of course, the reason why 1927 Dongyuan Private Kitchen is famous is that in addition to the elegant dining environment and unique dining experience, the dishes here will definitely convince you. In order to feast our mouths, we tried all the signature dishes here before we realized what delicious food in the world is.
Some people say that if you want to have a ceremonial feeling, you must have a small dish from the store before a formal meal. Whether the taste is good or not, one small dish is enough to reflect it. The four fine dishes here are enough to completely ignite your taste buds. The slightly sweet duck tongue is full of flavor, making it impossible to stop chopsticks.
When you come here, you must order a villa salt grilled fish, which will definitely refresh the fish-eating experience. The tender fish is wrapped in thick salt baking. When viewed from a distance, it looks more like a soft piece of bread, making people's eyes invisible. When the waiter lit the fire and cooked it for a minute, it truly revealed its true colors. The fragrance of the fish was completely preserved, and the taste was tender, smooth and full of delicious flavor.
The signature red cream crab glutinous rice is also a must-order order here. The red cream crab is very exquisite. The glutinous rice fully absorbs the umami flavor of crab paste and has a soft and waxy taste. One serving is enough to fill a person. If you want to eat a strong hometown dish, Fairy Chicken is a well-deserved choice. The tender chicken and the soft glutinous pig's trotters collide perfectly. They are slowly stewed using the most traditional low heat. They are full of collagen and feel full of happiness.
The matcha oatmeal shrimp here refreshes me. Matcha, oatmeal and shrimp? What a strange combination is this, but what is unexpected is that it is this eclectic collision that once again peaks your taste buds. The silky shrimp is paired with delicate cereals and matcha, and the taste is fresh and makes people love it.
The taste of French-baked snails is very unique. The soft skin hides a thick piece of snails. After taking a bite, the mustard flavor fills the entire mouth, instantly refreshing. It is natural to eat abalone when you come to Xiamen. The signature abalone here with locust pork has a unique name, but the taste cannot be underestimated. The abalone is of moderate size and very delicious.
The seaweed stir-fried dishes perfectly display the authentic flavor of old Xiamen. It is wrapped in thick pork floss, and the taste is self-evident. The name of Thousand Miles Fragrance is particularly eye-catching. The fried lotus root slices taste crispy and are fresh with fungus and other vegetables. Finally, I'll have a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus stir-fried shrimps meat. It tastes fresh but not greasy, bringing this delicious journey to a successful conclusion.
2. Siyu Fujian cuisine·Old Xiamen specialties
When I come to Xiamen, it is indispensable to go to Zhongshan Road. There is a collection of various delicacies and specialties, which provides an exhaustive view of the flavor of old Xiamen. Among them, there is such a restaurant that attracts me. Long before I came to Xiamen, I have been amored by my friends countless times, that is, Siyu Min Cuisine·Old Xiamen Specialty Cuisine located on Zhongshan Road. It is a place where even Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help but check in three times.
When I first saw Siyu Fujian cuisine and old Xiamen specialties, I was attracted by the strong star flavor here. There were celebrities checking in at the door. Deng Chao, Zeng Zhiwei and others could clearly stand out among so many restaurants. The taste is natural. It goes without saying.

On the other side of the seafood pond, some seats were placed. They were neat and orderly, making it convenient for guests to rest while waiting for meals. Then walking in, warm yellow lights filled the entire space, and simple retro chandeliers were hung high, instantly adding a touch of literary and artistic beauty to the restaurant. In general, there is nothing special about the restaurant's decoration. To create a fresh and comfortable dining environment as a whole, taste is the trump card.
The ginger duck here is a must-order dish and a favorite among celebrities. Although ginger duck can be seen everywhere in Xiamen, the taste of Siyu Fujian cuisine is indeed better. The ginger flavor is rich and the duck meat is very delicious. At the same time, it retains the delicacy and delicacy of the duck meat itself, and the meat is silky and smooth, making people feel satisfied.

If ginger duck is the signature of Siyu Fujian cuisine and Lao Xiamen specialties, then other dishes are the soul of the store. They do not need gorgeous names. A simple combination of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea is enough to make people nostalgic.
3. Eat burger at the tail of Shapo
Zhongshan Road, Zengcuo 'an, Gulangyu... are undoubtedly must-check places for tourists, but for Xiamen locals, they don't like the lively Internet celebrity check-in spots, but they have a special liking for such a place. Here, all the memories of Xiamen people are sealed and all the flavor of old Xiamen are preserved.
This place is Shapowei Chibao. When you randomly interview a Xiamen people's favorite restaurant on the street, you can always hear its name from your mouth. It is said that the predecessor of Shapowei Chibao was the Star Shark Glycerine Factory. Now it has transformed into a food city. The familiar taste is mixed with many memories of old Xiamen. This food journey is destined to be an intriguing enjoyment.

It brings together all the specialty snacks of old Xiamen, as well as eye-catching customs performances. While enjoying the feast, we can find exclusive memories of old Xiamen.
Shapowei·Chibao is divided into five floors, each floor is unique. The first floor is the comprehensive hall, the second floor is the Xiamen Pavilion, the third floor is the Zhangzhou Pavilion, the fourth floor is the Quanzhou Pavilion, and the fifth floor is the comprehensive hall. Each floor brings you a refreshing experience. We ordered a large table full of it, and each one told the original taste of old Xiamen.
Bamboo shoots jelly is one of Xiamen's specialty snacks and a must-have new experience when coming to Xiamen. With the combination of dips, the taste is more delicious and will not be difficult to swallow. Of course, it is indispensable to order a portion of Shacha noodles.

4. Paste Duck Pot·Old Xiamen Style Hot Pot
I don't know when, hot pot has been deeply integrated into the hearts of every Chinese and has become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. After all, there is nothing that a hot pot meal cannot solve. When I came to Xiamen, I naturally had hot pot attendance. However, unlike spicy flavors such as Sichuan and Chongqing, the hot pot here has its own unique flavor. During this trip to Xiamen, I came to a hot pot restaurant that has been admired for a long time-Gaoya Pot·Lao Xiamen-style hot pot, and I felt the strong flavor of southern Fujian.
When I first heard its name, I found it quite interesting. This boss must be a cultural person. He actually played word games, which made people laugh. Later, I learned that this cream refers to crab cream, and the duck is muscovy duck soup. It is said that this hot pot restaurant ranks among the top three popular seafood hot pot restaurants in the city. It is not only deeply loved by locals, but even tourists praise it. It is really irresistible to such delicious food in the world.
It is said that the wine aroma is not afraid of deep alleys. Paste Duck Pot·Old Xiamen Style Hot Pot is located on Xiaxi Road in Siming District. The geographical location is not superior, but it does not affect the pace of foodies at all. When I first met the hot pot restaurant, I didn't feel anything different. However, compared with traditional spicy hot pot, the decoration design of the store gave people a very soft feeling, and the yellow light seemed a little dim. This literary city is full of romance. feeling.
The seafood pool at the entrance is filled with many fresh seafood, swimming wantonly with the water column and full of vitality. Climbing up the stairs, we arrived at the booth on the second floor, which made people's eyes shine. The simplicity of the first floor seems to be to set off the exquisiteness of the second floor. This retro and elegant leather chair, paired with the pink peach blossoms on the top of the head, makes people feel more comfortable. Warm, comfortable dining environment is unobstructed.
The soup base here is the essence, and the ginger-flavored muscovy duck soup collides perfectly with the fresh crab cream to create a different taste buds experience. If the spicy pot bottom in Sichuan brings you the experience of pepper and hemp and the stimulation of sweat glands, then this pot of thick paste duck pot is definitely fresh but not greasy, giving people endless aftertaste. At the same time, the soup base contains corn, wolfberry and other ingredients, which are healthy and nutritious, and are definitely the best choice for eating girls.
When you come here, you must have a seafood lighthouse to satisfy all your yearning for seafood. There is a row of live shrimps at the top of the lighthouse, and the transparent cans below contain four ingredients, including abalone, scallops, clams, and live octopus. Watching the octopus wiggle in the jar, I couldn't bear to put them into the pot.

All in all, the Duck Pot·Old Xiamen Style Hot Pot has won with just one bite of soup!
5. Taste Friends·Xiamen Taste
In everyone's impression, the train station always feels noisy, and the food at the train station is always expensive and unpalatable. It can only barely fill its stomach and has nothing to do with delicious food. But during this trip to Xiamen, I accidentally discovered such a specialty food restaurant, which completely changed my impression of restaurants around the railway station.
This restaurant is called Weiyou Xiamen Flavor. I believe many Xiamen people are familiar with it. They thought it was a unique surprise hidden next to the train station, but they didn't expect that it has opened nearly 10 branches in Xiamen and is deeply loved by locals.
This time I came to the World Trade Mall store, which is located on the fifth floor of Block A of the mall. The store is very large, with red lanterns hanging high at the entrance, which is very contemporary. Even the door is designed with a tiled eaves, as if I have come to a farmhouse. The courtyard is very down-to-earth. The store is very spacious, and the walls are filled with scenes from childhood Chinese textbooks. Fishing, chicken feeding, and rice transplanting. The pictures are lifelike, with high color saturation, and the atmosphere of life comes to your face.
Duck meat noodle line is the signature here and has won the title of "Famous Chinese Snack" issued by the China Cuisine Association. You can imagine the taste. The duck soup is made by slow stewing authentic red-faced muscovy duck and more than a dozen medicinal materials. The soup is clear and strong. The duck meat is moderately fat and lean, and the handmade noodles are strong, which is not worse than Nanjing's duck blood vermicelli.
Crispy and soft-shell shrimp vividly interprets the word "crispy". It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is crispy and crispy on the inside, but it also retains the umami flavor of the shrimp. It makes people can't help but bite after bite. Crispy shrimp I have eaten a lot earlier, but most of them are fried too much and lose the flavor of the shrimp itself. I really can't put it down on this experience.
The fillings of the five-spice rolls are very sufficient, and various flavors are mixed together to create a different taste buds experience. Especially when dipped in homemade sauce, the taste is beyond telling. In front of delicious food, any language will appear pale.
I was very surprised by this bamboo shoot jelly and white-boiled octopus. In addition to the unique presentation, the taste was self-evident. The fragrance of orange peel concealed the fishy smell of the octopus. With the sauce embellished, it was extremely refreshing and delicious., everyone might as well give it a try. In contrast, cured taro pot is more common. The taro here is tender and smooth, and looks more like a piece of farmhouse tofu. The soft cotton of the taro is mixed with the aroma of bacon, making it full of taste.
The taste of sand tea is just right. For a foreigner, he will not resist the strong taste of sand tea. There are a complete variety inside, including large intestine, small intestine, squid, clavicle meat, etc., which are mixed but not messy, and the taste is very rich.
This rich seafood chowder will definitely make you feel satisfied. There is also spicy stir-fried razor clams, paired with special cucumbers, which is very greasy. Finally, bring a delicious Fujian-style beef offal soup to bring this delicious food journey to a successful conclusion.
6. Xin 'aqiang Zeng Cuoan Food Stall
When it comes to food stalls, everyone will think of Nanjing food stalls, but nowadays, food stalls are no longer the exclusive memory of Nanjing people. In almost every corner of the city, you can find a unique food stall. It may not be the most advanced one. However, it contracts the taste buds experience of generations of local people. During this trip to Xiamen, I chose Xin 'aqiang Zeng Cuo' an Food Stall and encountered the original flavor of old Xiamen on the noisy night market streets.
Xin 'aqiang Zeng Cuo' an Food Stall won the 2019 must-eat list. Many foodies come from afar just to feel the tip of Xiamen. Long before they came, they were visited by their friends Amway many times. This trip to Xiamen, I finally feel a feast.
Xin 'aqiang Zengcuo' an Food Stall is located at No. 177 Zengcuo 'an She. It has a superior geographical location, convenient transportation, a large store area, and eye-catching signs are hung high, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find a place.
Walking into the store, the decoration in the store made my eyes shine. The design of the store is mainly based on dark green. The retro blue walls and gray ceilings set off each other. It is full of advanced feeling. The brown-yellow tables and chairs add a touch of home. The atmosphere, what surprised me even more was the pendants on the wall, the antique folding fans and the exquisite hanging paintings embellished each other, and the artistic atmosphere instantly came to my face.
As they arrived late, most of the guests returned home full of food, making the space more spacious and bright. There is a row of seafood ponds at the door, where you can order directly from watching the seafood.
Soy sauce, water and small abalone are the signature, and almost every guest who comes here will not miss it. The original umami taste of abalone is even better under the extraction of soy sauce. The abalone is very big, fat and chewy.
Tong 'an Feng Pork is a major specialty in Xiamen. The method is very complicated and it is difficult to get authentic taste in other places. The sauce-colored soup fills the meat, embellished with chopped green onions and broccoli flowers, making it more appetizing. With a careful bite, the fat and lean mixture will melt in the mouth. Just looking at such an attractive color makes people feel powerless.
When you come to Xiamen, you must eat authentic oyster fried once. The taste of the oysters is wrapped in eggs and the taste is sticky, as if you taste the taste of the sea.
Friends who like to eat fish must not miss the steamed grouper here. The fish is tender and smooth, perfectly retaining the fragrance of the fish itself, but the fishy smell is completely processed, making people have a lasting aftertaste.
Handmade shark ball soup is a major feature of the store. Different from ordinary heart-filled fish balls, the fish balls here are not only fuller with meat filling, but also softer and softer on the skin. They accidentally fry the juice in the mouth to feel the aroma of the fish. Whirling on the tip of the tongue, making people feast on.
This is definitely a paradise for seafood lovers. Crabs, mussels, scallops, squid, lobsters, etc. can all be made into different flavors according to your own tastes. I have to say that the chef's skills are absolutely first-class. No wonder there are guests from all over the world.
Finally, there is a plate of refreshing Minnan hand-peeled bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots are refreshing and tender, allowing you to relive the flavor of Minnan once again.
7. Strong fried crab with ginger duck
Only love and food cannot be disappointed. In such a city full of literature and romance, even taste buds have become picky. After tasting many Xiamen specialties, I accidentally encountered such a restaurant. If the old Xiamen specialties bring you refreshing, then the trump dishes will bring you more shock.
At the corner of Zhongshan Road, a three-story building stands tall. The surroundings of the building are full of greenery. The graffiti on the first floor looks a little playful, adding a bit of artistic flavor to the restaurant. However, what attracts me the most is the three characters "Xin Aqiang". Tourists who have been to Xiamen all know that in Xiamen, Xin Aqiang is the benchmark for food. The encounter happened to be Xin Aqiang's main store. The huge signboard was very eye-catching and looked unique against the blue sky.
Walking into the restaurant, you can see an eye-catching sign. Brother Zeng Zhiwei's figure cannot be ignored. It is said that this is a must-visit restaurant Zeng Zhiwei when he comes to Xiamen. The words "Return to the Essence of Catering" are particularly eye-catching, making people truly feel the intention of the business. There is no dining on the first floor of the restaurant. There is a dazzling array of seafood. The fish alone is dazzling. There are also all kinds of shellfish, including oysters, razor clams, green mouth, flower shells, etc., which are full of vitality.
The first thing to do when you come here is to order a serving of ginger duck. No matter how many servings you eat in Xiamen, you must not miss this one. The duck meat is soft and rotten, nourishing but not greasy. It has the effect of nourishing yin and reducing fire. It is even more attractive with the embellishment of cooked sesame seeds.
What surprised me the most was the three delicacies of sand tea here. Having eaten so many seafood platters, only this time is still interesting. The perfect combination of shrimp, clams and squid, coupled with the rich sand tea soup, it is fresh and fragrant, and the taste is slightly spicy but not exciting. The sand tea is full of flavor, making the trip worthwhile.
The taste of the five-spice roll is crispy. When viewed from a distance, it looks like a crispy roast duck. In fact, it surprises you. As a specialty snack in Xiamen, it can be said to be unique. The aroma of a variety of ingredients is mixed in the middle, which constantly enriches your taste buds. Sprinkle with a few chives, the color will appear fuller, making you can't help but feast. The taste of Zizai Jian is surprising. I eat authentic Taiwanese flavor. The fresh oysters are wrapped in eggs. I feel the richness of seafood and eggs spreading in my mouth. The taste is simply great.
Of course, there are also essential dishes such as strong fried crab, abalone sauce, oil and water, all of which satisfy your taste buds experience of old Xiamen. Accompanied by the slightly warm light and feeling the temptation on the tip of my tongue, at this moment, I am so happy that I can't move my feet.
Four: Of all the B & Bs in Xiamen, choose Rumo designed holiday villas
In the romantic early autumn, with the first warm sun in the afternoon, I came to the Rumo design vacation villa. When I first heard its name, I found it interesting, and there was an artistic atmosphere between the lines. The hotel is located at No. 25 Tianquan Xili, Zengcuo 'an, Huandao Road, facing the sea and enjoying a panoramic view of the infinite scenery of Huandao Road.
Some people always fall in love at first sight, and so do hotels. When I first met the Rumo design resort villa, I was attracted by its light and luxurious and simple appearance. The hotel is based on white and is set off by blue curtain cloth, blending with the blue sky and white clouds, showing a fresh temperament. The hotel's design mainly uses a simple white line frame, which is decorated with logs and looks very elegant. Different from the gorgeous hotels I stayed in earlier, the Rumo Design Holiday Villa gave me the feeling that it was just like its name, simple but not simple.
The hotel is surrounded by lush green trees and a beautiful environment. On the white walls, the word "Ru Mo" is particularly eye-catching. The font is elegant. The black pen and ink instantly injects soul into the hotel, fresh and scholarly. Passing through the door, a fresh and exquisite small courtyard comes into view. The banana leaves around you release your nature. The open-air sofa and a small coffee table are simply combined, which is monotonous but beautiful. The sun leaks through the leaves and falls on the ground, and the light and shadow move with the wind. Comfortable and beautiful.
When I walked into the hotel, I was greeted by a row of comfortable and warm sofas. The reeds behind the sofas were particularly eye-catching and had a sense of returning to nature. A small coffee table and armchair are placed in front of the sofa, and black and white collide, showing a sense of advanced quality. What attracts me most is of course the unique chandelier above my head, the perfect combination of geometric shapes, and the art is played in my hands.
Walking up the steps, the golden chandelier gradually attracted the eyes, and instantly became sleepy. I chose to stay in a double bed room with a mountain view. When I first heard of its name, I had the tranquility of the mountains and distant scenery. Opening the room, I instantly felt at home. The room is mainly divided into three structures, which are progressive layer by layer, constantly enriching my stay experience.
The room is very large, with a large bed as the main body. The thick rope design is matched with a retro small chandelier. The warm yellow light fills the entire bed, making people feel exhausted and can't help but fall asleep. The pendant above the bedside is refreshing, and the woven rope is integrated with the mirror, adding a lot of style to the room. There is a small wood-colored table placed on one side of the bed. The fresh and meaty table is very eye-catching, adding a touch of greenery to the room.
There is also a sink next to the small table, which is very convenient for guests to wash and make up. White tiles and black lines carry the simplicity to the end. There is also a pink foot basin placed under the washstand, allowing guests to wash away their fatigue after a long journey and use their heart to the extreme.
Moving to the bathroom and wanting to test the hygiene standards of a hotel, the first thing to do is to look at the bathroom of the room. The walls of the bathroom are made of uniform black and white tiles, and the black metal frame is matched with a glass door to perfectly separate the dry and wet parts. From the ground to the sprinkler head, it remains spotless, which is really precious. The four-piece marble bath set is neatly placed, making people love it.
There are some small objects placed on the front side of the bathroom. Exquisite frame paintings and artistic flower arrangements reveal exquisiteness everywhere. Then we come to the third part of the room. The hollow walls perfectly isolate the big bed from the balcony, fashionable but not deliberate. The room has good lighting. The large floor-to-ceiling windows contain the first ray of morning sunshine. The sunlight shines through the gauze curtains and shines on the wooden chair on the side. It is dotted with stars and is very beautiful.
The single sofa against the wall is extremely soft. As soon as you sit down, it feels as if you are being pulled into your arms, drinking tea and listening to a tune. If you are not careful, you will slip away in the afternoon. There is a clean bathtub opposite the sofa, and the green plants on the side are constantly delivering oxygen, making it fresh and beautiful. There is also a full-length mirror next to the bathtub, and the wood-colored frame complements the floor, interpreting the hotel's temperature without reservation.
The room is also equipped with stereo, aromatherapy, clothes hangers, ironing equipment and other facilities, making it convenient to live at home and making people feel warm. The hotel also hides an open-air swimming pool, which shines in the sunshine. The sofa pendant on the side stands tightly, swinging its body gently in the wind, lying on the comfortable sofa chair, overlooking the blue sea and blue sky, and falling into infinite tenderness.
