If life must have a trip, then I think it's best to go to Xiamen, which is full of literature and art

First stop:

The eight cities of Xiamen in "A Bite of China" and "Flavor of the World" are originally an ordinary seafood market, with several narrow branches next to them. Life and life have become Xiamen's gourmet base and spokesperson for ancient and early flavors.

Come to Bashi not only to eat, but also to experience the feeling of old Xiamen. This market, which has been developing for a century, no longer sells more than seafood. Of course, the theme is still seafood, various deep and offshore fish, shrimp and shellfish, and various derivative products. Whether you want to buy some dental sacrifices to kill your cravings, or want to choose a gift to take home to give away, it is the best choice. You can learn to bargain like a local.

There are many historical Nanyang arcade buildings here, as well as those shops downstairs that are often decades old. The rich atmosphere of the market helps you quickly integrate into the city. There is a saying in "A Bite of China","Clever food mostly comes from the people, and delicious food is often hidden in the market"! I especially like this place in Xiamen. It's delicious and inexpensive, and I basically don't know how to step on thunder!

In fact, there is no need to say much about the delicious food in the eight cities. Everyone knows it before. When you get off at Kaihe Crossing on the BRT, you will see many shops. There are no strategies here. You can stroll around for a long time. All kinds of seafood just look at it and you want to eat it. It costs 5-20 yuan to find and process it. The seafood is very fresh and not expensive! Hurry up and bargain with the demeanor of a grandma!

Recommended must-eat list:

Ajie Five-spice/Huilin Bamboo Shoots Jelly/Zhong Lijun Man-fried Cake/Yu Aiyu Roast Duck

1. Yousheng snacks

The most delicious Shacha noodles are the best food in "Late Night Jianghu". There are four delicious delicacies in his family, Shacha noodles/braised noodles/pork knuckle noodles/clear soup noodles, all of which are great! Especially Shacha noodles, the rich soup head, it is unforgettable after drinking it once. The store is small, but it is powerful!

Business hours: 06:00-22:00

2. Ajie Five-spice

Nicholas Tse and Pan Shuai checked in while filming "Twelve Strikes", and the store was filled with celebrity posters. It's freshly fried at the door and topped with sweet spicy sauce. It's really delicious! It used to be sold for 1.5 yuan, but now it is 4 yuan

Business hours: 06:00-19:00

3. Liangshan Food Stall

The food stall, which has been popular for more than 20 years, is only open for 5 hours a day."Late Night Jianghu" recommends that the owner has been busy at the door like in the documentary. The fireworks in the eight cities are all included in this dish of stir-fried food.

Business hours: 17:00-22:00

4. Salted peaches(I don't really want to recommend it, but it is a specialty of Xiamen. You can try it if you haven't tried it.) Xiamen's famous salty peaches are 8 yuan each. They are a little expensive. They are sold at fruit stalls in eight cities

There are many more inside, remember to use a fair scale, report a short weight or a short weight! Read more, listen more, and bargain more (see more how the local grandma bought it)! The aunt who refused to come forward to sell and process

the second station

When you come to Xiamen, you must go to Gulangyu. Remember to make reservations online in advance (Xiamen Ferry). You can all get there by bus or subway! The sea breeze in the morning is very comfortable and the sea water is very blue

Gulangyu is said to have been renamed during the Ming Dynasty. The island is like spring all year round, with a pleasant climate, lush trees, birds chirping and fragrant flowers, fresh air, undulating hills and ridges, and well-organized, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Walking all the way through Gulangyu Island, the small building with red tiles, the architecture is unique and has a strong European style. There are basically no transportation means on the island, and it all relies on two legs. Unless you stay in a better hotel and have a battery car to pick up and drop off. Forget it!

Suggestion for eating, let's first look at the old stores with long business limits in the reviews. Think more about the newly opened Internet celebrity stores. There are chain stores on Zhongshan Road opposite Gulangyu, and the taste is exactly the same!

Egg Full Pour is an intangible cultural heritage snack. It is recommended that we only try Egg Full Pour in the store. You can buy it by group!

The candied gourd has a taste that has not been tried before. It is really powerful. The seeds are also picked very cleanly. Except for waiting for a long time (making it now), there is nothing wrong with it. Remember to group, a string only costs 0.99. Buy it online if you can, otherwise the price will be much more expensive!

You don't need to specially check in Jay Chou's sunny day, you will find that in addition to sunny days, there are also secrets that you can't tell, encounters and other lyrics! You don't need to find strategies to take photos, it's a blockbuster every minute! Those online photo spots are people except people, so I would like to find a new place to take photos myself.

Remember to go around the alley and have many cats coming around in minutes! As soon as I squatted down, there were so many cats around me, one after another squatting at my feet. Halfway through the game, I hadn't taken any photos. Several passengers with children ran over loudly, scaring the cats away. So when you see cats, please squat down gently and play with them. More cats will be strung out from trees, streets, and windows to play with you. Don't shout!

Featured routes:

You can walk around the beach and enjoy the wonderful seaside scenery. You can also wear ribs between shops and corners of streets to have a different scenery experience.

Gulangyu at night is less crowded with tourists and quieter. You might as well pick a B & B and experience Gulangyu at night. There are quite a few snacks on the island. Take a slow tour of Gulangyu and experience the beauty of every corner.

Third stop:

In addition to Gulangyu Island and Zhongshan Road when you come to Xiamen, don't forget a literary and quiet haven, Shapowei, which houses many of Xiamen Island's literary and artistic feelings. Today's Shapo Wei is full of Internet celebrities checking in, arcade buildings along the street, colorful houses, and markets in the Art West District. There are surprises along the way.

Many people used to go to Shapowei in the morning. At that time, many drivers and shops asked us to go to the market at night, but I suggest that if you want to take good photos, you still need to go for a walk in the morning and come back at night to experience the noisy market.

Playing depends entirely on two legs: Shapowei-Maojie-Putuo Temple-Shapowei. They are all adjacent to each other and you can reach them wherever you go.

The streets are crisscrossed, with hotels and budget hotels of all grades scattered throughout the neighborhood. There are roadside shops on the street, restaurants of various flavors, Western restaurants, bars, cafes and local specialty commercial shops, all in line with everything.

Walking on the shore of the shelter is like looking in a painting, looking for the marks of old Xiamen and looking for the stories of former fishermen

Shop to visit：

1. Xiagang grocery store has a history of more than 50 years. Although the store is small and inconspicuous, the items it sells are rare and ancient treasures that are full of flavor.

2. At between, you can see it after turning right and walking a few slow steps at the Xiagang grocery store. It is a trendy store of Xiamen's local original brand, a group of "cutting-edge elements" who play skateboarding, love music, and make clothing

3. One tea,"one cup of Xiamen Port, three or two home-cooked teas", one tea has the intention of returning tea to its simplicity and original nature. There is also a "one tea, one table" appointment, accepting exclusive private tea table reservations in the evening

4. Thank you, the only shop on University Road without a sign, but it is a place where senior cultural youth and trendy people in the city are in full swing.

5. Fuerwei·Tongluoyaki, the freshly made and ready-made cake skins and super solid stuffed fillings are really fat. If you also like Doraemon, you must try it too

6. Red candle braised pork rice, the restaurant where my brother and his mother ate in "Take My Brother Away"

7. A street known to most food eaters: Samsung, 213, and Zhaoqiang each lead the way, among which 213 is the most popular.

8. The Art West District is a place where you can feel the fresh and youthful elements as soon as you enter. It is very popular among young local people and young trendy tourists from all over the country.

9. There is the Dragon King Palace on Minzu Road, which houses the sea god Mazu and the Great Emperor Baosheng. Every time before going out to sea, fishermen come to pay incense and pray. This is where they have relied on their pious beliefs for thousands of years.

10. You can see the lovely Ding 'ao Tsai Cat Street a hundred meters away from Shapo Wei. The entire cat street is painted with cat wall paintings. There is also a cat museum at the entrance. It is simply a paradise for cat lovers.

11. Walking next is Putuo Temple. Remember to make an appointment online, because it's a Monday to enter as if it's contracted by us. If you don't go to Putuo Temple and walk from Cat Street, you can walk to "Shapo Wei·Chibao". This is a gourmet gas station. Chibao gathers all kinds of southern Fujian snacks

It is recommended not to do too detailed strategies when walking around Shapowei and Maojie. Walking around, you will find many surprises in the alleys.

Accommodation:

Zengcuo 'an, Xiamen, is a place where locals do not recommend it and foreigners feel sorry not to come! It used to be a bit like a small fishing village. It was quiet and comfortable. There were many B & Bs but not many snacks! Nowadays, the B & B has many snacks, a strong commercial atmosphere and noise, and it has lost its simple flavor. But to be honest, I still booked the B & B here this time because it is convenient to eat, opposite the sea, and the location is excellent. It is surrounded by various attractions and has convenient transportation everywhere. This is so important for travel! Although it is very noisy outside, the place where we live is very quiet and does not affect sleep at all!

If you are a real eater, I would recommend staying here. It is not expensive and clean! B & Bs all have their own themes, hot air balloon themes and cloud themes. I booked it at Castle Manor this time and stayed at 80 yuan a night! You have to book in advance when you come here. After all, the price is different every day. It is around 70-120 when it is not holidays. The closer it is to the date, the more expensive it is!

Many people think that Zeng Cuo 'an's Internet celebrity is seriously inappropriate to come, but in fact, it's just the wrong time! Only when you come in normal times and there are not many people can you feel the freedom and comfort of the life in a small fishing village. As you walk step by step along the long and narrow clean streets, family hotels, youth inns, cafes, dining bars, and personalized small shops gather here. The path is a hundred and eighty meters long, and each shop on both sides is so low and small. However, it is decorated with just the right flowers and plants. You can walk to the seaside beach, or sit in the inn station in the small streets, make a pot of tea to bask in the sun, watch novels and movies, or blow the sea breeze on the terrace and overlook the scenery
