【Artistic Roaming · Coffee and Light & Shadow Code】

Off the Beaten Path: 9:00 AM Depart from Neicuo'ao Pier, stroll along Yanwei Mountain Ecological Park, capture the rainbow coastline and lighthouse in one frame, use a telephoto lens to compress space and create a "Little Kenting" vibe. Pass by Dadeji Bathing Beach, where the reef platform at low tide instantly transforms into a "Piano on the Sea" stage; bring a transparent umbrella as a prop for better shots🌂. 12:00 PM Hide away in Wormhole Bookstore (a popular ruin-style shop), with a cave-like structure and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sea. Order a special coffee called "Wind of the Island's West Coast," find a Gulangyu poetry collection on the bookshelf, and when taking side profile shots, let sunlight slant through the blinds onto the pages for a burst of literary atmosphere☕. 3:00 PM Stroll along Sanming Road, where old villas have arched windows covered in green ivy. Around the corner, discover Chuncaotang (Xu Feiping’s former residence), with its weathered iron gate and doorplate full of stories. Walk to Chujia Garden Café, nestled in a century-old Nanyang courtyard; order pineapple cake with black tea, listen to piano music, and watch the light and shadows dance among the banyan leaves🍃. 7:00 PM At Longtou Road, buy a mango ice dessert from "Big Mango Man," then turn into Haitiantang to watch a nighttime puppet show (60 RMB/person). The intangible cultural heritage string puppetry performs "Little Monk Descends the Mountain," with lighting highlighting the puppets’ delicate expressions, immersing you in Minnan culture🎭. 🍽️ Food Route! Lin Jinji Fish Balls (chewy shark soup🍲), Dayang Seafood Restaurant (super fresh seafood🦞), Lin’s Satay Noodles (rich and fragrant satay flavor!), Zheng Baishun Ginger Duck (a flavorful must-have!), Sugar Village Peanut Soup & Taro Cake (peanut soup sweet but not greasy, taro paste soft and just right) #XiamenFoodAndFun #GulangyuXiamen #ZhongshanRoadXiamen #XiamenCuisine #XiamenTravelGuide #XiamenSummerTrip
