A delightful afternoon calls for a visit to Shapowei to play with dogs!

This place is a microcosm of Xiamen's urban history. Shapowei! Also a treasure trove for photography! Especially during sunset! Don’t ask why I didn’t go earlier— Mornings are just too hot. I stumbled upon this place by chance. 📍 Chacha's Hug House Royal-style afternoon tea and dog petting 🐶 Their decor is like a royal palace, with eight well-behaved royal companion dogs. Perfect for capturing heartwarming moments. 📸 Hidden rooftop photo spot: ✅ Garden terrace under the Twin Towers ✅ Graffiti with dog-themed comics ✅ Gazing at the city with a giant dog, like a scene from a Miyazaki film ✅ Or simply daydreaming by the sunset dock!

Shapowei Art Zone

🎨🍜 Weekend Wandering in Xiamen: Shapowei’s Vibrant Art Vibes If you're seeking a cool, creative escape, head to Shapowei! This riverside district blends urban art, indie coffee shops, and street eats for a laidback weekend treat. The area’s murals, quirky cafés, and easy-going atmosphere make it perfect for art lovers and foodies alike. 🗺️ Recommended Route: Start early at Shapowei Art Zone (No. 60 Shapowei, Xiamen; open 10:30–22:00). Stroll along the main alleys to soak up rotating graffiti, outdoor installations, and artisan boutiques. Pause for a hand-crafted coffee or local dessert at the cafés tucked amid street walls. Continue your walk toward the riverside for breezy vibes and picturesque landscapes, especially at sunset. 📸 Insta-worthy Angles: Don’t miss snaps in front of bold murals along the Art Zone, the colorful facades by university road, and shots overlooking the water with city backdrops. The vintage signboards and street-art corners are perfect for creative portraits! 🥢 Must-do Experiences: Sample street food—crispy oyster omelette and peanut soup are local favorites. Drop into tiny galleries and pop-up shops for handmade souvenirs. Join in a weekend music jam or mini art workshop if you spot one happening. 🧠 Practical Tips: Shapowei is super walkable, just 110m northeast of the Xiamen University entrance. Come hungry and bring cash for small vendors. Weekends are livelier, but weekday afternoons are a bit quieter if you prefer less bustle. ⚠️ Precautions: Watch for slippery pavements after rain, and mind traffic when hopping between alleys. #Xiamen #WeekendGetaway #ArtStreet #StreetFood #UrbanExploration

Shapowei

Shapowei is located in Siming District, Xiamen, close to Xiamen University. As a small neighborhood that combines fishing port style and cultural and creative atmosphere, it has become a super popular photo hotspot in recent years. Walking through this area, you will find many small cultural and creative shops, handicraft workshops, specialty coffee shops, and local snacks and seafood, which are perfect for travelers who like slow life and like to take pictures. You don't need to charge a ticket to walk the entire end of the sand slope. If you want to enjoy the afternoon leisurely, you can come and walk around anytime. Recommended tour routes and must-see photo spots: It is recommended to start at the University Road entrance and walk all the way in along the Arts West. First, you can take a background photo of the fishing boat at the harbor to feel the atmosphere of the fishing port in the past. This will be followed by a row of colorful old buildings and graffiti on the exterior walls, making it a must-see for taking pictures. Further on, the streets are lined with small cultural and creative shops, many with local artists designed jewelry and lifestyle groceries. Many shops are open for people to experience handicrafts on the spot. Don’t miss the signature ice cream parlors and cafes, such as the Cat’s Sky City Bookstore Cafe, where you can take photos and enjoy a drink. Food Recommendations: There are many kinds of snacks in Sha Po Wei. It is recommended to try the authentic oyster pan-fried, Sha Cha Noodles and Hua Zhi Wan. There are also several handmade ice cream shops near the pier. It's very comfortable to enjoy a cup of ice cream right after taking pictures in hot weather. Attraction tips: 1. The end of Shapo is open all year round, and there is no ticket, you can flexibly arrange the time, it is recommended to choose the afternoon to evening time to come, the sun is slanting, photography effect is good. 2. The scope is not large, stroll along the way to check in food, 2-3 hours is just right, want to slowly explore can stay longer. 3. More crowds on holidays, it is recommended to come on weekdays will be more comfortable; encounter some popular Cafe may need to queue. 4. Many cultural and creative shops but smaller scale, some only accept cash or Alipay, remember to be prepared in advance. Notes: Sha Po Mei belongs to the old area. If it rains, there will sometimes be water on the ground. Remember to wear hiking shoes or sneakers. The public toilet facilities in the area are simpler and the restaurants are denser. If necessary, you can enter the Cafe to borrow. Shops and restaurants may close early at night, if you come later in the evening remember to pay attention to the restaurant/small shop closing time.
