1. Don't let mismanagement ruin the glory of a scenic spot, learn from China's only bankrupt 5A scenic spot

Coming to Xiamen for a vacation is truly comfortable!🌊 This coastal city has both artistic charm and local life, and you can have a fulfilling trip in just 3 days~ 🚶‍♀️Day 1: Must-visit route for art lovers 📍Shapowei: An old fishing port transformed into an artistic district, with many popular cafes and creative shops. Every shot is an Instagram-worthy masterpiece. 📍Xiamen University: One of China's most beautiful universities. Remember to book in advance! The graffiti wall in Furong Tunnel is a must-visit spot. 📍Huandao Road (Island Ring Road): Rent a bicycle and cycle along the coastline. Watching the sunset in Zengcuo'an in the evening is super romantic. 🍜Day 2: Experience Old Xiamen Charm 📍Gulangyu Island: Buy ferry tickets in advance on the ferry company's official WeChat account (gzh)! Shuzhuang Garden, Sunlight Rock, and the Most Beautiful Corner are three must-visit attractions. The old villa complex on the island is also great for photos📸. 📍Bashi Wet Market: Xiamen's most authentic food hub. Recommended: A Jie Wuxiang (Five Spice), Zhuji Hand-Shredded Chicken, Huiyuan Bakery (fried bread is a must-try!). 📍Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street: The Nanyang arcade buildings are very distinctive, and the lights at night are stunning. ⛵Day 3: Island Leisure Time 📍Botanical Garden: Admission 40 yuan. The Succulent Plant Area and Rainforest World (note the misting times) are the most photogenic. 📍Zhonggu Cableway: Offers panoramic views of Xiamen. It's recommended to go in the evening. 📍Huangcuo Beach: Fewer people than Baicheng Beach, with finer and softer sand, perfect for relaxing and sunbathing. 🍤Food Guide: 1. Sili Satay Noodles (Hubin Sili Branch) - a local favorite 2. 202 Food Stall (fresh seafood, reasonable prices) 3. Jiawei Zaitian Snack Shop (Taro Buns, Chive Boxes are amazing) 4. Ye's Mochi on Gulangyu Island (cash only!) 💡Practical Tips: - Xiamen Metro currently has 3 lines, which can reach most attractions. - Taxi starting fare is 10 yuan, and rides between attractions are not expensive. - March-May and September-November are the best seasons for travel. - During peak season, be sure to buy Gulangyu ferry tickets in advance! For accommodation, Zhongshan Road or Zengcuo'an area is recommended, as both transportation and food are convenient~ I also discovered many hidden photo spots this time, which I'll share in the next post!
