Roaming Xiamen Attractions Sweetly Filling the Mountains and Seas

Xiamen's attractions are like little candy balls, sweet all along the way～🥳​ 🌊 Gulangyu Island・Sunlight Rock​ The moment you climb to the rooftop terrace, you’re dazzled by the beauty! Red tile roofs form a colorful carpet, white waves wrap around the island in the distance, and the breeze carries the scent of bougainvillea and piano music 🎹 The statue of Zheng Chenggong halfway up the mountain gazes at the sea, his skirt billowing in the wind as if ready to step into the waves at any moment. Around the corner, buy a skewer of fish balls; the chewy filling bursts, fresh juice splashing on your nose, amusing the orange cat by the roadside who tilts its head to watch 🐱​ 🌿 Nanputuo Temple・Red Walls and Bamboo Shadows​ Yellow tiles and red walls hidden among banyan trees, the scent of incense mixed with magnolia is super soothing. The vegetarian restaurant’s taro paste is as dense as clouds, a bite so sweet it makes your tongue tremble. Step out and turn into a small alley, the wooden door of the old bookstore creaks “creak,” and the shop owner hands you a hand-drawn map with dried phoenix flower petals pressed inside the pages 📜​ 🎡 Botanical Garden・Rainforest Secret Realm​ When the mist rises, it feels like entering a fairyland! Traveler’s banana leaves hang like green curtains, sunlight filters through the gaps casting golden spots, photos look like they have a soft light filter 🌵 The succulent area’s “giant cactus” holds up little yellow flowers; crouch down for a photo, shadows falling on the plump spheres like playing Jenga. By the lake, a black swan suddenly dives into the water, grabbing a lotus leaf as a hat, making the kids clap and laugh～​ 🎨 Shapowei・Artistic Old Alley​ Old factory walls covered with colorful graffiti vines, handmade stall owners waving shell earrings back and forth. Sitting on the stone steps of the wind shelter, watching fishing boats return stirring silver waves, the ice jelly seller hands you a bowl flavored with brown sugar, ice crystals mixed with hawthorn bits, chilling your tongue to a tremble 🍧​ 🍜 Bajishi Market・Lively Flavors​ Under the arcade, oyster omelets sizzle with oil, the uncle flips them with a bamboo spatula, egg coating the oysters shining golden, sprinkled with chopped cilantro that makes you salivate. Around the corner, the mochi stall plays new tricks, sticky rice balls wrapped with mango chunks, biting into chewy sweetness mixed with fruity aroma 🥭​ 💡 Roaming Tips​ Wear light-colored dresses, perfect for photos with Nanputuo’s red walls～ Bring a bottle of mosquito repellent, the little mosquitoes in the Botanical Garden’s rainforest area will “act cute” and get close to you.
