Roaming Xiamen Attractions Sweeten All Seasons

Xiamen’s attractions are like a spilled jar of candy, leaving a sweet joy wherever you go~🥳​ 🏯Gulangyu Island・Melodies of the Piano Island​ The ferry gently docks, bougainvillea climbs the red brick walls like a floral necklace for the old villas🎀 Dive into the alleys to find piano sounds, the melody of black and white keys blending with the waves. Around the corner, the old ice parlor smells of mango, scoop a spoonful of shaved ice, the coolness slides down your throat, even the cats sit at the door waiting to be fed. Sitting in Shuzhuang Garden watching the sea, the Forty-Four Bridges circle the seawater like a mirror, reflecting blue skies and white clouds, as if stepping into a fairy tale~​ 🌿Botanical Garden・The Green Wonderland​ The rainforest area’s mist wraps the sunlight, traveler’s banana leaves hang like green curtains, walking in feels like stepping into clouds☁️ In the succulent area, cacti hold little yellow flowers, plump spheres squeezed together, can’t help but flash a peace sign when taking photos, their shadows look like playing Jenga. By the lake, a black swan suddenly dives into the water, grabs a lotus leaf as a hat, making children clap and laugh, startling a flock of egrets to skim over the water~​ 🌸Nanputuo Temple・Zen Charm of Red Walls​ Yellow tiles and red walls hidden among banyan trees, the scent of incense mixed with magnolia is super healing. The vegetarian restaurant’s taro paste is as fluffy as clouds, a bite so sweet it makes your tongue tremble🍠 The red wall and bamboo shadows make a natural backdrop, wearing light-colored dresses for photos, the hem and light play hide and seek, even passing grandmas smile and say “Shui o” (so beautiful). Turning into a small alley, the old bookstore’s wooden door creaks “squeak,” old postcards stamped with postmarks from ten years ago~​ 🎨Shapowei・Wave of Art and Culture​ Old factory walls covered with colorful vines and graffiti, handmade vendors shaking shell earrings. Sitting in a container café, watching fishing boats pass the shelter, ripples like silver ribbons tied on the sea🎨 The owner of a cultural shop teaches how to draw Minnan dialect comics, the word “joy” is drawn as a smiling face, super healing. Evening oyster omelet stalls emit aroma, the uncle flips the omelet with a spatula, egg wrapped oysters gleam golden, paired with a bowl of iced four-fruit soup, cool and refreshing to cut the grease~​ 🍧Sweet Treats on the Tongue​ ✔️Gulangyu’s shark ball soup, chewy and bursting with fresh juice that makes you lick the bowl clean​ ✔️Nanputuo’s vegetarian cake, green bean paste filling so sweet it makes you smile shyly​ ✔️Shapowei’s wheel cakes, taro paste lava so hot it makes you stick out your tongue​ 💡Roaming Tips​ Wear light-colored clothes, super photogenic with bougainvillea and red walls~ Bring a small umbrella, shade on sunny days and shield from drizzle on rainy days. Pack a canvas bag in your backpack to hold the cakes you buy and your happiness~​ Xiamen’s attractions balance romance just right, from morning light to starry night, every step is sweet. Come and fill your pockets with joy~💖
