[2025 Xiamen Attraction] Travel Guide for Jiageng Park (Updated Apr)

Xiamen is beautiful, but I don’t want to come next time An average of 20,000 steps a day, my legs are worn out! The traffic in Xiamen during the May Day holiday is a disaster. There is no subway along the coastal line. It takes more than 1 hour to take a taxi or a bus in a traffic jam of six or seven stations. There are few shared bicycles and it is difficult to return them. Basically, you have to rely on your own two feet to get to every place. Cycling around the island is also a waste of time. Blue sky, blue sea, golden sand beach and orange sea sunset are the established impressions of Xiamen and also the long-cherished vision. Before we went, we checked the weather forecast almost every day. Although it was cloudy and rainy during the May Day holiday, we were advised not to go, but I was stubborn and didn’t listen! Fortunately, it only rained on the last day we went to Gulangyu Island, but it stopped after a while. Xiamen is really beautiful on a sunny day! There are so many people that you have to queue up to take photos and check in (and it’s quite orderly). The only regret is that I didn’t see the orange sky in Xiamen for a few days. I hope the following tips can help you. 🌲Botanical Garden: For the shuttle bus in the park, don’t buy a pass during holidays!!! Because you can’t wait for the bus at all, and the queuing time is wasted! Bell and Drum Cableway: If you don't make an online reservation, you can go directly to the offline store! The staff will ask you to scan the code → constantly refresh the remaining tickets, it's easy to grab Citywalk: After walking, I found that there are two options. You can take the subway to Zhongshan Park Station and exit at Exit 3A; the express line can take you to Ershi Station, which is very close to the "Xiamen is Good" check-in wall and the flower and bird market; Tan Kah Kee Park: near the sea, great for taking photos! But be careful of 🐭; Eat | C | Recommended & Avoid Eight cities Ajie's Shacha Noodles (near the Eighth Market, Shacha Noodles are a disaster) Shacha pork tenderloin (10 skewers, taste is average) Sea cucumber jelly ($15 small portion of 6 pieces with mustard, delicious 😋) Sanjin Seafood Food Stall (Inside the Eighth Market, a bit expensive and not tasty, a bad idea❗) Xiamen University & Botanical Garden & Zhongshan Road Baijiacun Haodelai Ginger Duck (near Zhongshan Park subway station, Internet celebrity restaurant, long queue for fried chicken + small quantity + salty, overall average experience ❌) Four Fruit Soup (I can’t remember the name of the shop, it’s about 100 meters opposite the Ginger Duck Shop, turn right, the milk tea tastes good 😋 and has plenty of small ingredients, I like the tangerine peel in it) Xinxin, ginger duck. Seafood, Minnan cuisine (near Xiamen University, affordable and delicious 😋) Taoxi.Laoxiamen Private Kitchen (near Zhongshan Road, the taste is pretty good, the smoked bamboo shoots and fried pork are very good 🉑) Jimei ~ Shigu Road Snack Street Yangfujiang Mochi (Shigu Road, Jimei, ice cream and crispy skin 👍🏻) Lin Ji Four Fruit Soup (the yogurt one is average, the coconut milk one/:ok overall not as good/:ok the one you said is delicious) The story of pickled mustard greens (very thin, taste/:ok) Mr. Xiao's hot and sour noodles (very 🉑! Sichuan and Chongqing people will really miss this when they are away from home! )

Jiageng Garden is home to a Turtle Garden designed by noted Singaporean philanthropist Tan Kah Kee (AKA Chen Jiageng). The garden covers 30,000m2, of which buildings take up 5,500m2. Laid out like a traditional Chinese garden, it contains pavilions, terraces, open halls, small bridges over flowing streams, and patches of shaded greenery. Together, the Jiageng and Turtle Gardens are truly radiant, with each bringing out the charm of the other.

Of course, niche attractions often hide unexpected beauty. Fewer people and beautiful scenery are the most worthwhile places to check in during your trip! In the hot summer, I have prepared a nanny-level strategy for you that will not let you go back. It is guaranteed to make you have fun! Jimei Tour Guide for Hot Summer 1️⃣ Jimei Park A must-visit place in Jimei, you must not miss it! Now you don't need to make an appointment, just go in! Open from 8:00 to 17:30. Learn about history at the Chen Jiageng Memorial Hall, check in at the monument, and feel the weight of culture. The scenery by the sea is even more breathtaking when the tide is high! 2️⃣ Nandi Park This is a niche park that only locals know. You can see the sea train passing by, and occasionally there are planes flying across the sky. There is a "lonely tree" in the park, which is very suitable for taking photos. If you like quietness, don't miss it! 3️⃣ Lehai Park This is a niche observation platform full of artistic sense. The pure white minimalist design style is amazing. This is a local's favorite place for walking. You can also go fishing here and experience different kinds of fun!

1. Jiageng Park: Enter from the west gate, and you'll be greeted by a stunning seawall. Be sure to check the tide schedule; the seawall is most beautiful an hour after the tide starts to recede. Walking on the seawall wet by the sea gives a very mystical feeling. 2. Jimei Grand Village: This area still retains many old Xiamen shops. It has only become popular in the last two years, so there aren't many tourists. There are many interesting and artistic small shops to explore at your leisure. When you get tired, you can buy some homemade snacks from the roadside grandmas, which is very comforting. 3. Dragon Boat Pond: Walk all the way to the end, and you'll find a very beautiful section that feels like a mini Bund in Shanghai. If you visit on the weekend, you'll see many people strolling around. 4. Shigu Road: This is a snack street near Jimei University, mostly frequented by students. The prices are very reasonable, and there are many small shops that have been open for over a decade, worth trying. 5. Nandi Park: You can see the Xiamen Bridge from here, along with a solitary tree on an island and many fishing boats. 6. Lehai Park: This park was newly built in the last two years. You can see the Jimei Bridge from here, and many locals come here for a walk in the evening. You can also go to the bridgehead to catch the sea. 7. Water Sports Center: This place hides a very niche park, especially beautiful at sunset around 5 PM. There's also an abandoned pier where many people fish. 📷📷📷 When you come to Xiamen, be sure to set aside a day for Jimei. It won't disappoint you.

Tour route: Shigu Street Night Market – Dasha – Jiageng Park – Dragon Boat Park – Cycling on the Sea Bicycle Path – Jimei Bridge Beach. Day 2 and 3: Take Metro Line 1 from Jimei School Village to the island. You will encounter the most beautiful Miyazaki-style sea metro at Neicuo. You can stay near Wenzhao Metro Station or near Xiamen University. Day 2: Take a ferry to Gulangyu Island. You can stay for one night or leave at 6 PM. There are many beautiful attractions on the island. Detailed Gulangyu guide will be in the next post – Ba Market – Zhongshan Road Food.
