Shapowei Art Zone 🇨🇳 Xiamen
A district of surprises.
In Shapowei we found handmade crafts, an awesome brewery and tons of tasty treats.
Getting There- A walk around the Xiamen prominade is what we opted for, but a taxi would be easiest.
Attractions- inside you can find trinket shops, fashions stalls, vintage wears, craft beers and a mix of local/wester style food.
Shopping- From window shopping to buy it keepsakes, it's a great little hangout.

Xiamen Travel | Xiamen version of Venice, new literary punching place
This from the Qing Dynasty as a safe haven Shapo, is the source of Xiamen Port. Nowadays it has become the art western district and has become a new literary punching place.
There is such a saying at the end of Shapo, Xiamen weekly art, in the West of the Arts. The Shapowei Market here is the first market in Xiamen to feature retro and original hand-made collections. The booth types include European and American vintage, original handwriting, independent brands, and private kitchen snacks.
The most valuable is also reflected in the heritage of traditional culture. Dragon Ball Hall at No. 58 Shapowei, Xiagang Street. There is a national non-legacy-watching king (official) ship, the captain is 10.58 meters.
In addition, there is a free art studio event every week in the Art West District, which hosts large-scale themed arts and trends every month.

Xiamen: Immersed in the Common Streetscape of Hayao Miyazaki's Animation
Life, in the end, is a journey of no return. Cherish every glimmer of light, even if it has not yet illuminated my shadow. Always believe that those who love life will be favored. Therefore, treasure the present moment. One day, I will see my own shadow gleaming with golden light. Filming location: Shapowei, Xiamen.
I would like to recommend a fantastic walking route for you all. The starting point can be from the Shapowei Art West District, then follow the Shapowei Shelter Harbor to the end, circle back onto the street, and return the same way. Both sides of the Shelter Harbor and University Road are lined with many aesthetically pleasing storefronts and hidden gem shops.
Finally, if the weather is good, you can walk to the viewing platform under the World Trade Twin Towers to enjoy a beautiful sunset.
Notes:
For those driving, you can park your car behind the Shapowei Art West District.
The shops here generally open after 10:30, so there's no need to go too early.
Around 3:30 in the afternoon on a sunny day, the golden light is perfect for taking photos.
There are usually quite a few people taking photos and checking in at the attractive shop fronts, so there's a high chance you'll need to queue. In contrast, there are fewer queues in the Art West District. (If you want to take photos at the shop front, you can do so early in the morning before the shops open).

Xiamen's Shapowei: A Convergence of Art and Youth
🌞 The sun showers over the beautiful coastal city of Xiamen, carrying with me a longing for art and youth, I embarked on a journey to Shapowei. 🌊
🎨 Stepping into Shapowei is like entering a small world brimming with artistry. Colorful graffiti and creative signs are everywhere, exuding a literary atmosphere. 🖼️
☕ I walked into a quaint coffee shop, where the interior is cozy and elegant. Ordering a hand-brewed coffee, I sat by the window, quietly enjoying the tranquility and comfort. Outside the window, the Shapowei Lake glistened, enchantingly beautiful. 💖
🎁 I continued to explore Shapowei, and the roadside craft shops caught my eye. Each piece is filled with creativity and individuality, and I picked out a delicate trinket as a memento of this trip. 💍
🌃 In the evening, the night market at Shapowei was bustling. A variety of food stalls offered an array of choices, with delicious aromas wafting through the air. I tasted the local snacks, savoring the unique flavors of the city. 🍜
🌙 As night fell, I reluctantly left Shapowei. This place is full of artistic charm, a gathering spot for the young. Here, I found a love for life and a dedication to dreams. 💪
💖 I believe that in the days to come, Shapowei will continue to radiate its charm, attracting more people to explore. Looking forward to our next encounter! 💫

Xiamen's cultural landmark, Shapowei, is a must-visit for a complete guide
Xiamen's base colors are yellow and blue, representing the sea, beaches, and blue sky. This is also true for the romantic cultural and creative district of Shapowei. If you're looking for a place that offers photo spots, gourmet food, cultural creativity, and a citywalk experience, then you've found the right place!
🌟 Essential photo spot: The rainbow wall on the third floor of the Art West District main building. Here you can watch the sunset over Shapowei. There's almost always a line of people waiting to take pictures. You can ask the owner of the instant photo shop on the third floor to help you take a picture on the rooftop. The wide format is fantastic for photos, and an instant camera is a worthy possession in life!
Besides, the rooftop next door is also an excellent spot for checking in throughout the Shapowei district. On one side, you can see the mountains, sea, and city all in one, and on the other side, you can take a photo with the Rainbow Bridge and the buildings, and it's not crowded.
🌟 Interesting shops:
The Turkish Craft Pavilion is the epitome of opulence, with beautiful cups, bottles, porcelain paintings, etc. (It's true that the crafts are not cheap)
The Clockwork Cat Art Convenience Store has many posters and albums, which are very friendly to artistic youths. The atmosphere for taking pictures is also great, and many cultural and creative souvenirs have been collected there.

Trip to Xiamen
At the end of the month, I came to the egret city of Xiamen. Indeed, the winter in the south is damp and cold, and the weather is diverse. I have experienced the sea breeze of Gulangyu, tasted the flavor of Satay noodles, watched the sunset, and also caught the winter rain. We have all taken the green skin train, so have you eaten the green skin train? Of course, the green skin train is the name of a puff After eating delicious food and drinking fine wine, with wine and meat, isn't it happy?

Xiamen | Rush to a romance of half sea and half sea-viewing people!
Rush to a romance and tenderness, the romance of Xiamen is never just the sea, 🌊 went to Xiamen, walked around Shapowei, visited Gulangyu, saw the most beautiful coastline, ate various snacks such as Satay noodles, ginger duck, and frozen turrets.
Rush to a sunrise at five o'clock in the morning 🌅, feel the tenderness of Egret Island.
Having lived in Beijing for a long time, the fast-paced busy days, always want to be closer to nature, to empty and find the original self, everything is free, casual, follow, in the unplanned itinerary, to meet, to feel.
At first sight of Xiamen, the humid wind, the boundless sea, is a lively island city, romantic, gentle and comfortable, even a short stay still fell in love with here.

There is such a place in the Shapowei Art District. A blue building is particularly conspicuous. It says that it is a food city. It is a food city where you can gather a variety of Minnan specialties in the Xiaquan Spring. There are three floors in the building, and there are dozens of shops, covering almost all the Minnan specialty snacks, and many of them are from the old heritage, which is the favorite place for food. You don't have to run around, you can taste all the specialties in a region in such a place, and it is very convenient for tourists. The one-stop food experience is no better.
is in the form of a stall. The production process of food can be seen directly. It is visible to consumers, and the most important point is that you can choose food according to your favorite. If you want to see what you want to eat, you can buy it directly. The dried bamboo shoots, sand tea noodles, oyster fried, four fruit soup and so on can be found here.

:Shapowei Art West District eats the castle
When I first knew that it was a food city, I actually refused it, because the food city gave me the impression that it was dirty, but when I approached the fort I have a new understanding of the food city. Here is a collection of famous snacks in Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places. You want to eat the Xiaquan Spring food in Xiamen once and for all.
Transport: Just opposite the Shapo tail, the blue building is obvious.
Environment: There are three floors, and the location is very loose. There are dozens of snacks to say.

A piece of Wenqing Oasis in cement city
If you are in Xiamen and don't want to be entangled with a large number of group members, then I recommend you go to Shapowei Art West District. This is the young cultural and art district that rises on the edge of the sheltered sand dune in Xiamen. This area is the old town, there are no high-rise buildings, no modern commercial street, but it has been favored by many young people and niche artists. Into the door, a small fresh literary atmosphere.
Now people are under too much pressure. They always want to find a space that can be easily taken in the city's cement barriers. These art areas came into being. There are a lot of small shops here, some of which are particularly interesting, such as the uninhabited self-help green plant, filled with cute and healing fleshy, you like to take it, then scan the code to pay the expenses you feel, and no one is supervised. There are also handicraft grocery stores, travel photography studios, graffiti walls, and skateboarding areas.
On weekends, there are also a variety of themed markets, such as the retro market, the Buddhist market, and the travel market. Under the blue sky and white clouds of the southern country, the beautiful environment is very suitable for taking pictures. No wonder the young ladies and sisters here are dressed very beautiful~!
Small reminder: Most of the market is open from 10:00 to 11:00. In the afternoon, there is a lot of people in the west of Shapowei Art. If you like quiet, you can come in the morning.

Xiamen Xiaoqing's new Shapowei
in Xiamen's tourist landmark 101, Shapo's tail is not in C position. There is no petty bourgeoisie in Gulangyu. It is not as prosperous as Zhongshan Road, but it is a favorite place for local people. It used to be The sheltered docks of the old Xiamen Port, the wooden plank roads along the river, and the rusted iron rings are witnesses to the historical footprints. Today, Shapowei is a gathering place of Wenqing surrounded by a group of young people.
Shapowei Art West is like a fresh blood flowing under the skin of the ancient Shapo tail. It is full of vitality but also "contaminated" with the low-key "habit" of Shapowei. It is a very good photo-taking place.
Walk in the art district to visit specialty shops, or sip in the cafe, or enjoy some art, there will be different harvests. When the sun is shining, the breeze blows over the cheeks, gentle and cozy.
Amy..
Shapo's tail is not far from Zengcuo. The name comes from the end of a large section of beach. It was built as a dock for fishing boats. Now, although it has a safe haven, it is no longer Stop the fishing boat. Nowadays, the end of Shapo is full of artistic atmosphere. The walls are full of colorful graffiti. Even the electric box is painted with beautiful patterns. The colorful is very suitable for couples. It is said that the success rate of marriage proposal will be improved a lot. . At the end of Shapo, you can be in a daze, you can hang out, or have a cup of afternoon tea in a cafe. In short, the slow time here is intoxicating.
Travel master cao.
Speaking of the gathering place of Xiamen's influx of people, Shapowei Art West is considered to be the favorite of young people, and it is also the most dynamic creative area, a place full of culture and youth. The young cultural and art district rising on the edge of the Shapowei sheltered wind,
