I've just returned from Xiamen, brimming with travel tips and some hard truths I need to tell you! Xiamen in May is unbelievably beautiful, but there are also plenty of tourist traps. Don't worry, I'm here to help you avoid them! 🌩️🎒 📌 Don't go to the wrong ferry terminal for Gulangyu; the Xiamen-Gulangyu Terminal is the way to go. Don't waste a trip! 🚤 💰 Luxury ferry ticket? Forget it! A regular ticket for 35r will do the trick, spending that extra 1 yuan to go upstairs is really not worth it! 💸 ⏰ Arrive at the terminal 50 minutes early; if you're late, you lose everything, as ferry tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable. Missing it is like throwing away a piece of waste paper! ⏳ 🛍️ Don't buy things on Gulangyu; the prices on the island are frighteningly high! 💸 🌿 Enter the Wanshi Botanical Garden through the west gate; the popular succulent garden is just a stone's throw away.

If you're choosing a destination for the May Day holiday, Xiamen is undoubtedly an excellent choice. But instead of the typically crowded attractions on the main island, I'd like to recommend an "alternative Xiamen tour" that helps you avoid the crowds while enjoying picturesque beauty. Why Choose This Experience authentic culture and cuisine in Xiamen's lesser-known spots. Recommended Routes 1.1 Island Tour: Pingdou Island In the ambiguous time and sunlight, Pingdou Island is a great choice to escape the hustle and bustle. This uninhabited small island features emerald waters and fine sandy beaches. With a circumference of only about 1 kilometer, a walking tour allows you to experience the tranquility and beauty of nature. 1.2 Secret Spots on Gulangyu Island Tourists on Gulangyu Island often gather at major attractions near the ferry terminal, but at Gongwan Beach or other paths far from the terminal, you can discover many hidden scenic spots and enjoy your own exclusive space. Recommended Ways to Explore 2.1 Self-driving or Car Rental To avoid the extremely crowded public transportation, you can choose to drive yourself or rent a car. This not only allows you to arrange your itinerary freely but also lets you personally experience Xiamen's unique charm. 2.2 Early Rise or Late Return Choose to travel during off-peak hours - the sunrise in the early morning and sunset in the evening are the most anticipated moments. Food Recommendations 3.1 Popular Xiamen Restaurant - Abalone Porridge Although this restaurant doesn't advertise much, it's a local favorite, especially for their ginseng abalone porridge, which is deliciously authentic. 3.2 Local Snacks Fish balls, sea slugs, lobster rice... authentic Southern Fujian flavors can be found in these inconspicuous stalls and shops. 4. Slow Travel Experience Tips Transportation: If you're driving, plan your parking spots in advance. It might be difficult to find suitable parking during crowded periods on the main island. Clothing: It's recommended to wear light, breathable clothes and bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Reservations: If you have specific restaurants in mind, remember to book in advance to avoid arriving at a full house. Membership Card: Apply for a Xiamen tourism membership card in advance to enjoy discounts on various attraction tickets. If the main island of Xiamen is a lively feast, then this lesser-known route is an exquisite private banquet. If you're tired of the crowds and looking for a place to quietly enjoy your holiday, why not try this alternative path and discover a different Xiamen?

The Tulou is far from Xiamen, but it's definitely worth a visit.

#discoverchina I visited Jimei School Village in Xiamen and really enjoyed its peaceful and cultural vibe. Founded by Tan Kah Kee in 1913, the area is home to many schools and beautiful buildings that mix Chinese and Western styles. One highlight is Turtle Garden, a quiet place with stone carvings and the Jimei Liberation Monument. The nearby lake is great for a walk, especially during dragon boat races. The area is free to enter and open all day. I recommend going in the morning for fewer crowds. It’s a lovely place to learn about Xiamen’s history and enjoy the scenery.

You can stroll behind the hotel to the night view and go to Aoyuan and Jimei Academy Village

Impressions of Fujian and Xiamen: A City's Poetic Dwelling In the southeastern corner of Fujian, Xiamen lies like a smooth shell, embracing thousand years of sea breeze and daily life. Here you'll find both the grandeur of waves crashing against reefs and the serenity of tea-scented old streets. To truly understand Xiamen, one must go beyond popular tourist spots and delve into its essence, feeling the warmth, cultural charm, and history hidden in the folds of time. 1. Warm Xiamen: A Kind-Hearted Home in the Bustle of City Life Xiamen's warmth lies in its details. In the early morning at the Eighth Market, amid the fishmongers' calls and salty sea air, a grandmother smilingly offers you a bowl of freshly made peanut soup, urging you to "drink it while it's hot." If you get lost, an old man fanning himself in the alley will guide you in authentic Minnan dialect: "Go straight ahead, turn the corner, and you'll reach Nanputuo Temple!" In the guesthouses of Zengcuoan, hosts often prepare Iron Guanyin tea and invite you to gather around the tea table, sharing stories of how a fishing village transformed into an artistic community. Amid the tea's fragrance, you can feel the city's pulse - never turning anyone away, but gently incorporating travelers into its daily rhythm. 2. Cultural Wanderings: A Symphony of Art and History Gulangyu Island is Xiamen's most touching poem. Under Sunlight Rock, the European-style villas were once overseas Chinese's connection to their homeland. Walking on stone-paved paths, piano music drifts from courtyards covered in bougainvillea, reminiscent of Lin Yutang's "Piano Island" from a century ago. To avoid crowds, follow the courtyard light at Wormhole Bookstore, read "Tales of Gulangyu" in a century-old foreign house, letting words converse with architecture. At Shapowei, old fishing port masts create fascinating chemistry with modern art graffiti. Spend an afternoon in a glass workshop crafting a wave-patterned ring, or pause at Fat Fat Beer Horse's terrace to watch the sunset paint the harbor orange - this is Xiamen's "coexistence of old and new." 3. Historical River: Living Heritage of Minnan Spirit Atop Hulishan Fortress, the Krupp cannon platform seems to echo with gunfire from the First Sino-Japanese War in the salty breeze. The weathered bullet marks tell tales of this "Southern Gate's" remarkable years. Walking into Jimei School Village, the red-tiled upturned eaves of Tan Kah Kee architecture complement Western colonnade, while Mr. Chen Jiageng's dedication to education still ripples through the Dragon Boat Pool. Deeper history lies within the arcade buildings of Zhongshan Road. Past the "Zebei Gantang" archway, visit the Huang Clan Ancestral Hall of Jiangxia Hall, where a 600-year-old oyster shell well still nourishes daily life. Around the corner, Lanqin Ancient House's wooden carved doorframes with Nanyang patterns silently tell stories of migration to Southeast Asia. These fragments piece together the Minnan people's "dare to strive and win" spirit. 4. Culinary Delights: Gifts from Sea and Mountain Xiamen's cuisine is a love letter written by mountains and sea. Satay noodles' rich broth swirls with Southeast Asian spices and local seafood, while crystal jelly holds fishermen's wisdom. At old establishments on Kaiyuan Road, watch grandpa fry five-spice rolls until sizzling, always adding: "Dip in sweet chili sauce for authentic taste!" For the most genuine flavors, follow fishermen to Gaoqi Fishing Port before dawn, watch returning boats unload dewy round scad, and celebrate freshness with blanched fish and soy sauce at dockside stalls. 5. Hidden Routes: Gentle Embrace with Time Dawn and Dusk: Wait for sunrise at Huangcuo Beach, watching the sun leap from Kinmen's direction; take an evening Lujiang cruise, letting Yanwu Bridge's flowing lights and Gulangyu's silhouette dance in your glass. Through Time: Start from Nanputuo Temple's morning bells, pass Xiamen University's Fuxing Tunnel graffiti wall, to Shapowei Art West District, experiencing Tang-Song incense, Republican elegance, and contemporary avant-garde in one day. Mountain and Sea Date: Hike the Linhai Health Trail, overlook "Xiamen's Little Switzerland" from Wanshi Cliffs, gaze at Greater and Lesser Kinmen from Pangui Tower, let sea breeze scatter your thoughts into clouds. Xiamen's beauty lies in its effortlessness. Like the royal poinciana stretching over old alley walls, blooming naturally yet helping passing travelers suddenly understand "poetic dwelling." As locals often say: "In Xiamen, don't rush the journey, experience it."

It's a one-bedroom suite, spacious and bright. The living room has a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the bedroom has a 270-degree floor-to-ceiling window. Even the bathroom area has a large floor-to-ceiling window, making washing up very enjoyable. The whole room feels very large, yet cozy. The room's amenities are also carefully selected, and the bedding is very comfortable! If the weather is good, you can watch the sunrise and sunset over the sea directly from your room! -🍰 In the hotel's executive lounge, you can enjoy sunset afternoon tea. It also has a huge floor-to-ceiling window, directly facing the sunset in the west. The afternoon tea desserts and coffee are both excellent! -🥘 The hotel's Chinese restaurant combines Cantonese and Fujian cuisine. You can eat authentic Cantonese dim sum here, as well as local Minnan dishes! -🚴 The hotel is located in Jimei District, not far from Jimei's various must-see attractions. We visited Jimei School Village, which has many photo spots and many delicious and fun small shops. Personally, I feel it's more interesting than Gulangyu Island!
