👣Third stop: Stroll from Wanyue Slope to Yefengzhai coastline👣
What follows is a real visual feast! Walk slowly along the coastline, where every step is a view. A seaside road straight out of a fantasy drama? Yes, you're practically in a Korean series! And don't miss the seaside cafe that's not in the bookstore, take a short break, and feel like you're in a romantic afternoon on Jeju Island.
🌅Fourth stop: Zengcuo'an Music Square - Zengshan Station🌅
In the evening, this is a sunset spot you can't miss! Beach, grassland, rocks, and the sun slowly sinking into the horizon, every frame is as beautiful as a painting, casually captured, full of relaxation!

Scallion ginger lobster so fresh it'll make your eyebrows fall off, spicy and fragrant crab paste, sweet and sour plum fish appetizing, and ginger duck so delicious it'll make you lick your fingers! Remember to take away some snail slices or Guanyin shrimp for a late-night snack~
🌊Sixth stop (Easter egg): Pearl Bay Coastal Trail🌊
If you still have energy, consider visiting Pearl Bay. There's also a 'Lonely Tree' and a coastal trail. If time allows, take a leisurely walk, feel the gentle sea breeze, and enjoy the peace and beauty.

Remember this beach in Xiamen!!! So beautiful that you can't help but swear!!
Remember this beach in Xiamen🏝️! It's stunningly beautiful!|||If you only have a limited time to stay and want to visit the only beach in Xiamen, Huangcuo Beach on Huandao Road is the place to be. You can go to Wan Yue Po, and choose to take a taxi or take a bus to the Haiyun Tai station. The sky alternates between clear and overcast, each with its own charm. The photos taken on overcast days were shot on weekdays, while the sunset photos come from the weekends. Along the beach, there are plenty of great spots for sea viewing that bring peace of mind. Standing alone by the seaside trees, the swing sways towards the waves, telling tales of solitude and romance. Wandering along the coastline, every step is a scene. After a walk on the beach, why not explore Zengcuo'an, where the food is tempting. I have tasted it more than ten times, and it's worth the trip.

I just came back from Xiamen and the aftereffects are strong!! Listen to my real feelings
🌤️About the weather
January and February are the coldest moments in Xiamen, with temperatures generally around 15-20 degrees Celsius, sometimes around 10 degrees, and a larger temperature difference between morning and evening. It's recommended to bring thicker clothes
🏨About accommodation
Staying on Xiamen Island, it's suggested to choose hotels from the train station to Zhongshan Road area, as it's more convenient for travel, especially near the subway, since most of Xiamen's attractions are on the island~
🚇About transportation
If you take a high-speed train, it's advised to get off at 'Xiamen Station', which is more convenient as it's in the city center. If you arrive at 'Xiamen North', you can take the BRT or subway line 1 to the island. Gaoqi Airport is on the island, and after leaving the airport, you can take the BRT or the airport bus🚌
🍜About food
Xiamen mainly offers Minnan cuisine, snacks, and seafood, which are generally sweeter and lighter. Those who love spicy food might not be used to it. There are particularly many taro-based dishes
🌊About attractions
Actually, the main thing to do in Xiamen is to see the sea, and the weather is very important for that~ When the weather is good, the sea is very blue and beautiful. Here are a few places I think you must visit
✔️Huangcuo Beach - Play on the Moon Slope
✔️Health Trail Forest Sea Line
✔️Pearl Bay - Zengcuo'an Music Square
✔️Jiageng Park - Ten Mile Long Embankment - Jimei School Village
✔️Shangli Reservoir
✔️Guanyinshan Beach
✔️Zhonggu Cableway
✔️Shapowei - Twin Towers - Yanwu Bridge
🏝️About Gulangyu Island
Remember to buy tickets in advance, and it's recommended to reserve a whole day
⚠️About places to avoid
❌The specialty stores on Zhongshan Road are mostly traps, not recommended to buy, and the snacks are generally not very tasty
❌Zengcuo'an Commercial Street has many rip-offs, most of the food is bad, really don't go there to eat
❌Most of the B&Bs in Zengcuo'an do not match their pictures at all, really not recommended to stay in B&Bs!!
❌Don't believe the so-called native guides or taxi drivers on the roadside, they are all scams, especially taxi drivers who will say they can take you to Little Kinmen (actually Xiang'an Dadeng Island), or deceive you that there are no tickets for Gulangyu and they can help you buy them, don't believe any of it
❌Many seafood sellers in the Eighth Market will rip you off, short-weighting and switching goods, be very careful when buying seafood!! It's suggested to reweigh it at the market entrance!!
❌Don't drive by yourself, there are many people in Xiamen and parking spaces are hard to find, plus it's very congested during holidays. If you drive to Xiamen, park your car at the hotel, it's more convenient to travel by taxi or subway

Xiamen Huangcuo Beach 1/2 Sand Beach Play Moon Slope Exploration
After the New Year, I have been busy until now, this is after the New Year to shoot the Play Moon Slope tree and rushed to explore the road. When I got here, the sun had already set, and it was not dark yet, probably most of the tourists had also left.
1/2 Sand Beach is probably named after the 1/2 coffee shop, right? This stretch of beach is located between Xitou and Huangcuo seaside, and there are many tall trees in the photos along the way, which are quite photogenic, and you can also capture the feeling of tree holes.
I also wanted to find that popular bus, but I guess it was moved away, leaving only a lonely tree.
🌟 Highlights:
The tree is a bit bald now, I guess it will flourish in a month or two.
Be sure to come in the morning to capture a clean, unoccupied image.
📍 Detailed address:
Location: Just locate 'Play Moon Slope' and you're set!

4. Tianquan Pedestrian Square: Continue to move forward, feel the greenery on both sides of the trail, and let your body and mind relax.
5. Pangui Tower: The final destination, where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset scenery. Looking at the Twin Towers, it seems that time has stopped.
We suggest you start from Huangcuo Beach around 3 pm, walk slowly, and appreciate slowly, about 2 hours later you will reach Pangui Tower. It is sunset time, you can wait quietly for the sun to slowly sink below the sea level, and feel that wonderful moment. There are many cafes in the Huangcuo Wanyuepo area that offer beach afternoon tea service, where you can enjoy a wonderful time.
