#Mainland Travel Walking in Xiamen, the charm of this city always flows between the steel frames and the waves. If you want to feel the pulse of the skyline, you can't miss the Shimao Twin Towers - when dusk permeates the Lujiang River, the two silver towers turn into flowing lighthouses. From the 58-floor observation deck, you can overlook the lights of thousands of homes pouring like a galaxy of stars. Even the sea breeze is wrapped in the aroma of cloud-top coffee, making you reluctant to blink. The golden arc of Baicheng Beach is the most gentle brushstroke of Xiamen. When the tide is out, the fine sand wrapped in shells gently kisses the ankles, and the footprints of lovers are always hidden as a secret by the waves. At dusk, the setting sun gilded the Yanwu Bridge. Children chased the waves holding glowing bouquets. Their laughter mixed with the sound of the waves, turning ordinary days into poetry. The old arcades on Zhongshan Road are the soul of the city. Under the carved columns with Nanyang style, the steam from the satay noodles reflects a century of history. The old lady's reminders when she brought out the earthworm jelly, intertwined with the sound of guitar from the cultural and creative store next door, and even the breath carried the sweetness of old-fashioned flavor. These three sceneries are just like the triple rhyme of Xiamen: the tower spires write the future, the waves compose the present, and the old streets always brew the honey of time.

Must-See Landmark in Xiamen: Shimao Straits Twin Towers When visiting Xiamen, don’t miss the iconic Shimao Straits Twin Towers—also known as the Xiamen Twin Towers.

📍Itinerary Introduction 🚩Travel route 🏖️Check-in attractions 🚇Transportation 📷Shadow Phase 🍜Special Food 🏠Accommodation recommendations 1. Hotel Indigo Xiamen Harbour (Zhongshan Road Branch) 💡Notes:

#discoverchina#xiamenskyline #stunningviews During my trip to Xiamen, I visited the iconic Twin Towers, or Shuangzi Tower, a modern landmark that offers breathtaking views of the city and coastline. These impressive skyscrapers stand tall in the heart of Xiamen, making them an ideal spot for both sightseeing and photography. Reaching the Twin Towers was quite convenient. I took the metro to the nearest station, which was only a short walk away from the towers. The location is central and easily accessible, making it a great addition to any Xiamen itinerary. The highlight of my visit was going up to the observation deck. From there, I was able to take in panoramic views of Xiamen, including its busy streets, the coastline, and nearby islands. The towers also have shopping malls and restaurants, which made it easy to spend several hours exploring. The surrounding area is perfect for a leisurely stroll, with plenty of cafes and shops to enjoy. 💕Why I Recommend It: I highly recommend visiting the Twin Towers for anyone looking to get a bird’s-eye view of Xiamen and its surroundings. The modern architecture and stunning views make it a must-see for photography lovers and anyone interested in experiencing Xiamen from a unique perspective. Whether you're into urban landscapes or just looking for a great spot to relax, the Twin Towers offer a memorable experience.

Xiamen, this beautiful coastal city, is undoubtedly a shining pearl on China's southeast coast. Its charm lies not only in its sparkling coastline and mesmerizing sunsets, but also in its fresh and delicious seafood and ubiquitous artistic atmosphere. ✅Your Xiamen trip can be planned like this: ➡️Day 1: Bathe in the morning light of Gulangyu Island, stroll through the "Most Beautiful Corner," and discover unexpected surprises at every turn. Afterwards, climb Sunlight Rock for a panoramic view of the island, then visit the historic Shuzhuang Garden to experience Xiamen's historical charm. ➡️Day 2: Feel the gentle caress of the waves at Huangcuo Beach, then head to Jimei School Village to experience Xiamen's cultural atmosphere. Take a walk along the Ten-Mile Long Embankment, and finally arrive at Xiamen Twin Towers or Eighth Market to experience the city's modernity and prosperity. ➡️Day 3: In the morning, listen to the Buddhist chants at Nanputuo Temple and feel the tranquility of your soul. Then, visit Xiamen Botanical Garden to experience the serenity of nature. In the afternoon, take the Zhonggu Cable Car for a bird's-eye view of Xiamen, and finally experience the simplicity and tranquility of the fishing village at Shapowei. ✅Getting around Xiamen is very convenient: ➡️Fly to Gaoqi Airport, and the island's buses will take you conveniently to every corner of the city. If you choose to travel by bullet train or high-speed rail, Xiamen Railway Station is located in Siming District, and you can start your journey as soon as you get off. The city has a well-developed bus and subway network. It is recommended to use mobile apps for taxis, which is more convenient. ✅Regarding accommodation, Xiamen offers a variety of options: ➡️Zhongshan Road area, as the city center, offers a rich shopping and dining experience. Near Xiamen University, there are many affordable homestays, close to Nanputuo Temple, with a quiet environment. Along the Huandao Road, the sea view is unparalleled, and it's a great place for cycling, but the accommodation cost is relatively high. Zengcuoan is close to the seaside, but it is not recommended. Gulangyu Island requires a ferry to get there and back, and accommodation needs to be booked in advance. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, the area near Pearl Bay is a good choice. ✅Xiamen's popular attractions include: ➡️Xiamen University, Huandao Road, Nanputuo Temple, Botanical Garden, Huangcuo Beach, Zhonggu Cable Car, Subway Line 1, Jimei School Village, Baicheng Beach, Sunlight Rock, Xiamen Science and Technology Museum, Most Beautiful Corner, Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, Eighth Market, etc. 🦀Speaking of Xiamen's cuisine, there are many choices, but you also need to be careful to avoid pitfalls. Generally speaking, choosing old restaurants or chain stores is more reliable. For example, Dayang Seafood Restaurant on Zhongshan Road has a long history and excellent reputation, and the king crab three ways at its Gulangyu branch is worth trying. For oyster omelets, Longyang Linshi is recommended, while Lin Jinji Fish Balls are known for their affordable price and delicious soup. In addition, Xiangmantang's ginger duck is a must-try delicacy.

Xiamen Travel Notes: Finding a Rest for the Soul in the Intertwining of Time Xiamen, a city embedded between the blue sea and blue sky, attracts countless travelers with its unique charm. During this trip, I entered the embrace of Xiamen with awe of history, exploration of culture, and love of life. [Awesome] Gulangyu: An ancient secret place that travels through time (⭐ The boat ticket must be purchased in advance through the [Yujian Xiamen] applet, 35 yuan round trip, Dongdu Passenger Terminal→Sanqiutian Terminal, if it is not a holiday, you can arrive at the terminal half an hour in advance.) The moment you set foot on Gulangyu, it seems like you have entered a corner forgotten by time. The ancient stone road twists and turns, with buildings from all over the world that have weathered the test of time on both sides. Every brick and tile tells a story of the past. Baroque-style villas and red-brick old houses with southern Fujian characteristics stand there quietly, as if showing the world the former glory and vicissitudes of Gulangyu Island. I strolled in the quiet alley, the melodious sound of piano came to my ears and the faint fragrance of flowers filled the air. At the corner, you may come across a small shop full of literary and artistic atmosphere, or you may encounter a lazy cat, or you may come across a piece of dusty history unexpectedly. Gulangyu is such a mysterious place that makes people want to unveil its mysterious veil and explore the stories behind it. [Tiptop] Shimao Twin Towers: Looking up at the city’s skyline Xiamen’s landmark building - Shimao Twin Towers. Two towering skyscrapers reach straight into the sky, as if they are about to pierce the sky. Standing under the tower, you can quietly look up at the "giant" of this city. You can also go up to the sightseeing floor and have a panoramic view of the whole Xiamen. The blue sea, lush islands and modern urban buildings form a magnificent picture. As the sun sets, golden sunlight spreads over the sea, and Gulang Island in the distance seems to be covered with a layer of golden gauze, which is breathtakingly beautiful. [Beg] Nanputuo Temple: Finding the tranquility of the soul in the sound of Sanskrit (⭐You need to make an appointment in advance through the WeChat official account app to enter the temple) Nanputuo Temple, a thousand-year-old temple with a prosperous incense, is located at the foot of Wulao Peak, with mountains behind and the sea in front, and beautiful scenery. Everyone brings their own wishes and prays devoutly for peace and joy. The sound of Sanskrit makes people feel extremely peaceful. I strolled in the temple courtyard, feeling the profoundness of Buddhist culture. The solemn Buddha statues and exquisite murals are all awe-inspiring. Nanputuo Temple is like a spiritual harbor, allowing people to find a peaceful place in the noisy world. [Embarrassed] Shapowei: A perfect fusion of art and life (⭐The street at the entrance is often congested, but there are some shared bicycles, so you can choose to ride outside and then call a taxi) In the evening, we arrived at Shapowei, which was once the most prosperous fishing port in Xiamen, and it still retains the atmosphere of the old Xiamen life. I strolled along the cobblestone road, with arcade buildings full of southern Fujian style on both sides, various snack bars and handicraft shops lined up, and the air was filled with the aroma of seafood and the strong smell of fireworks. Shapowei is also a place full of literary and artistic atmosphere. Graffiti walls, creative markets and independent bookstores can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, attracting countless literary young people to check in. I walked into a cafe, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat quietly by the window, watching people coming and going outside, feeling the slow pace of life in this city. [Cute] Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street: Feel the prosperity of Xiamen in the arcade buildings (⭐ Very close to the First Pier, there is a Yuehua Shacha Noodles, which is an absolute time-honored brand. The store is not big, but it is delicious!) Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is the most prosperous commercial street in Xiamen, with cars and people flowing around. I walked through the bustling crowd, feeling the prosperity and vitality of this city. The architectural style of Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is unique, with rows of arcade buildings, full of strong Nanyang style. I strolled under the arcade, admiring the exquisite carvings and paintings, as if I had traveled back to that prosperous era. [Awesome]Xiamen is a city full of charm. Here you can find the ancient and mysterious Gulang Island, the towering Shimao Twin Towers, the soul-purifying Nanputuo Temple, the literary and artistic Shapowei, and the Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street full of Nanyang style. Here, you can feel the thickness of history, the diversity of culture, and the beauty of life. [Heart] Travel tips: * One day is enough for Gulangyu Island. Accommodation conditions on the island are average. * The vegetarian food at Nanputuo Temple is very famous. You can try it. * Food recommended by locals: Sili Shacha Noodles, Laoershikou Earthworm Jelly, Conghui Old Food, Sibei Yapo, you can try them. * Recommended souvenirs by Xiamen locals: Ajizi’s pies and 1980 rice dumplings. I hope this travel note can help you in your trip to Xiamen. I wish you a pleasant journey!
