Xiamen adventure, round two! 🌴 This time I had to bring my mom and sister to Time Meets Island—they totally loved it as much as I did 😍. If you’re searching for a quirky, photogenic spot to chill with family (especially indoors when Xiamen gets steamy or rainy), seriously put this on your must-hit list. Top Spot to Visit: Time Meets Island (时光遇见岛) Address: No. 15, 17-19, Donggang North Road, Huli District, Xiamen Open: 09:30–20:30 (Feb 24–June 30) Admission: 98 RMB This place is an absolute vibe if you’re into creative photo-ops, retro/cute installations, and playful setups (great for your feed, trust me 📸). My mom and sister especially loved hunting down the coolest backdrops—some rooms look straight out of a fantasy. Pro tip: Give yourself at least 1-2 hours to wander, strike a pose, and soak it all up. It can be a bit busy on weekends, so go earlier in the day for fewer crowds! How to get around: Xiamen taxis and Didi rideshare are super convenient—plug in the attraction’s address directly. The city is compact, so you won’t be stuck in traffic forever. Tip: Payments are easiest with Alipay or WeChat Pay, but cash works fine too. #XiamenIslandVibes #TimeMeetsIsland #FamilyTravel #ChinaTrip
