The rainy season in Xiamen has finally ended!! Lately, it's been all sunny days!! The blue sea, comic clouds, boardwalks, and rocky shores... insanely beautiful!! Sisters coming to Xiamen must be prepared for sun protection, the sun is super strong!! Huangcuo Beach Recommended route: Tátou bus station→Huangcuo Beach→Xitou Xia→>Wan Yue Po→>Music Plaza→Mountain and Sea Trail (for ocean views and sunset)

1⃣️The essence of Xiamen's attractions is concentrated in Siming District, where the high-speed railway station is also located. Accommodation can be arranged in the Zengcuoan area, which is convenient for going to other places and has hotels and homestays of various price ranges. 2⃣️If you only play in Siming District, the itinerary can be set for three days and two nights. The route is Zengcuoan—Huangcuo Beach—Shapowei—Bashi—Gulangyu 3⃣️It is recommended to go to and from Gulangyu in one day. Regardless of the off-peak season, the accommodation on the island is relatively expensive. Take a boat from the Cruise Center Xiamen Drum Pier to the Neicuoao Pier, the ticket is 35 per person. 4⃣️The most romantic travel experience in Xiamen is to ride an electric bike around the island road, starting from Zengcuoan and riding along the island road and the south island road to Xiangshan Yacht Club, riding and enjoying the scenery, stopping when you see a beautiful place, round trip 3 hours. 5⃣️As the central coastal city of Fujian, Xiamen's consumption is not low, the cost of three days and two nights is about 1k, two nights in Zengcuoan 400+, car rental and food 600+ 6⃣️Don't miss the Bashi Old Street in Xiamen for food hunting. This is the most lively food street in Xiamen, a seafood market, with many authentic food stalls, affordable prices

⛳️【Huangcuo Beach on the Island Ring Road] Navigation: Halfway Coffee on the Wild Beach 🏝 There are many coffee shops in the Wan Yue Po area, and there are many options for beach afternoon tea. It's a good spot for taking photos 👍 The beach here is relatively clean, and there weren't many people when I went in the morning. 😄 I recommend going in the evening, ordering a cup of coffee, and watching the sunset by the sea. There are also plenty of shared bikes around here, so you can ride along the coastline. 👍 🎈 There's also a swing that swings out towards the sea 👍

🌦️Weather Notice: The temperature in March and April is quite comfortable, but there are many rainy days. Friends who come to Xiamen should be mentally prepared. 🏨Accommodation Recommendation: I suggest staying on Xiamen Island, especially in hotels from the train station to Zhongshan Road, which are more convenient for travel. It's best to choose hotels near the subway, as most of the scenic spots in Xiamen are on the island. 🚆Transportation Strategy: If you take a high-speed train to Xiamen, it is recommended to get off at 'Xiamen Station', which is more convenient as it's in the city center. If you get off at 'Xiamen North', you can take a bus or subway line 1 to the island. Gaoqi Airport is also on the island, and you can take a bus or airport shuttle after leaving the airport. 🍜Food Recommendation: Xiamen is mainly known for its Minnan cuisine, snacks, and seafood. The food in Xiamen is relatively sweet and light, which may not be suitable for those who like spicy food. There are particularly many taro-based dishes (for specific food recommendations, please see my food guide). 🌊Attractions Recommendation: Actually, the main reason to visit Xiamen is to see the sea. The weather is very important for sea viewing; if the weather is good, the sea will be very blue and beautiful. Below are the places I think you must visit: Huangcuo Beach - Wan Yue Po, Health Trail Linhai Line, Pearl Bay - Zengcuo'an Music Square, Jiahe Park - Ten-mile Long Embankment - Jimei School Village, Shangli Reservoir, Guanyinshan Beach, Zhonggu Cableway, Shapowei - Twin Towers - Yanwu Bridge. 🏝️Gulangyu, remember to buy tickets in advance, and it is recommended to reserve a whole day for it. The island is suitable for leisurely strolls. For strategies about Gulangyu, you can see the introduction on my homepage. ⚠️Points to Avoid: The specialty stores on Zhongshan Road are traps, and it is not recommended to buy anything there; There are many rip-offs in the Zengcuo'an commercial street, most of which are not delicious, really do not go there to eat; the homestays in Zengcuo'an mostly do not match the pictures at all, it is really not recommended to stay in homestays; Do not trust the so-called native guides or taxi drivers on the street, they are deceivers; many seafood vendors in the Eighth Market will rip you off, short-weigh or switch products, be very careful when eating seafood, it is recommended to reweigh it at the market entrance; Do not drive by yourself, as parking is hard to find in Xiamen and it is very congested during holidays. If you are driving to Xiamen, it is more convenient to park your car at the hotel and take a taxi or subway. 🗺️Travel Route: Day1: Arrive in Xiamen ➡️ Eighth Market ➡️ Zhongshan Road; Day2: Nanputuo ➡️ Shapowei ➡️ Xiamen University White City ➡️ Pearl Bay ➡️ Music Square ➡️ Xitou Xia ➡️ Huangcuo Beach ➡️ Yefengzhai ➡️ Guanyinshan (all on the Island Ring Road); Day3: One-day tour of Gulangyu; Day4: Zhonggu Cableway ➡️ Botanical Garden ➡️ Health Trail Linhai Line; Day5: Ten-mile Long Embankment ➡️ Dragon Boat Pool ➡️ Jiahe Park ➡️ Jimei Dasha ➡️ Shigu Road.

I am currently setting up a stall at Huangcuo Beach to shoot the 'Flowers on the Sea' sunrise series of photos. I will be taking 20/2 shots, and I will take some for everyone to choose from. Weather reporter Xia Xia is online, and I have updated the early morning weather chart for 5.8. Today's weather forecast is cloudy. Shout out loud: I've caught the sunrise over the Orange Sea! The clouds were quite thick at the start of the morning, but they gradually dispersed, and then the sun came out. Today's morning glow was from 5.19 to 5.36, and the sun came out around 5.44. The wind these days is just right, not too cold, not too hot, perfect for going out. If you're afraid of the cold, you can bring a coat. Sisters, my morning shoot has already ended, and I should be going back to the beach around five in the afternoon to wait for the sunset. See you if fate allows

That is the Island Ring Road. Here, you can watch the sunrise at Huangcuo Beach, feel the tranquility and beauty of the early morning. By evening, the sunset scenery of Baicheng is equally shocking.
