🌦️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.

Ten-mile embankment is Xiamen's newly popular internet-famous spot, where the sunset's afterglow reflects on the shimmering water and city silhouette, with sea walls and long bridges stretching across, and subways and high-speed trains dashing through the light, gathering all sorts of beautiful scenery. Standing on the beach with the sea breeze on your face, as the sun sets, it's simply the perfect moment for photos! Feel the refreshing sea breeze while finding the most beautiful angle to capture every beautiful moment.

After leaving the Xiamen Twin Towers, we took the sea metro to check in at the ten-mile-long embankment. After getting off at Jimei Xuecun Station, we walked to the ten-mile-long embankment. The seaside green space is beautiful and quiet, the sea and sky scenery is fresh and pleasant, you can overlook Xiamen Xinglin Bridge and the public and rail dual-use bridge, the distant high-rise buildings are lined up, the high bridge is flying, showing the infinite vitality of Xiamen.

It is an excellent way to appreciate the artistic Xiamen. While touring the ten-mile-long embankment, we also encountered the 'Xiamen Mid-Autumn Music Gathering' hosted by the Xiamen Culture and Tourism Bureau. The hazy moonlight meets the romantic sea embankment, the ten-mile-long embankment at night is crowded with people, the singing is floating, attracting many citizens and tourists to watch and appreciate, the scene is very lively.

🥰 As a coastal city, Xiamen really has a random romance. I stayed in Xiamen for a month and a half, and I really watched no less than ten sunrises and sunsets 🌅. The scenes that come out of the comics are really amazing! The most famous is of course the scene in Hayao Miyazaki's anime 'Spirited Away', I believe most people's impression of Xiamen is Gulangyu and the ten-mile-long embankment, so if you are going to travel to Xiamen 🗺, these two places are definitely not to be missed 📍Travel strategy📸: ① If you want to take the sea subway 🚇, you can start from Xiamen Island and take the subway line 1. When you pass Gaoqi Airport to Jimei School Village Station, it is the long-awaited sea journey! The subway speed is fast, maybe just one minute 😆, if you want to check in and take pictures, you have to hurry up ② If you want to check in and take pictures 📸 outside, you can navigate to the ten-mile-long embankment from Exit 2 of Jimei School Village Station ③ Be sure to come at a good weather time 🏖, whether it is the experience or the sunrise and sunset, you will have a great experience ④ When you are tired from playing, you can listen to the nearby band, the sea breeze, music 🎶, tide sound, fine wine 🥂, and grass complement each other to create a unique romantic atmosphere in Xiamen 🏝 Finally, I also hope that the treasures who come to Xiamen for tourism can get a good memory here, and leave the mark of the journey in this romantic capital of Xiamen.
