Xiamen travel guide

1, Xiamen: It can be said that it is one of the most suitable cities for self-help travel. Self-help travel is one of the fastest developing travel modes in recent years because of its flexibility, self-help, temporality and strong experience. The following are some suggestions for self-help tourism in Xiamen.

2. Suggested number of people: more than 2 people, so that they can take care of each other during the tour. (However, we have also received many tourists who travel alone and have a hobby. In fact, Xiamen is so romantic, standing on the sand of the sea, listening to MP3 and blowing the sea breeze ... let your imagination play to its fullest, Xiamen belongs to you). Travel preparation: change clothes (swimsuits can be prepared in summer in Xiamen (everyone should pay attention to safety, go to the designated swimming pool, have relevant safety measures, safety first), commonly used drugs, ID cards and other documents. The temperature in Xiamen is high in summer, so a shirt is enough, and so is a lady. The coldest temperature in Xiamen in winter is 8 degrees at night. Two pieces of autumn clothes are enough, and the coldest day is usually above 15 degrees.

3. Preparatory expenses: It depends on personal economic situation. No, I don't have any money. Please bring your bank card. All the major banks in Xiamen are interoperable. Atm is available 24 hours a day, and each card can withdraw up to 5000 yuan a day. Don't take too much cash on the trip. The card is safe.

4. Accommodation: You must experience Haiyun when you go to Xiamen. It is recommended to stay in Gulangyu or a hotel near the sea. Hotels range from two to four stars, with prices ranging from 120-3000. The May Day, November and Spring Festival in Xiamen are peak seasons, and the rooms are quite tight. However, hotels in Xiamen will be more expensive if they stay directly. It is recommended to make a reservation at a large reservation website with good reputation, which will generally be 2~7 fold off the retail price. Moreover, online booking does not need to pay any cash in advance, as long as you arrive at the hotel front desk on time and pay with the card number or order number registered for free just now. For self-help tours, booking a room in advance has at least three advantages: hotels and restaurants provided by major websites such as eLong are formal, safe and hygienic, and the price is cheaper than direct check-in. After arriving in Xiamen, you don't have to worry about the accommodation problem that night, so you can enjoy it!

5. Transportation: How to get there: There are through trains, civil aviation, steamboats and buses in Xiamen. Please refer to the "Traffic Related Column" of this website for specific time. If your train can't go straight to Xiamen, you can change at yingtan, Jiangxi. There are direct flights to Xiamen in all provincial capitals (some municipalities directly under the Central Government) and buses to Xiamen in neighboring provinces of Fujian Province. See "This website drives Xiamen by car" by car. Tourism transportation: Xiamen's public transportation is very developed. You can take a bus to the relevant scenic spots in Xiamen. Local bus pass 1 yuan (air-conditioned car 2 yuan/person). The train station can take the bus directly to the ferry (Gulangyu Road 19, Nanputuo Road 17, Shiwan Botanical Garden 17, Huandao Road 19 (Convention and Exhibition Center), 1 terminal Hu Lishan Fort B, Jimei Road 80 1 7. Xiamen airport has tax all day, and you can take bus No.27 to the downtown area when you leave the station. (Behind the train station) For others, please refer to the relevant Xiamen bus lines in the "Travel Reference" of this station.

6. Suggested itinerary: There are 7 regular tourist attractions in Xiamen: Gulangyu Island, Nanputuo, Hu Lishan Fort, Huandao Road, Shiwan Botanical Garden, Haicang Bridge and Jimei Olympic Park. Generally, it takes Gulangyu a day to complete the trip. Sunlight Rock, in particular, is the first scenic spot in Xiamen and a must-see for tourists coming to Xiamen. There is a saying that "if you don't go to Sunlight Rock in Xiamen, you just don't go to Xiamen". When you climb Sunlight Rock, you can get a panoramic view of Xiamen, and the sea breeze is blowing slowly, so you will definitely forget yourself. On Gulangyu Island, you can see the ancient buildings where Chinese and Western cultures meet, and experience another Gulangyu Island known as "world architecture". Zheng Chenggong's garrison, groundwater level, statues, etc. Dream back to the scene of the national hero of that year. On the island, you can also visit the "folk village" with Minnan customs and culture and watch the "Xiamen Underwater World" of underwater fish. Some friends who come to Xiamen don't go to Xiamen Botanical Garden. I don't think it is recommended. In fact, the scenic spot of Xiamen Botanical Garden is quite good. You can enjoy plants native to Africa, as well as magical plants such as stale fruits and discolored grass. If the number of the group reaches 65,438+00, I will personally show you around Bian Xiao. Temples in Xiamen: Nanputuo is famous, and other temples, such as Brahma Temple in Xiang 'an District of Xiamen and Qingjiao Ji Zi in Haicang District, can also be visited. Xiamen Island Road is also an indispensable tourist attraction in Xiamen. This tour starts from Fort Hu Lishan, and you can see the world's largest ancient coastal gun. On the road around the island, you can see the longest stone carving in China (named: Gulangyu Wave). For details, please click on "Twenty Scenes of Xiamen"

7. Suggested itinerary (for reference only): Two-day tour of Xiamen Essence: Day 1: Gulangyu Island (Sunlight Rock, Early Spring of the Republic of China, Houtan of Gangzai, Shen Manor) in the morning, Haoyue Garden, World Architecture Expo Line and Underwater World in the afternoon. The next day: morning: Shiwan Botanical Garden, Nanputuo Temple, afternoon: Hu Lishan Fort, Island Road, Convention and Exhibition Center, Jimei Olympic Park.

8. Catering-related: Xiamen has a lot of seafood, but it is not too expensive. The famous restaurants are: Xianxiang in Xiamen and Kerry seafood. The mid-range ones are: Nanhai Fish Village. The seafood in general food stalls in Xiamen is also good, and it is common on the streets of Xiamen. Personally, I think the famous dishes: Nanputuo vegetarian dishes, bamboo shoots and ice (snacks) are all good and famous. Other seafood can be eaten in other places.

9. Snacks: There are too many snacks in Xiamen, such as Satay noodles, Huang Ze, peanut soup, pancakes, fried oysters, Xiamen fried noodles, spring rolls, horse history and flat food. Bian Xiao, I can't count. If it's convenient, take Gulangyu ferry to Xiamen, and you can eat Huang Ze and snacks on Zhongshan Road.

10. Tourist souvenirs: Shopping: The main specialties of Xiamen are Gulangyu Pie (various), golden pine, seafood, dried fruit, tea (oolong tea) and so on. It's best to shop around for souvenirs:
