Shapowei⭐️⭐️⭐️ There are lots of handmade jewelry stalls in the Art West District, very unique, a must-visit for girls, and the graffiti wall is also great for photos. 3. Zengcuo'an⭐️ Too commercialized, even less recommended to eat here, expensive and a rip-off with no substance! 4. Baicheng Beach⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The coast is beautiful, it is recommended to go between 15:00-17:00 in the afternoon, the evening sea breeze is too cold! (The whole route can be done by citywalk + renting a bike to cycle around the island, it's really comfortable) Day2⃣️ 【Route: Eighth Market, Zhongshan Road, Huaxin Road, Xingfu Road, Huangcuo Beach, Yefengzhai】 1. Eighth Market + Zhongshan Road + Huaxin Road + Xingfu Road⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Eighth Market is a food paradise! Must-try restaurants are mentioned in the food section.

We had satay noodles three times, and the most recommended is Xuji Old Xiamen Special Satay Noodles near Huangcuo, with plenty of ingredients and great taste! Generous with seafood. The satay noodles eaten at Zengcuo'an❌ had not even a single shrimp and still cost 30 yuan. 🟢3. Jiawei Zaitian Snack Shop (Eighth Market) The prices are reasonable, and their extra-ingredient meat zongzi is highly recommended, really delicious! A friend ordered a taro bun which felt average. Key point: Be sure to calculate the price of the food you want to eat first, then transfer the money at the cashier, and tell the lady how much food stamps you want, then exchange the stamps for meals at the window! Calculating it yourself first saves more time.

Four-day Three-night Travel Guide in Xiamen

Day1 Xiamen Airport - Zhongshan Road - Jimei School Village We arrived at Xiamen Airport after 9 am, and it was around 11 am by the time we settled in our hotel. We booked a hotel near Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, so we bought some snacks nearby for lunch, like sea snail meat, satay noodles, and ginger duck. Day2 Gulangyu Island - Linjia Minnan Cuisine - Zhongshan Road You need to book the ferry tickets to Gulangyu Island online in advance. There are sightseeing buses on the island, but you have to queue up for them. My friends and I chose to walk around the island, which was quite tiring. Day3 Nanputuo Temple - Xiamen University - 202 Special Food Stall - We went to Nanputuo Temple before 9 am, bought some prayer beads, and since Xiamen University is right next to it, we took a quick look. We didn't make a reservation, so we just took a photo at the entrance. For lunch, we went to the 202 Special Food Stall (the one on Douxi Road), and it was a total letdown. The menu prices were different from the checkout prices. They told us the prices increased during the Spring Festival, but they didn't inform us when ordering. The food wasn't good either, so I don't recommend it 🙅!!! Day4 Shapowei - Zhonggu Cableway - Botanical Garden Shapowei is quite a nice place to stroll around, with many shops and stalls. You need to book the Zhonggu Cableway in advance. Since we didn't have a reservation, we just went to the nearby Botanical Garden. The garden is quite large, and you can choose to take a sightseeing bus. The view from the observation deck is very nice. We arrived in the evening and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. 🚗 For this trip, we mostly took taxis and walked. The places were quite crowded, so you might want to consider traveling during the off-season to avoid the crowds.

The spring of the kapok flowers at Nanputuo

Nanputuo Temple was originally established at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, initially called Sizhou Institute. It was rebuilt by the Northern Song monk Wencui and renamed Wuji Rock. It was abandoned during the Yuan Dynasty. It was rebuilt at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, renamed Puzhao Temple. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the poet monk Jueguang moved and rebuilt it in front of the mountain, with complete halls and residences, and the number of resident monks often reached more than a hundred. It was again abandoned due to military disasters at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. In the twenty-second year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1684), after Shi Lang, the Marquis of Jinghai, recaptured Taiwan and was stationed in Xiamen, he donated funds to restore the old temple and added the Dabeige to worship the Bodhisattva Guanyin. It was compared with the Guanyin sacred site of Mount Putuo in Zhejiang and was renamed Nanputuo Temple. Over the following centuries, it underwent multiple renovations and expansions by successive abbots, such as Jingfeng, Shengji, and Xican, and by the early years of the Republic of China, it had formed a complete Zen temple pattern with three main halls and seven pavilions, becoming the most prominent temple in modern southern Fujian. Nanputuo Temple in Xiamen is a famous temple in southern Fujian, located in front of the famous Wulao Peaks of Egret Island, backed by a group of unique peaks, facing the clear Chenghai Port, with excellent scenery. Since the beginning of the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, there have been high monks who built huts for Buddhist practice by the mountain. The temple was expanded during the Ming Dynasty, initially forming its scale, and was renamed to its current name after restoration in the early Qing Dynasty.

Shapowei, a filming location

Shapowei is the origin of Xiamen Port and has served as a sheltered harbor since the Qing Dynasty.

Other photo highlights: ✅ There are many pigeons by the Life Release Pond, which are great for capturing dynamic shots of the pigeons🕊️. ✅ The temple roofs are beautiful, it's recommended to take close-up shots. 💡Temple visit suggestions: ❌ Do not wear overly revealing clothing, do not pose provocatively in the temple. ❌ Do not make loud noises. ✅ Respect the monks' practice within the temple, do not disturb or overstep. ✅ If you have luggage, you can store it for free in the luggage room on the right side of the entrance. ✅ Make an online reservation in advance. 😍Food recommendations: ✅ For groups, the vegetarian restaurant is a good choice, where you can order dishes. ✅ For solo diners, the Haihui Tower noodle shop is recommended, offering vegetarian options like ramen and satay noodles. ✅ There is a tea shop outside the Heavenly King Hall, where you can drink milk tea and buy vegetarian cakes, and there is a small wooden house coffee shop at the exit, where you can enjoy coffee!
