Solo Trip to Xiamen (Complete Guide Included)Accommodation🏠: Xiamen Weike Youth Hostel (Zhongshan Road Store) 116💰/3 nights 3.18 Day One Weather☁️ 1⃣️South Putuo Temple (reservation required) 2⃣️Shapowei Close to South Putuo Temple, so I came to have a look. This area is mainly known for its night market, so it's not very lively during the day, but it's good for taking pictures (recommend the rooftop of the Art West District). I finished browsing just in time for 🌟Weilin Dessert to open at 12:30. I added lotus root, taro, white glutinous rice, and adzuki beans, with a free silver ear mushroom soup as the base, totaling 15💰. The lotus root and taro are marinated in brown sugar, highly recommended! 3⃣️Botanical Garden (student ticket 15💰) Entered from the south gate, took the sightseeing elevator, and walked to the ticket office to buy a one-way ticket for 5💰. A one-way ticket means you can only take it once, but it's enough for those who only want to visit the succulent and rainforest areas. After visiting, exit from the west gate, the total walking distance is less than 1km, and if the weather is good, you can also take the Zhonggu Cableway. 4⃣️Baicheng Beach No sunset on a cloudy day, but it's healing to watch the waves and feel the sea breeze by the beach! I also made good friends here🥹. 5⃣️SM City Plaza Went to eat with the couple I met at Baicheng Beach. 6⃣️Ten Mile Long Embankment After eating, we drove to the Ten Mile Long Embankment, but it was too late, and it was a weekday, so there were few people! 3.19 Day Two Weather☀️ 1⃣️Gulangyu Island Bought the ferry ticket on the Xiao🍊 app 'Meet Xiamen', round trip 35💰, make sure to choose a sunny day. 📝On the ferry, a staff member said: Each tourist takes a different path, sees different scenery, and the travel experience is different. Besides some photo spots, I think there's no need to follow a specific route, just wander around and you might see some unexpected beautiful views🤓. ✅Ruanji Satay Noodles (if you plan to eat this, you can get off at Neicuo'ao Pier, which is very close). The cheapest is 15💰, the most expensive is 45💰, it's up to you, and the taste is very good! ✅Photo spots Recommend 📍Dadeji Bathing Beach Opposite are Xiamen's landmark buildings, the World Trade Twin Towers and Yanwu Bridge, great for photos📷. 2⃣️Yefengzhai Came here for the swing photos, located at 📍OFF WORK by the sea. 3⃣️Baicheng Beach A busier beach than Yefengzhai, a good place to watch the sunset🌄. 4⃣️Market Eight ✅A Jie Five-Spice 4💰/piece, you can buy one to try, the taste is okay but a bit greasy after too much. ✅A Long Satay Pork Loin 10💰/3 skewers, tastes good, the pork loin is tender. 3.20 Day Three Weather🌤️ 1⃣️Huangcuo Beach Sunrise The sunrise time predicted by the iPhone's built-in weather app is quite accurate, no need to come too early, it's windy in the morning, remember to bring a thick coat! 2⃣️Li Juying Burnt Tofu (Gugong Road Store) ✅Double Taro Tofu Curd This is super delicious! ✅Brown Sugar Burnt Tofu Compared to the Double Taro Tofu Curd, this one is quite ordinary. ✅Taro Bun Recommended, the outside is sticky, and the inside is filled with meat.fane_2031
Xiamen Super Practical Guide, recommended for friends visiting Xiamen in March!||. Xiamen Super Practical Guide, recommended for friends visiting Xiamen in March!||||||This is my second visit to Xiamen, and the most important thing comes first: you must choose a sunny day when coming to Xiamen! Blue sky, blue sea, good mood! ♦️ One, Transportation and Accommodation 1. If you like to see the sea, it is suggested to book a place near Huangcuo Beach. If you prefer convenient transportation, consider booking near Zhongshan Road. I booked near Huangcuo. 2. Exit Xiamen North Station and directly transfer to Line 1 to see the sea train Spirited Away. ♦️ Two, Itinerary Day1⃣️ 【Route: Nanputuo Temple, Shapowei, Zengcuo'an, Baicheng Beach】 1. Nanputuo Temple⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Scan the code to make a reservation before entering the temple. A serious visit can take two hours, and you can get a free incense stick at the entrance. 2. 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. Xingfu Road is super photogenic, with Ge You at p9 and the "Xiamen" check-in spot at p8 nearby. 2. Huangcuo Beach⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The most recommended spot! Stunningly beautiful! Any tree you choose to take photos with looks great! Must visit, must visit, must visit! ♦️ Three, Food Section 🟢1. Nanputuo Temple: Mung bean filling vegetarian cake 15 yuan/box⭐️⭐️⭐️ The vegetarian noodles at Haihui Lou❌ are not tasty, it's recommended to eat at the vegetarian buffet store outside the temple. 🟢2. Xuji Old Xiamen Special Satay Noodles (behind Huangcuo)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When in Xiamen, you must try satay noodles. 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.NomadNocturne

Four-day Three-night Travel Guide in XiamenDay1 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.ADELAIDE BEARD
The spring of the kapok flowers at NanputuoNanputuo 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.BenjaminMacIntyre46
Shapowei, a filming locationShapowei is the origin of Xiamen Port and has served as a sheltered harbor since the Qing Dynasty. Located to the south of Shapowei is the Nanputuo Temple and Xiamen University, and its name comes from being at the end of a long stretch of beach. The early Xiamen Port was an arc-shaped bay, with a crescent-shaped coastline and a continuous golden beach, hence the nickname 'Jade Sand Slope'. It is particularly suitable for those who appreciate cultural history and have a sense of nostalgia to visit. The now restored district blends tradition with modernity, and simplicity with fashion, attracting many people to take photos and check in, seeking a piece of history and capturing a moment of sentiment. Shapowei has been the location for numerous films and TV shows, such as 'The Beginning' and 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star', capturing its beautiful scenery on camera and drawing many young people to take photos, with its nostalgic, artistic, and retro atmosphere being particularly photogenic. 🚉Transportation tips: Xiamen University West Village Station by bus routes 22, 47, 48, 86, 87, 92, 96, etc.; Xiamen Port Bus Station by bus routes 12, 17, 25, 107, 853, etc.; 🗓Itinerary: Nanputuo - Xiamen University (advance reservation required) - Shapowei - Yanwu Bridge Viewing Platform 🍽Dining recommendations: There are many restaurants to choose from inside the World Trade Building, it is recommended to choose one on a higher floor ❤Reasons for recommendation: Culture and historical heritage 🌟Highlights: During high tide, the rising sea water floods the Shapowei landscape, offering a unique and special view.ALLIE ADKINS1
Spring hidden in the temple, the kapok flowers bloom at Nanputuo Temple (with strategy)It's my first visit to Nanputuo Temple after the New Year, and I saw that touch of red outside the monastery walls. Several kapok trees are in full bloom next to the Wanshou Pagoda by the Life Release Pond! The ancient chants of the temple, with the red flowers in contrast, make one smile! Three great spots to photograph kapok flowers in the temple: 1⃣️ Next to the Wanshou Pagoda by the Life Release Pond, with the Jia Geng building group of Xiamen University as a background, you can capture the flowers and Jia Geng architecture in the same frame. 2⃣️ There are also several tall kapok trees inside and outside the vegetarian restaurant courtyard, but the spots are quite high and not easy to shoot. 3⃣️ In front of the big Buddha character on the back mountain, there is a kapok tree, where you can capture the 'Buddha' and the flowers in the same frame. 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!BenjaminRogers.93

Nanputuo Temple☘️ I visited Xiamen once ten years ago, but due to the tight schedule, I missed the chance to visit Nanputuo Temple, which became a regret. Therefore, Nanputuo Temple is the focus of this trip to Xiamen. ☘️ Although the peak tourist season has passed, the visitors in front of Nanputuo Temple are still bustling with activity, making it extraordinarily lively. The incense inside the temple is very prosperous, and devout believers can be seen praying sincerely everywhere, reluctant to leave for a long time. ☘️ Nanputuo Temple is backed by mountains and faces the sea, with a grand scale and a solemn and respectful atmosphere, arranged in an orderly fashion. The green plants and trees are carefully tended to, making them particularly pleasing to the eye. ☘️ If you get tired, you can try the famous Nanputuo vegetarian meal, have a bowl of vegetarian noodles, and the restaurant also offers Nanputuo vegetarian cakes as souvenirs that you can purchase together.ultharia_7790
Seaside oasis of inner peace in Xiamen#freehotelstay One of the must-see attractions in Xiamen, Fujian, China, the South Putuo temple is situated in a beautiful, sprawling compound facing the sea and backed by mountains. The temple has a history of over a thousand years, dating back to the Tang dynasty. It's free to visit, and is perpetually packed with tourists and locals alike. Despite that, it still retains a peaceful aura and you feel yourself calming down after walking the grounds.

Beautiful, incredible, absolutely amazing! Loved getting to see this temple, with all the intricate details. When visiting Xiamen, you can’t miss it!
This time the tour guide was married to the young lady who was married to Xiamen. She knew Xiamen in Fujian. She said a lot of local customs and habits along the way, and the historical origin of the ancient temple. great. The only downside is that 1.5h, about 1h is over, a little bit of meaning is still not enough. It is recommended to come to the ancient temple to ask the tour guide to explain, otherwise it is white!
Nanputuo Temple is located on the edge of Xiamen University, so you can play on the same day as Xiamen University. It is a famous Buddhist monastery in southern Anhui and even the country. If you are ready to pray, you may wish to come here to worship. Behind the temple is Wulaofeng, which is also one of Xiamen's eight major scenery. If you want to visit the mountain, you can also climb the mountain by the way. The temple originated in the Tang Dynasty and was rebuilt in Qing Kangxi. Because it is the same as the Puji Temple in Putuo Mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and is located in the south of Putuo Mountain, so it is called Nanputuo Temple. There are two mountain gates outside the temple, and the distance before the two doors is very close, so any door can go in. The release pool is in front of the two doors, with turtles inside and lotus ponds in front. Nanputuo Temple is very small. If you are not ready to climb Wulaofeng, you can visit it quickly. The main buildings are the Grand Palace, the Grand Pavilion, the Tibetan Jing Pavilion, etc. (passing in the order from the mountain gate), the two rooms have the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, the charity building on the left and the Puzhao Building on the right, corresponding to the left and the right, majestic. The temple is dedicated to the three holy temples in the west, the temple of the great sorrow, the eighteen Luohan separated from the east and the west.

Don't forget to bring a few boxes of vegetarian cakes back when you leave. Nanputuo vegetarian cake won the Golden Ding Award of "China Famous Point", which is a famous specialty in Xiamen. There are sweet and salty fillings of various flavors. If there is a difficulty in choosing, the reputation is better with coconut flavor, pumpkin flavor and mung bean flavor.

It’s worth it. I don’t know so much about it without listening to the explanation. It’s good. I took the children and the children liked it very much.
