The golden rays of the setting sun brought an unexpected warmth to the winter air, allowing us to take off our jackets and leisurely stroll along the beach. The sky transformed into a palette of soft pinks and oranges, reflecting beautifully on the calm sea. Children played in the sand, their laughter filling the air, while a few newlywed couples posed for their wedding photos, capturing this magical moment against the stunning backdrop. The sunset, casting long shadows and a golden glow on everything around, was undoubtedly the highlight of our Xiamen trip, creating a serene and unforgettable evening by the sea.

I've just returned from Xiamen, brimming with travel tips and some hard truths I need to tell you! Xiamen in May is unbelievably beautiful, but there are also plenty of tourist traps. Don't worry, I'm here to help you avoid them! 🌩️🎒 📌 Don't go to the wrong ferry terminal for Gulangyu; the Xiamen-Gulangyu Terminal is the way to go. Don't waste a trip! 🚤 💰 Luxury ferry ticket? Forget it! A regular ticket for 35r will do the trick, spending that extra 1 yuan to go upstairs is really not worth it! 💸 ⏰ Arrive at the terminal 50 minutes early; if you're late, you lose everything, as ferry tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable. Missing it is like throwing away a piece of waste paper! ⏳ 🛍️ Don't buy things on Gulangyu; the prices on the island are frighteningly high! 💸 🌿 Enter the Wanshi Botanical Garden through the west gate; the popular succulent garden is just a stone's throw away. Don't take the long way around! 🌵 🌅 Watch the sunrise at Huangcuo and the sunset at Baicheng Beach. Don't mix them up; each is not to be missed! 🌄 🏖️ Yefengzhai Beach is less crowded and has beautiful scenery. Go check in and enjoy the tranquil beauty! 📷 🐬 Kinmen Dolphin Base is not that easy to encounter dolphins, if you're short on time, skip it! 🚢 🛍️ Zengcuo'an is too commercialized, honestly not much to see! 🚶‍♂️ 🚇 Line 1 is super beautiful, don't miss it. Go directly to Jimei School Village for a walk, it's stunning! 🚌 📷 Lishui Reservoir 'Little Switzerland', a great place for taking photos on the big lawn, come and blow up your social media! 🌳 👣 Walk the Mountain and Sea Trail in the evening, take in the beautiful views of the Pan Tower, and remember to wear something comfortable! 🌆 🚗 Driving in scenic areas on holidays is asking for traffic jams, parking is difficult and expensive, better to use public transportation for an easy tour! 🚌 🦞 Zuoyihao Seafood Stall at the intersection of Sibei Road, authentic old Xiamen taste, it's a miss if you don't try it! 🍲 My itinerary: Day1: Arrive in Xiamen Day2: Jimei School Village → Nanjing Tulou → Yunshuiyao → Heguilou → Huaiyuanlou Day3: Nanputuo Temple → Island Ring Road → Zengcuo'an Day4: One-day tour of Gulangyu → International Architecture → Gangzaihou Beach Day5: Sea foraging experience

Zeng Yi is the most lively street in Xiamen outside of Gulangyu. It is said to be a Linhai fishing village. Later, family hotels and art shops flourished. You can take a walk along the seaside trail to Baicheng Beach. The environment is electric, so the number of tourists now has grown in Gulangyu. However, relatively speaking, it is still much quieter than Gulangyu, and the tourists are mostly young people. The tourists here are mainly young couples looking for a quiet and beautiful getaway. Delicious tea and noodles are served in small and exquisite stores around in the fishing village. The location is also very good, out of the village, beautiful scenic views through the coastal road and the long beach trails on the beach, it feels very good to go for a walk here anytime in the evening.

💸 1. Where Did the Money Go? Xiamen’s Top Three "Spending Traps" Transportation Pitfalls Gulangyu Ferry: The standard round-trip ticket costs 35 RMB, which seems reasonable, but during peak seasons, it’s hard to secure, forcing tourists to opt for the pricier "luxury cabin" (60-100 RMB). Island Transport: Gulangyu is entirely walkable, but the electric cart from the pier to the main attractions costs 50 RMB per person one-way, making it easy to impulsively spend under the scorching sun. Taxis/Private Cars: Attractions like Huandao Road and Jimei School Village are spread out, with daily taxi costs exceeding 100 RMB. Drivers may also recommend "partnered restaurants." Ticket Bundles and Tricks Gulangyu Attractions: Single tickets for Sunlight Rock (50 RMB) and Shuzhuang Garden (30 RMB) are expensive. The 90 RMB combo ticket seems like a deal, but you can’t possibly visit all the sites in one day, trapping you in a "use it or lose it" mindset. Gimmicky Hotspots: For example, the "Rainforest Mist" session at the Botanical Garden (30 RMB ticket) covers a small area and is overcrowded, falling far short of expectations. "Scenic Spot Markup" on Dining Longtou Road, Gulangyu: A basic bowl of satay noodles costs 35 RMB (only 15 RMB in the city), and seafood restaurants are full of "market price" traps, with dishes like ginger duck priced at 98 RMB. Zengcuo’an/Zhongshan Road: Trendy milk tea shops and snacks are marketed as "must-try" for social media, like a 30 RMB mango cup that contains only half a mango. 💡 2. How to Save Money Like a Local: Tested and Proven! Transportation Hacks ✅ Book Ferries Early: Secure the 35 RMB standard ticket 7 days in advance via the "Xiamen Ferry" WeChat account, avoiding weekends and holidays. ✅ Cycle Along Huandao Road: Use shared bikes (1.5 RMB per ride) instead of taxis. The route from Baicheng Beach to Huangcuo offers stunning sea views and more freedom than tour buses. ✅ Public Transport Pro Tip: Download the "Xiamen Bus" app for free transfers within 60 minutes and the "Xiamen Metro" app for a 10% discount on subway fares. Ticket Avoidance ✅ Focus on Gulangyu’s Highlights: Skip the combo ticket! Explore the free International Settlement and pay just 15 RMB for Sunlight Rock (half-price after 5 PM). ✅ Better Alternatives: Nanputuo Temple (free) replaces crowded temples, with a 20 RMB vegetarian meal that fills you up. Jimei School Village (free) showcases Jiageng architecture, offering a quieter and more cultural experience than Gulangyu. Eat Like a Local Without Overspending 🍜 Satay Noodles: Head to the neighborhood favorite "Sili Satay Noodles" (Hubin Sili Branch) for 15 RMB/bowl, packed with toppings and rich broth. 🦆 Ginger Duck: Avoid tourist areas! "Haodelai" in Baijia Village offers a small portion for 38 RMB, enough for two. 🐚 Seafood: Go straight to Bashi Market, pick your seafood, and have it cooked (steaming costs 10 RMB per dish). Shangqing Seafood offers fresh meals for just 50 RMB per person. 📌 Key Tip: Trendy spots (like Zhang Sanfeng Milk Tea and Miss Zhao’s Tea Cakes) are overpriced. For souvenirs, try "A Ji Zai" coconut cakes (5 RMB each) or "Huang Ze He" peanut soup (15 RMB/box), available at supermarkets. 💰 3. Budget Rebuild: A Realistic 3-Day Spending Guide (Budget-Friendly Version) | Category | Cost | Money-Saving Tip | |----------------|---------------|------------------| | Accommodation | 150 RMB/night | Stay at Zengcuo’an guesthouses (non-beachfront) or Siming District hostels | | Food | 60 RMB/day | 5 RMB breakfast at Bashi Market + 15 RMB neighborhood satay noodles + 40 RMB night market snacks | | Tickets/Transport | 80 RMB | 35 RMB Gulangyu ferry + 15 RMB half-price Sunlight Rock ticket + 10 RMB bus fare | | **Total** | **~600 RMB** | Just 1/3 the cost of influencer-style trips! | ❤️ Final Tips For your next Xiamen trip, plan with reverse logic: - Catch the sunrise at Huangcuo Beach at 6 AM (free and crowd-free) for a more serene experience than the packed Baicheng Beach. - Visit Shapowei Art Zone after 3 PM—the old fishing port glows under sunset, offering natural photo filters and saving you café posing fees. A blown travel budget isn’t the end of the world, but repeating the same mistakes is! Remember: Xiamen’s romance isn’t in pricey tickets or trendy shops—it’s in the morning sea breeze, the charm of old streets, and a stress-free bill 🌊✨
