What are the places you must visit when traveling in Xiamen?

1. Zengcuo'an

Zengcuo'an is located on the roadside around the island in Xiamen, surrounded by mountains and the sea, backed by mountains and facing the sea. Zengcuo'an in history. Cuo'an has always existed as a fishing village, but gradually, with the development of Xiamen as a tourist city, everything here has become crowded with tourists. There are more than a hundred inns that have sprung up here in the past ten years, each with its own style and characteristics. In addition to the features of the inn, there is also a bustling food street, which gathers various special snacks from Xiamen and surrounding areas. It is a pleasant and satisfying thing to choose an inn in Zengcuo'an, taste the local snacks, and walk to the beach on Huandao Road not far away.

2. Gulangyu Island

Gulangyu Island is a landmark tourist attraction in Xiamen. The island is not large and there is no transportation. It is all about walking. Calm down and walk around the streets and alleys. I found that there are historical buildings everywhere, including old houses covered with ivy, the century-old Zhongde Palace, and the quiet Gospel Hall. These are the charm of Gulangyu Island. On Gulangyu Island's Sunlight Rock, you can climb to the top and overlook the entire island, including a panoramic view of the pier. In addition to these, you can also visit the Gulangyu Piano Museum, because Gulangyu is also known as the hometown of pianos.

3. Nan Putuo

Xiamen Nan Putuo is right next to Xiamen University. Its excellent geographical location also attracts a large number of tourists. The mountain gate of "Ludao Famous Mountain" stands majestically at the gate. There is a large lotus pond at the entrance. If it is the lotus season, you can see the budding lotus flowers, which are very beautiful. There are several release ponds behind the lotus pond, with fish, turtles and ducks. Because incense and paper money are not allowed to be brought into the temple, pilgrims can receive free incense at the entrance of Tianwang Hall to celebrate their merits. Because it is close to Xiamen University, if you are willing to climb higher, there is a top of the mountain behind Nanputuo where you can overlook Xiamen University.
