Xiamen Gulangyu's small fresh air has always made me yearn for it. What's the charm of this island not far from Guangzhou, so that so many lovers and backpackers gather to go there? The special B & B rooms in the travel notes and a bunch of delicious food that sounds like saliva all fascinate me. Occasionally one day at noon at work, casually brush to see the ticket prices of Guangzhou - Xiamen, suddenly there is a special return! So I invited two good colleagues to take a leave immediately... Fortunately, Gulangyu is not far away, it doesn't take a long time, so I took two days off. We decided to go by train and return by plane to save money as much as possible.

The train ticket is hard sleeper. It takes about 14 hours from Guangzhou east railway station to Xiamen. It starts at 8 p.m. and arrives the next morning. The advantage of taking the train is to save the next night's accommodation, you can play in the morning! To Xiamen railway station, the weather is not very good, cloudy. Let's check in at the Jinjiang Star Hotel on the Internet. There is a bus at the railway station. The location of this Jinjiang Star Xiamen University store is very good. It is close to Xiamen University and not far from the wharf. There are many snack bars near the hotel. If you want to go to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, you only need to take a few bus stops near the hotel to get there.

Although the pedestrian street is similar to the pedestrian street in Guangzhou, there are a lot of delicious food and shopping is not recommended. It's really delicious! There are eight mother-in-law burning fairy grass and so on!

Come to Zhongshan Road, bustling crowd, lights, pedestrian street is very busy. Many characteristic snack bars are full of people. We chose several stores recommended on the Internet to try. There are eight mother-in-law burning fairy grass, this shop is really good! I remember it's 3 yuan a cup, the price is really affordable! Now I don't know if the price has been raised. Milk tea is very rich. It's special to eat with peanuts and shaoxiancao. Xiaolong soup dumplings taste OK, a cage seems to be 12 yuan. The skin is very thin, which means it can be broken by blowing. The soup is delicious.

This family seems to be making some kind of wheel cake in Taiwan. I stood by and watched for a while, but the materials were quite enough. There are ham and eggs, fried very well.

Is sweet potato another Taiwan snack? It's delicious! Must sprinkle a lot of sweet plum powder to taste good! Sweet and sour sweet sweet plum powder with fried golden crisp sweet potato, perfect match!

Just cooked meat swallow, very delicious! I really can't think of how to make skin from meat...

The first day I came to Xiamen, I had a good time eating and drinking! Go back to the hotel in the evening and go to the most beautiful university in China tomorrow!

The next morning, we went to the Shengyi Xiaolong soup bag shop opposite the hotel for breakfast! Don't look small, but it's very popular! There seems to be a lot of local people. Order the most famous buns, eat while it's hot! Today's itinerary is not tight, but we should also seize the time.

It's a very good restaurant. Xiaolongbao is very delicious. "Thin skin, gently lift, slowly move, juicy, first open the window, then suck the soup."

After eating and drinking, we went to the first scenic spot  -  Xiamen University! It's said that this is the most beautiful university in China. In my opinion, Xiamen University has an advantage in geographical location and has an invincible sea view! Even the playground can see the sea, children who like the sea, hurry to test Xiamen University! In addition, there are many famous cars on campus, and Land Rover BMW can be seen everywhere. All of a sudden, I feel that the children in Xiamen University are Gao Fu Shuai and Bai Fu Mei!

The campus is very new and beautiful, close to the sea, needless to say the scenery.

In Xiamen University, what I like most is this bookstore. Because the design is creative, it's all piled up with books.

It's a beautiful road. You can enjoy the sea view and green trees along the way by bike. It's very leisurely.

From Xiamen University to Huandao Road, you can walk or take a bus. There are many bike rental shops along the island road, and the prices are almost the same. Personally, I think one hour is really enough. If you love riding, you can ride all the time. But pay attention to safety. Don't look at the scenery when you ride.

Today we are going to Gulangyu! Excited to take the bus to the dock with luggage, bought a ticket on board! There are so many people! The sea in Xiamen is not clean. If you really like to see the sea, you should go to Sanya.

Although the business atmosphere is strong, it is quiet and comfortable when there are few people. There are many special shops and hotels on the island, but one night is enough

My first impression of Gulangyu was not very good, perhaps because of the bad weather. It's windy and drizzling, especially gloomy. There are many people on the island, and there are many tour groups. The tour guide kept shouting with a big horn. When I got to the hotel, I was in a good mood!

It is said that many stars have stayed in Qishan No.1 residence we reserved. It's also a redecoration of the old villa. It's not far from the dock. It's only 10 minutes' walk away!

Because there is no room for three, but we can share beds, so we reserved this one. The room is very big and spacious. The main reason why we choose here is to push the window to see the sea! The price seems to be 328 a night. It's a little expensive, but it's very clean. The bathroom has five stars!

There is a rocking chair in the courtyard of the hotel. It's a good feeling to have coffee and chat at the same time.

The milk tea shop is very popular. Maybe it's because of the logo. That cat is really eye-catching. There are also various souvenirs on sale. There are raisins and nuts in milk tea, which is very different from ordinary milk tea.

Miss Zhao's shop, every time a friend comes back from Xiamen, he will bring back the mung bean cake of this shop. I didn't want to take the decoration of the house so exquisite. There's some taste of English afternoon tea.

Mango yogurt 20 yuan a cup, so expensive! Yogurt is not particularly sour

Mango yogurt 20 yuan a cup, so expensive! Yogurt is not particularly sour, mango is still fresh. Is it because of the environment and the name of the store that it is so popular?

If you wander around Gulangyu, you will encounter some strange shops and delicious food. For example, cheese potatoes, cheese sauce is very thick, poured on fried potatoes, ham, corn, cucumber and other ingredients, worry about the weight of MM do not eat!

Shopping in the evening is the happiest. The group's one-day tour has dispersed, and Gulangyu has recovered a little calm. Chen can Xi tea shop, 1983, walnut box... Unlimited creativity!

My friend said that I must eat the peanut roll ice cream recommended by Xiao s. I didn't buy it. I'd like to see what's special. Originally, peanut roll ice cream, ice cream wrapped with peanut powder and coriander!!! This is definitely a heavy taste! Coriander with ice cream! I don't know how to describe the taste, so I'd better taste it by myself!

Nana coastal resort hotel is a must stay hotel in Gulangyu. We said we could go, so we didn't book it. The business is so hot! After visiting this hotel, it's really big! This is not a small hotel, but a big one!

No explanation. Friends who know musical instruments may find it interesting.

We bought a package ticket for Gulangyu scenic spot online, so we visited the Organ Museum. My personal feeling is general. I don't have a commentator and I don't know much about musical instruments, so I can only have a look.

Piano museum is similar to organ Museum. Friends who like piano can come and have a look

It is recommended that sunlight rock is the highest point of Gulangyu, overlooking the whole island.

The scenery of sunlight rock is very beautiful, but the weather is not good, and there is mist, so I can't see it very clearly. If you spend the night in Gulangyu, it is recommended to come early in the morning to avoid the crowd of the tour group.

It's a pity that I have finished my course now, and the atmosphere is still good.

Friends who like shopping can come in and have a look at a lot of cat art. Like cats can not be missed!

As long as you buy the empty bottle, you can drink milk tea for free! After drinking milk tea, you can draw by hand, choose the color you like, and draw your favorite pattern for your cat's empty bottle.

My work is OK! The bottle can be taken away as a souvenir!

Happy 4 days and 3 nights trip to Xiamen is over here! This is a late travel note ~ it's also my first micro travel note. Send a few tips: 1   If you want to travel to Xiamen, it will be more convenient to live in the urban area. Food and beverage prices in the urban area are much cheaper than those in Gulangyu. On the island, a cup of yogurt is 20 yuan. And all the scenic spots can be visited in one day. And the ferry is very convenient, in and out at any time. If it's not necessary, you really don't need to live on the island.              two   Maybe everyone likes to buy some souvenirs when traveling, but it's really unnecessary to buy them in Gulangyu except for food. Like those cat ceramics, they are sold on the Internet. Why spend money in the shop? And it's really not cheap!              three   To remind you, those who like to send postcards! I strongly suggest that you buy stamps at the post office before you go to Gulangyu! Because the stamps on the island are sold at a high price! 8 Mao sold 1.2 ~ ah!              four   Zhongshan road is not suitable for shopping, especially for those who live in the first tier cities. The brand there is not as many as the shopping center at your door.
