Gulangyu is a good place for leisure. Xiamen Well, soso.
Xiamen's new airport very good. (However, the new Well of latrines has also incense three days.)
I play by the end of May of last year. However, the local temperatures 29/30 degrees.
Xiamen city is also under construction, so everywhere the site, but is now probably the bar has been completed.
Gulangyu is to ferry the past, like the previous, as Shanghai's Pudong. Gulangyu is a small island on the island of transport apart from battery car, two legs of the Jiu Sheng myself.
There are many hotels on the island, but plenty of new office, I do not recommend there. On the island there are many left over from the colonial period buildings, now mostly in some units, guest houses, nursing homes. I was able to live in a utilities unit guest house. It was a Portuguese villa, although You Dianjiu, but genuine, and is located in the top island.
Gulangyu truly fun place to nothing, likes playing with friends can go to Queen's Beach, flying water parachute, open motorboat;
There are aquarium, Peacock Garden, Bainiao Yuan and so on.
Personally, I prefer natural scenery, walks recommend a good road (in the evening best):
Dade note from the beach, the walk along the beach turn right, (I regardless of East and West, This is the common problem of Shanghai also) through a 9 Shibanqiao again after Wang Anshang go, there is a very quiet road, both sides of the plants lush, tropical scenery full of little deserted. even more peculiar is that the trees along the road is Prynne neriifolia, comes at a time when white orchid in full bloom, the air Miman of flowers is really fine spring reminding us of scenes paradise on earth.
To the Golden Sunlight Rock morning to watch the sunrise is not bad. When the way down to Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall. (Tell everyone a good way to save money, am7: 00, before all of the attractions on the island is not for money! Free!!!) Then eat breakfast, be sure to eat fish ball soup. where the incredibly fresh fish balls, there are flexible, and very cheap.
At night can go to Guang Yeshi, by the way buy some fruit and enjoy the cool air. (Lychees, dragon fruit, pomegranates are pretty good, guava do not buy a not very tasty.)
If you want to buy some souvenirs, then Gulangyu pie taste quite good.
Gulangyu night market not far from the ferry terminal, however, paths are many careful not to get lost. Local people have a lot of not very good at speaking Mandarin, ask for directions a bit difficult. Shanghai, but there are many descendants of the island, can speak Shanghai dialect, for me What a pleasant surprise.
To eat, I recommend mantis shrimp, but also cheap and tasty. There is also a mustard rice is also good. Please do not pick what lobsters, their own cities to eat to be, the price is similar, boring. Really want to eat seafood, then , there is a called "sea monster", and quite delicious, but unfortunately people do not know what it sold what is called in the end.
Gulangyu little two or three days on the Wanbian, and availability can also play in Xiamen, a typical coastal city, inland and northern friends should take a look. Xiamen University, Jimei Tan Kah Kee's Tomb are the famous places such as The. I believe, after years of construction, should be very beautiful.
The friend may feel restless in general. But if you want to relax, rest rest, Gulangyu is really very good.
