Xiamen: Immersed in the Common Streetscape of Hayao Miyazaki's Animation

Life, in the end, is a journey of no return. Cherish every glimmer of light, even if it has not yet illuminated my shadow. Always believe that those who love life will be favored. Therefore, treasure the present moment. One day, I will see my own shadow gleaming with golden light. Filming location: Shapowei, Xiamen. I would like to recommend a fantastic walking route for you all. The starting point can be from the Shapowei Art West District, then follow the Shapowei Shelter Harbor to the end, circle back onto the street, and return the same way. Both sides of the Shelter Harbor and University Road are lined with many aesthetically pleasing storefronts and hidden gem shops. Finally, if the weather is good, you can walk to the viewing platform under the World Trade Twin Towers to enjoy a beautiful sunset. Notes: For those driving, you can park your car behind the Shapowei Art West District. The shops here generally open after 10:30, so there's no need to go too early. Around 3:30 in the afternoon on a sunny day, the golden light is perfect for taking photos. There are usually quite a few people taking photos and checking in at the attractive shop fronts, so there's a high chance you'll need to queue. In contrast, there are fewer queues in the Art West District. (If you want to take photos at the shop front, you can do so early in the morning before the shops open).
