![In July and August, Xiamen is scorching hot with intense UV rays at the beach and hot sea breezes. Be sure to pack a sun hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and a sun/rain umbrella!
-
If you're visiting during a holiday, Xiamen gets crowded. Remember to book tickets in advance and plan ahead to avoid pitfalls.
A sincere tip: Xiamen isn't great for a self-driving tour. Parking is difficult in many places, and it's very congested during peak hours (it's better to choose public transportation).
If taking the high-speed train, choose [Xiamen Station]—it's right in the city center! [Xiamen North Station] is too far and inconvenient.
When taking a taxi, never hail one on the street. They might take you to unknown attractions, which not only costs money but also wastes your time.
Many attractions in Xiamen are free! Don't just wander around; check out the free attractions first.
For accommodation, I recommend the Siming District, such as near Zhongshan Road or the train station.
Don't mix up sunrise and sunset spots: go to Huangcuo for sunrise and Baicheng for sunset (you can also watch the sunset from the Mountain-Sea Trail).
Avoid the flower tea and snowflake crisps! They taste terrible when you bring them home 😭 and a small amount costs hundreds of yuan!
Gulangyu ferry tickets include round-trip travel, and boats run 24 hours a day, but remember to book your tickets 3 days in advance.
There are 6 or 7 ferry terminals for Gulangyu, and some are far away! Don't worry about remembering them all; just go from [Dongdu Terminal → Sanqiutian Terminal].
And here are some foods I tried ⬇️
👉🏻 Haoshilai Seafood Restaurant: The ingredients are very fresh and prepared to order 🔪, and the environment has a great atmosphere for dining out 🥃. The portions are generous, the owner is honest, and it's even Michelin-recommended. Signature dishes: oyster rice, steamed tiger grouper.
👉🏻 Satay noodles: Freshly cooked broth, fragrant! Generous toppings.
👉🏻 Peanut soup: A dessert with a very unique local flavor, refreshing and sweet.
👉🏻 Xiamen taro buns: A snack that Xiamen locals have always loved.
👉🏻 Four-fruit soup: It tastes great!](https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/1mi0t12000tduavv683A2_W_320_0_R5.jpg?proc=source/trip)

Xiamen International Art Week is back! It is life, technology, and art. Life provides inspiration for art. Technology empowers life. And art injects soul into technology. Visiting an exhibition is like living a new life. The exhibition is divided into 5 major sections, bringing together 129 designers/artists and over 100 works. 📸 Exhibition highlights: 1⃣️ Art touches the world: showcasing unique art through paintings, sculptures, and videos. 2⃣️ Fashion lights up life: using design to showcase a different kind of life, and using life to showcase a different kind of design. 3⃣️ Urban-rural harmony: showcasing the beautiful picture of harmonious urban-rural coexistence through images, films, and modeling. 4⃣️ Cultural heritage and innovation: enabling the digital reproduction and "digital resurrection" of intangible cultural heritage and traditional culture. 5⃣️ Technology creates the future: showcasing the tension of art through short videos, digital works, digital installations, digital projections, and more. This is a feast of AI, VR, and interactive installations that reconstructs the boundaries of perception through digital technology. It is also a multi-dimensional art symphony of sight, sound, and smell. 📅 Exhibition dates: April 25–May 20, 2026 (closed on Mondays) 📍 Address: 95 Tiyu Road, Siming District, Xiamen (Xiamen Art Museum) 🎫 Admission: Free
