[2025 Xiamen Stay] Travel Guide for Swiss Grand Xiamen (Updated Jan)

Sharing my tips for a 3-day 2-night trip to Xiamen, for friends who are thinking of going there soon🌟 ✈️Travel - Cost 1600💰(round trip) ◾️I left from Chengdu at the end of June, and the round-trip airfare was reasonable, but it might be a bit more expensive now due to the summer holidays 🏨Accommodation - Cost 1500💰(two nights) ◾️I stayed at the Ruiyi Hotel, which is close to Gulangyu Island. I chose a sea-view room, and the scenery was indeed nice with good value for money. The hotel was very popular, the only downside was that check-in was only available after 3 pm, so I had to wait half a day at the hotel, and to get takeout, I had to go to the parking lot at the back 🍽️Dining - Cost 1750💰(three days) ◾️Tianjie Fu Seafood Stall - 300💰: A must-visit restaurant, the place is small but the taste is really good, the seafood is fresh, and it's good value for money. I recommend the seafood roll and oyster pancake ◾️Zuiyi No.1 Seafood Stall - 750💰: Another must-visit restaurant, it seems to be more popular than Tianjie Fu, with a richer menu. Every dish is good, I recommend the lemon crab and ginger duck, but the spicy frog is just so-so ◾️Tangyan · Old Xiamen Private Kitchen - 350💰: A must-visit restaurant, featured in 'The Taste', many celebrities have dined here. I really recommend their yellow croaker with vermicelli, even as someone who doesn't like fish, I found it delicious. The soup is very fresh, and the crispy taro duck is also good (Zhao Lusi loves it too) ◾️Lychee Couple · Seafood Private Kitchen - 350💰: This one leans more towards private kitchen style, with a variety of dishes and stronger flavors. The cold fish belly is very tasty, and the pork bone tea is also good. Honestly, the number one ranked golden soup seafood stew was just average 🏝️Attractions - Cost 190💰(Gulangyu ferry ticket + attractions) ◾️Shapowei: A trendy spot for taking photos, with many stalls selling trinkets. There are some popular photo spots so it's quite crowded. Taking the elevator, you can take pictures at the Shapowei rainbow wall (you must muster the courage to take photos, as everyone below is watching you) ◾️Gulangyu: Buy ferry tickets in advance on 'Yu Jian Xiamen'. I bought a luxury boat VIP cabin, which was really comfortable on the way there, with no need to queue for security checks and direct access to the lounge with staff reception. The VIP cabin is comfortable, but the return trip was on a regular boat. To be honest, Xiamen is too hot, and it's really hard to walk around the island. I ended up paying 50 for a sightseeing car ◾️Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street: It's like many cities' snack and shopping streets, nice to stroll around, but the food is just so-so ✅Conclusion Overall, Xiamen is a very suitable city for travel. If it doesn't rain, the scenery is really beautiful, the sky is very blue, but it's a bit hot recently. The locals are also very warm and hospitable. Chatting with many locals, everyone seems very nice. The food tastes are acceptable, and I will definitely go again if I have the chance, to visit other attractions that I didn't get to check out

Zhenhai Road Subway Station is on the left side of the hotel, Zhongshan Road is on the right side, and the ferry terminal is opposite.

The room is spacious, whether it is a room with a view of Gulangyu Island or a suite, it can be said to be a hotel with a superior location, quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle. 3. It was my birthday when I checked in, and when the hotel staff was handling it, they not only sent their blessings, but also sent a gift (portable tea set) on behalf of the hotel, which was very warm and thoughtful. Xiao Zhao provided high-quality service, and was enthusiastic and thoughtful.

[Art Island] I like art. I often go to art galleries, art galleries, and museums. I heard that there is an art island on the 29th floor of the Radisson Hotel on the ferry. I just passed by this weekend and went to enjoy it. Something. From the 29th floor of the elevator facing the right side of the hotel lobby, there are several places that seem to be art-like, and the middle one is the Art Island. The environment inside is really artistic. The white walls, floors, tables and chairs are pure and flawless. There are many paintings on the wall, which are worthy of appreciation. The most powerful is the whole wall facing the sea, from the roundabout road, the twin towers, the Yanwu Bridge, to the Gulangyu Island, then to the Zhangzhou Port, the cruise terminal, the Haitang Bridge, the panoramic view, the wide view The scenery is so good, and it is beautiful to watch the sunset in the evening. Art Island is still a coffee shop. There are delicious hand-made coffee and a variety of drinks. The desserts are also beautiful and delicious. Enjoy art, enjoy the scenery and have an afternoon tea. Very pleasant. In the afternoon, from time to time, there are literary young women who come here, but unfortunately there are almost no men coming, I hope more men can get rid of the busy, come to Art Island to enjoy a better life.
