Five-day tour of Kinmen and Xiamen, experience of entering the country by ferry

It was my first time to go to Kinmen, and also my first time to take a boat to the mainland. I usually take a plane✈️ Xiamen is really good for shopping. I stayed at the #Quanji Hotel on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. There were many clothing stores nearby, 3 pieces for 100rmb. It was very good to buy. I couldn’t fit my luggage on the way back😂 Xiamen has a lot of food that is very similar to Taiwan, but with local characteristics. I like the dry fried ginger duck very much, it’s really delicious! Recommend #Adai Ginger Duck. Locals eat here. The master who massaged our feet and friends from Xiamen University all recommend this. You must eat it when you go to Xiamen. There are many branches. The one I ate is near Zhongshan Road. Pay attention to the business hours. They all close at 20:00 and there is no midnight snack. I personally think the most worthwhile attraction in Xiamen is the #Overseas Chinese Museum built by the overseas Chinese #Chen Jiageng in Xiamen. It is very large. In addition to introducing the history of the development of Chinese overseas, it also exhibits Chen Jiageng's own collections. It takes at least 3 hours to walk out of it. My feet are so sore😆 📍Address: No. 493 Siming South Road, Siming District, Xiamen City #Gulangyu is a must-see attraction in Xiamen. Foreign tourists have to go to the Dongdu Boat Wharf to buy a 20 RMB round-trip ticket. When I went there, I went to the wrong wharf. I went to the first wharf used by Xiamen residents, which only sold 80 RMB tourist tickets to Gulangyu. So I had to spend a few yuan to take a boat to Songyu, and then transfer from Songyu Wharf to Gulangyu. It cost a little more money and time, but there was an auntie selling straw hats and sunglasses at Songyu Wharf, who gave a very affordable price (I don’t know where to find sunglasses for 10 RMB), so this short stay was still worth it. I highly recommend the bar in Xiamen at night #Remeroof It is on the fourth floor of the ferry terminal for the night cruise on Lujiang River. You can't see anything downstairs, you have to go upstairs to feel the vibe. Please be sure to go to the fourth floor to have a look! 📍Address: No. 2, D2, 4th Floor, No. 3 Lujiang Road, Siming District, Xiamen I accidentally said too much~ If you want to know my more detailed itinerary, you can leave a message and I will share the itinerary with you👍
