Xiamen Xiadao Fun Exploration|Hidden Treasures and Sweetness

The fun of Xiamen overflows with freshness and joy as soon as you step onto the island~✨​ Xiaodeng Island Battlefield Ruins・Explore Mysteries​ A place with more stories than ordinary attractions! The old bunkers are covered in greenery, the lights in the tunnels glow warm yellow, and walking through the passages while listening to the guide talk about the past🔍 Touch the weathered cannon platform, and your fingertips can feel the traces of time. The mudflats beside the ruins are perfect for beachcombing; bring a small shovel to dig for clams, and when you bend down, little crabs scurry away with a "rustle." The sunset dyes the mudflats golden red, and your small bucket quickly fills with "spoils," giving you a huge sense of accomplishment~​ Bashi Traditional Dessert Workshop・Handmade Sweet Treats​ A sweet experience hidden at the end of an alley! Learn to make peanut soup with Grandma, the slowly simmered peanuts "bubble" as you stir, filling the air with a glutinous aroma🥜 Then try making mochi; roll the glutinous rice dough into a ball in your palm, coat it with crushed peanuts and sugar, and one bite is sweet to the heart. Grandma smiles and praises, "You learn fast," and you pack up the sweets you made yourself. Even the box carries the warmth of handmade care, making it very meaningful to share with friends~​ Huangcuo Night Sea Stargazing・Romantic Fun​ A more healing seaside night than the day! Lie on a beach mat and watch the stars, the waves lapping the shore like a gentle lullaby🌌 Occasionally, sky lanterns float into the night sky, their tiny lights incredibly romantic. Buy a freshly grilled squid skewer, so fragrant it makes you swallow hard, paired with a cup of chilled coconut water, the cool sweetness blending with the sea breeze. Chat with companions, watch the distant lighthouse flicker softly, and even the night feels tender—such a night is unforgettable~​ Jimei Academy Village Dragon Boat Pond・Leisurely Fun​ A corner more pleasant than the shopping district! The phoenix trees by the pond bloom brilliantly, their red petals falling on the water like little boats🚣 Sit on a stone bench and watch students practice dragon boating, the drumbeats "dong dong" full of energy. The nearby traditional bakery smells wonderful; buy a pineapple bun with a crispy crust and creamy filling, one bite full of happiness. Take a photo of the dragon boat pond and ancient buildings, the blue and white colors so fresh you don’t even need a filter~​ 💡Fun Exploration Tips​ Bring double rain boots for beachcombing! The mud on the mudflats sticks easily to your feet~ Bring a light jacket for night sea stargazing! The sea breeze is a bit cool~ Be patient when simmering peanut soup! It’s only glutinous when fully cooked~​ The charm of Xiamen isn’t the rush of checking in, but the wonder of adventure, the sweetness of handmade treats, and the softness of the night sea. This kind of fun truly captures the joy of Xiamen~💫
