Take full-body photos under the tree for a truly atmospheric experience. Recommended for 3-4 PM when the light is soft and avoids backlighting. 2.

Lawn Christmas Decorations: Christmas dolls and fairy lights scattered across the lawn.

Lakeside Boardwalk: Christmas decorations and greenery are reflected in the lake. Walking along the boardwalk for photos of your back creates a wonderful ambiance, and it looks even more dreamy at night. 🕒 Best Time to Visit & Tips • Time: We recommend leaving your hotel at 10:00 AM to avoid the afternoon crowds. Spend 2-3 hours exploring, and then stay until the evening to take photos of the park's night view. On Christmas Eve (December 24th), the park will be open until 8:00 PM, and there will be a small Christmas concert for an even stronger atmosphere. • Attire: Wear Christmas colors such as red, white, and beige, along with a scarf, gloves, and a Santa hat for more themed photos. • Items to Bring: Bring a power bank and a portable hand warmer. You can also bring your own small Christmas props (Christmas stockings, fairy lights) for better photos. • Avoidance: The food in the park is a bit pricey. It's better to buy snacks and drinks from a convenience store near your hotel for better value. 🎡 Christmas-themed Outlets | Non-stop Shopping and Eating 1. Jimei University Village Christmas Street: A 10-minute taxi ride from the island's gardens. Shops along the street are adorned with Christmas decorations, and the red brick arcades and colorful lights create a retro and romantic atmosphere, perfect for taking Christmas-themed street photos. 2. Shigu Road Night Market Christmas Food: A 15-minute walk from the hotel, offering limited-edition Christmas sugar cookies, mulled wine, and roasted sweet potatoes. These warm and comforting treats are incredibly soothing. After shopping, you can easily return to the hotel to rest. 🌟 Christmas Travel Summary Come to Xiamen for Christmas and stay at the Jinjiang Inn Premium Hotel to unlock the tranquil romance of Jimei Island's gardens—no crowds, great photo opportunities, convenient commuting, immersive Christmas atmosphere, and comfortable accommodation.
