Baicheng Beach: Where Xiamen Uni Students Skip Class (And You Join Them)"** 🏖️🎓

#summervacay Just a 5-minute stroll from Xiamen University’s back gate, this **sandy hideout** is where textbooks are swapped for tan lines, and the ocean views come with a side of *youthful rebellion*. Here’s your **cheeky guide** to Xiamen’s most convenient beach escape: --- ### **Why Baicheng?** ✅ **No Transit Struggle**: Closest beach to downtown (bye, long bus rides). ✅ **Sunset Drama**: Views of **Gulangyu Island** and passing cargo ships. ✅ **Student Energy**: Watch undergrads play guitar, chug beers, and *pretend to study*. --- ### **📍 Sneaky Access** - **From Xiamen University**: Exit via **Taiwan Research Center** back gate (look for the tiny alley). - **Taxi Drop**: “白城沙滩” (*Báichéng shātān*)—but walking is half the fun. - **Bus**: Route 20/22 to “Hulishan” stop (then 8-min walk). --- ### **🏄 What to Actually Do** 1. **Rent a Bike**: Cruise the **coastal boardwalk** to Zengcuo’an (30 mins). 2. **Beachside Snacks**: Vendors sell **grilled squid** (¥10) and *coconut boys* hack open fresh ones. 3. **Tidal Treasures**: Hunt for shells at low tide (or just people-watch). --- ### **⏰ Pro Tips** - **Golden Hour**: 5-7PM for **soft light + fewer vendors**. - **Avoid Weekends**: Unless you love dodging *family photo ops*. - **Shoes Off**: Sand is meh, but the vibe is A+. **Verdict:** Not the Maldives, but *way* better than the library.
