Xiamen Travel Guide (July Edition)

Xiamen blends island charm with cultural heritage. With hot summers (average 30°C+), we recommend morning/evening outings and sun protection. Top 6 attractions: 1. Gulangyu Island (UNESCO World Heritage) Take a ferry to explore Sunlight Rock's panoramic views, international architecture cluster, and Shuzhuang Garden's Piano Museum. Book ferry tickets in advance via "Xiamen Ferry" WeChat. 2. Xiamen University & South Putuo Temple (Siming District) Don't miss the graffiti tunnel (campus entry requires reservation). Nearby South Putuo Temple offers vegetarian meals and Wulao Peak's Twin Towers view. 3. Island Ring Road Cycling (Coconut Wind Village-Huangcuo section recommended) Rent e-bikes along coastal routes passing Calligraphy Square and Zengcuoan, with stunning sunset beaches. 4. Zengcuoan (Minnan Artistic Fishing Village) Narrow alleys feature local snacks like satay noodles and worm jelly. Try "Ashin Toast" and "Big Ice's Hut" nighttime performances. 5. Shapowei Art Zone (Trendy Landmark) A transformed dock area with creative markets, cafes, and graffiti walls perfect for photos, featuring Twin Towers' nighttime reflections. 6. Xiamen Botanical Garden (Xishan Section) Giant cacti in desert plants area and rainforest mist effects (9:30-11:30/14:30-16:30) create fairy-tale scenery. Tips: ● Book Gulangyu "International Cruise Center-Sanqiutian" route 1 day in advance ● Metro Line 1 connects Zhongshan Road and Jimei School Village (with sea-view section between Gaoqi-Jimei) ● Carry foldable umbrellas for July showers and mosquito repellent
