[2025 Xiamen Hotels] Travel Guide for Howard Johnson Jimei Lake Plaza Xiamen (Updated Jul)

Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel is located at 121 Ligong Road, the core area of Jimei New City. It is built on the shore of Meiji Lake, surrounded by the Xinglin Bay Business Operation Center and Software Park Phase III. There are also supporting facilities such as the Jiageng Theatre, the Library and the Science and Technology Discovery Center. When you enter the hotel lobby, you will be attracted by the bling bling. The hotel staff warmly received the whole process, making people feel at home. The hotel has a conference hall, gym, swimming pool and chess room, which are fully functional to meet diverse needs. We stayed in the lake view room, the room layout was square, and the equipment package was comfortable and advanced. The curtains are automatic and the beds are very soft. A lot of details are in place, convenient for leisure/office, very intimate. The buffet dinner and buffet breakfast are all served in the caf on the 1st floor. There are a wide variety of dinner buffets, such as seafood, sashimi, yak lamb chops, sizzling barbecue soup, hot and cold dishes, and dessert fruit drinks. I like the Buddha's jump wall, iron plate pork chop, spicy crayfish and caramel pudding. Breakfast loves Xiamen specialty noodle paste and freshly ground coffee. The taste of the meal is good, and the preparation is more attentive. Come to Jimei Holidays, dont miss the Howard Johnson Hotel in Jimei Lake~

Summer vacation is here, and keeping the kids entertained has become a challenge for every mom, especially after staying in Xiamen for so long and visiting many places. This time, we ventured a bit farther to Jimei for an immersive getaway. Jimei offers plenty of fun activities: Jimei Fruit Paradise, Chengyi Science and Technology Exploration Center, the "Bug Returns to Earth" and Petrified Wood Garden at the Horticulture Expo Garden, Xiamen Library's Jimei Branch, and the Lingling International Circus City—all great spots for family outings. What’s more, these attractions are conveniently close to each other, making it ideal to book a hotel and enjoy a few days of immersive fun. For this trip, we chose the Howard Johnson Jimei Lake Xiamen as our base—a perfect midpoint. The "Xiamen University-style" Jiageng architecture and the soothing lake views create a delightful atmosphere. The family-friendly rooms are a hit with kids 😍, featuring a small tent ⛺ and a rocking horse 🎠, brimming with playful charm. On the first day, we recommend relaxing at the hotel. Take a dip in the heated pool, enjoy afternoon tea and drinks at the executive lounge, and unwind with "Happy Hour" after 5 PM. After dinner, take a leisurely stroll along the lakeside promenade outside the hotel—the gentle breeze makes for a perfect evening 😊. On the second day, head to the Horticulture Expo Garden, which offers endless fun. Start by taking the ¥5 shuttle to the Petrified Wood Garden, then explore "Bug Returns to Earth," and finally, try kayaking at the Moonlight Ring Water Sports Center.

🏮The Lantern Festival is here! How are the babies in Xiamen planning to celebrate the festival? This special activity of Jimei Grand Shrine - Incense-cutting Parade Don't miss it! 🔥 Dragon dancing, parades, gongs and drums, it’s so lively! There is also a flash mob of electronic music San Taizi Follow our footsteps and find out together! - ✨【The origin of the incense-cutting parade】 During the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, Wang Shenzhi, as a frontier official of the Tang Dynasty, pacified Fujian and began his 29-year governance. He implemented policies well, which made the local economy prosperous and the people live in peace and happiness. He was honored as the "King of Fujian" for founding the foundation of Fujian. After Wang Shenzhi passed away, the Chen family of Jimei invited his statue into the Jimei Dashe Ancestral Hall for worship. In 1913, Tan Kah Kee returned to his hometown and started a large-scale construction project. He expanded the Chen family ancestral house to worship the "King of Fujian". During the Lantern Festival, villagers parade the statue of Wang Shenzhi in memory of him and to pray for a prosperous new year. Along the parade route, many people placed buckets, sweet potatoes, soybeans and other items at their doorsteps. It is said that this is to prepare food for the soldiers who "protect the country and respect the king", and it also contains beautiful expectations for the future. - 🧡【What is Yixiang】 "刈" means to cut in Minnan dialect, and sounds the same as "挂". The process of cutting incense is to go to the ancestral temple to divide the incense and return to the community to pray for the good luck. - 📣【Afternoon tour route】 ⏰Time: 13:30-17:30 1️⃣Around 13:30: The afternoon parade begins, passing through Dashe Road, arriving at Jiageng Park, Aoyuan, Jiageng Memorial Hall, and arriving at the "Shangtingjiao" incense point. Recommended locations for viewing the ceremony: Tan Kah Kee Park – Ao Garden – Incense burning at the “Upper Hall Corner” of the Tan Kah Kee Memorial Hall. 2️⃣After a short break, head to the "Tangkeng Corner" and "Qingzhaiwei Corner" in front of the Banyan Tree Food Stall. Recommended locations for viewing the ceremony: "Tangkeng Corner" and "Qingzhaiwei Corner" incense points. 3️⃣Walk along Xunjiang Road to the "Xincun" incense spot on Tangpu Road, and then to the "Neitoujiao" incense spot near the Home Inn chain hotel. "Neitoujiao" is the last stop of the tour. Recommended viewing locations: Tangpu Road "New Village" incense shop - Nei Tau Kok incense shop. 4️⃣After the inspection, the team started their return journey, passing through the McDonald’s intersection of Shigu Road, Jiyuan Road, and Tangpu Road, and returned to the ancestral house of Jimei Dashe. After returning to the ancestral house, the statues circled around the house, and then went in and out of the house three times, returning to the Chuan Linggong Temple, ending the day's tour. Recommended locations for viewing the ceremony: Shigu Road McDonald’s intersection – Jimei Dashe ancestral home – Chuanlinggong Temple. - 😋【Nearby food recommendations】 Dashe Opera Stage Shacha Noodles, Dashe Ah Fa Hai Wax Cake, Liansheng Fried Noodles, Ah Mei Large Intestine Blood, Zao Xiangfeng Breakfast Shop (Taro Cake), Bie Dou Tang Shui, Ye Tai Dessert, Wu Xia - 🧡【tips】 It rains a lot during the Lantern Festival, so remember to bring your rain gear when traveling~ When traveling, do not stand in front of the statues, and watch in a civilized manner~

Life Advice: 😭 When you visit Xiamen, don't just go to Gulangyu Island. This place is breathtaking! Feel the sea breeze 🌊, walk along the flower-filled paths 💐. At the Haidi Memorial Park railway, enjoy a City Walk. Fewer people, great for photos 📷. Bring your friends along. - Here, there's an abandoned railway 🛤️, lined with oleanders. Walk along the path, and you might see speeding trains 🚄. It's also a popular spot for photographers, known as 'Xiamen's Little Kamakura'! Check out the guide and save it 🔥! - 🚌【Transportation Guide】 🚘 Drive to 'Xiamen Salt Industry Gaoqi Storage Center' or 'Time Coast'. Or take Metro Line 1, get off at Jimei School Village Station 🚇, and walk about 30 minutes towards the island. ⚠️ It's not recommended to navigate directly to Haidi Memorial Park, as many people get lost. - 🕠【Recommended Time】 In autumn and winter, it's best to go around 3 PM. The light is soft, perfect for photos. After enjoying the beautiful scenery, you can head to the Ten-Mile Long Dike to catch a sunset 🌅. - ⛺【Itinerary Suggestion】 Navigate to 'Time Coast' to check out the railway and take a walk 👫——walk back along the coast to the 'Yishan Tianhai' monument, take beautiful train photos——take a taxi to Gaoqi Metro Station, take the sea metro Line 1 🚇 to Jimei School Village Station——listen to music 🎸 and enjoy the evening breeze at the Ten-Mile Long Dike. - 🔥【Notes】 ✅ Parking is difficult near Haidi Memorial Park, so it's better to park at 'Xiamen Salt Industry Gaoqi Storage Center' or take a taxi. ✅ The 'Sea Metro Line 1' from Miyazaki's films runs from Gaoqi Airport Station to Jimei School Village Station, taking about 2-3 minutes. Have your camera 📷 ready! ✅ There are usually live performances at the Ten-Mile Long Dike from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM 😍, so plan your visit accordingly. ✅ For foodies, check out the trunk market at the Ten-Mile Long Dike 🍰 for lots of fun and delicious treats.

Every time I pass by Xiamen, too lazy to go onto the island, I choose to stay at the Xiamen Jimei Lake Howard Johnson Hotel, which is pretty good in all aspects. After the New Year, I stayed for one night on my way back to Fuzhou. The service staff were as enthusiastic as ever, and parking was still so convenient. I didn't read the reservation carefully, it was marked that the window was small, but who knew it couldn't even be opened. I thought the room would be on a high floor, but to my surprise, it was on the same floor as the 3rd-floor banquet hall and swimming pool. Oh my goodness, I could cry. Even more surprising was that the water pressure in the shower on the 3rd floor seemed to suffer from prostate problems, let's sing together: 'The light rain in March, pitter-patter...' The breakfast was still as delicious as I remembered, always served in generous portions, unlike some hotels that run out of dishes near the end of breakfast time. There were many waiters, who cleared the tables very quickly, and their service attitude was good.
