Xiamen is so pleasant in April, is it because there are old friends here? Is it because the plants are lush? Is it because of the blue sky and white clouds? Is it because of the bright sunshine, the unique old villa, or the flowers covering the hills and beaches?
I can’t tell. I only know that every day in Xiamen is comfortable and happy. Don't think about anything, just think about Xiamen - you can blow the wind and look at the flowers at the beach; you can sit on the grass covered with fallen leaves and bask in the sun; you can pick a mulberry to eat on Gulangyu Island; you can ask about every flower. , the name of each tree; you can still do nothing... What a luxurious happiness.
Facing the sea, the spring flowers are blooming, the simpler, the happier. Traffic Tips
Transportation from the airport to the city
Take the city bus and go west after leaving the airport for about 3-5 minutes. 6 Yuan/person
Take bus No. 27, 37, or 41, but it is quite a distance from the terminal to the bus
Take a taxi. The starting price for Xiamen taxis is 8 yuan. When paying, you need to add 1 yuan more to the amount shown on the meter, which is the fuel surcharge prescribed by the government
From the airport to Xiamen Ferry Terminal, there are generally two taxi routes: Shugang Road Line (this line costs about 40 yuan, and it takes about 20 minutes when there is no traffic jam); Island Ring Route (this line costs about 70 yuan, and it takes about 30 minutes when there is no traffic jam, and this line has better scenery).
The ship between Xiamen and Gulangyu Island is operated by a large ship during the day. It is free for a large ship to go from Xiamen to Gulangyu Island. There is a fee for returning from Gulangyu Island to Xiamen. That is to say, the one-way fee is 8 yuan/person. But regardless of whether you are going or returning, you need to pay 1 yuan to get on the second floor of the big ship, and the journey only takes a few minutes.
Most buses have 1 yuan coins, which can be exchanged for a large amount of 1 yuan before traveling, which is convenient for use. Take the ferry to Gulangyu Island, which leaves every ten minutes. Choose the ferry instead of the cruise ship. The outbound trip is free, and you can buy a ticket for the return trip, which costs 8 yuan. There are three terminals: Ferry Pier, Sanqiutian Pier and Gulang Villa. It is recommended to disembark at Sanqiutian Pier. When buying tickets, you have to distinguish between transition (8 yuan) or island tour (15 yuan). The ticket sellers will basically not take the initiative to remind you.
