: Precautions
1. Xiamen, as a popular tourist city in China, is a "peak season" almost all year round, so it is necessary to be prepared to be in the same city with many tourists. Although one person is not as happy as others, of course, a proper peak shift can still bring a better travel experience. The methods are all in this article.
There are many black cars in Xiamen, and there are long queues at the gates of almost all major scenic spots. According to the local warning, the price will be too high. It is recommended to use taxi software or avoid stopping at the entrance of scenic spots. Moreover, some drivers will lie to you and say, "So-and-so scenic spot is not open now, so it's better to take a yacht at sea", "So-and-so pedestrians can't get there, so they can only take a bus or take a taxi" and so on. Some performances are quite true, and we almost believed them-_-so the best way to strike up a conversation with such people is to politely refuse. Although it is also possible to accidentally injure some sincere people-_-alas!
3. Gulangyu Ferry should buy tickets in advance. If you buy it on the same day or just one day in advance, you may not be able to buy an ordinary boat at Sanqiutian Ferry Terminal, but it is better to buy a luxury boat at Neicuoao Ferry Terminal. The specific steps of WeChat ticket purchase will be explained in detail later.
4. Visit Xiamen University, bring your ID card, brush the park and pay attention to the opening hours. It will be open to the public after weekdays 12- 14 (limited to 1000 people) and 17:30 (unlimited number of people), and it will be open to the public normally on weekends, legal holidays and winter and summer vacations. Only the south gate or Qunxian school gate can enter. It is not recommended to eat in furong canteen!
5. Choose stores carefully and consume rationally. It is not normal for the price to be too high or too low, so remember, "neither too high nor too cheap." Check online word of mouth before entering the store, or recommend it by reliable local friends. We are lucky this time. We are satisfied with our food and accommodation. The link recommendation is at the back.
6. Go to a regular fruit shop to buy fruit. There are many kinds of fruits in Xiamen, which are delicious. I especially like Sakyamuni, but if you really want to bring it, you'd better go to a regular store and pack it on the spot instead of buying it off-the-shelf. In fact, it is very convenient to buy fruit online now, so you don't have to recite it.
7. Carefully choose a team tour. I seldom join a group, but I don't reject this form. After all, it is easy for most people. But after all, the current market environment is rather chaotic, so I suggest you choose a large regular travel agency. It is best to "promise not to shop", get what you pay for, and don't pursue low prices too much.
8. Be friendly and keep smiling. But last but not least, don't look at a city or a person with colored glasses because of individual "cheating" phenomenon. The above is just a reminder for everyone. Less trouble on the trip will make you happier, right? But more caution does not mean less kindness. After all, most businesses are law-abiding and hospitable. For example, even if we meet soliciting, we smile and politely refuse. Although we don't approve of their operation methods, I respect everyone's individuality. Laugh for the sake of laughing, even if you can't do business, you don't have to be an enemy.
Matters needing attention in article 10
1, let's talk about the problem of going to Gulangyu that everyone is most concerned about. Since last September, the trip to Gulangyu has changed a lot compared with before, and the immature operation of these changes has also caused various dissatisfaction. Half a year has passed, I can only say that although many things are not perfect, at least the government has been working hard. For tourists, the biggest change is getting on and off Gulangyu Island. They will go to different docks at different times (before summer 18:30, before winter 17:30, the new dock, and then return to the old dock at night). The ticket price has also changed from 8 yuan to 35 yuan and 50 yuan, and all the tickets are sold out. Not when you want to get on the bus. Therefore, I suggest that you think about your estimated time to go to the island first, then check the available flights on official website () or official WeChat (xmferry), buy tickets in advance, and then leave enough time to arrive at the dock according to your location. In the past, tickets could only be bought through the website, the ticket window of Du Dong Wharf and the self-service ticket vending machine. Now, as long as you open WeChat, you can check the remaining tickets and book tickets anytime and anywhere. It should be said that there is still great progress. The operation process of WeChat ticket purchase can be referred to.

Tell me more about Xiamen airport. Xiamen T4 Terminal was put into use at the end of last year. At present, Xiamen is using T3T4 two terminals, Xiamen Airlines, China Southern Airlines and Hebei Airlines, and all international flights are in T3 terminal; Other domestic flights are at T4. The airport in Xiamen has been subverting people's concept of the airport. Because he is really close to the city, the traffic is convenient and there is basically no traffic jam. It's about 20 minutes by taxi in 50 yuan.
After talking about the airport, we should also talk about the railway station. At the beginning of this year, Xiamen Railway Station resumed operation and Gaoqi Railway Station withdrew from the historical stage. At present, both Xiamen Station and Xiamen North Station are in operation. Xiamen station is not far from the city center, and Xiamen North Station is very remote. So try to buy tickets for Xiamen station if possible. If you are going to Xiamen North Station, try not to arrive at midnight or leave early in the morning when buying tickets, otherwise it is really inconvenient. Basically, take a taxi at 100, but it is not always easy to take a taxi. However, it is quite convenient to go by bus during the day, although it is a bit frustrating.
Just now, I talked about the taxi problem. This should be quite serious in every city at present. The overall quality of taxi drivers is mixed. Refuse a ride, detour, the most hateful thing is to drag you to spend and get kickbacks. If you don't know the way, you can call your hotel to help explain the route. In addition, don't trust hotels and seafood stalls recommended by taxi drivers, especially those by the sea that take you to dinner. If necessary, the complaint telephone number of the management office is 0592-56 156 10.
Eating seafood in Xiamen is the choice of many people. In fact, many regular stalls in Xiamen are not expensive. Now there are many outdoor seafood barbecues in Gulangyu, Zengcuo Village and even the seaside. Personally, I really don't recommend you to choose. Let's not talk about the damage caused by these stalls to the whole environment for the time being. Unless you have a strong stomach, don't eat these stale things for your health. Those bread crabs are poisonous, and those huge snail shells don't know what meat is stuffed in them, so they are used repeatedly. Those lobsters have been dead for days. In addition, there are many fake glasses and 14 1 in Xiamen now. Don't trust those old cottage brands that taxis take you to, or the whole budget of your trip to Xiamen will be lost on a seafood dinner. If you have arrived at the door of the seafood shop, you should pay attention. There are many taxis parked at the door, and those without formal signs and light boxes are basically black shops.
Regarding accommodation, there are many choices to come to Xiamen besides holidays. Of course, the quality gap is also very large. No matter who recommended it, if you want to stay in the hotel that suits you best, you should find the direct contact information of the hotel, ask your worries and doubts clearly, and check the service attitude of the hotel during the consultation process.
7. At present, there will be some body art and cartoon characters hanging around the scenic spot to greet you. It seems friendly, but don't be fooled. Go up and have a happy photo with them, and then you will be charged. Although it is not easy for them to dress like that on a hot day, it is still disgusting. Including the owner who let the golden retriever sell flowers in the hot sun of Guyu Island, personally, he really disapproves of this behavior.
8. The wild tour guides on Gulangyu Island have been exposed many times, but they have no intention of convergence at all. I remember when I was pestered to find a guide. First, don't be deceived by the cheap price, because their final service will make you suffer heavy losses. Second, don't conflict with them, because they have certain group strength. Don't find yourself unhappy as soon as you come out, say no with a smile and stick to your own path.
9. Every season in Xiamen has different beauty. If you come here many times, I suggest you choose different seasons to experience it. June-10 can go to sea, but the temperature is slightly higher. April, May, October and November are the most comfortable months. From February to March, there are relatively few people, so it is easier to fall in love here. Of course, the four seasons are also one of the attractive reasons here. Bauhinia in winter, kapok in March and April, phoenix tree in May and June, bougainvillea blooming every year. These distinctive southern flowers and trees are always intoxicating.
10. At present, Xiamen University is limited to guests from Monday to Friday. After noon 12:00- 14:00 and afternoon 17:00, you can swipe your card from the west or south gate. There is also a number limit at noon. It is open to tourists on weekends, winter and summer vacations, but you must also brush your ID card. At present, tourists are not allowed to enter the campus in the Lotus Tunnel unless they are mixed with students by bike. Therefore, visiting Xiamen University is not during the winter and summer vacations. It is suggested to choose the weekend early, which can save a lot of time.
