Xiamen 3-Day Itinerary — Everyone’s Asking Me About It!

#springitinerary There’s something magical about the sea in Xiamen — every time I see it, I fall in love all over again 💙. Whether you're strolling down Huandao Road, wandering around Gulangyu Island, or feeling the evening breeze at Baicheng Beach, Xiamen never stops surprising. From sunset at the shore to glittering night views from the hills, this place is packed with beauty! Here’s a 3-day, 2-night travel guide I stayed up late to write — tailored just for you, princesses 💕 Save it now! 🏨 Where to Stay Near Zhongshan Road — super convenient for transport and close to all the fun spots! 🗓️ Itinerary Summary Day 1 – Urban Coastal Vibes Route: Zhongshan Road → Yefeng Zhai → Wanyue Slope → Music Plaza → Baicheng Beach → Shapowei Highlights: Zhongshan Road 🏛️: Pedestrian street with arcade-style buildings — perfect for IG-worthy photos. Yefeng Zhai 🌴: Beachy vibes with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and swings — feels like you're on a California beach. Wanyue Slope 📸: A photogenic walking path full of hidden surprises. Think indie bookstore vibes + Jeju Island aesthetics. Music Plaza 🌅: Prime sunset spot with grassy areas and seaside rocks. The orange glow makes for beautifully relaxed photos. Shapowei 🎨🍲: Xiamen’s artsy district and foodie paradise. Quirky shops, cafés, and lots of must-try eats!

Shuzhuang Garden & Piano Museum 🎹🌿: Beautiful garden and one-of-a-kind organ performances. Eighth Market (Ba Shi) 🥟🦞: One of the city’s oldest neighborhoods — full of smoky street stalls and real local flavor. Day 3 – Culture & Chill Route: Qingshui Temple → Sea Train → Jimei University Village → Jimei Academy → Yuanbo Park → Nanhu Twin Towers Highlights: Qingshui Temple 🛕: Historic temple with local spiritual charm. Sea Train (海上列车) 🚆: A scenic ride along the coast! Jimei Area 🎓: Explore Jimei University Village and the grand Jimei Academy — feels scholarly and peaceful.
