Hongshan Garden is a hidden gem of a park. As it is set upon a hill, it provides great views of both the two nearby towers and Gulangyu Island, particularly as sun is setting. Once the sun has set, you can also admire the lights of Xiamen at night. Hongshan Temple is also at the top of the hill. If you like visiting temples, don't miss this one.

Hongshan Park was historically known for the beauty of its landscape in the drizzling rain. Now, after several renovations, it has finally been restored to its former glory. Peculiar rocks are can be found all over this quiet spot, which is nestled within the busy downtown area. Climb upwards to find a spectacular view of Xiamen's Shimao Straits Towers and Gulangyu Island.

| Sunset Romance. 🌊Gulangyu Island is a small island next to Xiamen, surrounded by the sea, quiet and artistic. You don't have to deliberately look for a place to watch the sunset, just find a west-facing seaside or high ground to enjoy it! ⛵️Standing by the sea, you can see the sun slowly sinking below the sea level, like a "salted egg yolk" soaking in the water, the sea sparkling. 🏝️There are many century-old villas and banyan trees on the island. When the setting sun shines, the red brick walls turn orange-red, and the shadows of the trees are mottled, like a retro filter. 🌅At sunset, the sky changes from golden yellow to pinkish purple to deep blue. If you're lucky, you can also see "fiery clouds," like orange soda overturned in the sky. Chasing the sunset in Xiamen is truly healing! Sharing a few 📷 photogenic spots No professional equipment needed, your phone can also capture the atmosphere Save this list and take a spontaneous trip~ 📍Shili Changdi (Ten Mile Long Embankment) The double impact of the sea train + orange-pink sunset!

Hongshan Park is a park on the mountain, which offers a clear view of Xiamen City, especially the view of Piano Island. There are also strange-shaped rocks scattered around, and the forest is lush and green, and it looks very refreshing. It is a city leisure park. At the western foot of Hongshan Mountain, there is Hongshan Temple, a Qing Dynasty building covering an area of ​​300 square meters. It is a small and exquisite two-story building. The poem on the temple's walkway pillars reads, "The grand plan divides the tourist attractions of Lujiang into 8 scenes, and the mountain scenery connects with the blue sea to save all living things." In front of the temple, there is a large stone carved with 4 characters, "Hongshan Zhiyu". In the past, when there was strong wind and heavy rain, the two mountains would collide. The wind blew hard, and the rain changed direction with the wind, blowing through the green forest and cliffs like a woven cloth. Therefore, it has become one of the 8 famous scenic spots in Xiamen. 🕰️ Opening hours: Open all day 📍Address: Ximen City, Ximen District, Ximen South Road Central 🗓️Travel planning: There are buses passing through, or you can take the MRT to Zhongshan Road and walk a bit. #Get a discount without relying on luck

||. A small park in the center of Xiamen~ You can see both the Twin Towers and the sea, Gulangyu Island It's right next to Zhongshan Road but almost no tourists come! ! 📝Walking route: 📍Hongshan Temple👉Take the elevator on the first floor directly to the 5F. Turn right when you get out of the elevator and see the outdoor stone stairs. Then you can walk all the way up👉There are many spots along the way where you can take pictures of the Twin Towers👉There is also the Kennedy Town view of Hong Kong, which is the same as the Internet celebrity👉You will see the teahouse all the way up👉Continue to go up and there is a pavilion at the highest point where you can overlook Gulangyu Island on the opposite bank ps: The whole journey takes about 1 hour~ You can start walking around 4 pm just in time to watch the sunset🌇

Visiting Xiamen, the Twin Towers are an unmissable presence, there are many spots to photograph the Twin Towers, but the coolest spot is definitely the viewing pavilion at the top of Hongshan Park, longing for the Sunlight Rock on Gulangyu Island across the sea, but here at an altitude of 125 meters is even better than Sunlight Rock, not only can you overlook the entire panorama of Gulangyu Island, but it's also an excellent spot to shoot the Twin Towers. - 📍Hongshan Park, Xiamen 🚇Metro Line 1 Zhenhai Station Exit 3, walk 300 meters 🎫Free, no reservation needed. 🧗Hiking route: Entrance ➡️ Hongshan Temple ➡️ Hongshan Academy ➡️ Summit Viewing Platform ➡️ Yanping Junwang Garden ➡️ Jiaxing Pool ➡️ Jiaxing Academy (where you can have tea) ➡️ Exit. ⏰Hongshan Park is quite small, it takes less than 1 hour to walk around, the path is all steps, and it's not difficult to walk. 📷Photography in the morning is against the light, it is recommended to come after four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the light is good and very suitable for portrait photography, and also suitable for shooting and viewing the night scene of the Twin Towers. On a clear day, the view of the sea from here is also super beautiful, when I went it was sunny turning to cloudy, the visibility was very low, a pity for such a good view. ⏰There is a very popular small pond spot in Hongshan Park, when I went the pond was dry, it's a very shallow pond and probably only has water after the rain.

Hongshan Park is really a niche check-in spot that is very suitable for scenery lovers. It’s really strange, why Xiamen is so popular, but this park right in the city center is rarely recommended. Occasionally I see some people coming here to take photos with the Twin Towers, but no one has ever said that the scenery photos here can be so beautiful! 1️⃣ Hongshan Park is a small hill. It takes less than 20 minutes to get up from the foot of the hill. From the top of the hill, you can directly overlook Ludao, Xiamen University, Gulangyu Island, the Twin Towers, and the undulating mountains and seas in the distance. You can take some amazing photos! 2️⃣Sunrise time. Since Xiamen is relatively south, their sunrise is not too early in summer and not too late in winter. At this time, probably only travelers who love scenery can get up and come to the top of Hongshan Park. The sun rises over Xiamen University. If you encounter marine advection fog, it will be a huge win! 3️⃣Sunset. It’s really rare to find a place where you can take photos of both sunrise and sunset, right? But Hongshan Park is fine! ! ! At sunset, you can take photos of the city, the sea and the sunset. 4️⃣Airplane. Because Xiamen's airport is on the island, you can take pictures of large planes flying over the city when you are in Xiamen city. 5️⃣Aerial photography. Flying is not prohibited here, and there is a large platform for you to take off, ensuring the safety of your flight. So, what else is there to say? Scenery lovers must not miss this place when visiting Xiamen! language:
