Words written in the front:

Spring and autumn are the best seasons to go to Xiamen. Now it's spring and flowers are blooming. It's time for me to start my journey to Xiamen. If I don't start writing, I'm afraid I'll be whipped by everyone. Go to Xiamen for six days, leave a lot of photos, a lot of memories, a lot of feelings, write down bit by bit, to provide a reference for friends who want to go.

Before I went to Xiamen, I remember asking my friends, "how many days is enough to have a good time in Xiamen?", Some people say three days is enough, others think a week is not much. So simply do not answer, their own heart, experience will understand, this is a no solution to the problem.

How long we stay in a city depends entirely on our fate with the city. We spent six days and five nights in Xiamen. We went to all the places we wanted to go, saw all the places we wanted to see, and ate all the things we wanted to eat. But if I had the chance to choose, I would like to go, for nothing else, just because I felt kind from the moment I set foot in the city.

Before going to Xiamen, I did a lot of homework. Gulangyu has always been a place I want to go. So I arranged four days of the whole trip in Gulangyu and two days in the urban area of Xiamen to go to places I must go. From today on, let's follow my steps

For Xiamen, Zhongshan road is just like central in Hong Kong, Wangfujing in Beijing and Beijing Road in Guangzhou. When it is mentioned, it is resounding. Even those who have not been there will know it. It is the oldest commercial street in Xiamen. It has many people, many things, many scenery, great reputation, long history and great reputation. As long as you get to Xiamen, Zhongshan road is a must. It shows the prosperity of Xiamen and contains the history of Xiamen. In this way, the old and the new are intertwined, highlighting the rhythm of the times.

Like shangxiajiuyi in Guangzhou, Zhongshan road also preserves the historical and cultural sites of Qilou street and the customs of Minnan market, preserving the most precious memory of the city.

Today's Zhongshan Road, after nearly a hundred years of development, has become a prosperous commercial street, with many famous shops. But the most wonderful thing is that there are always several traditional snack bars, which are crowded in the middle of the busy shops, but they are enduring.

I've heard that Xiamen's peanut soup is famous for a long time, but outsiders often go to famous shops, but actually they can't tell which one is the most authentic. Fortunately, I have my best friend who leads the way. This authentic Xiamen girl is also a real eater. If you follow her, you can definitely get the most authentic Xiamen snacks.

This peanut soup and Datong peanut soup are two small shops next to each other, but the really delicious peanut soup is in Datong. There are many peanuts and they are soft. When I taste peanut soup for the first time, it's so delicious. I love everything about peanuts.

The best food in Sibei is the leek box. This leek box is totally different from the big dumpling like leek box of our northerners. It looks like a small flying saucer or fried. It's too deep.

Of course, I must have taught me how to make such a difficult distinction between two small shops with the same name as peanut soup. I really deserve to be a veteran eater. Leek box with peanut soup, a sweet and salty, do not have a taste, beautiful.

Walking in the vicinity of Zhongshan Road, you often turn to the old street after seven or eight turns. Just now, it is still noisy and bustling, and it quiets down in a moment. The low houses, crowded streets, narrow stairs, flying wires, and bicycles parked in the street seem a little chaotic, but they disperse a kind of comfortable and friendly atmosphere. It's said that the Xiamen government is carrying out the transformation of the city's appearance, and most of the old streets are ready to be demolished and rebuilt. Perhaps in the near future, we will never see the scenery of this old street again.

In my eyes, every street, every corner, and even every old thing is a unique style.

After a few steps, I saw the old man selling cakes on the street. He said it was called Poria cocos cake. It was very healthy. When we were weighing cakes, a group of middle-aged couples from Xiamen passed by. The man took a look at the cake in my hand and said aloud in Xiamen dialect, "this is what we go from snacks to big things." what a warm Xiamen people.

While eating cakes, he led the way. Suddenly, he turned to the famous eighth market, a very old vegetable market in Xiamen. Everywhere you go, you like to go to the vegetable market. This is a problem you can't get rid of. Looking at all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables and special snacks, you feel very excited.

Walking into this bakery near the exit of the eighth market, I bought a box of freshly baked pineapple crisp. For the first time, I ate the hot pineapple crisp. It was really delicious. The stuffing was not very sweet. The crust of the cake had a faint milk smell, which was delicious.

This is the most popular mung bean pie, we also took a box, pastry, is still not very sweet, light flavor, I like the type.

Malasan, which can be seen everywhere, is also a major feature of Xiamen's streets. In fact, it is the fresh juice of all kinds of fresh fruits, which can be made on the spot. There are all kinds of collocations, only unexpected and impossible. I ordered a cup of pomegranate juice, not sour, reflecting the sunset, pink Dudu.

The terrain of Xiamen is very interesting. There are many high, medium and low mountains and small hills. When walking on the road, sometimes you feel like climbing, sometimes you feel like downhill. There is no subway here, only a bus, sitting on the bus around the city, you will feel the high and low trend.

I came across this inn in the old lane by chance. It's very artistic and idyllic. I can't help but stop and look inside through the small irregular window. The old porch, open-air dining table and luxuriant flowers and plants are in a mess.

Constantly shuttling through the streets and alleys, there are new and old buildings alternating in front of us. It feels as if we are passing through the tunnel of time and space, sometimes in a trance, sometimes back to reality.

When the sun was about to set, we went back to Zhongshan Road.

Most of the famous huangze and peanut soup are from other places, but according to many local friends in Xiamen, the peanut soup of this family is not so palatable. There are few peanuts and the taste is too sweet. Based on this statement, we didn't stay in this company.

Miss Zhao, a famous cake shop on Gulangyu, is right. There is also a branch on Zhongshan Road. Because it will go to Gulangyu in the next few days, the shop on Zhongshan Road didn't visit carefully or buy it. It just took a few pictures.

Attracted by the smell of the Kwai string, it looked like an old couple, working together and working very fast. Listen to the sound of the meat kebab under the pot, and ask about the rich fragrance of the nose. As long as you come here, you can't help but have two kebabs. Eat while it's hot. It's delicious.

From a distance, I saw pan Xiaolian. The strong color made her stand out in the night. She happened to be tired. She came in and had a cup of yogurt. Under the warm light, they all look so warm, with strong contrast of color, quite exotic flavor. Here are three kinds of yoghurt, I want the signature mango yoghurt, very thick, with big mango grains, satisfied.

With the street lights on, the whole street appears more bright in the night. At this time, there are more people, coming and going in an endless stream, very busy.

Xiamen's frozen bamboo shoots, this, this how to say? If you can accept it, be sure to eat it, because it's so famous. I always thought that bamboo shoot jelly is a kind of jelly like thing made by a plant called bamboo shoot. When I came to Xiamen, I knew that bamboo shoot is a kind of insect... So I didn't dare to eat it. Under the strong instigation of my classmates, I tried my best to taste it in accordance with the principle that I would regret if I didn't taste it in Xiamen! Because of the mixture of other ingredients and seasonings, there was no strange smell, but I still didn't dare to take a second bite

In order to reward their bravery, immediately to a cup of eight mother-in-law shaoxiancao, 5 yuan a cup. Shaoxiancao is a bit like Guiling cream, but it doesn't have the bitter taste of Guiling cream. The drink is milk tea with a lot of red beans, peanuts and coix. It tastes delicious. There is also a combination of fairy grass and honey, which is not as good as milk tea.

Must eat ginger duck grand debut, looking for a long time, did not expect to accidentally turn to the path and meet it, although already very full, but since met, it is fate ah, do not try how to do. If you don't want the whole duck, you can't eat it. You need duck gizzards and heart. I always thought ginger duck was sweet, but I didn't expect it was not. It tasted slightly ginger and was very comfortable to eat.

I walked all the way, ate all the way, and photographed all the way. There are so many delicious things that we can't finish at one time. Let's continue next issue and introduce in detail two characteristic shops with different styles on the middle and upper roads. Foodies, look forward to it
