Xiamen Xiadao Wild Stroll｜Embrace the Freshness of Nature

The wild side of Xiamen is the freshness and fun you encounter when stepping onto the island～🌊​
Xiaodeng Island · Ecological Fresh Hunt​
A quieter island than Dadeng Island! The tidal flats hide clams and small crabs. Put on a pair of rain boots and step into the soft mud; the moment your fingertips touch marine creatures is a delightful surprise🦀 Learn to plant oyster seedlings with fishermen, the muddy sea smell mixed with the sea breeze, watching the sunset dye the tidal flats golden red. The island’s wartime ruins are covered in greenery, wildflowers bloom beside old bunkers, buy a skewer of freshly grilled oysters, the fresh juice bursts in your mouth, even the air carries the wild charm of the sea～​
Aotou Fishing Village · Artistic Wild Charm​
A place more creative than an ordinary fishing village! Old fishing nets transformed into art installations, fishing boats painted in rainbow colors, walls adorned with graffiti depicting fishermen’s lives🎨 Step into a seafood restaurant, pick a freshly landed grouper, kill and steam it on the spot, the fish meat is so tender it melts in your mouth. The fishing village’s café is hidden in an old house; order a cup of “Special Oyster Coffee,” the salty freshness mixed with coffee aroma, sit in the courtyard watching egrets skim the sea surface, even time slows down comfortably～​
Huangcuo Seaside Camping · Sleep with the Waves​
A more romantic night experience than the city! Set up a tent to watch the sunset, the orange-red dusk dyes the sea surface like silk, chicken wings on the grill sizzle with fragrance🍗 Bite into crispy grilled meat, sip cold beer, listen to the waves crashing like a natural lullaby. Late at night, lying on a moisture-proof mat, you can see the stars overhead, occasionally fireflies fly past the tent, even dreams are wrapped in the softness of the sea breeze～​
Xiang’an Xiangshan · Flower Sea Walk​
A more magnificent flower scene than city parks! In spring, rapeseed flowers spread like a golden ocean; in summer, sunflowers follow the sun, the wind makes the flower waves rustle🌻 Find a flower field to sit in, buy a freshly made peanut roll ice cream, crispy cone wrapped in creamy milk flavor, watch bees gather nectar among the flowers. The ancient temple on the hilltop is hidden in the woods, the bell sound mixed with birdsong, even your breath becomes sweet and fresh, flower sea photos taken on your phone need no filters at all～​
💡Xiadao Tips​
Bring mosquito repellent! The island has many mosquitoes～Wear dirt-resistant clothes! The tidal flats easily get muddy～Choose sunny days for camping! Tents get damp in the rain～​
The charm of Xiamen is not the rush of checking in, but the wildness of the island, the freshness of the fishing village, and the brilliance of the flower sea. This kind of wild stroll is how you truly grasp the natural beauty of Xiamen～💫
