in an autumn fairy tale in Xiamen, just a step away from Jimei School VillageHotels Autumn Travel
Dear friends! Who would have thought you could have a "maple forest fairy tale" travel experience in Xiamen? This time, I stayed at Jinjiang Inn Plus Xiamen North Station Jimei School Village Hotel, unlocking the joy of "living next to the attraction and enjoying autumn scenery anytime." From transportation to environment to experience, every detail made me want to shout "amazing." Let me take you on an immersive journey~
📌 Check-in Experience: "Leisurely stroll" in Jimei School Village, autumn views never repeat
The best thing about staying here is—no need to rush for early subway trains, no need to squeeze with crowds at attractions, you can head to Jimei School Village anytime! One day I woke up naturally, had breakfast at the hotel, and leisurely walked 10 minutes to Jimei School Village. The red brick ancient houses bathed in autumn sunlight make every photo look like a "film masterpiece"; in the afternoon, if you want to visit the Garden Expo Park to see the bald cypress, just take the bus from the hotel’s bus stop for 3 stops, and if tired, return to the hotel to relax. This "no rush" pace of sightseeing is exactly how travel should be!
Evenings are even better! A 5-minute walk from the hotel to Xinglin Bay Trail, enjoy the sea breeze while watching the sunset dye Xinglin Bridge orange, with the Twin Towers faintly visible in the distance. After admiring the night view, stroll back to the hotel and grab some satay meat skewers as a late-night snack. This kind of "making autumn scenery a daily routine" happiness—who can understand it!
🚗 Hotel Transportation: Direct from North Station + close to attractions, a lazy person’s delight
As someone who is "extremely lazy + directionally challenged," the hotel’s transportation is a lifesaver! From Xiamen North Station, take Metro Line 1 to "Jimei School Village Station," then an 8-minute walk to the hotel—no detours even with luggage; by taxi, it’s about a 10-minute ride costing around 15 RMB, no more fighting for taxis at the station.
Getting to other Xiamen attractions is super smooth too: want to go to Gulangyu Island? Take the boat from the nearby Jimei School Village Pier, fewer people and you can even see the sea metro; want to eat snacks on Zhongshan Road? Metro Line 1 goes straight there with no transfers; for self-driving friends, the hotel has a dedicated parking lot with cheap fees, no more circling around looking for parking spots~
🏖️ Hotel Environment: Cozy and healing, like a "home in autumn"
Opening the hotel door warms you up immediately! The lobby is bright, the front desk staff greets you with a smile and offers hot tea, even proactively draws a "hidden gem check-in map," instantly giving a sense of belonging. The room is even more surprising: not big but very comfortable layout, the bedding is soft like sinking into cotton candy, pillows come in "soft/hard" options, so someone like me with neck sensitivity can finally sleep soundly!
Detail lovers will be thrilled! The small desk by the window is perfect for writing travel diaries, the bathroom has a dry-wet separation, hot water comes instantly; the mouthwash cup is individually wrapped, towels folded like tofu blocks, looking clean and reassuring. In the morning, opening the curtains lets sunlight pour in, and sometimes you can see fallen leaves from the phoenix tree downstairs. This environment is even more healing than staying in a homestay~
🎪 Hotel Experience: Heartwarming details, excellent value for money
After staying 3 days, I found so many "hidden gems" in this hotel! Breakfast from 7 to 9:30 am is no joke—freshly cooked satay noodles, peanut soup, plus Xiamen specialties like fried five-spice and ma ci, paired with eggs, milk, and fruit, so you’re full and energized for sightseeing; in the afternoon resting in the lobby, free tea bags and lemon water are available, plus you can borrow umbrellas and power banks, no need to carry a bunch of stuff yourself.
One day I forgot my charger and called the front desk, someone delivered it within minutes and even asked if I needed an extra one; at night, if you want to print attraction tickets, the front desk printer is free to use, no need to hunt for print shops around town. This kind of "nailing every traveler’s need" experience is warmer than staying in expensive hotels~
📌 Small Tips:
1. Book in advance on the app, the "stay consecutive nights discount" can save you dozens of RMB, basically a free satay noodle meal!
2. Ask for the "hand-drawn check-in map," the hidden photo spots on it are more accurate than navigation, perfect for snapping your best social media shots~
3. There are many local snack shops near the hotel; the oyster omelet and satay noodles in the alleys are more authentic and cheaper than those in tourist areas!
4. For early high-speed trains or late flights, the hotel can help call a car and store your luggage, so you don’t have to drag your bags around attractions, making your trip super easy~
In short, if you want a comfortable stay and worry-free fun in Xiamen, Jinjiang Inn Plus Xiamen North Station Jimei School Village Hotel is definitely an "autumn treasure choice"! Convenient transportation that’s "lazy-friendly," a cozy environment that makes you "not want to check out," and best of all, it’s super close to autumn scenic spots like Jimei School Village and Garden Expo Park. Staying here is like "packing up" Xiamen’s autumn romance and bringing it home~
