Description
Follow a Local Xiamen Native Through My Own Secret Walking Route
⏰ Best-time walk — we’ll head out when the city and sea look their most beautiful
🍜 Real local flavors only locals know
I was born and raised in Xiamen, living in one of the city’s most popular tourist areas for over two decades.
Since childhood, I’ve been running through these streets and alleys — I know every corner, every snack stall, every local story.
Over time, I created my own walking route that connects:
✔️Famous photo spots
✔️ Hidden historical corners
✔️ Authentic food stops that only locals know
I often see tourists being drawn into flashy restaurants — paying too much and still missing the real flavors of Xiamen.
Just like my best friend’s group — they tried random spots by themselves and thought “Xiamen food is just okay.”
The next day I took them to a tiny stall I’ve loved since childhood. One bite and they shouted:
“THIS is the real Xiamen!” and it was half the price of the day before!
I’ve guided travelers I met by chance — backpackers asking for directions, classmates visiting and my foreign students who came to visit me,— and they all said:
“If we weren’t with you, we wouldn’t have found any of this!”
If you want more than just checking off tourist spots,
and instead truly taste, hear, and feel Xiamen like a local —
Come walk with me on this food and cultural tour.
I’d love to show you the most authentic, flavorful andd unforgettable side of Xiamen.
