Tour 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.
