Plan your Xiamen Tour<\/a>? Walking along Zhongshan Pedestrian Street(\u4e2d\u5c71\u8def\u6b65\u884c\u8857) in Xiamen is worth your valuable time for your short trip to Xiamen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most visitors would come to Zhongshan Walking Street either before or after going to Gulangyu Island since the west starting point of Zhongshan Road is just across the ferry terminal to Gulangyu Island ( Kinder reminder: now the wharf is only for evening ferry; for daytime ferry you should go to Xiamen International Cruise Terminal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid going to the Zhongshan Walking Street on weekends or China holidays. Zhongshan Road is bright and alive at night with different colours. Zhongshan Road is teeming with shops and street vendors. Zhongshan Road is more than just a commercial street, it is a leisure, entertainment and food center in Xiamen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 200 shops lines up the street with clear chain store outlets and trinket shops. Most of the buildings along the Zhongshan Road are a combination of Victoria-era and Chinese traditional architectures, a kind of two-storey buildings known as \u201cQi Lou\u201d (riding across buildings). Qi Lou is designed both for commerce and living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try the local favor \u2013 seaworms in jellyfish, Huang Zehe Peanut Soup Restaurant easily found on the street. No traffic and no smoking for the whole street, which looks clean and tidy. Zhongshan Walking Street is a must see attraction after or before you visit Gulangyu Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lujiang Harbourview Hotel is just opposite to Xiamen Ferry Terminal ( offering evening ferry to Gulangyu Island) and the west starting point of Zhongshan Road. Lujiang Hotel offers the dim sum and some nice food with excellent views of the city and Gulangyu Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
