Founded in 1921 by the patriotic overseas Chinese leader Mr. Tan Kah Kee, it is surrounded by mountains and faces the sea, and is one of the most beautiful campuses in China.
The quaint buildings of the overseas Chinese hometown in southern Fujian, the lush southern plants and the youthful students of Nanqiang, everything retains its original appearance.
The cultural charm of Jiannan Auditorium and Song'en Building, the charming scenery of Furong Lake and Lover's Valley are all corners of the campus that best reflect the beauty of Xiamen University.

Xiamen University, a holy place for taking photos, I might be attending a fake university 🙉



Living in Zengcuo'an, it costs 10 yuan to take a taxi and it's only 2.0 kilometers to walk.



Xiamen University has limited time and number of people entering from Monday to Friday, and the queues will be very long! 🤪



So here comes the point‼ ️You must go early on Saturday or Sunday morning! We got up at 6 o'clock on Sunday that day and arrived at the gate of Xiamen University before 9 o'clock. There were not many people, so we came in without queuing. We came in by swiping our ID cards, so we must bring our ID cards❗️❗️



After entering, you can relax and have fun. We went to Furong Tunnel first. There were college student volunteers and the like inside. Just ask them how to get there. It's about 800 meters away. After entering Furong Tunnel, you can take pictures at will. Really, any picture you take is beautiful! 🤩🤩 Bring a camera if you have one! It's a tunnel inside. The pictures taken with the mobile phone are a bit dark and the light is not good. The SLR is particularly powerful at this time~😎😎



Then we went out to Furong Restaurant. The food was average and a bit expensive, but the fruit salad sold in the supermarket next to it was delicious! You can mix it yourself, a big bowl costs more than 30, very thirst-quenching ~ Recommended 🥳🥳



After dinner, we went to Furong Lake, where there were two black swans. However, probably due to the weather, the little swans didn’t come out much and hid, making it difficult to take pictures. 😕😕



Finally, we arrived at the playground! It was so nice to take photos! Blue sky and white clouds

The green playground is really youthful~ You must come and play😈😈



To summarize:

1️⃣ If you come to Xiamen University to find a weekend, you must come early in the morning! The earlier the better~

2️⃣ Make an appointment in advance on Xiamen University’s official account U Xiamen University, and remember to bring your ID card when you go.

3️⃣ Check the weather, don’t come if it rains haha

4️⃣Don’t worry about how to get in. There are student volunteers inside, just ask them casually.



Staying in a homestay with friends in Zengcuo'an is also super suitable for taking photos💕

Yumian B&B

Their home is in Zengcuo'an Snack Street, near Huandao Road.

It takes only three to five minutes to walk to the beach.

Most of the rooms are the popular loft duplex.

It feels like living in a villa haha

The auntie cleaned the room very cleanly without any dust.

Very suitable for friends and girlfriends👬 multi-person travel homestay!



Enjoy the sea breeze and ride a bicycle along the Ring Island Road with your girlfriends

It is also a wonderful experience to walk barefoot on the beach and watch the sunrise and sunset!



Finally, I wish you all a happy time in Xiamen~ (Love Bee) (Love Bee)

The most beautiful campus is well-deserved. There is Baicheng Beach right outside the door, and it is adjacent to Nanputuo Temple and Wanshi Botanical Garden. There are many ornamental coconut trees planted on campus, the beautiful scenery of Furong Lake, and the cultural atmosphere of Furong Tunnel. These are my first impressions of Xiamen University. I was lucky enough to make an appointment for a visit on U Xiamen University before leaving. Walking in the most beautiful university, it felt like I was back in college.

By Travel girl cotton |

Xiamen University, surrounded by beautiful scenery, is worthy of being one of the most beautiful universities in China.



One of the must-see attractions in Xiamen, it is located at the southern end of Xiamen Island, surrounded by mountains and the sea, and shaded by green trees. It is known as the most beautiful university in China and is also the dream university of countless college entrance examination students.



You need to make an appointment on the official account "U Xiamen University" 3 days in advance and scan your ID card to enter the campus.



Opening hours: Monday to Friday 12:00-14:00 and after 17:00



The whole university is like a park, with large trees with southern characteristics neatly arranged on both sides of the main road, red brick buildings with exotic style, green trees, lakes, black swans, everything highlights the beauty of the campus. Walking in the campus, feeling the breeze, my heart calmed down.



Must-visit areas on campus: Furong Lake, Shangxian Field, Furong Tunnel, and the third floor of Furong Restaurant are open to tourists. There is also the newly built Yanwu Sports Field, Shangxian Field. Standing at the entrance of the Great Hall, facing Shangxian Field, you can see the sea through the stadium. This is almost a must-visit area when visiting Xiamen University.



Furong Tunnel is a very distinctive tunnel. It is very long and the walls are covered with graffiti designs, various texts and posed photos with a strong literary feel. It is suitable for taking pictures. There is also the school’s black swan, which has the most beautiful scenery, but it cannot be destroyed, so just capture it in the camera.

By Nutshells and sugar jars |

Visitors can only enter the campus from the West Gate (near Xiamen Xicun Station) and the South Gate (near Xiamen University Station) with their second-generation ID cards!

If you want to go to Xiamen University, please follow “UXiaDa” on WeChat three days in advance to make a reservation. There are 5,000 people on normal days and 10,000 people during the Spring Festival.

Personally, I feel that Xiamen University is more artistic. There are many fairies taking photos at the entrance of Furong Tunnel, but few people delve into the meaning of the tunnel. After walking about 20 meters, there is no one in the tunnel, and no one appreciates the paintings inside.

There are big slopes in Xiamen University, so it is not suitable for cycling. There is a big bookstore near the south gate entrance.

If we want to have a good tour, it will take more than half a day, and we are just passing through it.

Xiamen University is located at the southern end of Xiamen Island, adjacent to Nanputuo Temple on one side and Hulishan Fort on the other. Its buildings, teaching, scenery, and geographical location are all very unique and well-known. It is known as one of the most beautiful university campuses in China. Important reminder: The South Gate is the "South Gate", which is often mistaken for facing south. In fact, it faces west, just like the West Gate.

By The Rebellious |

#Xiamen University# I personally feel it's just average, I walked the whole way

I didn't take a map and got lost while walking.

Except for Lover's Valley and Hibiscus Tunnel, I don't like the others.

Lover's Valley is quite big, it takes a long time to walk around, the scenery is nice, but it's tiring

The Furong Tunnel is quite interesting when you walk from the beginning to the end. However, if you don’t want to go back to the end, you have to leave the school gate. It doesn’t make me feel comfortable.

By Yangyang |

It was almost 1pm when we started queuing up at the gate of Xiamen University to wait for admission. Xiamen University limited the number of people during the Spring Festival to 5,000 in the morning and 5,000 in the afternoon, and you had to register and make an appointment in advance on "U Xiamen University". I set an alarm on my phone, and I prepared to make an appointment on my phone at 8am and 1pm, but when the time came, the network channel was crowded and I couldn't get in at all. After half an hour, I refreshed it and it showed that all 5,000 places were fully booked. I tried for 3 days but couldn't make an appointment. I thought I really couldn't go to Xiamen University this time.

Finally, I bought two places online for 55. Later, I heard from others that she spent 300 to buy three places before entering, and I felt lucky. Xiamen University, which has limited flow, is really very clean and beautiful, and the photos taken are very, very beautiful. The administrators in the school are also very dedicated. When children play with bubble water, they will specifically tell you that this is an ancient building and you can't play here. You can only play after passing the house in front. I really think this is good.

By Rice wheel |

It is said that when you come to Xiamen, how can you not visit Xiamen University? It is just like visiting Peking University when you come to Beijing, you have to check in!

Pay attention! You need to make an appointment at least one day in advance to come to Xiamen University! Especially from Monday to Friday, there are time limits and guest limits here.

Note: Only Furong Restaurant is open to tourists, other restaurants require student cards.

After dinner, we walked around the campus. The most classic thing was to take pictures of Song En Building and Jiannan Hall from Furong Lake. You can see many kinds of plants just by walking around the school. It is a real-life plant textbook.

If you are lucky, you may even meet the beautiful "Fu" butterfly.

This pink building is located at the entrance of Furong Tunnel. The colorful clothes and the full atmosphere of college life are like the college dormitories in the movies.

By Zhe |

Not many people actually made an appointment to enter the school, because most people just stayed at the school gate to take photos. Of course, there were also some people who didn't know they needed to make an appointment so they had to leave with regret.

On the left hand side of the entrance is the school history museum. The long corridor carries the accumulation of many years and the weight of history...

Tips: Follow the WeChat official account [U Xiamen University]. You need to make an appointment three days in advance to visit, and there will be different flow limits at different times. We went during the Spring Festival holiday, so the campus is open all day, and there will be time limits for visits on weekdays. The specific information and appointment address are all in the official account. Remember to bring your ID card to enter the park after making an appointment!

By Release the Deer |

Everyone must make an appointment in advance! Since October 22, 2018, Xiamen University has changed the visit to an appointment system. Friends who want to go can follow the WeChat public account: U Xiamen University to make an appointment. The appointment channel is open three days in advance. It is recommended that everyone make an appointment early, otherwise you may not be able to enter because the quota is full. I like the graffiti in the Furong Tunnel of Xiamen University.

By Yanling |

I brought my child to Xiamen in the hope that he would broaden his horizons, have better life goals and pursuits, and strive to be admitted to Xiamen University, the most beautiful university in China! Xiamen University is very large. Since we were not very energetic, we mainly went to Furong Lake, Shangxian Field, and Furong Tunnel. We entered Furong Tunnel from the South Gate. Because we arrived early, there were not many tourists. We encountered a campus supermarket on the way and bought a lot of cut fruits to replenish our energy.

By Xixi's sister |

When I was stuck in traffic, I passed by a gate of Xiamen University that I had never seen before. It was not as crowded as the gate next to Nanputuo Temple, but it was very beautiful. Then I passed by another gate of Xiamen University. The school is so big, there are so many gates. This gate obviously has a lot of people. If I was in such a school and was visited like this every day, I think I might not be able to bear it. Maybe the kids at Xiamen University are used to it.

Came to Xiamen University to attend classes. This time I did not follow the tourist route and went straight to the cafeteria and Furong Tunnel. Instead, I went to a specific college to listen to Xiamen University's courses.

The academy's gate is very beautiful and ancient, and the layout of the courtyard is also very humanistic. Moreover, compared with the teaching facilities in prominent locations of Xiamen University, it is much quieter here and there is no bustling flow of people.

Xiamen University is really a good school, with beautiful scenery. The professors are all very young, but they are all well-qualified and handsome. The girls in Xiamen University are so lucky!

By Soaked in dust |

Xiamen University should be a must-visit place for every tourist who comes to Xiamen. It is also the university that countless college entrance examination students dream of.

It is located in the city center, adjacent to the commercial street - Zhongshan Street, and across the sea from Gulangyu Island. The geographical location is so excellent that I can't find a second university with such good conditions in the whole country.

The environment is beautiful, the accommodation facilities are excellent, the food is delicious, and if you are lucky you may even be assigned to a sea view dormitory, facing the sea and with flowers blooming in spring.



To visit Xiamen University, you need to make an appointment on the Xiamen University official account.

By Heart-beating moment |

Speaking of Xiamen University reservations, now you can only make reservations through the WeChat public account "U Xiamen University", and you have to make reservations three days in advance, which is 72 hours. For example, tourists are allowed to enter at 12:30 noon from Monday to Friday, so you can only make reservations starting at 12:30 noon three days in advance. The number of places is limited to 1,000 people, and it is very tight. Even if you click in at 12:30, you can't get a place. I tried for two days in a row but failed. I almost felt that I couldn't get into Xiamen University this time.

In addition, you can only enter Xiamen University from the Great South Gate and the Qunxian Gate. The Great South Gate here is not the South Gate, but the Northwest Gate. Nanputuo Temple is in the northwest of Xiamen University. The Northwest Gate near Nanputuo Temple is the "Great South Gate" of Xiamen University, named after its proximity to the Great South Road. The Qunxian Gate is the West Gate next to the Xiamen University Xicun Bus Station. The two gates are not far apart and can be reached on foot.

Xiamen University has set a unified route for tourists. Tourists are not allowed to enter the teaching area. There are various exhibition halls along the South Gate to the Qunxian Gate. You can visit these exhibition halls first from any gate. Lover's Valley (Siyuan Valley) and Furong Tunnel are on the east side of the campus. It takes a distance to get there. I personally feel that it is smoother to enter from the West Gate, which is the Qunxian Gate. The school history museum is right at the entrance.

The entrance to Xiamen University is very strict. You need to check the reservation record and ID card. The first sight of entering the school gate was quite amazing, but I found that I was just visiting various indoor exhibition halls, and my interest was reduced a lot. I sat on the lawn of Xiamen University for a while when I couldn't walk anymore. I finally walked to Furong Tunnel, but found that I had to walk a long way to Siyuan Valley. I kept saying that Xiamen University was not as fresh as I imagined. Will Siyuan Valley satisfy my imagination? Finally came to this reservoir. To be honest, it was not the Xiamen University I imagined.

By Chasing dreams |

Xiamen University is only accessible through the North Gate, and other gates are closed to visitors. In order to get a glimpse of Xiamen University, we drove non-stop all the way and finally arrived at the gate of Xiamen University at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiamen University has a profound cultural heritage and its architectural style is very unique, modern and avant-garde.

The restaurant at Xiamen University is quite stylish. Dining outdoors in such a beautiful environment must make you feel very happy.

By Footprints Dust |

If you want to visit Xiamen University now, you must make an appointment in advance with your real name. Only after you make an appointment successfully can you enter the school during the corresponding time period. Please be careful about scalpers at the school gate. You don't need to buy a card at the Furong Restaurant open to the public at Xiamen University. You can pay with WeChat or Alipay after ordering the food.

The gates of Xiamen University were really a rip-off. You can't find the so-called Great South Gate and Qunxian Gate on the map. Later, I found out from Baidu that the Northwest Gate on the map next to Nanputuo Temple is the Great South Gate, and the Northwest Gate 1 on the map is the Qunxian Gate. I almost got off at the Southeast Gate by bus. I really didn't actually walk there. Everything is just a passing cloud. Nanputuo and Xiamen University are only separated by an underground passage. It is very convenient to take bus No. 751 from Zengcuo'an. It will pass through several gates of Xiamen University, and there are few stops and the time is fast. Xiamen University is really a good place with mountains and waters. There are large supermarkets, counter banks, kayaks, and golf driving ranges on campus. I really want to take the college entrance examination again. I must go to Xiamen University to experience the most beautiful university.

So if you want to visit Xiamen University, you must make an appointment in advance. After making an appointment, you can go directly with your ID card on the day. You can enter directly if you have made an appointment. When I went there, there were not many people and there was no queue. People without an appointment may need to wait in line outside for a long time.

Xiamen University has many historical exhibition halls. You can visit them all the way through the entrance. If you are interested, you can take a look. I mainly visited the natural scenery and architecture of Xiamen University and felt the breath of youth.

When we arrived at the lake, we saw several black swans wandering in the river. They looked very comfortable. It was the first time I saw live swans. However, I don’t recommend you to feed them. There will be special people from the school to feed them every day. Everyone should abide by the school rules.

There is a cafeteria next to Furong Tunnel. I went there specially to try it. I don’t know if it was because I went too late, but there were only rice and fried dishes. The taste was also very average, not as good as the food in our university cafeteria.

You need to make an appointment in advance to visit Xiamen University. However, there are so many people all year round that I couldn't get in within three days. I had to ask my classmate to take me in. She also took me to visit Xiamen University. Although it was not as amazing as I imagined, Xiamen University is indeed a first-class university with both academics and feelings. It is worth savoring. Unfortunately, my visit was a bit rough, but I got the essence.

By Noah's Ark |

Xiamen University is said to be very beautiful, but surprisingly, the queue to enter the campus is too long. As soon as I saw this, I immediately felt that my interest in visiting was reduced. Is it necessary for a school to be like this? Is it because of an internet celebrity that there are too many people?

After entering the campus, I saw two rows of straight coconut trees, which gave me a tropical feeling. Looking at the scenery and architecture, the campus is quite beautiful. If it weren't for its fame, it would be even more beautiful. Xiamen University is not too big. I went there at noon. I had to make an appointment online some time in advance, which was quite troublesome. The campus architecture of Xiamen University is full of southern Fujian style.

The student dormitory building looks very beautiful from the outside. The Xiamen University campus is full of greenery. Xiamen University is known as one of the most beautiful campuses, and it is actually quite beautiful.

By Kung Fu Panda |

All the guides and comments only say that Xiamen University is open for a limited time. On non-weekends, you can enter from 12:00 to 14:00 at noon and the number of people is limited. At night, you can enter from 17:00 to 21:00 but the number of people is not limited. However, no one kindly reminds you to make an appointment in advance on WeChat U Xiamen University. Once again, you must make an appointment on the WeChat public account U Xiamen University to enter Xiamen University. After the appointment is successful, you can only enter the school at the Qunxian Gate and the South Gate (you must make an appointment at least 2 days in advance. It is difficult to make an appointment on the same day or 1 night in advance). On non-holidays, only 1,000 people can be received from 12:30 to 14:00 at noon. No visitors are received at other times. No more than 5,000 people per day on weekends and winter and summer vacations, and no more than 10,000 people per day on national statutory holidays. Visitors will not be received in case of school activities or adjustments to holidays and classes, or extreme weather. Family areas, student dormitories, and teaching venues are not allowed to be visited. There is a notice at the entrance of Furong Tunnel that non-school personnel are not allowed to visit. There are security guards standing guard at the entrance. I entered Xiamen University during non-opening hours, so the security guards did not stop me. I don’t know if the security guards will stop me during opening hours. Xiamen University is beautiful and definitely worth a visit. I hope you will leave good memories at Xiamen University.

Xiamen University is also a business card of Xiamen's literature and art. In fact, I didn't understand why it was so literary at first. Was it because of the thunderstorms that were popular all over the country? Not entirely. Xiamen University has many campuses. The main campus is Siming Campus. In fact, there are also various medical school campuses next to it. You can see how wide its scope is from the names of the bus stops. However, if you want to visit, you should visit Siming Campus. I was very lucky because Mianmian's sister was the tour guide and took us around Xiamen University, so I didn't have to study the map.

Xiamen University is called the most beautiful university in China, and there is a certain reason for it. First of all, its architecture is a very distinctive Jiageng-style building. The Qi Qunxian Building (the school history museum that you can see when you enter the door) and the Song En Building (the main building) are very eye-catching. The photo of the Song En Building and Furong Lake is a very famous postcard photo (I once thought that this school was built on the seaside and you could really see the sea view, but it turned out not to be, just the lake view). Even the student dormitories feel like living in an ancient building. Secondly, there are many literary bookstores and coffee shops on campus, which is in line with the literary temperament. Moreover, Furong Lake is indeed more beautiful, and there are also the famous black swans in the lake. Therefore, many people who come to Xiamen University have a deep memory of Furong Lake! Finally, there is the famous Furong Tunnel!

By Fairytale CORN |

You can reach Xiamen University from Nanputuo. The journey is not far and you can reach it on foot. There is no need to say how famous Xiamen University is. In recent years, many tourists like to visit Xiamen University. Because Xiamen University is indeed a university with history and beautiful scenery. If you are a child born in the 90s or 00s, you can watch the TV series Meteor Shower together. It was also filmed at Xiamen University. So many people also want to find the footprints of the TV series back then and take a photo of their own youth in the same scene.



When we came, we could see many students setting up stalls to sell their own gadgets. There were also girls walking on the tree-lined avenue with books in their arms. I hope there are also boys riding bicycles to take their female classmates. Everything makes people feel like they have returned to their youth. It makes people sigh, I really want to go back to school.



However, you need to be careful not to disturb the students of Xiamen University. Xiamen University once restricted outsiders from visiting because there were too many people and it was difficult to control them. But now it is open when you enter the download tour, just be careful not to disturb the students.

By Zhang Xiaoke |

Entering from the northwest gate of Xiamen University, there are so many tourists inside, no wonder the security check at the door requires scanning of ID cards.

Xiaoke's main purpose of coming here is to visit the campus of Xiamen University and the Furong Tunnel and relive the vigor and innocence of the ivory tower. However, after entering the campus, Xiaoke's attention was attracted by the various bicycles on campus. Maybe it's because Xiaoke likes to ride a bicycle.

Xiamen University is known as one of the universities with the most beautiful environment in China. On one side of the campus is Nanputuo Temple, on the other side is Baicheng Beach, and across the sea from the world cultural heritage Gulangyu Island. The school’s early buildings, including the Qunxian Building Group, Jiannan Building Group, Furong Building Group and Xiamen University Anthropology Museum, are national key cultural relics protection units and have been selected into the "First Batch of China's 20th Century Architectural Heritage" list.

By Tang Xiaoluo |

It is said that Xiamen is the most beautiful university in China. I think compared with other universities I have visited, Xiamen University is indeed not inferior in this respect.

As a must-see tourist attraction in a city, Xiamen University is unique among major cities. Universities in other cities can only serve as a supplement to travel and a point of educational travel at most.

As for Xiamen University, it gave me the final feeling that it was the core of the city, with a tourist belt spreading out from it, extending to the east and west.

Xiamen University is a good university with history and style.

By Bear Paw Fish |

It has to be said that the architecture of Xiamen University is very distinctive. The "wearing suits and hats" and the combination of Chinese and Western "Jiageng style" are unique. Coupled with its profound historical and cultural heritage, it is worth exploring here. The entire campus is not big, but not small either. If you want to appreciate it, you need to spend more than three hours.

By A harmonious atmosphere |

Xiamen University - the most beautiful campus in China. Now you need to make an appointment 3 days in advance to visit Xiamen University. There is a public account of Xiamen University on the Internet. Everyone should make an appointment according to the time. The statue of Mr. Tan Kah Kee has become the first choice for people to take photos. The bookstore and the tunnel are also good places to take photos. The moss-covered dormitory and the straight and neat coconut trees are also the first choice for Xiaoqing. I think there is really no need to experience the cafeteria. It is no different from other university cafeterias. The only difference is that it is more expensive for outsiders.

Make sure to make an appointment via WeChat a few days in advance!!! You also need to wait in line and scan your ID card before entering the campus.

As soon as I entered the school gate, I was deeply attracted by the restrained and solemn beauty of Xiamen University. Most of the old buildings of Xiamen University are in a combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles, "wearing suits and hats". The Jiannan Auditorium is particularly magnificent. The most imposing campus playground, with a clean red running track and green court, makes people want to run.

I didn't go. You need to make an appointment online in advance. Now only 1,000 tourists are received every day. It is open from 12:30 to 14:00 on weekdays, and you can't enter at other times. Today is November 21st, and both days are fully booked. Unfortunately, I can't go because of time constraints, so if you want to go, make an appointment three days in advance. There is only one gate open to tourists at Xiamen University, which is the gate of Xiamen University Xicun Station, on Yanwu Road. I don't know how to give it five stars...

One of the most beautiful universities in China, it is very rare for a university to be a tourist attraction. The historical and cultural charm of Jiannan Auditorium and Songen Building, the charming scenery of Furong Lake and Lover's Valley, the first quarter field for watching meteor showers, and the graffiti-covered Furong Tunnel are all the characteristics of Xiamen University. At the end of October, Xiamen University needs to start making online reservations for visits, which require ID cards and facial recognition. More than 1,000 people can enter per day, so remember to make reservations in advance.

Baicheng Beach is right outside the back door of Xiamen University. I really envy you for going to a school where you can see the sea right outside your home.

Some people say Xiamen University is not too big so you can just walk there. But I was too lazy so I just rented a bicycle and rode it faster. Xiamen University is not suitable for cycling because of the ups and downs. There is a bicycle rental place at the entrance. It costs 20 yuan per hour and 2 hours is enough.

My wish to come to Xiamen University to attend a class has been cancelled because the school is on holiday.

Xiamen University's Furong Tunnel, Lover's Valley, and Jiannan Auditorium are all famous attractions. Some people come here to take wedding photos.

The dormitory building is the most distinctive place, but outsiders are not allowed to enter.

The scenery here is beautiful. Any place is a good scenery.

Go out from one of the gates of Xiamen University and cross the bridge to the beach. It's so nice to study here. It's close to everything.

Xiamen University Library is right next to the main entrance. The first building you see when you enter is classical. From the outside, it looks like a new building. It is obviously built later or renovated. However, it does not look very big.

It was probably on the fourth floor. I couldn't get in without a student card, so I had to watch from outside.

I found that all libraries have one thing in common: a long staircase. I feel dizzy every time I walk up so many stair benches. They should all have a basement.

The three big words "Library" are very neat, and the English below looks pretty nice.

At 6 pm, many tourists lined up at the Northwest Gate 1 of Xiamen University to enter Xiamen University for a tour. The long queue and shared bicycles almost filled the sidewalk of Yanwu Road, making it very inconvenient for pedestrians. Why does a tourist attraction have such a queue in the evening? ? It is understood that in order to ensure the normal teaching order of Xiamen University, the school stipulates: limited opening from Monday to Friday, from 12:00 to 14:00, limited to 300 people, and unlimited number after 17:00. So a large number of tourists have to visit Xiamen University in the evening. After waiting in line for more than 20 minutes, I entered the Xiamen University campus for a tour. In late autumn, Xiamen gets dark early. Looking up, the bright moon hangs high on the coconut trees. Visiting Xiamen University at night, there is no blue sky and white clouds during the day, but there is a hazy moon, which seems to have a different style. On the Xiamen University campus, you can see the adjacent Xiamen World Trade Straits Building, a landmark building. On the Xiamen University Yanwu Track and Field Stadium, student athletes are playing basketball. Looking at their vigorous steps and vigorous energy, I couldn't help but think of myself running on the campus court 37 years ago. The past is like smoke, and it is gone in the blink of an eye. As I enter middle age, I seem to have truly understood the world. Cherish the present, live out yourself, and be happy every day! Maybe it was because it was late, so I took a walk around Xiamen University and then came out.

Xiamen University is famous for being one of the most beautiful campuses in China. It is located at the southern end of Xiamen Island, surrounded by mountains and the sea. The campus environment is beautiful and the scenery is beautiful. I wanted to visit here, but the car couldn't get in, so I had to find a place to park. The exit was closed and I had to go several kilometers away. In addition to the traffic jam, I missed this place perfectly. Fortunately, my family was not in the car, and they walked directly from Hulishan Fort to Xiamen University. My wife sent a few photos, which I posted together.

Xiamen University is a pretty good place, but recently it has been changed to require an appointment to enter. Follow the official account "U Xiamen University" to make an appointment. It is recommended to make an appointment 3 days in advance. There are not many places available. If you need to take photos, you can find me. Weibo @炒蛋西红柿

You must make an appointment in advance on the U Xiamen University public account to go to Xiamen University. We didn't make an appointment at that time, and thought that if we didn't go to Xiamen University, it would be a waste of our trip to Xiamen. Then we contacted various classmates we knew on WeChat, and finally a handsome little brother registered and took us in. I was so excited and super happy at that time. We started to play in Xiamen University for more than two hours.

It said that you need to make an appointment three days in advance from Monday to Friday, but even if you make an appointment in advance, it is full, and there are all kinds of scalpers. I went there twice before when I didn't need to make an appointment and it was not bad. I don't know why Xiamen University has become like this now. I am a little disappointed and sad 😔

By doudousha |

Remember to make an appointment and enter according to the time period. You can't get in if you are too early. The famous graffiti wall is here, on the Siming campus of Xiamen University. Don't go wrong.

Xiamen University is very beautiful, but the most impressive thing is the Furong Tunnel, which has a lot of graffiti and is quite unique.

This is a great university that is worth recommending to everyone to experience in person. It has a beautiful environment and pleasant scenery. I guarantee that you will want to go there again after you have been there.

It is said that this is the most beautiful university in China. It seems to be the location for watching meteor showers.

The most beautiful university is still considering whether to add the first place. The back door is Baicheng Beach and the front door is Nanputuo Temple. I wonder if students can still study with peace of mind?

The school is quite big and the scenery is also very good, but you have to queue up to get in, and the number of people per day is limited. You can have a meal in the school, but tourists and students are separated. Every time we go to a place, we will visit the university there.

It was my first time to Xiamen University. I went with two classmates. We lined up early in the morning. No tickets were required, only ID cards were needed. The place worth visiting is the Furong Tunnel, which has works of classmates from various classes and you can take photos with them.

Xiamen University, as the most beautiful university in China, is an indispensable place for tourism in Xiamen.

Xiamen University has beautiful buildings, beautiful water, beautiful tunnels, and beautiful playgrounds.

By Eurus |

Xiamen University must visit Furong Lake, Furong Tunnel and Lover's Valley (Siyuan Valley). The third floor of Xiamen University Furong Restaurant is open to the public, but the price is expensive and the taste is not very good, so it is not recommended to buy. There are many supermarkets in the school, and you can choose to buy food at the snack stands at the entrance of the supermarket.

This is a rubbish attraction. I came to Xiamen for a few days and wanted to go to Xiamen University, but it kept showing that it was fully booked. Was it reserved by scalpers or was it that they refused to let people in? Or is there something wrong with the booking public account? I really want to swear!

The top university in Fujian, with mountains and lakes on campus, faces the sea, with the back door to Wanshi Botanical Garden, the south gate to Nanputuo Temple, the west gate to Baicheng Beach, and across the sea from Gulangyu Island. Regardless of the academic level, the natural scenery on campus is one of the top ten in the country. Most foreign tourists regard Xiamen University as a must-visit place when traveling to Xiamen. Special reminder: Xiamen University is not open at any time. According to the "Announcement on the Management of Campus Visits of Xiamen University", from December 17, 2012, from Monday to Friday, Xiamen University Siming Campus will open two time periods every day for tourists to visit the campus, namely: 12:00-14:00 and 17:00-24:00.

I came to Xiamen for the first time with my bestie in January 2013. There happened to be a marathon race in Zengcuo'an that day, so we had to embark on a hiking trip. We walked from Zengcuo'an to Huli Mountain, and then to Nanputuo Temple and Xiamen University in one day.

If you have time, you must visit Xiamen University. The Nanyang and Republican-style architecture is unique among domestic universities. After you walk out, you will see the beach. What kind of retirement experience is it to study in such a place?

Make an appointment in advance and enter through the west gate with your ID card. You can visit the exhibition hall, and you can also sit in the bookstore, playground, and lakeside cafe. It was a holiday when I went there, so I couldn't eat in the cafeteria.

Xiamen University is known as one of the most beautiful universities in China. On one side of the campus is Nanputuo Temple, on the other side is Baicheng Beach, and across the sea from the world cultural heritage Gulangyu Island, the early school buildings including the Qunxian Building Group, Jiannan Building Group, Furong Building Group and Xiamen University Anthropology Museum are national key cultural relics protection units and are included in the "First Batch of Chinese 20th Century Architectural Heritage" list. During the day, you can go in and visit if you pass by here by bicycle. I went to Nanputuo Temple first, but it was too late to enter. You need to make an appointment, so be sure to check the time, but it looks beautiful from the outside.

To go to Xiamen University, you need to make an appointment in advance on the WeChat public account "U Xiamen University". You can make an appointment online three days in advance and bring your ID card to scan and enter the campus. You need to take the bus to the "Xiamen University West Village" stop. It is not far from Maojie and Shapowei. You can go to Maojie after visiting the school.

After making an appointment, just go and swipe your ID card at the appointment time.

It is said that Xiamen University is built on an island. The whole university is like being built on a mountainside. The slope is super steep. There are no yellow or red bicycles, no electric bicycles, and even no food delivery guys! If I were to go to this school, I would have to get up so early to go to class in order not to be late. It would be impossible to ride a bicycle. The slope is too long. I would be exhausted to death on the road before I even get to the classroom. It is said that the steep slopes we see now are the result of flattening a lot of them after a car accident. Maybe the slopes used to be straight up and down, and going down the mountain was all about free fall!
