If you want to experience Xiamen in depth, choosing the right accommodation is key. If you want convenience and value for money, don't miss the serviced apartments around Zhongshan Road. The rooms are cozy, and the commercial street is just downstairs, so you can shop and eat in one go. If you prefer natural scenery, the holiday homestays on Huangcuo Beach are the best choice. You can enjoy the sea view, listen to the waves in the morning, and watch the sunset in the evening.
