Xiamen Spring Stroll by the Sea Alley｜Picking Flowers and Freshness

Spring in Xiamen is filled with the fragrance of flowers and the taste of the sea with every step～🌊​
Cherry Blossom Garden Expo Park・Walking in Pink Mist​
No need to squeeze into Wuda! The cherry blossom forest in the Garden Expo Park is super healing～pink and white petals pile up like a "cloud," and when the wind blows, it showers "cherry blossom rain," falling on the bluestone path like a soft pink carpet✨ Find a flower tree to sit under, buy a cherry blossom-flavored ice cream, with pink cream wrapped around a crispy cone, one bite full of the sweetness of spring. Occasionally, bees stop on the flowers "buzzing" to collect nectar, and the distant Xinglin Bridge reflects the flower shadows. Photos taken with your phone need no filters; every shot looks magical～​
Houhai Fishing Village・Seeking Freshness by the Waves​
More lively than the main street of Zengcuoan! Colorful fishing boats dock by the shore, fishermen squat on the boat boards mending nets, the spools turning with a "rustling" sound🐠 At the village entrance, the seafood porridge stall emits a fresh aroma, with shrimp and clams resting in the freshly cooked porridge, a sip warms your stomach. Sitting on the stone steps by the sea, watching the waves gently lap the shore, occasionally picking up small sea snails with fine sand; hold one to your ear and you can hear the "sound of the sea," even the wind carries the softness of the fishing village～​
Bashi Peanut Soup・Old-fashioned Warm Sweetness​
A spring comfort hidden at the end of the alley! The clay pot on the coal stove "bubbling" with peanuts, grandma scoops it up with a porcelain spoon, the peanuts are so soft they melt with a bite, sprinkled with some sugar, the warmth wrapped in sweet fragrance🥣 Paired with fried jujube, glutinous rice balls rolled in sesame seeds, biting into them reveals a peanut filling, hot enough to make you blow on it but you can't stop eating. Grandma smiles and says, "Drinking this in spring is the best nourishment," the bowl in her hand still warm, even the wind in the old alley turns sweet～​
Huandao Road Spring Waves・Cycling to Chase the Wind​
Spring on Huandao Road is super comfortable! Rent a colorful bike and ride against the wind towards Huangcuo, bougainvillea blooms brightly by the roadside, petals occasionally falling into the bike basket🌬️ Passing the beach, you can see children chasing the waves, kite-selling stalls fluttering with colorful strings. Buy a little goldfish kite, fly it against the wind, watching it float in the blue sky, even the bike bell's "ding-ding" sounds lighter and happier～​
