It is also a nice experience to walk the back streets in Xiamen City. You feel safe even at 10 in the evening. Most salespeople are patient and accomodating. And the merchandise quality is of high quality.

choosing a hotel

My choice is a middle class (3 star) hotel. This time I chose Xiamen Plaza which is along major transportation routes and next to a bus terminal and a popular shopping center with exciting fast foods and Walmart. The manager-Ms. Sue is also English speaking.

At Lowu shopping center tall girls in high slit chongsams standing next to escalators will hand you a leaflet. Once you take it they will follow you. to escort you to a restaurant on the top floor be prepared to pay sky high prices for the food!

We strongly recommend that you buy a city map for RMB 5 and Amoymagic by Dr. Bill Brown for RMB 30 at Xinhua bookstore at Zhongshan Rd. It easier to get around. Bus rides cost RMB 1. Pay upon embarking.

pickpockets

avoid touts, when selecting an item during shopping be alert when suddenly people come close to you be extra careful when boarding taxis with a lot of packages pickpockets are nearby.
