Bay Park: Watch the Sunset, Enjoy the Tides, Stroll in the Park, and Explore the Market.
Bay Park is located in Siming District, Xiamen City, surrounded by the bustling Lujiang Road and the unique Coffee Yundang Street. It faces Gulangyu Island across the sea.
The park is quite large, with lush greenery, a water garden, a forest garden, a seaside promenade, and a playground. Every spot is picturesque. However, I've heard that the playground will be removed soon, so you won't be able to experience the park's roller coaster in the future.
You can arrive at the park around 4 PM. The first stop can be the 'Comic-Style Hill.' There are two low grassy hills on both sides of the park. On a sunny day, with the blue sky and white clouds as a backdrop, it feels like a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki animation!
Then, find a spot under the shade, bring a picnic mat, some snacks, and drinks, and have a picnic. I love relaxing and chatting in the park. The environment is pleasant and tranquil, perfect for a laid-back conversation with friends.
In the evening, you can stroll and chat along the seaside promenade, feel the gentle sea breeze, and listen to the waves crashing against the shore.
At sunset, find a step by the sea to sit down, quietly wait, and watch the stunning sunset. The sky's colors change continuously with the setting sun. The orange-red sky, the cargo ships on the sea, and the planes flying overhead together create this beautiful moment.
On the Avenue of Stars, there are many stalls selling snacks and drinks. The summer heat, blue sky, gentle breeze, sunset over the sea, reflections of fishing boats, and the sound of laughter—this is the life I love.

Xiamen!! Lucky to encounter the world of Hayao Miyazaki's manga
Remember this spot in Xiamen, as if you are in the green grassy hills of Miyazaki's manga, forming scenes from Miyazaki's 'The Wind Rises'. It's truly a great place for photos, suitable for all ages. The lotus flowers are also blooming in the pond, looking particularly exquisite. In Haibin Park, there are beautiful coastal views, making it an excellent spot for sea watching and sunset photography. The Starlight Avenue, with more than 2000 floor lamps, is a great place for couples to date, as if entering a dreamy world. There is also a small children's park, perfect for parent-child interaction. For families, it is an unforgettable time. Overall, I think Haibin Park is a place worth visiting.

Free Happiness | The Best Free Flower Viewing Spot in Xiamen in April!!
Finally went to see the water lilies at the Bay Park today
There was fog today 🌫️ which affected the blooming. The plants are quite small and not very lush! It's not the best viewing period yet. The beautiful close-ups are all taken with a zoomed-in N times!!
But it's very comfortable on weekdays when there are fewer people 😌
Watching koi in the pond, there are also egrets and various birds that I don't recognize
The fish playing among the lotus leaves are so beautiful~
The unmanned Miyazaki anime green hills are also super beautiful

Gulf Park | Picnicking and watching the sunset was so beautiful it moved me to tears
Picnicking and watching the sunset was so beautiful it moved me to tears. Go to a windy place~
The 📍Gulf Park in Xiamen city center
Right in front of the lawn is the vast seawall🌊
Glistening waves✨✨
Few people, comfortable (no need to squeeze with the crowd at Shangli Reservoir)
Coming at 3 pm is just perfect to enjoy the warm sunshine☀
At 5 pm, sit on the seawall to watch the sunset🌇

Xiamen Bay Park
Xiamen's Bay Park, as the name suggests, is a park by the sea, and the most beautiful scenery is probably watching the sea. Indeed, that's correct. Watching the sunset over the sea at Bay Park is spectacular, and all Xiamen residents know it. Today's highlight isn't the sea view; in fact, the woods and hills inside the park are like a green fairyland, reminiscent of the Teletubbies' setting. It's worth mentioning that it's particularly suitable for bird watching, specifically egrets. In fact, it's even more convenient than the bird-watching corridor in Dongdu, as you can get closer for clearer shots.

Xiamen Bay Park | Check in the small hill in Miyazaki's comics
Hello, everyone, I am Jack's travel story, today I am here to share with you the Xiamen Bay Park.
⛲️About Xiamen Bay Park:
Xiamen Bay Park, located on the west side of Hubin West Road, Xiamen City, Fujian Province, is divided into seven scenic areas in landscape design: Sky Garden, Earth Garden, Forest Garden, Grass Garden, Water Flower Garden, Coastal Scenery and Starlight Avenue, and is divided into North Garden and South Garden by Starlight Avenue.
📷Photo recommendation:
✅Small hill: The first recommendation is the small hill here. The height of the small hill is not particularly high but there is only one on the top of the hill⛰️,
There are many people taking pictures here, so you must choose a good composition first, and you can take pictures as soon as you go up. Standing on the top of the small hill, it is really full of comic style.
✅Coconut tree: There are many trees like coconuts hanging around the park, and the weather was very good when I went there. It's very easy to take pictures.
✅Seaside: The most important thing about Bay Park is undoubtedly to come here to feel the seaside here, you can walk along the seaside plank road, or you can look at the bridge and the boat on the sea opposite, which is refreshing.
🔎Detailed address:
No. 109, Hubin West Road, Siming District, Xiamen City (can enter and exit from the south gate and east gate).
🎫Ticket: Free.
⏰Opening hours:
Open all day.

The most enchanting Bay Park, doesn't it feel like stepping into the backyard of the gods??
Xiamen Bay Park is the largest seaside park in Xiamen and one of the favorite leisure and entertainment places for Xiamen citizens. And here, the most enchanting thing is the beautiful scenery at sunset!
Whenever the sun sets, the sky of Bay Park will turn into a brilliant rosy cloud, dyeing the entire bay golden. Standing by the sea, feeling the breeze on your face, listening to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks, watching the sunset gradually, it seems that the whole world has become quiet and beautiful.
Weather: Before going out, you need to confirm whether Xiamen is clear on the day, it is best to have clouds, if the weather is dim or clear without clouds, the effect of the film will be greatly reduced
Time: In summer, it is recommended to go around 4 pm, the light is just right and soft, and after it is over, you can watch a golden sunset in Bay Park
Angle: The photographer stands at the bottom of the grass slope or on the slope to find the angle, the model can run back and forth on the long steps or pose on the two oblique angles of the grass slope, pay attention to taking a group photo of the model, lawn and sky
Dress: After the photo is color graded, it is easy to have Japanese comics, film, and retro effects. You can wear sportswear, Japanese uniforms, white shirts or light-colored dresses
In addition to the small grass slope in Bay Park, there are also amusement parks, small woods, etc., which are also very suitable for taking pictures
Props: Fruits, picnic mats, straw blue, drawing boards, etc. The seawall next to the park can watch the sunset and there are berthed ships, which are a bit of a small harbor atmosphere. I really like sitting by the sea, blowing the gentle sea breeze and enjoying the sunset. Map navigation: Xiamen Bay Park
You can take Metro Line 2 to 'Jianye Road' Exit 2, walk about 850 meters from the station, or ride a shared bicycle

Coastline Cafe
The interior is more of a Korean minimalist style, while the exterior is dominated by the blue sea and white church. Because it's built along the coastline, it's called the Coastline Cafe! It's one of the most popular places right now. If you want to check in, you have to queue up! But once you get in, you'll find that it's worth the wait! It's really a great place for photos, and it's so comfortable to enjoy the sea while taking photos with your besties!

Bay Park
Another summer from Hayao Miyazaki's animation is in Bay Park. The park is large with many lawns. Going up the stairs, you feel like you can touch the sky in the photos. It's also a great place to watch the sunset. The blue sky, white clouds, clear water, fresh air, it's a natural nourishment. During the day, you can look west to the sea and east to Yundang Lake in the park. At night, you can go to the bar street, the night view is especially beautiful!
📍Address: Take a taxi/bus to the bay
Seawall Memorial Park
The same sea train from Spirited Away, the seaside railway track, the photos are so beautiful. I recommend wearing a JK uniform. The abandoned railway on the right side of the sea is a great place to take photos or stare at the sea. The scenery of the train along the sea on the left is very similar to Kamakura, Japan. A casual shot is a beautiful photo~ (This train is the legendary sea view subway - Xiamen Subway Line 1)
📍Address: Get off at Jimei School Village Station on Line 1, locate Seawall Memorial Park
Uncommon Place Art Space
American retro street scene, a collection of fashionable art, film and culture art space. Zebra crossings, 80s cars and bicycles, newsstands, subway stations, American post offices and other scenes are particularly photogenic. It's interesting to see such a miniature town in Xiamen with an American style from the 80s and 90s. The architectural details and props are very realistic, and there are many interiors that you can enter, giving you a sense of immersion. I hope it can continue to expand in the future.
