Xiamen (厦门; B-mn̂g Minnan shahrida, Xiamen Mandarin tilida, an'anaviy inglizcha nomi: Amoy) sohil bo'yidagi shahar Fujian Viloyat Xitoy. Bu asrlar davomida muhim port bo'lib kelgan va Xitoyning eng qadimgi portlaridan biriga aylangan Maxsus iqtisodiy zonalar 1980 yilda. Xiamen nomi "uy eshigi" degan ma'noni anglatadi, bu shaharning ko'p asrlik Xitoyga kirish eshigi rolini anglatadi.
Xiamen juda jonli, boy va zamonaviy joy, garchi Xitoy standartlariga ko'ra bu kichik shahar - shaharda atigi 3,8 million kishi va shahar atrofini hisoblashda 4,3 million kishi (2018). Unda xitoylik bo'lmagan ko'plab aholi va ularga xizmat ko'rsatadigan bir qator restoran, bar va do'konlar mavjud. Shuningdek, bu erda bir nechta universitetlar va turizm uchun mashhur bo'lgan ba'zi joylar mavjud.
Eng muhim sayyohlik maydoni Gulangyu, ba'zi bir mustamlaka binolarini o'z ichiga olgan va avtoulovsiz shahar markaziga yaqin bo'lgan kichik orol. Endi a YuNESKOning Jahon merosi ro'yxati.

Boshqa ko'plab Osiyo shaharlari singari, Syamen ham eski va yangi narsalarning ajoyib aralashmasidir. Binolar qadimgi ibodatxonalardan zamonaviy osmono'par binolarga, tor xiyobonlardan ko'p qatorli bulvarlar va magistrallarga qadar bo'lgan yo'llar va hunarmandchilikdan yuqori texnologiyalargacha bo'lgan sohalardir.
Yo'nalish
Shaharning asosiy qismi Syamen orolida joylashgan. "Xiamen" atamasi biroz noaniq, chunki u orolni, undagi shaharni yoki butun shahar hududini (xitoy tilida "prefektura darajasidagi shahar") anglatishi mumkin. ma'muriy tizim), shu jumladan, orolda bo'lmagan shahar atroflari. Ushbu maqola Syamen orolini qamrab oladi; boshqa sohalarda quyida bog'langan o'z maqolalari mavjud.
Xaritada Xiamen oroli pushti (Xuli tumani) va yashil (Siming tumani) pastki qismiga yaqin joylashgan. Diametri taxminan 13 km (8 milya). Gulangyu katta orol yonidagi yashil nuqta. Ikkala orolning ham ko'p qismi qurilgan, ammo ikkalasida ham juda ko'p parklar mavjud va ko'plab daraxtlar va gullar mavjud; bu tropik jannatning aniq ranglariga ega bo'lgan shovqinli zamonaviy shahar. Shuningdek, er relyefi tepalik va juda oz sonli tepaliklar hali ham o'rmon bilan qoplangan.
Materikdagi ma'muriy jihatdan Syamen tarkibiga kiradigan joylar Xayang sariq rangda, Jimey ko'k rangda, Tong'an quyuq yashil rangda va Sian'an to'q sariq rangda. Bir necha o'n yillar ilgari bular asosan qishloq joylari edi, ammo hozirgi kunda ularning hammasi bir necha yuz ming kishidan iborat bo'lib, tezda o'sib bormoqda; shahar oroldan tashqariga kengaymoqda. Xiamen oroli Ximey bilan bir necha ko'priklar (avtoulov, temir yo'l va tezkor tranzit), Xayangga bitta ko'prik va Sian'an bilan tunnel orqali bog'langan. Tong'an tilida so'zlashilayotgan dialekt Xiamen orolidagi bilan sezilarli farq qiladi, ammo u hali ham o'zaro tushunarli bo'lishi uchun o'xshashdir.
Asosiy temir yo'l stantsiyasi, shaharlararo avtovokzallar va parom terminallari Xiamen orolida joylashgan, ammo boshqa hududlarda unchalik muhim bo'lmagan stantsiyalar mavjud. Aeroport ham orolda, shimol tomonda. Avtobus tezkor tranzit tizimi (BRT) orol bo'ylab sharqdan g'arbga, ikkinchisi esa shimoldan o'tib, ko'prikdan o'tib, keyin Jimei va Tong'an qismlaridan o'tishga imkon beradi. Boshqa tumanlarda hali BRT xizmati mavjud emas. Qarang Atrofga boring BRT haqida ko'proq ma'lumot, shu jumladan xaritaga havola.
Tarixiy binolarning aksariyati va shaharning yangi tijorat va ishbilarmonlik markazining aksariyati Xiamen orolining Gulangyuga qarama-qarshi qismida joylashgan, ammo yangi rivojlanish u erdan sharq va shimolga uzoq yo'lni bosib o'tgan. Qadimgi markaziy mintaqadagi yirik ko'chalarga qirg'oq bo'yidagi Lujiang yo'li, unga parallel bo'lgan Siming yo'li va bir oz quruqlik kiradi va qolgan ikkitasiga perpendikulyar ravishda piyodalar uchun mo'ljallangan savdo ko'chasi bo'lgan Chjunshan yo'li kiradi. Xiamen universiteti ushbu shahar markazining janubiy qismida joylashgan.
Uzoq va juda chiroyli halqa yo'li Xuando Lù (xaritada X401), universitetdan sharqiy qirg'oq bo'ylab orolning shimoliy chetidagi aeroportgacha boradi; uning bo'ylab mashhur plyajlar mavjud. Katta yangi Xalqaro konferentsiya markazi[ilgari o'lik havola] o'z mehmonxonasi bilan bu yo'ldan narida, qirg'oqning yarmida.
Orolning g'arbiy qismida, shahar markazidan bir oz shimolda, xaritaning pushti-yashil chegarasi yaqinida sharqdan g'arbiy tomonga cho'zilgan uzun, tor ko'l mavjud. Uning nomi Yundang ko'li yoki Yuandang ko'li deb nomlanishi mumkin; biz Yundangni bu erda ishlatamiz, chunki u xitoy tilidagi tovushga yaqinroq, ammo ikkala shakl ham keng tarqalgan.
Katta yo'llar ko'l qirg'og'iga parallel ravishda va to'rt tomondan bir oz ichkaridan o'tadi, ularning hammasi ko'lning qaysi tomonida ekanligi nomlari bilan yozilgan. Xubin-Beylu (Leykzord shimoliy ko'chasi) atrofida bir nechta yuqori darajadagi mehmonxonalar (Marko Polo diqqatga sazovor joy), juda oz sonli chet el aholisi va ko'plab restoran va barlar mavjud. Ko'l bo'yida, asosan, yuqori darajadagi joylar, orqa ko'chalarda esa kamtarroq muassasalar mavjud. Hubin Nanlu atrofida (Ko'l bo'yidagi Janubiy ko'chada) do'konlar va ofislar joylashgan.
Xubin Nanluning janubida va unga parallel ravishda joylashgan Xiahe Lu - shaharning yangi qismining asosiy ko'chalaridan biri; unda ko'plab banklar, mehmonxonalar va ofislar, bir nechta yirik savdo markazlari va temir yo'l stantsiyasi mavjud. Sharqiy-g'arbiy BRT chizig'i uning bo'ylab o'tadi.
Ko'lning g'arbiy qismida, u bilan dengiz qirg'og'i o'rtasida, Xayvan bog'i, dengiz qirg'og'ida yarim o'nlab bar / restoranlar mavjud, ularning barchasi katta verandalarga ega, ular suvga qarashadi. Ko'ldagi baliqlar singari, ular asosan G'arb taomlarini taklif qilishadi va Syamenning katta chet elliklar jamoasida mashhurdirlar.
Syamenning konteyner porti, ko'lning shimolidagi shaharning g'arbiy tomonida, Yerdagi eng gavjum 20 qatorga kiradi. Orolning g'arbiy tomonidagi katta yo'ldan siz yuzlab to'plangan konteynerlar va ularni ko'chirish uchun ulkan kranlarni tomosha qilishingiz mumkin. O'ngdagi Xayang ko'prigining fotosuratida bir nechta qizil turnalar ko'rinadi.
Iqlim
Xiamen saraton tropikasidan bir daraja shimolda joylashgan. Iqlimi subtropik, yil davomida iliq; hatto qishning eng sovuq oylarida ham (yanvar va fevral) kechasi o'rtacha 10 ° C (50 ° F). Ayoz nihoyatda kam uchraydi va oxirgi marta 1893 yilda bo'ron kuchli qor bo'roni bo'lgan.
Yozda issiq bo'ladi; iyul va avgust oylarida o'rtacha kunlik yuqori va past ko'rsatkichlar 32 va 25 ° C (~ 90 va 77 ° F) ni tashkil qiladi va ko'pincha nam bo'ladi. Yomg'irning ozgina qismi bor; o'rtacha yiliga 1350 mm (~ 53 dyuym). Oktyabrdan yanvargacha eng quruq oylar.
Xiamen ko'plab Xitoy shaharlaridan toza havoga ega; dengizda, juda og'ir sanoat mavjud emas va ko'mir bilan isitish deyarli yo'q va shahar hukumati odatda ifloslanishni qat'iy talab qiladi, chunki bu sarmoyalarni olib qo'yishi mumkin. Xiamen xalqaroga ega bo'ldi mukofot yashashga yaroqli va ekologik jihatdan xabardor shaharlarning tanlovida 2002 yilda; qo'shni Quanzhou keyingi yil g'olib bo'ldi.
Tayfun xavfi bor, asosan iyuldan sentyabrgacha, ammo Syamen qisman ulardan panoh topgan. Tayfunlar Tinch okeanidan kirib keladi; ularning aksariyati kesib o'tadi Tayvan Xiamenga etib borishdan oldin, Tayvanni yo'q qilish uchun ko'p kuchlarini sarflang va Xiamenni urib yuborgan vaqtga qadar yomonroq.
Umuman olganda, iqlim odatda yil davomida juda yoqimli.
Tarix
Mintaqa tariximizga qadar yashab kelgan va Xiamen orolida Xan sulolasi yozuvlarida Masih davrida qayd etilgan. Hududda, hech bo'lmaganda, ming yil avval, Song Suloladan beri shahar bo'lgan. O'sha vaqtning aksariyat qismida bu ma'muriy jihatdan tuman edi Quanzhoutarixiy ravishda Fujianning eng boy va eng muhim shahri bo'lgan. So'nggi ikki asrda Syamen juda ko'p o'sdi; endi u alohida boshqariladi va ko'p shunchaki Quanzhou qo'shimchasidan ko'proq.
1842 yilgacha Xitoy imperiyasi G'arb "barbarlari" ga faqat savdo-sotiq qilishga ruxsat berdi Guanchjou (keyinchalik Kanton nomi bilan tanilgan) va faqat qattiq nazorat ostida. Xitoy Birinchi afyun urushida mag'lub bo'lganidan so'ng, Angliya oldi Gonkong va Xitoy beshtasini ochishga majbur bo'ldi Shartnoma portlari - Kanton, Xiamen (keyinchalik Amoy nomi bilan tanilgan), Fuzhou, Ningbo va Shanxay - tashqi savdoga va ularning ayrim cheklovlarini bekor qilishga. Savdo jadal rivojlanib, ushbu port shaharlari juda tez rivojlandi.
Syamenda, orol Gulangyu konsulliklari va hashamatli uylari bo'lgan chet el anklaviga aylandi. Bugun bu shahar tinch shahar, (mashinalar yoki mototsikllar yo'q), parom bilan shahar markazidan besh daqiqa uzoqlikda va juda ajoyib.
19-asr oxiri va 20-asr boshlarida, Fujian missionerlik faoliyatining yo'nalishi bo'lgan va mintaqada ko'plab tarixiy cherkovlar mavjud. Xitoyning eng qadimgi protestant cherkovi - Shinjie cherkovi Xiamen shahar markazida Ximing yo'li va Zhonshan yo'lining kesishmasida joylashgan.
Xitoy savdosi tarixining bir qismi qorong'i; asosiy mahsulotlar choy, ipak va keramika va "cho'chqalar va zahar" - ishchilar va afyun edi. Ba'zi mardikorlarga juda yomon munosabatda bo'lishgan, deyarli qullar va afyun Xitoyda katta muammolarni keltirib chiqardi. Syamenning qorong'u tomoni ham ijobiy tomoni ham bor edi; u erdagi bitta kompaniya potentsial ishchilarni o'g'irlash uchun inglizlar tomonidan sudga tortilgan.
Dunyo bo'ylab ko'plab xorijiy xitoyliklar o'zlarining nasablarini Fujianga, ko'pincha Minnan- Xiamen atrofidagi nutq mintaqasi. Xususan, Xitoy immigratsiyasining katta qismi Janubi-sharqiy Osiyo deyarli barcha immigratsiya singari Fujiandan bo'lgan Tayvan 1949 yilgacha. Janubi-Sharqiy Osiyo shaharlarining xitoyliklar orasida minnan tilida so'zlashadigan ko'pchilik shaharlari misollarini o'z ichiga oladi Penang, Medan, Klang, Kuching va Manila. Chet eldagi ba'zi xitoyliklar "eski mamlakat", xususan Syamen bilan aloqalarni saqlab qolishmoqda. Tan Kah Kee, boyligini orttirgandan so'ng Malayan kauchuk, Xiamen universiteti boshlandi, an Chet eldagi Xitoy muzeyi yaqin atrofda va qo'shni texnik kollej Jimey. Filippinlik SM tarmog'i birinchi marta Xitoy bozoriga kompaniya asoschisi tug'ilgan Syamendagi do'kon bilan kirib keldi. Chet elda xitoyliklar tez-tez mintaqaga tashrif buyurishadi, ba'zilari ushbu hududdagi turli xil xayrli ishlarga xayriya qiladilar va Syamen Universitetida ko'plab chet ellik xitoylik talabalar, shu jumladan katta kontingent mavjud. Indoneziya.
1980-yillarda Syamen birinchilardan bo'lib a Maxsus iqtisodiy zona rivojlanishni rag'batlantirish va materik Xitoyni tashqi dunyoga ochish; boshqa EIZlar singari u o'sha paytdan beri jadal rivojlanmoqda. Faqat Xiamen oroli va Gulyangyu EIZda bo'lsa, butun mintaqa gullab-yashnamoqda. Xiamen boshqa har qanday materik shaharlaridan ko'ra ko'proq Tayvan sarmoyasiga ega, chunki qisman Tayvan lahjasi Minnan (Janubiy Min), janubiy Fujianning mahalliy tili. Boshqa xorijiy investitsiyalarning katta oqimi ham mavjud; Syamendagi yirik zavodlari bo'lgan xorijiy kompaniyalar orasida Lifetime Products, Dell va Kodak bor.
Xiamen shuningdek, har xil rivojlanish uchun mo'ljallangan beshta yirik sanoat rivojlanish zonalariga ega, ikkitasi Xayang va bittadan Jimey, Sian'an va Xiamen orolida. Tafsilotlar Vikipediya.
Gapir
Asosiy mahalliy til deyiladi Minnan Xua (Janubiy Min nutqi) xitoy tilida va Xitoyda odatda ingliz tilida faqat Minnan. Shuningdek, u keng tarqalgan Janubi-sharqiy Osiyo, qaerda u sifatida tanilgan Xokkienva Tayvan qaerda chaqiriladi Tayvanliklar. Ushbu barcha variantlar o'zaro tushunarli va Xiamen versiyasi standart hisoblanadi, shuning uchun Xiamen Minnanni o'rganish uchun juda yaxshi joy. Minnan Mandarin, Kanton va hatto boshqa Min (Fujian) lahjalari bilan o'zaro tushunarli emas, ammo qisman o'zaro tushunarli Teochewichida chegara orqali gapiriladi Chaoshan viloyati Guandun viloyat.
Xitoyning boshqa joylarida bo'lgani kabi, mandarin deyarli hamma joyda, hech bo'lmaganda ma'lumotli odamlar tomonidan gapiriladi, chunki u 1950-yillardan beri ta'lim, hukumat va aksariyat ommaviy axborot vositalarida qo'llaniladigan asosiy til hisoblanadi. Biroq, mahalliy aholi ko'pincha Mandarin tilida gapirganda kuchli aksanga ega, bu esa Tayvan tilidagi aksentga o'xshaydi. Boshqa obod qirg'oq shaharlari singari, Syamenda ham Xitoyning boshqa qismlaridan kelgan ko'plab muhojirlar bor, ularning aksariyati Mandarin tilida gaplashadi, ammo Minnan tilida gaplashmaydilar.
Xiamen shahrida istiqomat qiluvchi chet elliklar odatda Mandnanni (ba'zan ham) Minnan o'rniga Mandarin tilini o'rganishni afzal ko'rishadi, chunki Mandarin juda keng foydalidir. Syamendan yuz chaqirim narida biron bir yo'nalishda boring, faqat Tayvan bo'g'ozi bo'ylab, va hech kim Minnan bilan gaplashmaydi; mahalliy til umuman boshqacha bo'ladi. Xitoyning istalgan joyiga boring, va siz uchrashadigan odamlarning aksariyati Mandarin tilida gaplashishadi. Aytish joizki, Minnan bilan gaplashishga urinishlar, albatta, mahalliy aholi tomonidan qadrlanadi va hatto mahalliy ijtimoiy doiralarga kirib borish uchun ham muhim bo'lishi mumkin.
Ingliz tili keng tarqalgan emas. Yuqori darajadagi mehmonxonalar, sayyohlik do'konlari va chet elliklar uchun mo'ljallangan ko'plab restoran va barlarda ishlaydigan xodimlardan o'rtacha darajadagi ingliz tilini kutishingiz mumkin. Qaerda bo'lmasin, vaqti-vaqti bilan istisno bilan cheklanmagan bo'lishi mumkin. Bu xitoy tilida gaplashadigan, ingliz tilidagi ba'zi bir qulayliklarga ega shahar Amsterdam yoki hatto Gonkong bu erda faqat ingliz sayohatchisi juda oson kurashishni kutishi mumkin.
Siz Xitoyning aksariyat shaharlaridan ko'ra ko'proq ingliz tilida so'zlashadigan Xiamenda omon qolishingiz va yaxshi vaqt o'tkazishingiz mumkin, ammo qiyinchiliklar bo'ladi. Sizga xitoylik do'stlaringiz yoki mehmonxonalar xodimlarining yordami kerak bo'ladi - ular boradigan joyni xitoy tilida yozish yoki uyali telefon orqali ko'rsatmalar berish - chunki taksi haydovchilari umuman ingliz tilini bilmaydi. Yuqori darajadagi restoranlarda ingliz tili yaxshi, ammo agar siz arzonroq yoki sarguzashtroq ovqatlanishni istasangiz, xitoy tilini o'rganishingiz yoki tarjimonni olib kelishingiz kerak.
Mandarin tilini o'rganish sizga shaharning katta qismini ochib beradi. Minnanni bilish yoki mahalliy yo'lovchini olib kelish muhim ahamiyatga ega bo'lgan yagona joy - agar siz qishloqqa chiqmoqchi bo'lsangiz, dehqon bozorida xarid qilsangiz yoki rokalardan baliqchilardan sotib olsangiz.
Chiqinglar
Xiamen yirik aeroportga ega va avtomobil va temir yo'l aloqalari yaxshi; unga Xitoyning istalgan joyidan va undan tashqaridagi ko'plab joylardan osongina erishish mumkin.
Samolyotda
- 1 Xiamen Gaoqi xalqaro aeroporti (厦门 高崎 国际 机场 XMN IATA). Aeroport Xiamen orolida va shahar markaziga yaqin, ¥ 30-40 va taksida 20 daqiqa. Bu Xitoyning eng gavjum o'nlab aeroportlari qatoriga kiradi - yo'lovchilar, yuk hajmi yoki parvozlar soni bo'yicha - har bir o'lchov bo'yicha uning aniq pozitsiyasi har yili o'zgarib turishi mumkin.
Xiamen Airlines ularning markazi sifatida XMN-dan foydalaning. Ularning butun Xitoy bo'ylab aloqalari, ko'plab Osiyo yo'nalishlariga xalqaro reyslar va Osiyodan tashqari Amsterdam va Sidney kabi yo'nalishlari mavjud. Xitoyning boshqa ko'plab aviakompaniyalari ham Syamenga uchishadi va Xitoyning deyarli barcha yirik shaharlari bilan aloqalar mavjud.
Ehtimol, Xiamenga chet eldan uchishning eng keng tarqalgan usuli - bu ulanish Gonkong. Uchish orqali Guanchjou yoki Shanxay shuningdek, keng tarqalgan; ikkalasi ham yirik xalqaro markazlar, Xiamen bilan yaxshi aloqalarga ega va juda yaqin. Shanxay, odatda, odatda aeroportlarni biroz o'zgarishini talab qiladi; aksariyat xalqaro reyslar amalga oshiriladi Pudong aeroporti ammo ichki yo'nalishlar shaharning narigi tomonida joylashgan Hongqiao aeroportidan foydalanadi. Orqali ulanish Pekin ham mumkin, ammo Pekin Syamendan ancha uzoqdir.
Xiamenga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri xalqaro reyslar odatiy holga aylanib bormoqda va ko'plab uchuvchilar uchun yaxshi variantlarni taklif qilishi mumkin.
Kimdan Tayvan, Songshan va Taoyuan aeroportlaridan bir nechta aviakompaniyalarda ko'plab reyslar mavjud Taypey Xiamenga, shuningdek, bir nechta parvozlar amalga oshiriladi Kaosyun. Biroq, ular eng to'g'ridan-to'g'ri marshrutni qabul qilmaydi va juda qimmat bo'lishi mumkin; uchishni o'ylab ko'ring Qarindoshlar va uning o'rniga Xiamenga feribot olib bordi.
Janubi-sharqiy Osiyodan Xiamenga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri reyslar mavjud Singapur, Kuala Lumpur. Jakarta, Bangkok, Manila va Sebu. Qarang Osiyodagi chegirmali aviakompaniyalar.
Shimoliy Amerikadan, Xiamen Airlines-dan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri reyslar mavjud Los Anjeles va Nyu York ammo AQSh, Kanada yoki Meksikada bir nechta ikkita hop imkoniyatlari mavjud. Korean Air kompaniyasi Xiamenga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri reyslarni amalga oshiradi Seul. Ular ba'zida yaxshi chegirmalar va Inchxon xalqaro aeroporti bepul Internet va qulay divanlar bilan jihozlangan bepul zallari bilan juda qulay. Shuningdek, boshqa ko'plab mamlakatlardan farqli o'laroq, Koreya steril tranzitga ruxsat beradi; agar siz shunchaki samolyotlarni almashtirsangiz, unda siz bojxona yoki immigratsiya orqali o'tishingiz shart emas va Koreya vizasi kerak emas. Japan Airlines aviakompaniyasining Xiamenga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri reyslari mavjud Tokio va Osaka, Filippin aviakompaniyalari va Sebu Tinch okeanidan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri reyslar mavjud Manila va Sebu Tinch okeanidan ham reyslar mavjud Sebu.
KLM o'rtasida to'g'ridan-to'g'ri reyslar mavjud Amsterdam va Xiamen, Xiamen uchun Evropaga birinchi to'g'ridan-to'g'ri aloqani yaratdi. Reyslar haftasiga uch marotaba rejalashtirilgan: Amsterdam-Xiamen dushanba, chorshanba va juma kunlari va Syamen-Amsterdam seshanba, payshanba va yakshanba kunlari.
Aeroportdan avtobuslarga Xiamen universitetiga # 18, portga esa # 27 kiradi, ikkalasi ham temir yo'l stantsiyasida to'xtaydi. # 37 shunchaki temir yo'l stantsiyasiga, # 41 SM Mall hududiga, 91 ko'rgazma markaziga boradi. # 105 shimolga, shahar atrofiga boradi Tong'an orqali Jimey.
Poyezdda
Syamen Xitoy bilan yaxshi bog'liq tezyurar temir yo'l tarmoq; u Janubiy Xitoy qirg'og'i bo'ylab chegaraning narigi tomonidan o'tadigan asosiy yo'nalishda Gonkong Shanxaygacha.
Ikkita tezyurar temir yo'l stantsiyalari mavjud: Syamen (shahar markazi yaqinida) va Syamen Shimol (Syamenbei; Syamen orolidan tashqarida). Ikkinchisidan ko'proq tezyurar poezdlar qatnaydi, ularga BRT shahar markazidan etib borishi mumkin.
Xiamendan marshrutlar:
- Shimoli-sharqdan Fuzhou (¥ 85, 100 daqiqa), Venchjou, Ningbo, Xanchjou va Shanxay (¥ 400 va sakkiz soat atrofida).
- Janubi-g'arbiy, to Chjanchjou va Longyan Fujianning janubi-g'arbiy qismida va keyingi provintsiyadagi joylarda, Guandun Chaoshan kabi Chaozhou. Chiziq orqali o'tadi Shantou va Huizhou oxirigacha Shenchjen (¥ 150, 3½ soat). Shenchjendan Gonkongga o'tish, poezdlarni almashtirish mumkin Guanchjou, yoki feribotga boring Zhuhai.
Yana bir tezyurar yo'nalish ichkaridan o'tadi Putian (Fujian sohilidagi Syamen shimolidan) ga Nanchang yilda Tszansi (Fujianning g'arbiy ichki viloyati). Xiamen-Nanchang vaqti taxminan besh soat.
Shuningdek, Syamendan Fujianning turli yo'nalishlariga va Xitoyning ichki qismidagi yirik shaharlarga doimiy poezdlarda qatnov mavjud. Bu arzon, ammo sekin (masalan, taxminan 20 soatgacha) Vuxan) chunki temir yo'llar tog'lar bo'ylab aylanma yo'lni bosib o'tadi.
Avtobusda
- Quanzhou, ¥ 35, 1½ soat.
- Fuzhou, 70-90 ¥, 4 soat.
- Gonkong, Guanchjou, yoki Zhuhai, 200-300 ¥ atrofida, kechasi shpal avtobusi. Gonkong aeroportidan Xiamenga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri avtobus bor. Gonkongdan ba'zi avtobuslar bor, ular orasida Gongkong-Xitoy chegarasida avtobus almashtirish kerak.
- Gonkongdan Shenchjen orqali: metropolitendagi Lo Vu chegara stantsiyasiga boring, chegarani piyoda kesib o'ting (odatda vizangiz tartibda bo'lsa tez va oson). Chegara majmuasi ichida avtobus chiptalarini sotadigan kichik do'konlar mavjud, ular yaqin atrofda olib ketilishi mumkin yoki siz asosiy avtovokzalga borishingiz mumkin. Bir qator avtobus operatorlari mavjud va tez-tez avtobus xizmati ko'rsatiladi. Lo Vu (Xitoy tomoni) dan Xiamenga sayohat 9 soat davom etadi va narxi 250-300 ¥.

Mahalliy avtobus tizim juda yaxshi, lekin oddiy avtobus yo'nalishlari xitoy tilida keltirilgan va belgilarida ingliz tili yo'q. BRT va Metro yozuvlari xitoy va ingliz tillarida ikki tilli, e'lonlari esa mandarin, minnan va ingliz tillarida uch tilli.
- Xiamen BRT (Avtobus tezkor tranzit). Bunda faqat 4 yo'nalishdagi avtobuslar baland avtobuslarda foydalaniladi. BRT juda tez va qulay bo'lib, ingliz tilida yozuvlari bor. Narxlar masofaga bog'liq, odatda bir kishi uchun ¥ 1- ¥ 4. 1-chiziq shimoliy yuqori tezlikda harakatlanadigan temir yo'l stantsiyasini, aeroportning 4-terminalini va shahar / Simingni birlashtiradi.

Yana uchta yo'nalishda qurilish ishlari olib borilmoqda va 2020-2022 yillarda ochilishi rejalashtirilgan. Oxir-oqibat 11 ta satr bo'lishi mumkin.
Taksilar arzon, dastlabki 3 km uchun ¥ 8 dan boshlanadi (yonilg'i solig'i 3 ¥ ga teng - shuning uchun 11 ¥). Dastlabki 3 kmdan keyin hisoblagich zaryad masofaga qarab ko'tariladi.

Kun davomida siz Xiamen orolining istalgan joyiga, shu jumladan aeroportga ¥ 40 dan pastroq narxda borishingiz kerak. Ammo ba'zi taksi haydovchilari sizning mahalliy emasligingizni bilsangiz va siz boradigan joyga uzoqroq yo'lni bosib o'tishlari mumkin bo'lsa, sizdan foydalanishi mumkinligidan ehtiyot bo'ling. Masalan, haydovchi unga qaerga borishni aytganingizdan so'ng, "Huandǎo Lù" deb aytsa, ayting bù (yo'q), chunki aylana halqa yo'li butun orolni aylanib chiqadi va garchi u tabiiy bo'lsa ham, bu eng qimmat yo'l bo'lishi mumkin.

Mototsikllarga yo'l qo'yilmaydi Syamen orolining hamma joylarida va ijro etilishi markaziy hududlarda (masalan, Yundang ko'li, Chjunshan yo'li va boshqalar) juda qattiq. Boshqa sohalarda, huquqni muhofaza qilish erkinroq va ba'zi odamlar minishadi, ammo bu jarimani yoki hatto politsiyani velosipedni tortib olish xavfini tug'diradi. Materik chekkalarida mototsikllarga ruxsat beriladi (Jimey, Tong'an, Xayang yoki Sian'an), lekin ko'ring Xitoyda haydash ba'zi ogohlantirishlar uchun.

Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street (中山路步行街) runs inland off Lujiang Road (which runs along the coast) near the Gulangyu ferry terminal, through a historical part of the city. This is major shopping area with interesting smaller streets off it. The opening time is generally from 09:00-22:00 The buildings along Zhongshan Road combine a European architecture style with Chinese.
Other major shopping streets in the area are Siming Road and Jukou Street. The area also has many smaller streets with shopping; most are off to the left as you come up Zhongshan Road from the sea.
As you come along Zhongshan from the sea, you can look for a set of stairs going off to your right a short way along; these lead to a smaller parallel street with many little shops and street vendors. From the inland end of that (Siming Road), turn left to get back to Zhongshan Road at the inland end of the pedestrian area.
Xiamen University Street is actually half a street because the other side is part of Nanputuo Temple. Hundreds of shops line the street which is only a few hundred meters. Most of these shops sell garments and cultural things, and the book stores are also worth a look. Since they cater to students, these stores are often more reasonably priced than other areas, but some haggging may be needed to get the best prices.
There is also much tourist-oriented shopping on Gulangyu.
Xiamen has a number of modern enclosed shopping malls or large standalone chain stores. Here are some of the main ones:
- World Trade Mall, 878-888 Xiahe Rd (near the train station in the city center). Includes a huge Walmart.
- Robinson Plaza, Xiahe Road and Hubin Dong Rd (across the street from Walmart). Bor Tesco, Britain's largest chain.
- '''Shi
- SM Laiya (SM City Plaza or SM Lifestyle Center) (intersection of Xiānyuè Lu and Jiāhé Lu (仙岳路/嘉禾路)). Two large shopping malls that are part of the Filipino SM chain; the company founder was born in Xiamen.
- Wanda Plaza (Wanda Guangchang) (Xiānyuè Lu and Jīnshān Lu (仙岳路/金山路)). Newer (2011) mall with Uniqlo, a large Japanese clothing chain.
- Metro (near SM). A German chain well established in China, catering mainly to restaurants and hotels. For Western groceries it is often better than Walmart or Tesco, but some items are sold only in bulk quantities.
- Shimao E-MALL (in the twin towers, near Xiamen University). A seven-storey mall with many restaurants and shops.
Most of these sell everything from fresh vegetables to clothing and LCD TV's.

Budget food areas
Two areas with many cheap local restaurants are around the university and the many smaller streets near Zhongshan Rd, inland from the ferry terminus.
There is an old restaurant on the east end of Zhongshan Rd (intersection of Xinhua Rd) which serves the local dish ShaChaMian, noodles with peanut soup.
Gulangyu also has much cheap food, though prices there are higher than Xiamen.
Around the lake
The area from the north side of Yundang Lake over to Haiwan Park has a large number of bars, cafes and restaurants. Most are mid-to-high priced, though there are exceptions. Many are popular with Xiamen's large community of expatriates.
There is a whole strip of about twenty cafes and bars along the lake on Xidi Coffee Street (西堤咖啡一条街) running West from the Marco Polo Hotel. Most of them are in villa-style homes converted to cafes with patios or balconies with a view of the lake; these are upmarket establishments whose clients include tourists and expats, but are mainly well-off locals. The parking area along the lake always has many BMWs, Audis and SUVs, and often a Ferrari or two.
Most of these serve Western food, but many have Chinese dishes as well and there are some with other specialties. The area also has some stores, also mostly upmarket, selling things like ceramics and lacquerwork.

Xiada Street, between the university main gate and Nanputou Temple, has many restaurants. These mainly cater to the student trade, so they tend to be relatively plain but to offer good value. Neither English menus nor English-speaking staff are common.

Xiamen also has many bars and discos in a more-or-less western style; these are generally more affordable than comparable places in Shanghai or Beijing.
