Eight Cities: "Old markets that every city has."
Bashi is a seafood distribution center in Xiamen, carrying the taste of Xiamen for countless people. Many tourists come here to see and experience Xiamen's seafood market, but in addition to the seafood market, there are also some snacks hidden around Bashi (the kind that can satisfy hunger), all prepared for locals.

Shapowei is the birthplace of Xiamen Port and served as a sheltered harbor since the Qing Dynasty. With the development of the times, Shapowei has lost its function and gradually transformed into a creative neighborhood.
Cat Street: "Catless Cat Street"
In Xiamen, there are many overseas Chinese mansions and companies from the modern Nanyang era, which have also brought many cats with exotic bloodlines. Due to its island-like geography, it is suitable for various cats to inhabit and reproduce, making it one of the leading cities in terms of cat population and biological morphology in China. In recent years, with the rise of tourism, Xiamen has also become the city with the most cat culture in China, and cat culture is gradually becoming a local characteristic of Xiamen. At some point, a shop called "Spring Cat 1931" or "Cat Museum" settled here, quietly driving a "cat industry". The current Zhongwozi has been developed into a cat-themed commercial street. Come and take a look at this unique "Cat Street". On this short street, you can see cat elements everywhere, from murals and decorations to road signs.
