Xiamen Huli Park | A Time Capsule of Childhood Memories

| A time capsule of childhood memories. ✨For Xiamen locals, Huli Park is a childhood memoir hidden in the folds of the city. Every tree and pathway here is etched with the collective memories of those born in the 80s and 90s—although the colorful slides they once screamed down and the crowded weekend playgrounds have quietly disappeared, the stone benches under the shade, boats on the lake, and evening plaza dancing still flow with the warmth of everyday life that never fades. 🌟【Nostalgic Tour Guide】 ▪️ Lake View Area - Rent a pedal boat to cruise the lake (30 yuan/30 minutes), watch water lilies swaying in the ripples, and see egrets flying over the lake pavilion—momentarily returning to those afternoons when parents accompanied you - 📸Photo spot: "Lake View Pavilion" on the Nine-Bend Bridge, with the lake and trees as backdrop, take vintage-style portrait photos (recommended outfit: white shirt + denim shorts) ▪️ Time Corridor Area - The "Memory Showcase" along the lakeside path displays old photos: bumper cars from the 80s, small trains from the 90s, and carousels from the millennium. Stop to read the descriptions and you'll almost hear the laughter from your own childhood ▪️ New Vitality Area - The former children's playground site has been transformed into a "Family Lawn" where today's children fly kites and blow bubbles on the same grounds, overlapping past and present - Every Saturday morning features a "Street Art Corner": retired grandfathers selling sugar art, middle school students doing street sketches—tradition and youth colliding to create new sparks 🚇【Transportation and Connected Routes】 📍Location: Huli Park (7 Huarong Road, Siming District) 🚆Metro: Line 3 "Huli Park Station" Exit 2, 5-minute walk 🚶‍♀️Side trips: "Nostalgia Route": Huli Park → Huamei Space (creative park in old factory buildings, 1.5 km, 2 bus stops) "Family Route": Huli Park → Xianyue Mountain Tudi Temple (ancient temple with wind chimes, 2 km, 10-minute bike ride) 🏨【Memory Anchor Accommodation: Jinjiang Inn Plus Xiamen North Station Jimei University Town Hotel】 ✅ A nexus of time and space: - Take Metro Line 1 and transfer to Line 3 to reach Huli Park, about 30 minutes total—like a journey from Jimei University Town's "new artistic style" to Huli's "old city memories" - The hotel is only 8 minutes from Xiamen North Station, perfect for those returning home with suitcases to "revisit childhood paths" ✅ Retro nostalgia easter eggs: - The front desk displays "Old Xiamen Toys Exhibition": tin frogs, marble soda, plastic bubble blowers, and guests receive childhood snack gift packs upon check-in (Mimi shrimp crackers + watermelon bubble gum) - Room TVs offer "Old Xiamen Cartoons" on demand: "Havoc in Heaven," "Black Cat Detective"—enjoy snacks while reliving bedtime moments from childhood ✅ Practical thoughtful services: - "Family portrait tripods" available for single parents to capture moments with their children - "Outdoor classic movies" (like "Sparkling Red Star") shown in the hotel courtyard in the evening, complete with popcorn, recreating community memories from the 80s 📌【Wandering Tips】 ▫️ Between 6:30-8:00 AM, you can meet elderly locals exercising; greet them with "good morning" in Minnan dialect for an authentic local experience ▫️ Mosquitoes are common around the lake; bring repellent.
