Baijiacun, an old street once home to many overseas Chinese and now a cluster of historical buildings, is a must-visit place for foodies with its large variety of restaurants and distinctive local character.

Residents of coastal areas tend to be masters at making seafood, and Xiamen is no exception. Local chefs stir-fry tofu, oyster, squid and pike with an iron pan, brew them with specially seasoned sauce, and quench their thirst with a nice cup of ice beer. [Photo/visitxm.com]
