Xiamen Travel Guide

Santa Marta's Malecon is a seaside leisure promenade of this Caribbean port city, and locals' and visitors' favorite for evening strolls, cooling off and watching the sea and sunset. This promenade along Santa Marta bay has one side the broad Caribbean bay—with fishing boats and yachts moored, and a landmark islet "El Morro" rising in the sea; the other side palm-shaded walkway, green space, restaurants, bars and old-city blocks. At dusk the Malecon is most pleasant and lively—cool sea breeze disperses the day's heat; people come to stroll, jog, cycle, or sit on benches and seaside bars, enjoying drinks and food while watching the sun slowly sink into the Caribbean, the sea and sky dyed brilliant gold-red—romantic; the silhouette of El Morro adds uniqueness. At night the Malecon has warm lights and lively bars—a good place to feel Santa Marta's leisurely seaside life and city pulse. Walking the shore, watching sea and sunset—the Malecon is Santa Marta's pleasant, charming stop.

Seaside Park sits in Siming, Xiamen, Fujian, China, beside the Xiamen–Gulangyu strait and Yuandang Harbor — an open coastal leisure park on the island's west shore. Lawns stretch, boardwalks meet the sea, and you gaze to Gulangyu, Haicang and a molten-sunset horizon; it is where locals jog, fly kites, watch tides and couples stroll. At night, musical fountains and coastal lights glow romantically; cafés and bistros line the edges — an easy gateway to Xiamen's 'city on the sea' slow life and a prime spot for the island's dusk.
