Getting Lost in Xiamen

We went to Xiamen for 3 days and 2 nights.  But I decided not to include our 1st night since it consisted of our meeting.  So I'll just include in this post our 2 day itinerary.

To give you an idea of our trip:

DIY Bangkok in 3 days

This post is for someone who:

1. 1st time ever experiencing a diy travel
2. 1st time in bangkok
3. has 3 full days in bangkok - 5 days in total (1st and last day for departure and arrival)
4. wants a combination of sight-seeing and shopping
5. has someone with them who can not walk for long hours
