Fodor's Expert Review Ding'aozai Cat Street

In 2014, Xiamen-based artist Guo Mingming decided that the Ding'aozai area, a short walk from the university district attractions, was boring and launched a project to liven it up with a plethora of paintings and statues of cats. Now the stretch is a fun, feline-filled, selfie mecca--filled, with little coffee shops and restaurants. Also, don't miss the Xiamen Cat Museum (400 Siming Nan Lu), which is more of a shop, really, but which has a gang of cats living in a weird train carriage–like house.
