Private Two-Day Fujian Hakka Tulou Trip

About Xiamen

Xiamen is a green island city on the Fujian coast, facing Taiwan, with the car-free island of Gulangyu, old temples and a long seaside road.

Xiamen occupies an island and a stretch of mainland shore in Fujian province, close to the Taiwan Strait, and was one of the first Chinese ports opened to foreign trade in the nineteenth century. Its mild climate and tree-lined streets set it apart from the bigger cities of the south. Gulangyu, a small island a short ferry ride away, has no cars and holds colonial-era villas, church spires, a piano museum and winding lanes.
