What to expect

  1. Nanputuo Temple
    1h · Admission ticket included
    You will be picked up at your hotel at 8:30AM and go to see South Putuo Temple, which is the most famous and beautiful temple in Xiamen. It is named after Putuo Mountain, a Buddhist mountain, which it is based at the foot of.

    The temple grounds have a peaceful atmosphere as they are surrounded by ponds and lotus flowers, and is the perfect spot for a stroll. As part of the temple, you'll find the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Precious Hall of Great Hero, the Hall of Great Mercy and the Buddhist Scripture Garret to explore.
  2. 1h · Admission ticket included
    Hulishan Fortress is a key national historical and cultural site. One of the fortress's cannons was listed in the Guinness World Records. It's on the south of Xiamen Island at the top of Huli Hill, overlooking the sea. This fortress was built to protect the island from invasion. The fortress and artillery will be particularly interesting to history buffs.

    One of your rewards when you reach the top of the fortress is a stunning view of Xiamen and the outlying Dadan and Erdan islands. Telescopes have been installed in order for people to get a better look at the beautiful scenery.
  3. Gulangyu Island
    3m · Admission ticket included
    After lunch, we will take a 20-minute ferry and set foot on this quaint and relaxing island famous for its colonial-style buildings, themed museums and artistic ambience.

    Get off the recurrent route that most tourists take. Discover the villa where Mr. Chiang Kai-shek once lived, listen to beautiful organ music, and enjoy a bird's eye view of the island from a viewpoint with few tourists.

    We will be back to your hotel at 17:00.
