Welcome to Xiamen, the Garden City on the Sea!

They will assist with your luggage and escort you to your hotel in downtown Xiamen, ensuring a smooth check-in. After settling in, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Xiamen is a city that invites exploration, with its mix of natural beauty, rich history, and modern charm. Take your time to wander through its picturesque streets, visit local landmarks, and soak in the relaxed coastal atmosphere. Whether you choose to stroll along the lively streets or find a quiet corner to relax, today is the perfect introduction to this charming city.
After relaxing at the hotel for a bit, you can head out to explore some nearby attractions. I’d recommend a visit to any of the following spots, each offering a unique glimpse into Xiamen’s charm and culture. Here, you can enjoy some of the local delicacies, perhaps sampling peanut soup or the famous Xiamen spring rolls. For a taste of Xiamen’s more tranquil side, consider a scenic walk or bike ride along Huandao Road, which hugs the coastline and offers stunning views of the sea, soft beaches, and palm groves. The view of the sunset here is especially breathtaking. Additionally, Egret Isle Park (Bailuzhou Park) is a great place to unwind, with its peaceful lakes, lush greenery, and variety of birds, giving you a glimpse into the relaxed pace of life enjoyed by the locals.
In the morning, your guide will meet you at your hotel in Xiamen and escort you on a scenic drive to the famous Nanjing Tulou, a UNESCO World Heritage site located about 1.5 hours away from the city. The Tulou are large, fortified structures made of rammed earth, known for their unique round or square shapes, and were originally built by the Hakka people during the Ming and Qing dynasties. As you explore these remarkable buildings, you’ll be taken on a journey back in time, learning about their architectural brilliance and the community life that took place within these walls. Your guide will explain the significance of these tulou, which served as both homes and fortresses, and share fascinating stories about the families that lived there. The ancient structures are a testament to the ingenuity of the Hakka people and offer a fascinating insight into rural Chinese history and culture. As you wander through these impressive sites, you’ll witness the unique building techniques and intricate designs that make each Tulou so special.
Afterward, you’ll enjoy a scenic drive to Yongding Tulou, another UNESCO-listed site renowned for its larger-than-life structures. Unlike the round Nanjing Tulou, many of the Yongding Tulou are square-shaped, offering a striking contrast in architectural styles. These tulou, some of which are over 300 years old, were constructed using natural materials, including wood and earth, and have stood the test of time. Here, you’ll have the chance to explore some of the most famous Tulou, including the renowned Chengqi Lou, also known as the "King of Tulou," which boasts a massive size and breathtaking interior. Your guide will walk you through these ancient buildings, explaining the history behind their construction, their strategic purpose, and the role they played in Hakka society. You’ll also hear personal anecdotes and historical facts that bring these ancient fortresses to life, giving you a deeper understanding of the Hakka culture and their resilient way of life. The peaceful rural surroundings further enhance the experience, offering you the chance to connect with the area’s serene beauty.
Following this enriching visit, you’ll head to a local restaurant in Yongding for a delicious lunch that introduces you to authentic Hakka cuisine. The meal will feature hearty, comforting dishes that reflect the region's farming roots, such as stir-fried vegetables, savory pork belly, and specialty rice cakes, all crafted from fresh local ingredients. One standout dish to try is the Hakka stuffed tofu, which is expertly seasoned and filled with a delicious mixture of pork and herbs. Another popular dish is the “Meatball Soup,” made from tender meatballs simmered in a flavorful broth that’s both comforting and rich in flavor. Throughout the meal, your guide will share insights into the cultural significance of the dishes and explain how they reflect the agrarian lifestyle of the Hakka people, emphasizing the importance of communal meals and the sharing of food within families.
In the afternoon, you’ll return to Xiamen and have the opportunity to explore Zhongshan Pedestrian Street, one of the city’s most vibrant shopping and cultural districts. The street is lined with a blend of old colonial-era buildings and modern retail stores, offering a unique mix of historical charm and contemporary vibrancy. As you stroll along the street, your guide will highlight the architecture of the area, explaining how it reflects the city’s colonial past and its subsequent modernization. Zhongshan Road is also home to an array of local street food vendors, where you can sample Xiamen's famous delicacies, such as oyster omelets, shrimp dumplings, and peanut soup. Whether you’re shopping for souvenirs or simply enjoying the lively atmosphere, Zhongshan Pedestrian Street offers a dynamic experience that showcases Xiamen’s cultural fusion and modern spirit.
