Tour

Xiamen (厦门) is an important gateway city on the southeast coast of China, renowned as a "Garden on the Sea." It is one of the core areas of Minnan (Southern Fujian) culture and served as a vital hub of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, witnessing China's modern journey of openness and integration. Famous for its unique layout of city and sea—"a city on the sea, and the sea in the city". Xiamen combines the charm of overseas Chinese heritage, exotic architecture, and coastal scenery, which has attracted countless tourists.

Here is the tourism route:

Kulangsu (鼓浪屿) --- Xiamen Botanical Garden (厦门园林植物园) --- Shapowei (沙坡尾)

Kulangsu (鼓浪屿)

Kulangsu, located off the southwestern coast of Xiamen, is a national-level scenic area spanning less than two square kilometers. Named after a reef on its southwest beach that emits a drum-like sound when struck by waves, the island is often called the “Garden on the Sea” for its year-round greenery and floral charm. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 2017, it preserves over a thousand historic buildings ranging from traditional Fujianese courtyards to Gothic and Baroque Western structures, earning it the title of “Museum of World Architecture.” Additionally, renowned as the “Island of Pianos,” it once had the highest piano density in China and has nurtured many celebrated musicians. Gulangyu harmoniously blends natural beauty, rich history, and architectural diversity.

Xiamen Botanical Garden (厦门园林植物园)

Xiamen Botanical Garden is a national botanical garden combining plant research, education, and tourism. Covering an area of approximately 4.93 square kilometers, it houses over 7,000 tropical and subtropical plant species. The garden features two signature attractions: the Desert Plant Zone, showcasing a striking variety of cacti and succulents that create a landscape reminiscent of the desert, and the Rainforest World, where an artificial mist system evokes the enchanting atmosphere of a tropical jungle. Established in 1960, the garden harmonizes natural mountain and water scenery with artistic landscaping, earning it the title of a "green jewel within the city."

Shapowei (沙坡尾)

Shapowei, on the southwestern coast of Xiamen Island near Xiamen University, is the birthplace of the city’s port culture. Once a Ming Dynasty-era typhoon shelter and Xiamen’s only fishing harbor, it has transformed into a vibrant cultural district. Traditional Minnan Qi Lou buildings now coexist with art spaces, independent cafes, and old workshops. Blending vintage charm with youthful creativity, Shapowei retains its authentic local spirit while embracing modern trends, serving as a unique cultural window connecting Xiamen’s past and present.
