Fantastic 5.0
An overall enjoyable tourist experience. Good valve for the price. Arrving at the seaport look for the ticket office. You will show your passport used to purchase the ticket. Then a short walk to the entrance that started cueing 30 minutes before launch. once onboard there are three decks. 2nd deck offers good views but can be slightly crowed. 3rd deck is open air with less sightseers. There are tables and chairs, light snacks & soft drinks at cost. River cruise provided good views along the 50 minute voyage. Nice way to start or cap your evening. When in Xiamen I would recommend this river cruise. price: ease of booking on Klook: experience:

I had a wonderful experience with the assigned tour guide 小胡 during my trip to 土楼. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and very attentive to the group’s needs. I met like minded friends from HKG in my group. The itinerary was well-paced, and we never felt rushed. I really appreciate the insightful explanations about local culture and history, as well as the thoughtful recommendations for food and photo and massage spots. Thank you for making my trip smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly recommended!

The service is quite good, and the dancers perform diligently, making for an excellent show. It's very suitable for bringing older family members. If you're worried about feeling awkward, don't choose the most expensive seats. Instead, opt for the first row on either side, which is closest to the dancers and often includes interactive games.

Was a great day trip to Yunshuiyao and Tulou. The travel agency will email requesting for WeChat ID and thereafter all communications were done via WeChat. The driver and Yunshuiyao guide is the same person and we were assigned to 洪师傅. He came to pick us from our hotel at Zhongshan Pedestrian Street at 7.30am and he was very punctual. Thereafter we went to pick another 2 more groups before heading to Tulou. Actual itinerary: 7.30am - Pick up from hotel 10am - Reached Tulou, a separate guide from the Tulou will meet the group there and explained the history of Tulou. Visited 3 Tulous and the whole walk was about 3km. 12pm - Lunch at a restaurant (meal not included) 1.30pm - Leave for Yunshuiyao 2pm to 4pm - Yunshuiyao tour 4pm - Sending the group back to their accoms 7pm - Reached Xiamen Zhongshan Pedestrain Street Total of 6 pax and a comfortable 9 seater bus was allocated. Pleasant experience and will definitely recommend.

I booked this tour without realizing it was a local Chinese tour, but it was still a lot of fun. I'm Korean, and the staff took great care of me from the beginning to the end of the itinerary. I had an issue with the WeChat app, so we communicated via email, and they provided convenient pickup and drop-off near my hotel, which made traveling much easier. In fact, because it was a local tour, I got to experience a more authentic and natural side of the area. Of course, I couldn't understand most of the explanations since they were in Chinese, but the visual experience was much more enjoyable. And using a translation app made it manageable, so it wasn't too difficult to travel. Thank you for taking such good care of me!

Thank you, Xiao Yan, for your service. Two days before our trip, you created a WeChat group and carefully informed us of important details and meeting points for our tour day. Although it was extremely hot on the day of the tour, you did your best to make us feel comfortable and flexibly adjusted the itinerary. It was excellent, and we will definitely choose Koolk again next time we visit Xiamen.

Thank you to driver Xiao Zhang for picking us up and dropping us off on time. It was amazing to see the Tulou buildings come to life from our textbooks; there are over 30,000 of them here! Yunshuiyao was beautiful, and thanks to Xiao Zhang for helping us take photos 🤳. Highly recommend 👍👍👍

Great 4.0
The QR code couldn't be redeemed on-site, so we had to purchase another set of tickets there. The staff recommended buying an annual pass, which involved photo identification and real-name verification, making the process quite cumbersome. Fortunately, I had purchased an additional experience on the Klook platform that allowed for refunds if unused, and I'm currently awaiting the refund process. The visual effects of the performance were good, but the content leaned towards cross-strait relations and lacked a modern, innovative feel. It's an experience worth trying once.

What to know before visiting Xiamen

Discover Xiamen City and what draws visitors

Xiamen City is a coastal getaway popular for day tours, parks and gardens, and attraction passes, with steady interest in observation decks and zoo/aquarium visits. Demand on Klook shows a clear rhythm through the year, with a pronounced spring peak and a quieter late-summer lull.

When to visit for crowds and prices

Klook booking data shows April is the busiest month while August is the quietest. Prices move modestly across the year: they dip to their lowest around August and rise toward March, so cheaper activity options typically appear in August while late-winter and early-spring months trend more expensive. Travellers seeking lower prices and smaller crowds should consider visiting in August; those wanting peak-season atmosphere and the liveliest scene will prefer April. Overall, demand and prices mostly move together here—busiest months tend to be among the more expensive months.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia book activities roughly a week or more in advance, so plan key experiences ahead—especially if you travel in April when demand peaks. That said, many experiences can still be reserved close to arrival, with last-minute availability often possible a day or two before. Use Klook to compare timing and lock in the tours and park passes that matter most to your trip.
