Things to do in Xiamen

Nice experience. We were given sufficient time to tour the Tulou. It was a Chinese-speaking tour. There were people from Singapore, Taiwan, Inner Mongolia, and other parts of China. Everyone was punctual and polite. The coach was very spacious, with only 3 seats in a row. The tour guide was a guy from SHANDONG. He was responsible. The itinerary was covered with sufficient time allocated to each place. To my pleasant surprise, we were served sour vegetable meesua soup, so that we would not be hungry before coming back to Xiamen.

modern clean bus, pseudo shopping stop at the first tulou stop (local guide was selling tobacco and tea while we waited for the photos to be processed) the tulous were amazing, last stop’s scenic area with water wheel was a bit lacklustre. lunch was communal, dishes tasty. mostly local chinese on the tour.

We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, with clear communication from the organizer a few days before the tour. Even though it rained the whole day, our guide made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. As a traveler in my second trimester of pregnancy and without any Mandarin skills, I really appreciated the guide’s attentiveness. Despite the rain, it was still a memorable and enjoyable Gulangyu experience.

very good trip. good food. comes with a Chinese tour guide but with free and easy time as well.

陈导 who made the tour truly memorable. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke with great enthusiasm. She shared interesting facts about each attraction.

Everything was good enough even though the tour course was changed a little bit due to rain. We traveled comfortably for a round trip of 4-5 hours on a premium bus with a 2+1 seating arrangement. The guide spoke a little English and actively used a translator, so communication was easy. Best value for money👍👍👍

We met a great guide. He explained everything so passionately with hardly any breaks, and I was amazed by his vast knowledge. Xiaobao, you're really amazing!

we have a very good , timely driver, he is very flexible and responsible person. polite , neat and he keep his vehicle very clean .

The ship is composed of floors 1, 2, and 3, with the 3rd floor being the best for viewing, but you have to purchase a table for 200 yuan, as shown in the last photo. So I enjoyed the night view while sightseeing from the 2nd floor. I think it would be good to dim the indoor lights on the 1st floor during operation. Since the inside is bright and the outside is dark, only the interior is reflected in the windows. The staff is very friendly, and you can purchase drinks and snacks inside the ship, so please keep that in mind. I think it's worth trying at least once when visiting Xiamen.
