Kinmen

Great introduction to Little Kinmen. This is way more expensive than Route G of the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Service, but I didn't know how to book the latter, so thankfully this tour is offered on Klook. The guide also only spoke Mandarin, which was stated in the tour description, but he did try to use Google Translate for me. The other tourist I was with was also helpful in translating what the guide says from Mandarin to English. So, I still recommend the tour even for non-Mandarin speakers.

Experience: It's not often you get to experience hands-on crafting, so seeing the finished product gives you a great sense of accomplishment. Definitely worth trying! The staff explained everything clearly and provided helpful assistance when needed. Highly recommended.

The qipao experience was amazing, and the owner took so many beautiful photos for us. If you're not sure how to pose, the owner will patiently guide you to get the best shots. Highly recommend trying Style of Shanghai!

Very fun! It can help children develop their observation skills and hands-on abilities. It's the kind of thing kids can play with on their own with LEGOs, and adults only need to help with things that are difficult to assemble.

Brought the little ones to experience the Hanfu they've been dreaming about! The owner is very skillful and super patient, transforming them into beautiful styles in an instant! The girls are so happy and keep saying they want to come back and have the sister make them pretty again!

Hope this info will help any international traveller going from Kinmen (Shuitou Pier 水头码头) to Xiamen (Wutong Port 五通客运码头) 1) Collect ferry ticket from the left most counter (i.e. i海台已附款取票柜台) at Shuitou Pier 水头码头 2) The ferry tickets can only be collected between 30 and 70 minutes before departure. 3) Security and immigration clearance only starts 60 minutes before ferry departure 4) Luggage will be kept in the luggage rooms within the ferry, but unlike the Kinmen side, you'll need to find and claim your luggage before exiting the ferry! Remember to fill in the physical Arrival Card for Temporary Entry Foreigners (photo before) either provided during the ferry trip or at Wutong Port, as you'll need the card to clear the immigration at Xiamen

The rental location is conveniently located just a short walk from the airport exit. I also appreciated the full tank upon pickup and return policy (at least I didn't have to worry about filling up in stages like other places, afraid of putting in too much gas! 🤣)

Our driver Daimler Ho was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. An excellent guide overall. thanks for the memorable trip!

Arrive at the waiting room inside the pier on time and wait for your name to be called for ID check before boarding. The tour guide's explanations were lively and interesting. The boat will first circle Erdan Island before heading to Dadan Island for landing. If you want to buy a souvenir shirt, do it early, otherwise, your size might be sold out. Overall, the trip was great and highly recommended.
