Transport in Kinmen

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

This time we originally rented a 125 motorcycle from Guancheng, but my boyfriend and I only have a car driver's license, and the car rental company couldn't let us drive without a license, so we temporarily changed and rented a VIOS. The car was in good condition. We first rented the car at the airport for one day, and returned it in the city at noon the next day. Then we told the car rental company that we were going to Shuitou Wharf to take a boat, and they hired someone to take us there for free. After we came back from Dadan Island, we called the car rental company, and they happened to have a car at Shuitou Wharf, so they took us back to the city and rented another one. The price was more expensive than booking a car on Klook, but their service attitude was really good, and it was worth spending a little more money! And on the first day of this trip, we were on the Golden Gate Bridge, and we encountered the first tire burst and spontaneous combustion accident since the Golden Gate Bridge was put into use. Fortunately, we were all safe.

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