- Gulangyu Island, located in Xiamen, Fujian, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Sea Garden and Island of Music." It boasts unique European-style architecture and charming natural scenery, making you feel as if you are in a fairy tale world. Here, you can stroll through the narrow streets and feel the rich historical atmosphere. You can admire various architectural styles, such as European, Chinese, and Nanyang styles, each with its own unique story and history. If you haven't been to Gulangyu Island yet, you must come and experience its beauty and romance.
- Xiamen Botanical Garden, commonly known as "Wanshi Botanical Garden," is an important part of the Gulangyu-Wanshi Mountain Scenic Area. It integrates botanical landscapes, natural landscapes, and cultural landscapes. Visit the ocean-view escalator, misty forest, and the world of succulents.
- Xiamen Nanputuo Temple is a famous temple in southern Fujian, adjacent to Xiamen University and backed by the Five Old Peaks. As early as the Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty, eminent monks built huts here to practice Buddhism. Its predecessor, "Puzhao Temple," was renamed Nanputuo Temple during Shi Lang's reconstruction in the Qing Dynasty.
- Sailing and Tide Catching Experience: Arrive at the coastal tidal flat fishing ground to experience the fun of tide catching. Roll up your pants, bring special tide catching tools, and go to the shallow sea tidal flats to catch fish and shrimp, dig clams, and pick up shells, enjoying the gifts of the sea. Enjoy the harvest at low tide. What you catch depends on your luck, just like opening a mystery box! Catching fish and shrimp is a beautiful childhood memory for many people. Due to life's various challenges, many beautiful memories have slowly faded from our minds. Open your "exclusive tide catching mystery box" and perhaps it will evoke past memories—as if it were yesterday. When the tide recedes, staking and netting are fortunate for fishermen, and various sea fish and crabs are as easy as reaching into a bag. Experience the life of fishermen by harvesting abundant seafood after the tide recedes.
