Highlights of our Xiamen tours

Xiamen tour highlights can be discovered on every one of our Xiamen tours.

  • Gulangyu Island – Continue to be surprised at the diversity of people and cultures in China, as demonstrated in exceptional examples of residual European architecture of Gulangyu, the enduring Buddhist buildings and religious traditions and the pace of commerce.
  • Shuzhuang Garden – A Xiamen tour is not complete without a visit to Shuzhuang Garden to appreciate the exquisite blend of garden and sea in the classic design of garden art, with tremendous appeal to artists and photographers.
  • Piano Museum – Delve into the history of music with a visit to the Piano Museum, with its collection of more than 70 valuable old pianos from all over the world.
  • South Putuo Temple – Much to be admired on a Xiamen tour is the sacred Buddhist building of the Tang and Qing dynasties, located in a picturesque setting surrounded peaks and the sea.
  • Yongding Hongkeng Tulou Cluster – Make the most of the opportunity to view at first hand the cluster of traditional buildings, built in a defensive circle, using earth, stone, bamboo, and wood, capable of withstanding typhoons and earthquakes, to protect families and communities.
  • Tulou Museum – From exhibits at the Tulou Museum, there is much to learn about the development of distinctive Tulou architecture and the historical evolution of the exotic Hakka culture.
  • Chuxi Tulou Cluster – Be intrigued by this group of earthen structures dating back to the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century, built in concentric rings, squares or rectangles, to house and protect communities.
  • Nanxi Tulou Cluster – Nanxi Tulou Cluster is a beautiful village of dwellings scattered amongst green mountains and lush vegetation. The scenery is made more picturesque by the ash-black capped circular earthen walls of the dwellings dotted throughout the landscape. Hidden gems are revealed as you visit individual family buildings, such as the elegant Fuzhen Lou and the literary family Yanxiang Lou. This is an unmissable highlight of Xiamen tours.

Tripadvisor score Beautiful China!

June 2025 • Family

We absolutely had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Chinatours.com to assist travelers to build their itinerary. Our itinerary was well outlined to include many wonderful historical sites, fun outdoor markets and beautiful gardens. We were guided by very knowledgeable and friendly tour guides. We especially liked Lee. She was accommodating, knowledgeable about the history of China, introduced us to the many wonderful things about the culture, recommended very good local restaurants, and assured confirmation and safety of our transportation. Chinatours booked us very nice hotels and the transport between cities was seamless. We really enjoyed our time in China and wished we could have stayed longer.

Tripadvisor score 100% fabulous experience

June 2025 • Family

The trip with China Tours was 100% fabulous. Everything about it was exactly as described. The tour guides were all wonderful, the hotels, and transfers (two bullet trains, two domestic flights) were amazing, everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great first trip to China. We did the 13 Days China Wonders & Pandas tour in June 2025. The balance was perfect between sightseeing with the guides and having free time to explore this amazing country at each destination. The high quality of the five guides along the way really made the trip. They were wonderful people without exception: professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The team at China Tours did truly great work in arranging everything, down to the last detail. Thank you very much for making this trip a really great experience!

This is a fantastic tour. The tour guides are amazing- so knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The experience of visiting the historic sites has been made far richer than it would’ve been on our own. We have left China with a greater understanding of Chinese history, culture and its people.
