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.

Excellent tour guide that was very knowledgeable and courteous. Communication with the agent was smooth and responsive. I recommend to upgrade the hotels as you will get to stay at the Pig's Inn, which was a real highlight.

Dec 2024 • Solo

It has been a very pleasant trip to Chengdu, albeit my first visit to the city. The guide, Robert and the driver had exhibited exemplary services during this period. Very professional and detailed in introducing the sites visited. Look forward to visiting the city again.

Tripadvisor score Well arranged private tours.

Nov 2024 • Couples

We worked with Martha from China Tours.she was terrific in making all the arrangements. She was available by WeChat when we arrived in China. Hotels were top notch. The guides in each city were friendly and personable: . Ariel in Beijing , Elyshia in Xian and Warren in Shanghai. The guides assisted us at the airports or train station. Cars were comfortable. We chose China Tours because we were not interested in “ shopping tours “. We liked the guided visits to historic sights but liked having some free time to explore on our own. Would certainly use them again for future trips to China.

Dec 2024 • Family

We just returned from a 15 day trip around China. Leading up to the holiday China Tours helped us immensely by providing feedback and information regarding our itinerary and told us about all the apps required to get by in China. We had 3 day tours with China Tours in Beijing, Xi’an and Chengdu with the amazing guides Kevin, Helen and Tracy who were very informative (spoke very good English) and took us to all the essential sights in China. China Tours went above and beyond to create an incredible experience for us which we will remember forever.

Tripadvisor score 35 day personalised trip of China & Tibet

Oct 2024 • Friends

2 couples just completed a 35 day tour of China using individual English speaking local guides in each area we visited. We planned what we wanted to see and China Tours organised all the linguistics. We travelled by bullet train, cars & a plane to access areas not included in group tours. China Tours also provided us with some smaller boutique hotels at our request, which were amazing. The difference in cost for this personalised tour was great value. All the guides and drivers were very experienced and did their best to give us the most enjoyable experience. China Tours head office representative was always available on WeChat for any questions or changes which could effect our trip. (Such as a typhoon in Hong Kong on our last 2 days) As very experienced self guided travelers we would highly recommend China Tours in a country where the language & logistics are challenging.
