Why visit Xiamen?
Xiamen is a coastal city known for its island scenery, leafy streets, and relaxed seaside promenades. You will find a blend of historic architecture, waterfront parks, and lively neighbourhoods, all framed by views of the harbour.
What to expect
The city centres around Xiamen Island and nearby Gulangyu, with compact districts that are easy to explore. Car-free lanes, tree-shaded avenues, and a long shoreline walkway make it feel calm and walkable, while the skyline hints at its modern, dynamic side.
Plan your trip
Xiamen works well as a standalone city break or as a gateway to the wider Fujian coast. With efficient transport connections, you can base yourself here to explore nearby islands, coastal viewpoints, and inland landscapes at your own pace.
