Why visit Xiamen?
Xiamen is a relaxed coastal city known for its leafy streets, seaside promenades, and historic island architecture. You will find an easy-going atmosphere, with sea breezes, waterfront views, and a blend of traditional streets and modern cafés lining the harbour.
What to expect
The city is centred around Xiamen Island, with the old-world charm of Gulangyu Island just offshore and growing business districts along the waterfront. Strolling-friendly neighbourhoods, bike-friendly roads, and a compact city core make it simple to combine sightseeing, work, and downtime in one trip.
Plan your trip
Xiamen works well as both a short city break and a starting point for exploring Fujian province, including coastal areas and inland tea-growing regions. With a well-connected airport and fast links to other major cities, it is an accessible gateway to the wider southeast of China.
