Visited The Meizhou Island with my family members during the June holiday, the experience i can say that it was a wonderful experience for me. Lots of things have change throughout the years. The roadside used to be filled with rubbish that is being discard by the residents and tourists, but now its clean and give me a feel of being comfortable. And for the beach it used to be a very very empty beach, but now there is activities for people to do. The place always give me this feeling that i simply can't explain with words, and this feeling always makes me want to come back to this superb island. Although things might be a little bit pricey on the island but everything is worth for that money you spend. If you are going there don't miss out the mazu blessed cake. Going to the Meizhou Island gave me a lesson on their culture knowledge and and really thankful that this place existed.

Due to the prosperity of Quanzhou's maritime trade, many stone carvings of literati have been left. There are many caves on the mountain, and there are thirty-six of them named thirty-six caves.

Kaiyuan Temple is an ancient Buddhist temple complex from the Tang dynasty, featuring two stone pagodas and well-preserved scriptures. The largest of its kind in Fujian province, this historic temple contains pillars adorned with Hindu God symbols and a souvenir shop inside. Before entering, visitors should read the guidelines at the front gate. The monastery boasts a rich collection of ancient sculptures, Buddha statues, carvings, and scripts.
Iconic landmark of Quanzhou that is definitely worth a visit! Do some quick reading up on the history of the temple before visiting to better appreciate the place (or if you have the budget you can pay one of the tour guides hanging around outside the temple).
This temple has survived natural disasters and bears distinctive design elements from India, which makes it very unique compared to other temples I've visited. Depending on your level of interest, it can be a very quick 30min whiz through just to take photos (which a lot of teens in costume were doing) but it's worth taking your time to hear more about the stories within!

Archeological studies suggest at least Vaishnavism and Shaivism schools of Hinduism had arrived in China in its history. At present, there are no Hindus in Quanzhou. However, there previously existed a Tamil Hindu community in the city who, in the late 13th century, built the Kaiyuan Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva.

The area around Xiamen University is popular for its top tourist attractions including South Putuo Temple, Hulishan Fortress, Baicheng Beach, and Huandao Road.

The Nanputuo Temple was a beautiful place for both secular and spiritual visitors. The temple had a few of architectural highlights, a nice pagoda and a nice pond, some beautiful corridors, and lovely calligraphy on big rocks.
The temple was also a big attraction to local crowd; tourists should be well prepared for a little bit of tumult.
The kitchen of Nanputuo prepared great vegetarian dishes that you certainly wouldn’t want to miss, even though you were not a vegan.

Interesting ancient historical Buddhish temple which attract large crowd daily; be it worshipers or tourists. It is not a very large place though. Worth the visit to satisfy one's curiosity as first time visitor to Xiamen.
Xiamen University, situated in the city of Xiamen in Fujian Province, is a multi-disciplinary university founded in 1921 with donations from overseas. The campus is known for its picturesque location between the sea and the Five Old Men mountains, making it one of the most beautiful campuses in China. The modern infrastructure sprawls over an expansive area at the foot of Wulao Feng hill and near Xiamen bay.
No doubt one of the most beautiful universities! Lots of food options (for tourists?) I know I won’t able to afford to dine in the restaurants when I was in college.

Started from 2018 Oct, it's mandatory to make reservation through the Uni Wechat account 'U厦大' in order to visit the university. It's said that the influx of tourists has seriously interfered the school order and teaching.
Visiting slot as below:
1. Mon-Fri: 12-2pm (1000 reservations)
2. Weekend & school holiday: Available whole day (5000 reservations)
3. National holidays: Available whole day (10k reservations)
Reservation can be made 3 days in advance.
For the moment, there is no other way to visit the uni without reservation by yourself, travel agencies face difficulties to get the seats too. DON'T BELIEVE on someone claimed that they have SCALPER TICKET which can bring you in (you might asked to pay 80rmb to 800rmb), they are in fact didn't make any reservation and you might face serious 'break in' offence.

The building structure is very interesting, and there is a tunnel named Fu Rong Tunnel which has many nice murals painted by students.

The most beautiful university in China... Great scenic views all around... Apparently, since too many people visit the university, they have put blockades at the entrances and more you have to make a registeration online to visit the university... Around 5000 people can visit the university in a day... It would be better to register 2 days earlier than your preferred visit date...

Gulangyu, also known as Gulang Island or Kulangsu, is a car-free islet off the coast of Xiamen in southeastern China. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts nearly one thousand historical buildings, including former European consulates and Chinese-inspired Art Deco mansions. The island's rich history dates back to the turn of the 20th century when it housed a thriving European community due to Xiamen's role as a gateway for traders and missionaries.
A former foreign enclave from 1840s until the 1930s, it is now both a residential suburb and a major tourist area. With its significant rich history, it was formally designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site 6 years ago.
There are hundreds of the old colonial-era buildings nestled all over the island. Without motorised vehicles which are prohibited on the island and depends solely on your pair of legs, you need 2 days to fully explore the many mansions and villas opened to the public.

A well-developed tourist island which has well-preserved old houses. It also features a beach and different shots. Every major way is paved beautifully and you can tour the whole island inside an electric vehicle. Trees are all over which also provides shade and scenic beauty when strolling around.

Great architecture and beautiful old lanes that wind throughout the island. Riguanyyan (sunlight rock) offers some fantastic views. The top can get really crowded. If there is time left, I would recommend that you visit Haitangtiangou. There are performances of the Nanyin (Chinese music) and a fun puppet show for kids. Wander off the beaten track and you will find some pleasant surprises.

Well... If you are visiting Xiamen and you don't take out a day for this island, then you have really missed out on something.
It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to.
So it takes a ferry ride to get you there which can cost you up to RMB50 to RMB 308 depending upon the kind of ferry you take there are several options like those which take you around the island are more expensive.
We went at around 12 pm and bought 50rmb tickets for 130 pm ferry... There are ferries every 20min so don't worry.. some people say that you need to book the tickets in advance but I don't think that is a problem or maybe we were very lucky...we went on a Saturday when many people are there and still got the tickets over the counter.
After reaching the island, you should definitely take the electric cart for RMB 50 which will take you around the island and drop you to different parts and also pick you up again and drop you back to the exit. Keep your tickets safe to show every time you want to take the cart.
The island is so big that even one day is not enough to see it all... We saw the museum which had piano museum and 12 caves in it. And also there is motor boat rides in the beach, which I think was very expensive (RMB150 for Scooter and RMB 300 for the boat) only thing I feel is that asking for tickets everywhere is very expensive. One tickets to island and one to the cart is what we should be charged.
The place is full of greenry and is so beautiful.. we enjoyed a lot and luckily it rained the day we went so it was not too hot. Piano museum is also worth a visit.
Later on we went to the under water fish aquarium which has a lot of different kinds of fish and is a place you can spend some of your time. But again you have to spend RMB 90 for the ticket.
There are a lot of souvenir shops, some restaurant and also a hotel within this island. But yes everything is expensive and food.is not vegetarian friendly so pack something for yourself and take with you.

Picturesque island close to Xiamen in South China. Unfortunately has become quite touristic (mostly Chinese, but also foreigners). The streets out of the shore are calmer, but still full of shops and commerce. Nice views and characteristic architecture of European inspiration.
Riyuegu Hotsprings Resort is a luxurious hot spring hotel with elegant rooms and suites, offering a welcoming atmosphere for international guests. The resort boasts an array of amenities including spa facilities, seven dining options, and bars. Guests can indulge in the various hot spring pools, saunas, cold rooms, and even waterfalls spread throughout the property. It's recommended to dedicate an entire day to fully enjoy all that the resort has to offer.
Remarkable hot springs! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Its collection and variety of hot pools is incredible - from coffee or ginger tea, to wine or lemongrass water. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here.
I picked up the shuttle nearby the Fortune Hotel near the International Ferry Terminal. I showed up quite early and was confused because various people told me to go to various places to wait and buy my ticket. In the end, Jade from the Fortune Hotel showed me what to do - arrive about 15 minutes before and just get on the bus. I ultimately didn't have to pay anything, but I've heard it normally costs 30 RMB.
At the resort (and it truly is a resort - pools, massage, rest areas, tea stations, restaurant...), you get a personal locker and wristband that you charge everything to. I felt safe keeping my belongings (passport, etc.) in the locker, although I knew it was my responsibility if anything happened to them.
At the pools they required me to wear a swimming cap, so I had to buy one for 18 RMB. Not too bad.
The place has all this incredible greenery. The gardeners must be busy around the clock! Truly a serene place for the guests.
The massage was really great - oil and hot stones. My therapist was professional and made me really relax.
I would recommend to come here with a friend or more, as sitting alone in the pools can get boring.
Overall I had a fantastic stay here and will definitely be back.

Be sure to bring swim suit and hair cap as they limit some pools for people who don't wear hair caps. Overall it's a good place to relax and treat yourself with hot spring. BTW, shuttle to and from the place is every 2hours and operate to In'l ferry terminal for 30 rmb.

Very friendly atmosphere even if you don't speak Chinese. Waterfalls, saunas, cold rooms, and huge hot spring pools throughout the whole place. Recommend spending the entire day there since you will probably be taking a bus from Xiamen. A few people walking around in underwear, the odd boardshorts, but mostly bikinis / speedos and the odd person in their full clothes

Have been to this place 5 times. Best relax ever. Hot and cold baths, swimming pools (especially massage pools 🥰). Turkish bath, sauna, cold room and forest room. Love everything. Also very tasty food in the buffet. Love it ❤️

Dropped a load of money on a Hot Spring Room & Day Tickets & ended up with Athlete's Foot. 👌
Long way out of Xiamen and very dissatisfied at the end!

(Translated by Google) The hot springs are really great. There are a variety of spring waters to choose from. You will be satisfied once and for all, and you will not want to leave until you soak in them. Forest environment, small pool, secluded. Worth a visit.

Dongshan is a county of far southern Fujian Province, People's Republic of China, located along the Taiwan Strait. It comprises 44 islands for a total area of 194 square kilometres and is under the administration of Zhangzhou City. The total population was 200,000. Wikipedia.
An outlying Island with few local villagers, was rural before, since the 11km sea bridge was built it is now a popular spot of tourism and vacation, a lot of new residence developments as well.

I didn’t get a lot of pictures here but hear the rundown. It’s basically an island with good views of the water but of course with the Chinese smog it’s not as pretty. One thing that makes this place different is the colored cups that are used to capture oysters. It’s also about 90 rmb to cross the bridge onto the island and getting a taxi to get out can be difficult

广济桥, a historical bridge constructed during the 12th century, is a popular tourist attraction in Chaozhou. It is renowned for its pontoon boats and numerous pavilions. A boat comes together every day from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, allowing people to walk through the other side of the bridge. At night, at 8:00 pm, beautiful light shows are accompanied by musical performances.
Been coming to chaozhou for years and is one of my favorite city in china. In the old days they charged a fortune to get on this bridge but they finally brought it down to earth. A must see day and night with the lazer show.

Amazing bridge with scenic views. A must visit if in Chaozhou. Inside certain pavilions,
there are very beautiful items displayed for sale

Although it was very crowded, it's something you have to see. It's the first bridge in the world to be able to fold a part of the bridge. A couple hundred years before England's London Bridge.
Winston Wang — Google review
A historic bridge with middle section made up of movable boats that can be opened to allowed ships to pass. Excellent restoration work to reconstruct the ancient history.
Kuma H — Google review
You haven’t been to Chaozhou if you haven’t visited this bridge. So here we came and were suitably impressed! CNY20 per adult was well worth it. In case you were wondering, did not walk the other quieter end of the bridge (made a u-turn back) but please let us know if we missed anything!
Nicole Lee — Google review
Walked about 15-20 minutes from Orange Hotel. Admission ticket CNY20 No re-entry, so think twice before exit. Am attracted by it's 过河拆桥 and the night view photos from Google, and it is one of the top places to be visited in Guangdong in China. It is known as Xiangzi Bridge 湘子桥. It is one of the Four Ancient Bridges 中国四大古桥 in China, which are Luoyang Bridge in Huian country, Lugou Bridge in Beijing, and Zhaozhou Bridge in Zhao Country. There are 30 bridge pavilions which are built on the piers of the bridge
In the middle of Guangji Bridge is a pontoon bridge consisting of eighteen shuttle boats. Walking on the pontoon bridge, you can have a special experience. Due to the need for navigation, the pontoon bridge is put aside at around 17:30 every day so that the cargo ships can pass through. If you happen to pass by at this time, you can also enjoy the amazing view of “removing bridge to cross river”, 过河拆桥
Angelina Angle — Google review
Highly recommended for all to visit. Even worth making a trip just to visit the bridge.

Kaiyuan Temple
Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks

A beautiful temple with architectural and garden details not less than those in Beijing and Xian. The stone cravings you can touch and feel are exceptional. In most other tourist sites you can just see them from a distance.
Look at the eyes of those stone people, many of them have two pupils…
It is not a big site to see for most people not interested to the religion and building art works. Still it worth the effort and entrance fee to visit.
Marc Chow — Google review
Beautiful temple with garden. Free entry but it closes pretty early.

Fresh air, nice home-cooked, simple meal. Vegetables fresh from the farm. A 1,600 years old taoist temple up in the mountain.
Shaun Chai — Google review
(Translated by Google) Even rain and fog couldn't stop us from climbing to the top.
The road was slippery and bumpy, we made our way up
Rain and sweat cannot extinguish our enthusiasm
It is recommended to prepare trekking poles to make the climb easier
It takes 5 and a half hours to go up and down the mountain.
So bring some snacks and water just in case
Because the path is more primitive and natural
Shoes must be non-slip and easy to walk on
Although I am not a top player, I will always reach Feiyunding if I climb slowly.
If you want to challenge yourself, come here and give it a try

雨和霧也停不下我們攻頂的腳步
一路溼滑顛簸,我們一路向上
雨和汗水澆不熄我們的熱情
建議備妥登山杖會好爬一點
上山下山共5小時半
所以帶點零食和水以備不時之需
由於路徑較原始天然
鞋子一定要防滑好踩
我雖然不是頂尖好手 但慢慢爬總是會到飛雲頂
想挑戰自己一點要來這裡試試看

(Translated by Google) Cave Heaven Blessed Land in China's Ten Famous Taoist Mountains
Su Dongpo, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, made Luofu Mountain famous all over the world with his famous line "Spring is always present under Luofu Mountain, and the oranges and bayberries are fresh every time. If you eat three hundred lychees a day, you will grow up to be a Lingnan native." Luofu Mountain, also known as Dongqiao Mountain, is one of the ten famous Taoist mountains in China. It is the seventh of the thirty-six Taoist caves and the thirty-fourth of the seventy-two blessed places. Sima Qian, a historian of the Han Dynasty, once compared Luofu Mountain to "Guangdong Mountain", Luofu Mountain is known as "the first mountain in Lingnan".
Luofu Mountain is located in Boluo County, Huizhou, Guangdong, 25 kilometers from the county seat, 60 kilometers from Guangzhou to the west, 40 kilometers from Dongguan and 90 kilometers from Shenzhen to the south, and 45 kilometers from Huizhou to the east. It spans Boluo County, Longmen County and Zengcheng City, with a total area of more than 260 square kilometers. With its majestic mountains, beautiful scenery and pleasant climate all year round, it is a key national scenic spot and summer resort in China. It is also a "blessed place" for people from Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan and Huizhou to vacation.

(Translated by Google) It's a great marathon park. Everywhere is beautiful. This is the case in many places in Dongguan. The ecological park and modern buildings are very compatible and harmonious. I originally wanted to go cycling in this park, but it's a pity that the public transportation facilities in Dongguan are not very good. Developed, it is difficult to come here, alas.

Qifeng Park, spanning 243 hectares, is a vast expanse featuring ancient and modern attractions such as the Huangqi Temple, Gate Tower, Qifeng Lake, and Qifeng Park Square. The park's Huangqi mountain is renowned as one of Dongguan's legendary sceneries. Notably, an ancient well within the park is believed to possess magical properties. Visitors can witness large groups engaging in dancercise at night in the plaza while enjoying epic Chinese opera performances.
Qifeng Park has walking paths, old lady dancing groups, hordes of kids, vendors, and a grueling stair climb to an overlook spot. The scenery was nice.

Keyuan Garden, a historic garden dating back to the Qing Dynasty, is one of the four renowned gardens in Guangdong Province. With its traditional buildings, ponds, and bridges, it offers scenic paths for visitors to explore. The 19th-century Lingnan architecture and carp-filled waters make it a cultural treasure. Accessible by bus, this peaceful sanctuary provides a window into Dongguan's history and culture.
It is inexpensive to visit this place and it's a great window back into history of Dongguan. It is peaceful and relaxing to walk around here and absorbed the culture. There are someone performances here that you can enjoy for free, which I think is a great bonus. I recommend stopping here and enjoying the views of the architecture and culture.

The Opium War Museum, originally known as the Lin Zuxu Memorial, was built in 1957 to honor the man who initiated the Opium War in China. The museum features exhibits on opium prohibition and the history of the mid-1800s Opium Wars, including artifacts, art, and rotating displays. Visitors can explore dioramas depicting life during that time period and view cultural artifacts such as intricate embroidery showcasing fashion from that era.
A small museum to commemorate the Opium War. Lin Zexu, 林則徐, the man who stood up to the British and started the Opium War by burning the British opium in the pits that are still there today in there garden area. Worth a visit if you are in the area.
Julian Wong — Google review
Though a modest museum, not so sleek and high tech, but the interiors are rich in contents depicting the struggles of the Chinese people against the British trading Opium in China in the 19th century. Exhibits are in both English and Chinese languages, with life-sized dioramas of the conditions of the time. Some cultural artefacts are also shown, including the fashion of the era, with intricate embroidery etc. Worth the 90 minutes spent on site!
Entrance is free of charge, but foreigners will have to get the attendant to validate your passport to get a ticket.

Although you can enter the grounds and walk around, the museum itself is CLOSED ON MONDAYS! Very interesting place in a very uninteresting town. Easiest way to get here us to take the high speed train to Humen Station, then get a Didi or taxi to the museum. Lots of information about the history and how Hong Kong came to be. There are two huge pools filled with water where an insane amount of opium was destroyed (which angered the British who were smuggling it in illegally). There's a big statue of Lin Zexu, the main guy at the time given the impossible task of stopping the opium.
