9 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Xiamen That You Shouldn't Miss

May 22, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

The livable, lovable city of Xiamen teems with university students buzzing amid Buddhist temples, art galleries and beautiful parks. The city is actually comprised of islands; one of which, Gulangyu, is a peaceful bohemian oasis that's completely vehicle-free. Nibble on some glass noodles or juicy dumplings while perusing shops stuffed with antiques, delicate beads or ceramics.

As part of a Viking Ocean excursion, we visited Gulangyu Island and enjoyed the scenery, Shuzhuang garden, and the piano museum. There is a cultural tradition on the island which also features mansions and impressive European style buildingd and bridges. I have numerous photos of our experience on the island.

With the convenience of bike sharing, this area has great views from the seat of a bicycle. The gentle breeze makes a very comfortable stretch of road an amazing bike ride. Views of land meeting ocean and clear blue skies, this is a great way to enjoy the day!

Xiamen Shuzhuang Garden

Reviewed By peggyt580 - Singapore, Singapore

This is a beautiful seaside garden. Shuzhuang Garden (Chinese: 菽庄花园) was built in 1913 in the south of Gulangyu Island. Originally a private villa of the prestigious local squire Lin Erjia, Shuzhuang Garden was donated to the country in 1955. The garden was built according to the natural landform in ingenious layout, which creates a charming view of "garden on the sea and the sea in the garden". In tbe garden you can see a rock garden with the 12 Chinese horoscope and Chinesr poem engraved on tbe rock. From the guide introduction, i came to know that the owner built this garden exactly to the one that he has in his hometown. He must have missed his home. This is really a tranquail place. You can sit on the bench and admire the fishes and surrounding.

Nanputuo Temple

Reviewed By 843KarinH843 - Shenzhen, China

Unfortunately when we visited there, it was partially under renovation, so some house have been closed for visitors. Also the access to the botanical garden was closed I’m not sure if this is because of COVID-19. A few years back when I visited the temple the first time the gate was open. I like this temple because it’s not over crowded and also the decoration is a mix between the traditional Chinese decor and a modern touch. I find it calming to go there, but in these days there is a lot of entrances procedure with health code and showing the passport.

Stroll down the street for a lazy Sunday stroll. The road is so clean and shops nearly laid out. Fulfilled my craving for Hokkien dishes like oyster omelette, fried Mee Sua and other local delicacies. There are many indoor eateries with a wide variety of fresh seafood. After trying the first outlet there were more along the way. Great ambiance.
