What to do and see in Fujian, China: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

December 27, 2021 Sheron Bogner

Fujian (Chinese: 福建; pinyin: Fújiàn; pronounced [fǔtɕjɛ̂n] ( listen)), formerly romanised as Foken, Fouken, Fukien, and Hokkien, is a province on the southeast coast of mainland China. Fujian is bordered by three provinces: Zhejiang to the north, Jiangxi to the west and Guangdong to the south, along with Taiwan 150 km to the east, across the Taiwan strait. The name Fujian came from the combination of Fuzhou and Jianzhou (a former name for Jian'ou) two cities in Fujian, during the Tang dynasty. While its population is chiefly of Han origin, it is one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse provinces in China.

Xiamen Piano Museum

Reviewed By Addy_L_22

This is the first time I've visited a museum that houses pianos! The Piano Museum is an attraction located on Gulangyu island. The pianos in the museum all belong to a solo collector,Hu Youyi, who loved pianos so much that he collected them from all over the world. There are two quaint little pianos that were built just for kids under 10 years old! The star piece of the museum is a gorgeous harpsichord that he purchased from Australia. There are about 100 over pianos on display in two buildings. It's worth the visit to see the effort, passion and finances of one man's collection, even though you may not be interested in pianos!

The Londoner Xiamen

A proper juicer in the heart of the foreign community, known not just for great beers and homestyle pies, but also for superb hospitality and commitment to Xiamen's expat folk. A genuinely warm welcome and first rate friendly service, is the hallmark of this fine traditional English-style pub.
