A day dedicated to the highlights of Xiamen City including Gulangyu Island and Nanputuo Temple

Gulangyu is a tiny island located 15 minute ride off the coast of Xiamen. Charming must be the first word that comes to mind when thinking of Gulangyu Island for all have been there. Because there is much more to Gulangyu than white-sandy beaches, leafy seaside promenade, fresh air and beautiful sunrise. The island also boasts large number of heritages including 19th-century European mansions, Piano Museum-the largest in the world and the only one in China, gardens and well-maintained cobbled alleyways, which are vestiges of its former glamor as important port for Sino-European trade.

Nanputuo Temple is an important Buddhist Temple to worship Avalokitesvara,and is also considered a pilgrimage site by dedicated followers from Southeast Asia. Listen to the monks chanting this millennium temple, or just simply enjoy the beautiful scenery with mountains and sea.

Take morning train from Xiamen to Wuyishan. The high speed trains operate frequently and connect these two cities conveniently within 3 hours. On arrival, meet and check in. The afternoon will be a leisure drafting on the Jiuqu Brook. Stay back and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Rafting ride is around two hours and ends at Wuyigong. It is a perfect place to have leisure afternoon walk.
