5-Day Xiamen & Fujian Tulou Tour

Xiamen - Nanjing Tulou - Xiamen

Private planning around your dates and interests
5 DAYS / 4 NIGHTS · JIANGNAN & COASTAL JOURNEYS

Coastal lanes and the earth buildings of rural Fujian

Balance coastal city time with the distinctive communal architecture of the Fujian countryside. A full day is reserved for Gulangyu, while an overnight in the tulou region avoids turning the earth-building visit into a long out-and-back day. The final night in Xiamen protects your onward connection and leaves the pace comfortable. Compare this itinerary with our wider collection of China tours.

Transfer to your hotel and rest after the journey. A waterfront or Zhongshan Road walk can be suggested if you arrive early. The first afternoon remains flexible around flight or rail timing.

Take the confirmed ferry to Gulangyu and explore selected lanes, historic exteriors and coastal viewpoints on foot. Your guide plans a manageable route and return sailing. Large luggage stays at the Xiamen hotel, and ticketed interiors are agreed in advance.

Traditional Fujian tulou architecture

Travel by road into the Nanjing tulou area and visit a selected cluster such as Tianluokeng. Learn about the buildings’ communal layout while respecting residents’ private space. Stay near the rural sights rather than driving back to Xiamen that evening.

Enjoy another carefully selected village or earth-building visit before returning to Xiamen. The route avoids trying to cover all tulou areas in one morning. Check into your city hotel and enjoy a relaxed final evening.

Transfer to Xiamen airport or railway station with the agreed margin. A short city outing is possible only with a later departure and confirmed timing. Extra coastal days can be added if you want a slower finish.
