Arrival, core touring and departure are shown day by day. Opening hours, named-entry tickets and local conditions may change the order. If anything important needs to change, we discuss it with you.

  1. 01Day 1

    Your guide and driver meet you at the airport. If the actual arrival time and a confirmed ferry leave enough time, visit Gulangyu's car-free lanes and the museum named in your confirmation before returning to the Xiamen hotel. A late arrival starts with the hotel transfer; we agree any revised island visit and its effect on the other stops in writing before booking.

Travel made seamless

Hotels, guides and transfers work together.

Your hotel level, guided days, transfers, route transport and principal admissions are planned together. We check availability for your dates before payment.

01

Stay

Five nights with breakfast in four-star-standard hotels, based on two sharing a room: two in Xiamen and one each in Nanjing, Anxi and Quanzhou. You get the exact hotels and room types in writing; the published single supplement is USD 380.

02

Guide, transport and admissions

The tour includes a private English-speaking guide, private driver and air-conditioned vehicle, airport transfers, all listed admissions, the Gulangyu ferry, the Anxi tea visit and tasting, breakfasts and the four lunches named on Days 2–5.

Before you choose

Is Gulangyu guaranteed on arrival day?

No. We check your actual Xiamen arrival, time to leave the airport and an available ferry before fixing Day 1. If the ferry does not fit, we discuss a later island visit or a lighter arrival day. Moving the visit may require removing or changing another stop; the final sequence and inclusions are confirmed in writing before booking.

Clear before payment

What is separate—and what your written quote will confirm.

The published 2- and 6-traveller per-person starting prices use twin sharing. We confirm the exact total before payment; any single-room supplement is separate. Each published amount is a per-person starting price for the stated group size and base scope; unlisted group sizes are on request. Send dates, rooming, arrival details and luggage count. We will confirm hotels, transport, guide coverage, seasonal supplements and the final total in writing before payment.

Not included

  • International flights and any transport not named in the written confirmation
  • Lunches, dinners and drinks unless a specific meal is listed
  • Comprehensive international travel insurance, visas, tips and personal expenses
  • Single-room supplements, room upgrades and holiday surcharges
  • Activities or extra service added after confirmation
  • Unlisted tulou interiors and optional experiences
  • Meals not named in the final itinerary

Confirmed in writing

  • Your dates, arrival and departure details
  • The hotel, room arrangement and vehicle for the actual group
  • Bookable admissions and the final total before payment
