Arrival in Xiamen: Airport/Station Pickup Service + Gulangyu Island
Hello and welcome to Xiamen, the famous coastal city of Fujian Province, China, known for "embracing both mountains and sea, blending East and West." Our driver will greet you at the airport/train station exit and take you to our carefully selected hotel to check in. After a short rest, you will be taken to the port pier and take a 20-minute ferry to Gulangyu. Gulangyu is one of the most beautiful islands in Xiamen, Fujian. In 2017, it was inscribed on the World Heritage List as a "historic international settlement," and it is one of the must-see destinations when traveling in Fujian. The island has 931 surviving historic buildings in a blend of Chinese and Western styles, covering Gothic churches, Baroque consulates, Minnan red-brick ancient houses, and more, earning it the name "International Architecture Expo." The island also has China's highest per capita piano ownership rate, China's first piano museum and the world's largest organ museum, and has produced many internationally renowned musicians, earning it the titles "Island of Music" and "Island of Pianos." In addition, motor vehicles are prohibited across the island, adding to its tranquil atmosphere. You can leisurely stroll and enjoy the picturesque island scenery, fully savoring the elegant charm of the "Garden on the Sea." For today's visit to Gulangyu, we offer a route: Cultural and Historical Architecture Tour (about 4 to 5 hours): taking you to see old buildings of strikingly different styles and learn the historical stories behind them.

Xiamen to Nanjing Tulou Day Tour: Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster + Yuchang Lou + Hekeng Tulou Cluster + Taxia Village
This morning, you will depart from Xiamen and drive about 150 kilometers (about 2.5 hours) to visit the Nanjing Tulou. There are over 15,000 surviving tulou in Nanjing, which are a typical representative of Fujian Hakka tulou and a treasure of Chinese residential architecture, known as "the world's unique mountain village dwellings." Among them, the Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster, the Hekeng Tulou Cluster, Huaiyuan Lou, and Hegui Lou were inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2008. Upon arrival, first visit the Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster. First built in 1662, it is the settlement of the Huang clan of Hakka people. It is famous for its unique layout resembling "four dishes and one soup," making it the most recognizable landscape of Fujian tulou. It consists of 1 square building (Buyun Lou), 3 circular buildings (Hechang Lou, Zhenchang Lou, Ruiyun Lou), and 1 oval building (Wenchang Lou). These five tulou follow the layout of the mutual generation of the Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), and are praised as a "world architectural marvel" and an "outstanding representative of Chinese feng shui architecture." Recommended visiting route: Upper Viewing Platform (overlook the panorama of "four dishes and one soup," resembling "plum blossoms blooming" or "a flying saucer landing") → Buyun Lou (meaning "rising in the world," where you can overlook the daily life of the Hakka clan) → Hechang Lou/Zhenchang Lou/Ruiyun Lou (you can photograph the same courtyard perspective as in the movie "Big Fish & Begonia") → Wenchang Lou (the only oval tulou in Nanjing, meaning "flourishing literary fortune," where you can photograph the beautiful scene of tulou blending with terraced fields) → Lower Viewing Platform (look up at the tulou cluster and terraced fields, resembling the "Potala Palace") Lunch will feature delicious Hakka cuisine, allowing you to experience the local Hakka lifestyle. If interested, you can also try the mellow Hakka rice wine. After lunch, head to Xiaban (Xiaban) Village, where streams flow through and terraced fields surround it. Twelve ancient tulou are scattered along both banks of the stream. Among them, Yuchang Lou is the key tulou we will visit. Built in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties (around 1308–1368), Yuchang Lou is one of the oldest surviving circular tulou in China and is hailed as the "Father of Fujian Tulou." It is also known for the pillars on the 3rd and 4th floors tilting 15° clockwise while those on the 5th floor tilt counterclockwise, creating the "leaning east and west" wonder. After more than 700 years of wind and rain, it remains stable and is called "China's No. 1 Marvelous Building." You can stroll through and admire the architectural wonder of "leaning east and west," observe the daily life of the Hakka people in the tulou up close, or chat with the Hakka residents to learn more fascinating tulou stories and unique folk culture. In addition, remember to taste a cup of oolong tea brewed by the locals—it is very sweet and refreshing. Afterward, head to the Hekeng Tulou Cluster. The Hekeng Tulou Cluster is one of the most densely concentrated World Cultural Heritage sites among Fujian tulou, famous for its unique "Big Dipper" layout and the architectural wonder of square and circular tulou interwoven. Among them, Chaoshui Lou (built during the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty, the oldest square tulou) and Yuxing Lou (a modern circular tulou) are highly representative and well worth seeing. In addition, you can climb the Shizishan Viewing Platform to overlook the panorama of the "Big Dipper" and take the most outstanding travel photos. Notably, the Hekeng Tulou Cluster is also the inspiration and prototype filming location for Mulan's hometown in Disney's live-action film "Mulan." If interested, you can check in at the same scenes from the movie. Then, head to the ancient Hakka village of Taxia Village. Taxia Village is distributed along the stream in an "S" shape, with two circular tulou (Yude Lou and Shunchang Lou) on either side of the stream, resembling a taiji pattern, hence the name "Taiji Water Village." In addition, its picturesque environment, excellent air and spring water, and the healthy lifestyle of the villagers have earned it the reputation of a "Longevity Village." Moreover, 11 concrete bridges and some tulou in the village were funded and built by overseas Chinese, giving it a strong overseas Chinese hometown character. You can stroll and admire the picturesque ancient village scenery and the varied tulou architecture, among which Yude Lou (Weiqun Lou) and Deyuantang Zhang Clan Ancestral Hall (China's most complete group of 24 stone dragon flagpoles) are worth careful appreciation. Overnight stay in Taxia Village. Notes 1. To visit the Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster, you can choose to walk or take a sightseeing bus. 2. Hekeng Tulou Cluster: after getting off at the entrance, you need to walk about 15 minutes to reach the main tulou buildings. 3. If you go to Taxia Village in autumn, you can see Hakka people drying persimmons outside the tulou, and the whole village is filled with the sweet fragrance of persimmons. 4. If you are interested in oolong tea, you can contact our customer service in advance, and we can take you to a local tea garden near Taxia Village to experience tea picking. 5. The Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster and Chuxi Tulou Cluster are both great places to view terraced fields and take beautiful photos. 6. In autumn, you can take this rare opportunity to pick fresh local fruit and even try some farm work.

Nanjing to Yongding Tulou Day Tour: Gaobei Tulou Cluster + Chuxi Tulou Cluster
This morning, you will depart from Nanjing Tulou and drive about 10 kilometers (about 20 minutes) to Yongding Tulou. Yongding has more than 23,000 existing Hakka tulou, far exceeding Nanjing Tulou in scale and number, ranking first in Fujian. It is the largest and oldest tulou cluster in China and even the world, known as the "Hometown of Tulou" and "Pearl of Eastern Architecture," and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2008 as the main part of Fujian Tulou. In addition, you will have the chance to explore filming locations of the popular Chinese film Big Fish & Begonia, such as Chengqi Lou, the home of Chun. In the morning, first visit the Gaobei Tulou Cluster, known as the "Tulou King Scenic Area." This has been the settlement of the Jiang family since the Yuan Dynasty, one of the most representative tulou clusters in Yongding, Fujian, and a living museum of Hakka culture and architectural aesthetics. Among them, Chengqi Lou (first built during the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty, taking 81 years to complete, 73 meters in diameter, containing 400 rooms, known as the "Tulou King," once featured on a Chinese residential stamp, and the prototype of the "Divine Enclosure" in Big Fish & Begonia), Wuyun Lou (built during the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty, the oldest surviving tulou of the Jiang family; its wall leans 1.5 meters yet has stood for a century, so it is also called the "Unfallen Tower"), Shize Lou (a square tulou, with the typical Hakka communal layout of "one gate, two wells, three halls, four staircases"), and Qiaofu Lou (its ancestral hall is in a Chinese-Western architectural style, and because the family produced 11 PhDs it is called the "PhD Tower") are the essence of the Gaobei Tulou Cluster and worth careful appreciation. Excellent Photography Spots in the Gaobei Tulou Cluster 1. The spectacle of "square and round in a single line of sky" formed by the square Shize Lou and the round Chengqi Lou 2. The panoramic scenery beside the rice fields outside Chengqi Lou, with an even better atmosphere in the early morning or evening 3. Framing Chengqi Lou through the doorway of Shize Lou to photograph the geometric aesthetic of "a circle within a square" 4. The lantern night view of Qiaofu Lou, very suitable for warm-toned light and shadow photography. In the afternoon, drive to Chuxi Tulou Cluster, the most primitive and most Hakka-culturally rich tulou cluster in Yongding, Fujian. Surrounded by mountains and water, terraced fields, and flowing streams, it is known as "China's most beautiful tulou cluster," with different charms in all four seasons. In March and April, you can enjoy golden rapeseed flower fields and charming spring tulou scenery; in September and October, you can enjoy intoxicating autumn harvest scenery. Among them, Jiqing Lou (built in 1419, one of the oldest surviving round tulou in Yongding, built entirely without a single iron nail using pure wooden mortise-and-tenon structure, with a unique design of 72 staircases), Shanqing Lou (donated by overseas Chinese in 1979, its white exterior walls stand out uniquely among the tulou cluster, and it is a rare single-ring round tulou with no interior buildings), Gengqing Lou (built in 1849, only 33 meters in diameter and 3 stories high, with three rammed-earth partition walls as a major feature), and Shengqing Lou (a square tulou composed of two square tulou, one inside and one outside) are the most representative tulou buildings in the Chuxi Tulou Cluster, allowing you to enjoy the tulou scenery of "three round and one square." In addition, you can climb the viewing platform to overlook the full panorama of round, rectangular, square, and hexagonal tulou clusters surrounded by terraced fields. Morning mist or sunset is the best time for photography, and the scenery is best in autumn when the rice waves turn golden. After the tour, return to Xiamen (about 3 hours) to check in at your hotel and rest.

Xiamen to Xiapu Tour: Nanputuo Temple + Zhongshan Road + Island Ring Road + Sunset at Xiaohao Village
Early this morning, you can visit Nanputuo Temple, known as the "Buddhist holy site of Minnan," and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere before the crowds arrive. Nanputuo Temple was first built in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, with a history of over a thousand years. It is one of Fujian's most famous temples, the birthplace of the Minnan Buddhist Academy, and one of China's four major Guanyin pilgrimage sites. Influenced by Minnan overseas Chinese culture, it is highly favored in Southeast Asia. There is even a folk legend of blessing: "Walk to Nanputuo for one year, avoid suffering for three years." Incense burns all year round. You can stroll and admire the serene temple scenery, check in at the Great Compassion Hall (a model of Minnan Buddhist architectural art, with red bricks, glazed tiles, and octagonal triple eaves being the most exquisite), the Sutra Library (housing a Ming Wanli blood-written Lotus Sutra), and other magnificent and exquisite Buddhist buildings. If interested, you can also experience Nanputuo Temple's famous vegetarian cuisine or taste traditional handmade vegetarian cakes. Then, you can stroll along Zhongshan Road, Xiamen's most representative century-old street, and experience the rich old Xiamen charm. Zhongshan Road is China's only commercial pedestrian street that directly leads to the sea. The street retains a large number of complete Nanyang arcade buildings and historical relics, known as the "living fossil of modern Xiamen history." Here, you can immersively admire the ancient Nanyang architecture, taste authentic specialty snacks, and watch wonderful intangible cultural heritage performances such as Nanyin and puppet shows. Alternatively, you can walk into the alleys near Zhongshan Road to explore local life in Xiamen and taste Minnan-style foods such as satay noodles and oyster omelets. Seafood is a highlight of Xiamen cuisine. You can visit the nearby Eighth Seafood Market, see uncommon seafood varieties, and taste local seafood. (PS: If you decide to dine at the Eighth Market, be sure to negotiate prices before purchasing seafood to avoid any misunderstandings.) Afterward, you can leisurely drive along the Island Ring Road, known as one of "China's most beautiful coastlines," and enjoy the picturesque sea highway scenery. Along the way, you can take in the subtropical coastal scenery of "blue sea and golden sand reflecting the red road, palm flower seas accompanying sculptures." If you want to fully enjoy the charming island scenery, you can stop and slowly appreciate places such as Yefengzhai (one of Xiamen's iconic seaside attractions, with a distant view of Kinmen Island), Baicheng Beach (in the evening, you can photograph the Twin Towers and the orange sea in the same frame), Huangcuo Beach (Xiamen's best sunrise viewing spot), and Zengcuoan (China's most artistic fishing village). In the afternoon, you will head to Xiamen Railway Station and take a high-speed train (about 2.5-4 hours) to Xiapu, known as "China's most beautiful mudflat." Our driver will meet you at the Xiapu Railway Station exit and escort you to our carefully selected hotel for check-in. Today, our professional guide will arrange the most suitable photography locations for you based on actual weather and tide conditions. This afternoon, you will go to Xiaohao Village, about 20 kilometers from Xiapu County, for photography. Xiaohao Village is one of the best representatives of Xiapu's mudflat scenery and an excellent spot for sunset shots. Its sandy mudflats, under tidal washing and light refraction, create a colorful "neon" effect, called "flowing oil painting" by the photography world. It has different light and shadow changes throughout the year, and the sunset scene of mudflats reflecting rosy clouds is listed by National Geographic as a classic shooting location. This is also the main scenery we will photograph today. In addition, you may capture mudflat textures under front and backlighting, fishermen at work, and marine aquaculture scenes. Xiaohao Village Sunset Photography Tips 1. Shooting location: Climb to the top of the hill along the dirt road to capture breathtaking panoramic sunset views, overlooking the mudflats, fishing boats, and distant mountains; if lucky, you can also capture flocks of egrets in flight. 2. Best months: March to May and September to October are the golden periods for photography in Xiaohao Village, Xiapu. Spring has soft light and shadow, while autumn is clear with few clouds. 3. Shooting tips: Wide-angle (16-35mm) is suitable for panoramas; medium telephoto (80-200mm) is suitable for fishermen at work or local textures; long telephoto (200-400mm) can compress the layers of fishing boats, mudflats, and distant mountains, highlighting geometric lines. In addition, when the tide recedes to half-dry, the lines of seaweed farming poles and winding water channels on the mudflats are most beautiful. After sunset, you can leisurely stroll along the Light and Shadow Boardwalk, enjoying the intoxicating flowing blue-toned light and shadow on the mudflats, and the magical spectacle of fishing lights interwoven with evening glow. Then, head to Yugongting Beach to enjoy the silhouette of fishing boats under the molten gold sunset, the scattered reef and mudflat light and shadow, and the pristine sea view of mirror-like sand traces and clear seawater after the tide recedes.

Xiapu Photography Tour: Sunrise at Huazhu Village + Yangjiaxi Banyan and Maple Park + Nanwan Oracle Bone Inscriptions + Sunset at Xiaqingshan Grand Bridge
Huazhu Village morning photography highlights: sunrise over the sea, Fuyao Archipelago, strange rocks and boulders, seaweed farming scenes (mostly autumn and winter) Early this morning, get up early and head to Huazhu Village, about 34 kilometers from Xiapu County, to capture the beautiful sunrise. Huazhu Village is the filming location used by China Central Television many times for live broadcasts of the "first ray of sunshine" on New Year's Day/National Day, and is known as "China's landmark for watching the sun." At sunrise, the sea surface sparkles with golden light, and the Fuyao Archipelago appears indistinct in the morning mist, like a mirage, earning it the reputation of a "fairyland of sunrise over the sea." Standing there, you can photograph the stunning sunrise over the sea, the silhouettes of the Fuyao Archipelago, the light and shadow of fishing rafts, and other multi-layered mountain-and-sea scenery. Huazhu Village sunrise photography tips 1. Shooting locations: Viewing Platform No. 1 can fully capture the panorama of the Fuyao Archipelago and the sunrise over the sea, and is also the place where CCTV has broadcast the "first ray of sunshine of the New Year" many times; Viewing Platform No. 2 can shoot downward at the flowing advection fog and the wonder of "Jesus rays" piercing the clouds, with a higher chance of capture in spring. 2. Best months: Huazhu Village can be photographed year-round, but September to March of the following year is the best shooting period. At this time there are fewer clouds, mostly clear weather, less morning fog, and the sunrise scenery is the most stable, allowing you to capture richly layered morning glow; if you want to photograph the seaweed cultural landscape with the most beautiful geometric lines, November to February of the following year is best. 3. Shooting tips: A wide-angle lens can capture the multi-layered sunrise panorama, taking in broad scenes such as foreground buoy bamboo poles, midground fishing raft wooden houses, and distant island silhouettes; a telephoto lens can capture fishing raft light spots, the geometric patterns of buoy bamboo poles, and the "broken gold spreading over the sea" scene after sunrise; a slow shutter can capture the moving trails of fishing boats in the morning mist; time-lapse photography can capture the gradual changes in sunrise light and color. Afterward, head to Yangjiaxi Banyan and Maple Park, praised as a "paradise of the sea country." This is the northernmost ancient banyan grove in the world and one of China's five great places for viewing red leaves, known as "Fujian's most beautiful ancient tree grove" and "China's No. 1 staged photography destination." During the morning mist, you can capture the enchanting "Jesus rays" formed by sunlight piercing through the banyan trees, and also photograph cultural scenes such as "farmer leading an ox" and "She woman carrying water." (PS: The ox-leading elderly man and She ethnic women are paid scenes coordinated by local villagers for photography, which can be experienced at your own expense.) In the afternoon, head to the Nanwan Oracle Bone Script shooting location. The Nanwan Oracle Bone Script is a unique landform on the tidal flats of Nanwan Village, Yantian Town, Xiapu, Fujian. Because fishermen built cofferdams and dikes for farming razor clams and other shellfish, these artificial structures have formed rough, bold, and intricately crisscrossing line patterns under tidal erosion. They are known as the "sea maze" and "sea oracle bone script," and contrast beautifully with the nearby colorful nets originally used for crab farming. It is a uniquely distinctive natural and cultural landscape of Xiapu's tidal flats and is praised as "the first of China's ten most beautiful scenery photography holy sites." Afterward, head to Xiaqingshan Grand Bridge to enjoy the unique scenery of a fishing village on the sea and the magnificent wonder of sunset, and experience "sea Gypsy" culture. This is one of the photography holy sites along the coast of eastern Fujian, China, known as the "Venice of the Sea photography destination." You can photograph the intoxicating fishing raft matrix, the life of boat-dwelling families, sunrise and sunset light and shadow, and tide-limited landscapes. After the tour, return to the hotel to rest.

Xiapu Photography Tour: Sunrise at Weijiang Village + Banyueli She Ethnic Village + Dong'an Fishing Rafts + Shajiang S-Bend + Sunset at Dongbi
This morning, rise early and head to Weijiang Village, known as the "Chinese version of Sri Lanka," to capture the enchanting sunrise spectacle. Weijiang Village is a coastal fishing village with more than 400 years of history. Offshore from the village is an isolated island shaped like a steamed bun, called "Mantou Mountain" by the locals. At low tide, a natural channel about 600 meters long is exposed on the tidal flat connecting it to the land, resembling the handle of a strainer when viewed from afar, hence it is also called "Zhaoli Islet." It is the landmark landscape of Weijiang Village. Tips for photographing the sunrise at Weijiang Village 1. Highlights: sunrise light and shadow on Mantou Mountain, pastoral scenery on the sea, tidal flat textures, fishermen at work (harvesting kelp, sorting fishing nets, etc.). 2. Shooting locations: the Mantou Mountain Viewing Platform allows you to shoot a panorama of Mantou Mountain from above—like a floating island at high tide, and after low tide the exposed tidal flat presents a unique "top hat" landform; the tidal flat area around Mantou Mountain is ideal for photographing breathtaking tidal flat scenery and geometric lines. Afterward, head to Ban Yueli Village, a Chinese ethnic minority characteristic village. Ban Yueli Village is a She ethnic ancient village with more than 300 years of history. It preserves many well-kept She ancient architectural complexes, such as Longxi Palace (the only temple in a She village that simultaneously enshrines a She military general and the sea goddess Mazu), Juren Mansion (the residence of the Qing Daoguang-era military juren Lei Shiru, one of the largest ancient residences of the She people in eastern Fujian), and the Lei Clan Ancestral Hall (backing onto "Zhuangyuan Ding" and facing Bijia Mountain, matching the "Wenchang Wuqu" layout). The century-old ancient banyan tree at the village entrance is lush and flourishing, and together with the village's enchanting natural scenery and cultural charm, it is praised as a "world-class photography base." If you are very interested in She culture, you can also put on exquisite She clothing, experience local traditional customs, and take beautiful travel photos. After the visit, head to the Dong'an Fishing Rafts, known as the "Venice of the Sea." This is a "sea-dwelling community" composed of hundreds of thousands of fishing rafts and hundreds of small wooden houses. Viewed from above, it resembles a "sea maze" and is very spectacular. At sunrise and sunset, the fishing rafts and light interweave to create a charming "seaside pastoral scroll." If you happen to meet fishermen, you can also hear them tell the history and culture of the "sea gypsies." In addition, from April to June, you may encounter the "blue tears" spectacle. Afterward, head to Shajiang S Bay, one of China's most beautiful tidal flat landscapes. Here, you can photograph the magnificent S-shaped waterway wonder and poetic pastoral scenery on the sea. During kelp harvest season, bamboo poles are covered with dark brown kelp and working fishing villages dot the scene, making the composition very full; during nori cultivation season, the tidal flats show golden-red or purple gradients, making the colors extremely brilliant—a photographer's paradise. In the evening, head to Dongbi Village, praised as one of "China's most beautiful coastline sunsets," to enjoy the sunset. Dongbi Village faces the sea with mountains behind it and has a broad view. At sunset, the tidal flats, fishing boats, and clouds interweave into a magnificent scene of "molten gold at sunset," while the golden tidal flats of the winter nori cultivation season and the summer "orange sea" tones are especially photogenic. After the tour, return to the hotel to rest.

Xiapu Photography: Sunrise at Beiji Mudflats
Beixi Mudflats Morning Photography Highlights: Stunning Sunrise, Tiger-Skin Patterned Mudflats, Seaweed Rack Light and Shadow, Fishing and Farming Culture This morning, set off early to Beixi Mudflats, hailed as one of "China's Most Beautiful Mudflats," to capture the breathtaking sunrise. Beixi was once listed by Digital Photography among "China's 80 Most Photogenic Places" and is a classic photo spot in Xiapu. At low tide, you can photograph natural textures resembling "tiger-skin patterns" or "the earth's fingerprints," which glow golden-red at sunrise; this is also the location where the photo "Xiapu Scenery" was taken, which was carried into space aboard Shenzhou 9. At high tide, the sea becomes like a mirror, reflecting the morning glow and rows of bamboo poles, with ever-changing light and shadow. In addition, you can capture the light and shadow of seaweed racks and the silhouettes of fishermen at work. Beixi Sunrise Photography Tips 1. Remember to check the sunrise time for the day, as it varies with the seasons. Be sure to arrive at the viewing platform at least 30 minutes early to secure the best shooting spot and wait quietly for the dawn to break. 2. For the ultimate photographic results, using a drone or telephoto camera is recommended. However, even a smartphone can capture the moving scenery of the mudflats before dawn and freeze that uniquely beautiful moment. After the tour, this wonderful and unforgettable 7-day Fujian photography journey will come to an end. Our driver will take you to the train station for your next destination.
