Xiamen is a beautiful coastal
city where people have a slow-paced
life, and it is really a great place
for you to relax during holidays.
Several attractions below are listed
which are worth a visit.
Gulangyu
Located in the southeastern coast of China, gulangyu
is a famous scenery spot of the bustling city
,Xiamen. It is the Gulang Island's sea breezes and
tropical temperatures that attract visitors year
round. Overly crowded beaches and shopping areas are
the only complaints that many visitors seem to have
when they arrive on Gulangyu. It is worth mentioning
that you should try to avoid visiting the popular
island during China's public holidays (especially
May Day and National Day) or on the weekends.
Wuyi
Mountains
Whether you long for hiking, boating, bird watching,
tea estates, waterfalls, cultural heritage sites, or
simply want to explore a beautiful, pollution-free
part of China, the Wuyi Mountain is the best place
you can go to visit. As one of the most
spectacularly beautiful areas of southeastern China,
it is famous for its abundance of deep canyons,
dense forests, waterfalls, animals (many of them
endangered), flora and fauna. It's an idyllic
destination for any nature lover. The Wuyi Mountains
scenic area can be divided into four core parts: the
Nine-Bend River area, Wuyishan National Nature
Reserve, Wuyishan National Scenic Area, and a
special zone that houses important cultural remains
of the Ancient Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD).
Taining's Danxia
Taining's Danxia area is home to some of the most
spectacular caves in the world and one of the six
UNESCO World Heritage China Danxia Landform sites.
Taining Danxia Landform is the only example of
gorge-style, adolescent Danxia landform in China's
subtropical zone, therefore it is of great
significance for charting the geomorphic evolution
of China's Danxia landforms. It has been described
as "where the story of China's Danxia landform
begins". Taining's Danxia ideally combines with
lakes, streams, ponds, and waterfalls, forming a
rare watery Danxia wonderland in China and abroad.
You can take a cruise on Dajin Lake to appreciate
the stunning Danxia landforms. This scenic area is
famous for "Danxia on Water" and waterfalls and
temples can also been seen.
