Xiamen-My Favourite City


“No place keeps me coming back like this”
Jim Byers, Travel Editor expreses his feeling, which is how incredibly impressive the Hong Kong, China is. In this article, he introduces the attractive aspects of Hong Kong such as  districts, towers, paths,tea shops...
As we know, Hong Kong is a charming city in both of its views and economy. At the same time, I involuntarily think of a similar city that is my favourite city-Xiamen, Fujian, China.


Xiamen located at the southeast coast of China, Xiamen is a tourist city of Fujian Province famous for its attractive seascape. As one of the major seaports since ancient times, Xiamen boasts a wide gulf with deep water but without freezing and silting.


 The name of 'Xiamen' was consequently given, which means 'a gate of China' This is due to the beautiful natural scenery, the fresh air and the clean environment of the city.


Xiamen is an ideal tourist destination for you. It is a typical littoral city with abundant tourist attractions.

A sea tourist line is also available for you to enjoy the amazing scenery of many beautiful small islands around.


Xiamen enjoys convenient transportation. You can go there by air, by train, by coach or by sea. The transportation within the city is also satisfying. Most tourists consider the accommodation in Xiamen, consisting of many star rated hotels, convenient.


Xiamen has plenty of special local products to be added to your shopping list, including various kinds of tealeaves, fruits like sugarcanes, olives and longans as well as sea products such as fish, prawns, crabs, abalones and lancelets


Being the hometown of many overseas Chinese, Xiamen has actually benefited from the contribution of overseas Chinese and its economy has undertaken great advancement. To promote its tourism industry, it has established not only the corresponding infrastructures, but also a great variety of entertainment centers. The folk customs of the minorities, varied local festivals and especially the particular local dishes and snacks are also appealing to visitors.

Xiamen, with distinct oriental culture and southern Fujian features, welcomes you from all over the world.
