Our professional and courteous drivers will pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned coach and take you on an unforgettable journey to explore the beauty of Xiamen.

**Attractions:**

- **Lu Dao Golden Coast Beach Experience**: Embark on a 30-minute adventure at the coastal mudflats where you can roll up your sleeves and join seasoned fishermen in the thrill of beach combing. With specially designed tools, you'll catch fish and shrimp, dig for clams, and collect seashells, all under the guidance of local experts. Experience the excitement of crab trapping with a custom-made trap, and let the tides determine your catch. For a more hands-on approach, rent a shovel and bucket for a personalized treasure hunt on the shore.

- **Train Cage Seafood Catching**: Rekindle childhood memories of fishing and shrimping, and immerse yourself in the joy of a bountiful catch while learning about marine life.

- **Beach Golf**: Challenge the misconceptions of golf as an elitist sport by playing this relaxed version on the sandy beaches, embracing the freedom and fun of the game.

- **Beach Volleyball**: Witness the only Olympic sport played on sand, combining competitive sports, tourism, and entertainment, with its fast-paced, suspenseful nature and high physical demands.

- **Beach Kite Flying**: Unleash your creativity with DIY kites, painting them in vibrant colors of your choice, and let your dreams soar high in the sky.

- **Crab Racing**: Engage in a fun and competitive crab race with the crabs you've caught, a unique blend of entertainment and sport.

Indulge in the ultimate RV experience and let your photography skills shine at the in-camp wedding photography base, capturing stunning frames that will make you the envy of your social circle.

- **Sailing Experience**: Once a symbol of high society, sailing is now accessible to all in Xiamen. Embark on a 30-minute sailing adventure to experience the unique charm of the sea. (Please remember to bring a valid ID for boarding.)

- **Shapowei, the Artistic Haven**: As the birthplace of Xiamen Port, Sha Powei has served as a sheltered harbor since the Qing Dynasty. Adjacent to the Nanputuo Temple and Xiamen University, its name comes from being the end of a large stretch of beach where sand from all directions accumulates, earning it the nickname "Jade Sand Slope."

- **Yanwu Bridge Viewing Platform for the Most Beautiful Sunset**: The platform, consistent with the pristine white fish-belly style of the Yanwu Bridge, spans over 10,000 square meters and gently extends into the Xiamen Bay. With the azure sea and sky as a backdrop, you can enjoy views of the ferry, Haicang, Gulangyu, and Zhangzhou Port, and listen to the waves against the rock walls. As the sea breeze gently blows and the evening glow fills the sky, witness the most enchanting sunset in Xiamen.

Note: Due to the online booking of Gulangyu ferry tickets, group entry and exit are required, and tickets cannot be refunded or rescheduled. The ferry ticket entry and exit times are subject to the actual purchased tickets. Gulangyu Island has a visitor limit, and ferry tickets need to be booked in advance.

Enjoy a full day of leisure at your own pace on Gulangyu Island, where you can stay at a cozy inn without the need for a vehicle or a guide. Please note that breakfast is not included at the inn, and the return ferry fee of 18 RMB per person is at your own expense. After breakfast at your hotel, you are free to explore the city as you wish, with no set itinerary.

Awaken to the gentle call of the day and indulge in the freedom to do as you please. For a taste of the local cuisine, venture to the historic Minzu Road in Xiamen and savor the city's most famous dish, the tantalizing Wutang Satay Noodles.

Continue your journey to the Coffee Street, nestled in the villa area beside the picturesque Yandu Lake in Xiamen. Here, businesses have transformed the area into a vibrant coffee district, also known as "Xitou Coffee Street." Marvel at the array of luxury cars lining the streets and observe the diverse crowd of locals, tourists, and expatriates, all basking in the warm sun, enjoying the gentle lake breeze, and immersing themselves in a state of relaxed contemplation as they while away the hours until the sun sets in the west.

Enjoy a leisurely morning, waking up naturally, but do remember to savor the breakfast before it's time to depart. Coordinate with your designated driver to meet at the agreed-upon time, ensuring a direct and hassle-free transfer to the airport. (Please be mindful that check-out time must be before 12 PM; any delay may incur additional charges. As only the driver will be assisting with the airport transfer, guests will need to handle their own boarding pass procedures.)

Warm reminder: It is imperative to vacate your room by 12 PM to avoid incurring extra costs. Should your return flight be scheduled for later in the day, you have the convenience of leaving your luggage at the hotel's front desk for safekeeping.
