Fujian Tours
Fujian is the coastal province that most China itineraries skip, and the skip costs them three of the country's most distinctive sights. It holds Gulangyu, the treaty-port island off Xiamen where a thousand colonial villas and a piano in every third house earned it UNESCO World Heritage listing in 2017. It holds the Hakka tulou - the fortified earthen castles of Yongding and Nanjing, listed since 2008, in which whole clans lived for centuries behind five-foot rammed-earth walls. And it holds Wuyishan, the dual natural-and-cultural World Heritage range where the rock oolong tea of Da Hong Pao grows on terraces above the Nine-Bend Stream. Add Quanzhou, the medieval port Marco Polo rated among the world's greatest and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2021, the mudflat photography coast of Xiapu, and the old-lane capital Fuzhou, and the province rewards a week better than most regions reward a fortnight. Xiamen sits on the high-speed network from Shenzhen, Shanghai and Hangzhou, and Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport is one of the 65 ports open to 240-hour visa-free transit. Our private Fujian tours run from two-day tulou escapes to eight-day grand loops, always with a licensed English-speaking guide and a private car.
