Things to do in Xiamen, Fujian: The Best Historic Sites
The livable, lovable city of Xiamen teems with university students buzzing amid Buddhist temples, art galleries and beautiful parks. The city is actually comprised of islands; one of which, Gulangyu, is a peaceful bohemian oasis that's completely vehicle-free. Nibble on some glass noodles or juicy dumplings while perusing shops stuffed with antiques, delicate beads or ceramics.

Besides Gulangyu Island, this is another popular attraction, hence expect tour groups and the crowd. When I visited on Saturday morning around 10 am, the entrance display panel showed as of that day, 876 had visited this place and 378 visitors were inside then. The highest recorded in a single day is 26,100. Such is the advantage of visiting during low peak season. The main attraction is the 280 mm Krupp Cannon, which is well preserved. Near the main artillery is a huge panel depicting the history of this fort. On top of the fortress, there is a viewing platform of the surrounding Xiamen and coast. There is also a square on the further side of the compound, with 2 demonstrations at 10am and 4pm daily. There are English signs and explanations throughout the compound. I spent an hour leisurely exploring this place, with some time waiting for the tour groups to leave for better photo shoots. Overall, recommended to visit this place. For transportation, I took bus no. 29 along Lujiang Road, in front of Xiamen Ferry Terminal. Bus fare within Xiamen is flat rate 1 rmb, journey about 20 mins.
