You'll have a 30-minute rest in the vehicle before heading to Nanputuo Temple, Xiamen's next attraction, which boasts famous Buddhist relics.

Next up is Hulishan Fortress, Xiamen's third spot. Built in 1891, it blends styles from the Ming and Qing dynasties. You can touch and even stand on the well-preserved ancient military facilities, such as gates, walls, fortresses, barracks, castles, trenches, and fortifications.

After leaving Hulishan Fortress Park, you'll take a leisurely stroll along the famous Huandao Beach, the final highlight of your Xiamen trip. Enjoy the captivating sea views and gentle breeze as your day of sightseeing concludes. You'll then be driven back to your hotel or any other destination within Siming District and Huli District of Xiamen.
