Enjoy a Weekend in "Mulan's Hometown"
Xiamen is an idyllic destination which you should not miss for a weekend trip, especially if you live in the south of China.
This 3-day relaxing Xiamen and tulou (Hakka earthen strongholds) tour provides an opportunity to see the best sights in and near Xiamen in a short amount of time. No need to research which tulou cluster is worthy of a visit for authentic Hakka culture. Don't worry about the tourist crowds on popular Gulangyu Island. We have selected the best tulou clusters and designed an off-the-beaten-path route for you to have an authentic travel experience.
Tour 'Wow' Points
Explore Mulan's Movie Home
See a real earthen building that's so similar to Mulan's home that you'll think you're in the movie. Be invited by Hakka people into the living room of their earthen building. They'll show you the upstairs floor, which is not allowed in most of the other earthen buildings.


Feel the History and Artistic Temperament of Gulangyu Island
Get off the recurrent route that most tourists take. Discover the villa where Mr. Chiang Kai-shek once lived, listen to beautiful organ music, and enjoy a bird's eye view of the island from a viewpoint with few tourists.

Beijing Great Wall and Forbidden City tour
![]() We had a great experience with the Great Wall and Forbidden City tour. Our guide, Kevin - was very patient and knowledgeable. The Great Wall was an amazing sight, we were able to walk for about 30 minutes on this tourist-oriented section of the Wall; we were fortunate that the weather was misty and rainy- most days during the summer are very hot and humid. After a lunch nearby, we went on a tour of the Forbidden City; The former palace is a huge area full of history. I highly recommend this tour. more

Hike on the great wall
![]() We booked a hike through Best China Journey, where we hiked an unrestored part of the Great Wall. Our tour guide, Oliver, was very nice and shared a lot of history along the way. The hike was about four hours long and took us through various terrain. It was very beautiful. more
