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.

Amazing and Effortless Experience Overall!
![]() China Highlights is totally legit and they planned our visit in Beijing perfectly, they were also great with being flexible to meet our unique needs and timelines, with multiple changes on the fly. Our guide in Beijing, William, was amazing as well! William was friendly, kind, thoughtful, funny, and also was great at keeping us on track timing-wise (as we didn’t make this particularly easy for him lol). Cannot recommend both China Highlights and William to anyone else looking to visit China for the first time! more

A culture of hospitality and smiles
![]() Beijing was prettier and far less crowded than anticipated. Colin aka Po Po, our guide, enhanced the experience with his knowledge and wicked sense of humour. He made every moment special for us.We spent about three days in Beijing and surrounds. China highlights offerings were high quality, including accomodation, car, driver, guide and selection of real local restaurants. Being vegetarian wasn’t an issue at all. Visiting historical quarter of Beijing along with Hutong walk and Confucius Beijing temple were unique experiences- which became more special with Colin’s interest in philosophy and wonderful global perspective. Despite language barriers- we were greeted by scores of locals with genuine smile and curiosity. We shall be back (hopefully with Colin) to explore this wonderful culture. more
