Enjoy a river boat trip: You can enjoy a Lu River night cruise, and see the sights along the river while enjoying drinks or something to eat. You can see the city lights, and depending on the route, you'll see Gulangyu Garden, the Yanwu Bridge, and Haicang Bridge, and Xiamen Shipyard. Enjoy Xiamen's river on a warm evening with fresh breezes.

Xiamen was one of China's first special economic zones, and it has a large Taiwanese and foreign presence. Tourists can enjoy the local nightlife, the expat-oriented restaurants that feature good quality food, and the general environmental quality. It is known as one of China's cleanest cities.

See the Danxia Landform Geopark: On the border of Fujian Province and Jiangxi Province, there is a natural park of about 100 square miles in area with eroded sedimentary formations called Danxia. There are many ravines and caves in the area, and some of the caves have prehistoric remains, were inhabited, or were Buddhist or Taoist religious sites. You can see Buddhist imagery and writings, waterfalls, and the rain and river sculpted scenery. The historical remains and natural scenery are listed as a World Heritage site.
