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.

Happy family holiday
![]() we experienced awesome three--day Beijing tour with Colin. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the sites and also added witty humor to keep us entertained as we saw the Tiananmena Suare, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and other sites. The trip was memorable and the service was great. Highly recommend. more

5D4N to Beijing
![]() Was a well planned trip by china highlights with both Yuni and May being very responsive and attentive to our online requests. The local guide (Mark) and driver are both experiemce and helpful too. Help to avoid congested traffic and long q at attractions with well planned timing of setting off daily. Mark is knowledgeable in china history and brief us a lot on their history. He also helps to take many of our memorable pictures for our 25th anniversary. Not to mention also their caring thought of giving us a bouquet of flowers on our anniversary too! Overall, is a good experience in beijing ! more
