From the Ocean Science Museum, stroll 8 minutes to Bai Cheng Beach for coastal relaxation. Alternatively, take the campus shuttle or rent an e-bike to reach Furong Tunnel in under 3 minutes—lined with vibrant graffiti and shade trees. For Nanputuo Temple, take Metro Line 2 (Xiamen University South Gate Station), just 10 minutes away. The area features smart navigation systems with multilingual digital guides, enhancing your exploration experience.

Join hands-on marine science workshops hosted by Xiamen University students, including coral reef simulations and intertidal zone biodiversity hikes—perfect for families and teens. Weekends feature university history lectures at the campus auditorium, diving into the institution’s century-long legacy. The museum plaza often hosts ocean-themed art markets with local artisans and marine conservation groups, offering unique souvenirs like handmade seashell crafts and indigo-dyed textiles—where science meets creativity.

Some nearby hotels, such as Xiamen University International Youth Hostel and Bai Cheng Seaview Apartments, provide limited complimentary parking spaces, but availability is tight—reservations are strongly advised. For self-drivers, use the university’s smart parking app to check real-time spots and pay via mobile. However, we recommend taking Metro Line 2 to "Xiamen University South Gate Station"—just 10 minutes’ walk to the museum—to avoid traffic and enjoy eco-friendly travel.

Try Bai Cheng Family Sea View Homestay, featuring a kids’ play area, ocean-themed rooms, and interactive craft sessions. Hosts, all Xiamen University education graduates, design fun learning activities like "Junior Scientist Adventure Days," teaching children about reef ecosystems. Morning yoga and beach runs are also offered daily, fostering bonding between parents and kids. Just 500 meters from the museum, this safe, convenient option is perfect for family travelers.

The Ocean Science Museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00–17:00 (last entry at 16:00), closed Mondays for maintenance. Admission is free, but advance HopeGoo via the official mini-program "Xiamen University Museum" is required—each session capped at 150 visitors for quality control. Facilities include ramps and wheelchair rentals, plus multilingual AI guide robots supporting Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. Visit early morning (before 10:00) to avoid crowds and fully appreciate exhibits like deep-sea submersibles and rare marine specimens.

Stay at boutique guesthouses along Fuyu Tunnel, just a 5-minute walk from the museum, offering serene ambiance and sea-view rooms with panoramic views of Xiamen Harbor. For a more luxurious option, choose heritage-style inns on Gulangyu Island, accessible via a 10-minute ferry ride. These accommodations blend traditional Minnan architecture with modern comforts, ideal for travelers seeking cultural immersion and easy access to university research sites.

Use Xiamen’s public bus network or shared bicycles for quick access to nearby attractions. A 10-minute ride leads to Sapowei Art Zone, where contemporary art meets historic alleyways. To reach Gulangyu Island, take a short bus ride to the pier or use the metro (Line 1, Zhenhai Road Station) for direct access to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street and Cen Cuo An village, perfect for day trips and local shopping.

Join the University’s open lab days featuring hands-on activities like coral reef observation and plankton sampling. The museum’s interactive science exhibit hall uses immersive projections and touchscreens to explore marine ecosystems. Don’t miss the night tide pool expedition, guided by experts through the Xiamen Bay intertidal zone, where you can observe octopuses, sea stars, and sea urchins in their natural habitat.

Start with a visit to the Marine Science Museum to explore China’s South China Sea research history. Then head to Nanputuo Temple for tea tasting and temple architecture appreciation. Enjoy lunch at Cen Cuo An, savoring local favorites like sha cha mien and oyster pancakes. Afternoon walks along Yanwu Avenue offer stunning views of red-brick campus buildings and White City Beach. End the day with a coastal bike ride along Huan Dao Road, then stay overnight in a restored colonial villa on Gulangyu Island for a seamless blend of heritage and modern design.

Absolutely! Fuyu Tunnel is a must-visit, adorned with vibrant student graffiti creating a dynamic art corridor. The Bodhi tree path in front of Nanputuo Temple offers tranquil, spiritual photography opportunities with golden rooftops. The blue cottages and white lighthouse along the seawall create dreamy coastal backdrops—especially breathtaking during sunset when the water mirrors sky and architecture perfectly.

Must-try dishes include charcoal-grilled grouper and steamed clams with garlic from the university’s seafood stalls, sourced daily from Xiamen Harbor. At Cen Cuo An, sample Ajizi peanut soup and Zhaoji’s sea snail pastry. For a unique experience, visit the marine-themed innovation restaurant near the museum, serving creative dishes like kelp stew with chicken and seaweed dessert, highlighting local marine ingredients with culinary flair.

Lujiang Mega Hotel

Stayed at Lujiang Mega Hotel during New Year's in Xiamen and was completely blown away by the experience. The location is unbeatable—right next to Zhenzhu Bay Beach, perfect for families with kids who love digging in the sand and enjoying the sea breeze on a bike ride. The views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. Staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive—always smiling, ready to help, and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, and they even included a complimentary afternoon tea, which was such a nice surprise. The outdoor pool and dedicated family-friendly activity space made it ideal for both relaxation and fun. My kids had a blast, and I felt completely recharged. This hotel truly delivers on every level—comfort, convenience, and service. I’d absolutely stay here again if I ever return to Xiamen!

Seaview Resort Xiamen

Staying at Seaview Resort Xiamen was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The property boasts modern facilities, a serene environment, and a convenient location near the coast without being too far from city amenities. Breakfast was excellent—plentiful and tasty. But what truly stood out was the exceptional service from the staff, especially the personal care provided by the concierge. During New Year’s holiday, the hotel was nearly full with families traveling with kids, which made for some evening noise that even good soundproofing couldn’t fully block out—disrupted my sleep significantly. I also have a sensitive stomach, so lack of rest only worsened things, and I couldn’t handle heavy or greasy meals. That’s when the team stepped in with kindness: they proactively arranged a room transfer to the quieter Water Pavilion area, which made such a difference. To top it off, they brought me a warm bowl of soft, comforting congee with light side dishes right before bedtime. It wasn’t just food—it felt like care. I’ve never felt more looked after during a stay. This level of thoughtful service is rare, and it completely turned my experience around. I’ll definitely be returning.

Pullman Xiamen Powerlong

The lobby manager was exceptional—prompt, helpful, and made sure all my questions were answered quickly and efficiently. The hotel is beautifully situated right in the middle of a park, which made morning runs absolutely delightful.

Just behind the hotel is a charming pigeon plaza where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. My lake-view room had an incredible panorama—every time I opened the curtains, it felt like nature was right outside my window.

X Future Hotel Xiamen

The service here truly stands out—friendly, responsive, and genuinely attentive. I reached out to the hotel manager, Mr. Cai, with a few questions, and he got back to me quickly with helpful solutions. The suite offered a great mix of city and sea views, spacious layout with two bathrooms, which was super convenient for groups or families. While there’s no bathtub, the rest of the amenities are well thought out, including a mahjong machine—perfect for some fun evenings. Breakfast was standard but satisfying. What really made this stay special was the warm hospitality and personal touch. If you value excellent service and a comfortable, well-designed space, this is a top choice. Definitely planning to return.

Swiss Grand Xiamen

My stay at Swiss Grand Xiamen was truly exceptional. The room service stood out—especially the dedication and attentiveness of Ms. Geng Hongyan, the guest services supervisor. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and well-being, making us feel genuinely valued. The only minor concern was the deposit requirement: a RMB 1,000 refundable deposit was requested by the hotel, which is higher than the room rate itself, plus an additional payment through the booking platform. While this did feel a bit steep upfront, it’s worth noting that the overall experience far outweighs this small inconvenience. From the elegant rooms and thoughtful amenities to the professional yet warm staff, every detail reflects high standards. If you’re looking for a luxurious and personalized stay in Xiamen, this hotel delivers. I’d absolutely return and recommend it without hesitation.

The check-in experience was seamless, with friendly staff who even brought a welcome honey drink to the room and reminded us about late-night snacks—such thoughtful touches!

Breakfast was excellent—plenty of variety, fresh ingredients, and a pleasant dining atmosphere. I highly recommend checking out the fitness center: top-notch equipment, a sauna, and a stunning infinity pool that makes working out feel like a luxury. From service to amenities, everything was well-executed. This hotel delivers on comfort, convenience, and charm—perfect for both business and leisure travelers. Would definitely stay here again.
