South Putuo Temple Tourist Area: Located in the south of Xiamen Island, the South Putuo Tourist Area is full of cultural flavors, as it holds a number of tourist attractions, such as the South Putuo Temple with a history of over 1,000 years, the straight and exquisite Wulao Peak, Xiamen University full of academic flavor, the Hulishan Fort which preserves the oldest cannon, and the Overseas Chinese Museum which tells the wandering history of overseas Chinese in other countries. When taking a tour of these tourist attractions on this fascinating land, visitors cannot help reviewing the past and enjoying the scenes in front of their eyes.
Huli Fort Hill: Huli Hill Fort was built in the east of Xiamen Island in 1823, but was destroyed during the Opium War and rebuilt in 1891 with over 100,000 tael silver in an undertaking that took five years. The port is opposite to Yuzaiwei on the coast. The building has a mixed style of European half-underground bunker and Ming and Qing defense system with an intact gate, wall, tower, moat, camp and port, which is great treasure for research in China's coastal defense history, the westernization movement and ordnance technology.
Huandao Road: A 31-km Huandao Road (Island Ring Road), which winds through the south and east shore of Xiamen Island, is a green belt that offers tourists an ideal place to cycle along beautiful seashores. For those who believe in fengshui, the ring road, which is backed by mountains and facing the sea, is on excellent and auspicious grounds.
Xiamen University: it’s one of the most beautiful universities in China with reputation of academic achievements.
