[2024 Xiamen ] Travel Guide for Xiamen Mountain-To-Sea Trail (Updated Dec)

The most beautiful trail, a must-visit in Xiamen.

Recommended reason: Xiamen Mountain and Sea Trail, overlooking mountains, sea and city night view 📅 Travel strategy: It is recommended to hike the Linhai Line of the Mountain and Sea Trail around 3:30 pm, starting from Wang Hu Tower, most of the way is downhill, and finally reaching Pan Gui Tower and Tianquan Square. The end point of the taxi can be located at San Guandao Temple. After arriving at a similar location, the taxi will go up and up and up the uphill road, so taking a taxi is the best choice. If you choose a bus, you have to walk a long uphill road. After the entrance, it is a zigzag trail. The trail to Wang Hu Tower (also known as the roasted gluten tower) is basically downhill, not tiring. The scenery here is good, with a distant view of the reservoir and mountains on one side and a distant view of houses and the sea on the other. Wang Hu Tower has an elevator. Go down all the way, stop and go, and arrive at Pan Gui Tower after about two hours. Pan Gui Tower is suspended in the air above the sea, with a distant view of Kinmen. Just arrived at dusk, the orange sunset filled the sea, the scenery at this time is the best. Finally, from Tianquan Square, there is a bus stop 100 meters ahead, two stops to Zengcuoan, you can start eating. 🏨 Accommodation strategy: Xiamen Hotel, enthusiastic service, rich breakfast, the key is that there are many buses in front and back doors, which is very convenient for travel, and the botanical garden is within walking distance. 💗 Other tips: The mountain and sea trail is very long, you can choose your own physical strength. If you have elderly people, it is recommended to take a taxi directly to Tianquan Square or Pan Gui Tower, watch the sunset and walk the trail, this section is beautiful enough.

Xiamen | If you don't do your research, don't come to the Shanhai Trail

|If you don't do your research, don't come to the Shanhai Trail. The scenery here is really beautiful‼️ The Twin Towers and "Little Switzerland" Shangli Reservoir are all in full view You can also see the beautiful sunset, the view is really great! It is a place where locals come for a walk‼️ 1️⃣ Take Metro Line 1 to Exit 4 of "Lianban" Station 2️⃣ Take a taxi to the D15 gate of the Shanhai Health Trail Linhai Line (About 15, about 15m n) 3️⃣ Walk a few steps in to see the zigzag trail and Wanghu Tower 4️⃣ Take the elevator down to the first floor from the grilled gluten 5️⃣ Pan Gui Tower (walked for nearly 2 hours to get here) 6️⃣ Tianquan Square (walked for nearly 2.5 hours to get here) 7️⃣ Take a taxi to howstea (Tianquan Branch), be sure to use multiple platforms to call a taxi ⚠️ It is difficult to get a taxi‼️ I spent nearly 20 minutes calling a taxi on three platforms before I got one ✅🌄 Be sure to calculate the sunset time, from D15 to Pan Gui Tower, it is best to reserve two hours to walk, especially for people like me who like to take pictures and are not physically fit ⚠️ Winter: It is recommended to start around 15:00 ✅ Although this is a downhill walk that does not require physical strength, it is still very tiring. It is really tiring... I rested for a whole day after walking. If you are not physically fit for travel, you can consider the following options ✅ Just watch the sunset and walk less: Music Square👉Tianquan Trail👉Square👉Pan Gui Tower (1 hour to watch the sunset) ✅ Next to it is Zengcuo'an, you can take a walk, after all, it is still very famous, but it is still not recommended to go, there is nothing fun ✅ Remember to bring water‼️ Bring a power bank ✅ Wear comfortable shoes👟

Xiamen Travel | Here, I Found the Best Sunset Spot

🌞 Xiamen's "heavy snow" is not cold at all, and the weather is still warm. How can you miss the sunset in such good weather? 📸 The Linhai Line of the Mountain-Sea Trail at sunset is picturesque, with mountains and sea. The secret sunset spot between the mountains and sea offers views of both the mountains and the sea.

It has a strong sense of three-dimensionality and science fiction, and it looks like a bus stop, but also has a sense of time and space tunnel. ☀️ [Best Sunset Spot] Walk up for another 2 or 3 minutes, and you will reach the best sunset spot at a bend. On a sunny day with high visibility, standing on the mountain and looking at the sunset by the sea in the distance, the clouds in the sky are dyed with brilliant colors, layer upon layer, like a dream. The sun slowly sinks, as if the whole world is immersed in a gentle orange-red, making people feel relaxed and happy. From time to time, ships pass by the sparkling sea, reflecting the sunset in the sky, creating a beautiful picture 🖼️. 👀 [Pan Gui Tower] Walk forward for another 5 minutes, and you will reach Pan Gui Tower, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has a 270° view of the sea, making it an excellent place to watch the sunset.

With the blessing of the sea fog, it is like a fairyland, like a mirage, and yet it seems so close, beautiful and magnificent. ⛰️ [Sunset] As the sun gradually sets, the sky changes from orange to fiery red, and the clouds in the sky slowly fade away, but the beauty and tranquility remain in my heart for a long time. Time seems to stand still, making people forget the hustle and bustle of the world, and I really want to immerse myself in this beauty and feel the unique beauty of the seaside sunset in Xiamen. 🎁 Tips: 👉🏻 Transportation: Enter the Linhai Line of the Xiamen Mountain-Sea Health Trail from Exit 7 - Tianquan Trail Square, not far from Zengshan Station. 👉🏻 Time: In winter, it is recommended to arrive at 4 pm to enjoy the whole process of the sunset 👍🏻.

Xiamen, the dreaming summer resort

#summerresorts my adventure along the Shanhai Trail was the highlight of my visit. This scenic route, aptly named for its combination of mountain and sea views, offered a refreshing escape from the city’s heat, providing both natural beauty and a sense of tranquility. The trail begins near the coast, where the gentle sound of waves and the fresh sea breeze set the tone for the hike. As I ascended, the views quickly became breathtaking, with the sparkling blue waters of the Taiwan Strait stretching out to the horizon on one side, and the verdant hills of Xiamen rising on the other. The path was well-maintained and shaded by trees, making it a comfortable hike even in the summer sun. Along the way, I encountered various viewpoints that offered panoramic vistas of Xiamen’s coastline, dotted with islands and the distant outline of ships moving through the strait. What made the Shanhai Trail truly special was the seamless blend of mountain and sea, where each turn brought a new perspective of Xiamen’s natural beauty. The trail wound through dense forests, over rugged hills, and along cliffside paths, offering a variety of landscapes that kept the hike engaging and rewarding. The peacefulness of the trail, combined with the stunning views, made this hike a perfect summer activity, allowing me to connect with nature while escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. By the time I reached the end of the trail, I felt both invigorated and at peace, having experienced the best of Xiamen’s natural offerings.

Xiamen | Shanhai Health Trail 'Hexi Building'

Address: Huweishan Section of Shanhai Trail, Xiamen The 'Internet-famous Spiral' Hexi Building Trail of Xiamen Shanhai Health Trail spirals upwards connecting Huweishan, offering particularly spectacular scenery. It complements the Huweishan Sea Pearl Tower and the Cruise Center. The Xiamen Health Trail is 23 kilometers long, starting from 'Cruise Plaza' and ending at 'Guanyin Mountain Dream Beach'. It stretches from west to east, passing through different scenic spots of eight mountains and three waters, including: Yundang Lake, Huweishan, Xianyueshan, Yuanshan, Xueling Mountain, Hutoushan, Jinshan, Hubian Reservoir, Wuyuan Bay, Huzai Mountain, and Guanyin Mountain Beach. The Hexi Building Trail spirals upwards connecting Huweishan, offering particularly spectacular scenery. Hexi Building includes a 60-meter height difference with a circular ramp at the starting point of Cruise Plaza, an urban elevated bridge crossing Dongdu Road, a 40-meter high reinforced concrete elevator tower and spiral ramp, a 54.5-meter span connecting the elevator tower and Huweishan with a tensioned beam bridge, and a Z-shaped elevated bridge in the forest, thus bridging the height difference from Dongdu Road to the Huweishan Meteorological Park platform. The road extends in a modern architectural style, with heights ranging from 50 to 70 meters, forming a trumpet-shaped narrow strip enclosed on three sides. Meanwhile, the north side of Huweishan faces the Dongdu underpass tunnel, with complex spatial dimensions and significant construction space constraints.

Experience of walking part of the Xiamen Mountain-Sea Health Trail

Indeed, the scenery is quite good. I climbed it around 6 PM in the evening, enjoying the breeze, which was quite comfortable. However, the total length is a bit long, 23 kilometers in total. So if you plan to go in the evening, you might only be able to walk part of it like I did. But it might be a bit hot during the day, so my suggestion is to start in the cool morning, then find a place to avoid the heat at noon, and continue in the evening. I don't know if it's possible to finish it in one day as I haven't tried, but you can give it a try.

Visit the Linhai Trail at Shangli Reservoir | Xiamen CITY work||| Today, I checked in at the popular "Big Wheat Gluten", walking and stopping along the way, taking pictures, not too tiring, a great place for the weekend! Reaching a higher position, the view suddenly opens up~ The slope of the entire plank road is designed very reasonably, with benches set up for resting on the side, and about every 10 to 15 minutes, there will be a restroom🚻, and there are also drink machines and drinking water (some rest points have drinking water). It took us about 1 hour to get from the direction of Panguita to Shangli Reservoir, and it would be faster without taking photos~ Route: The trail has many entrances and exits, you can walk from bottom to top, or from top to bottom. Each section has its own charm. Meihai Flower Platform → Wanshi Canghai → Panguita (total time 2.5H), this section is a route across the mountains and sea, whether from the perspective of saving energy or viewing time, it is recommended to arrange from top to bottom. This way, you can see the sea and enjoy a sunset, absolutely beautiful~ (If you are a tourist, you can directly go down to Zengcuo'an to stroll and eat, cross the Fish Bone Sky Bridge and walk by the sea, enjoying the sea breeze) We went from Panguita to Wanshi Canghai (Shangli Reservoir section), and then took a small path down the mountain, also to see the sunset, slowly setting beside the Gemini Towers (haha, yesterday's looked like a salted egg yolk) The direction is up to everyone's choice~ 🚗Transportation suggestions: 1. If you don't want to climb a lot, take a taxi🚖 and set your destination to Mountain Corner Coffee (enter from D15, right next to Meihai Flower Platform), and you'll be right at Big Wheat Gluten. 2⃣️🚌If taking the bus, take routes 29, 48, B8, 329, get off at Zengshan Station, and 200 meters away is the entrance to the Health Trail, which leads up to Panguita, and you can just follow it. ⏰Time arrangement suggestions: Choose a clear and bright afternoon. (It's best on a weekday, as there are more people on weekends, and the photos will be full of people) It is recommended to go between two to three in the afternoon. The light is quite photogenic. If you want to take good photos📷, I suggest using a camera! If you're afraid of the sun, you can set off in the morning, bring the necessary food and water, and you can rest and enjoy the breeze on the reservoir lawn in the afternoon, a perfect day! 📷Photo spots: The positions in pictures 3 and 5 are the best for taking great photos! What's commendable is that the trail is very clean and tidy, the cleaning uncles and aunties are really amazing~ So, while we are traveling, let's protect the environment, sort our waste, don't litter, and the trash cans are also very densely placed, everyone should be conscious~ Wishing everyone a happy National Day holiday~ Where to go for the National Day, Xiamen Mountain and Sea Health Trail, Xiamen Tourism, Photo Check-in

If you have the chance to visit Xiamen and have ample time, it's a nice choice to take a walk on this health trail. Photographed on the Xiamen Health Trail on 2024-02-24

Xiamen's Orange Sea is too romantic

Come to Xiamen to see the Orange Sea once! Xiamen's mountain and sea trail is really beautiful to the sky, I didn't expect that the skywalk built along the ring island road is the correct way to watch the sunset by the sea!

Gazing at the mountains and seas from the temple, I made vows of eternal love here

Years later, I visited Xiamen again and was once more moved by the romance of this city. The boundless sunset over the strait, the gentle and friendly locals, and the fresh and delicious cuisine all made me reluctant to leave...

Xiamen Citywalk, strolling along both banks of the Lujiang River

The beauty of Xiamen is real, it's part of everyday life, it's tangible. This port city of Xiamen has its own dwelling nature and charm, it's a stack of red bricks and green tiles full of stories, it's the worldly life hidden in old buildings and narrow alleys, it's the free-spirited temperament of mountains and seas. Xiamen Mountain and Sea Health Trail Forest Sea Line, taking in the cityscape and mountain and sea views. The second phase of the Forest Sea Line organically links the city's slow lane system and the mountain trail system, making it one of the most popular walking routes for residents and tourists. The trail is very gentle, suitable for the elderly and children, and baby strollers can also be pushed onto the trail. Walking past the 'Ten Thousand Stones and Green Sea' scenic spot, heading towards the Gui Tower, you can see the twin towers, residential areas, sea areas, parks, green spaces... The vibrant cityscape and tranquil natural scenery are all in sight. The Sunlight Rock Scenic Area is composed of Sunlight Rock and Qinyuan, and the cable car on Sunlight Rock is the 'bridge' between the two places. Qinyuan is located on another mountain, with a bird park, audio-visual hall, art gallery and a garden to commemorate the heroes. To get from Sunlight Rock to Qinyuan, you have to go quite a long way. If you're walking, it's definitely tiring, but with the cable car, you can easily get from Sunlight Rock to Qinyuan. Of course, the existence of the Sunlight Rock cable car is not only an important tool for tourists, but also an important embellishment of the beautiful scenery of Sunlight Rock. The various colored cable cars, red, orange, blue, etc., hanging in the air, add more color to the green mountains. Sitting in the cable car, you can see the beautiful scenery of Gulangyu Island. The feeling of being suspended in the air is also a stimulating experience. The red brick ancient buildings with golden lacquer carvings, under the blue sky and white clouds, a plane flies over the roof. The strong collision of old and new has a magical realism beauty. In front of the Qingshui Palace in Xiamen, there are many people holding SLRs squatting, just to take such a photo. Because it is adjacent to Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, you can often see planes flying low overhead. The classical beauty of the Minnan temple and the plane in the same frame, it seems that something, across time and space, shakes people's emotions. It is said that the new airport in Xiang'an will be completed by the end of 2024 and will be open to traffic in 2026. By then, Gaoqi Airport may be closed, or the number of flights may be reduced. By then, you may not be able to take such a picture in front of the palace. If you like photography, why not pick a sunny day, check the flight information, and take a photo of a plane flying over the ancient Minnan architecture at the Qingshui Palace in the community in front of the palace. After taking the photo, you can also go to the snack street near the subway station for a walk and a big meal. Xiamen Mountain and Sea Health Trail

Screensaver worthy scenery - mountains + sea

#2024wish One of my favourite experiences visiting Xiamen was walking along the epic Mountains to Sea trail which covers almost the whole of Xiamen Island itself. The walking trail is filled with breath-taking scenery and is absolutely FREE. A perfect way to get acquainted with Xiamen and to enjoy all of its natural scenery, from the mountains to the sea. 🚌 My route started in Gucuoan, which is a seaside village bustling with hostels and local eateries. You can take a short bus ride from there or walk to the endpoint of the trail which is by the sea. From there, you will start ascending in a gentle climb - it's worth noting that there are no stairs, it is really a straight path so the experience can be enjoyed by those in wheelchairs, strollers or even the elderly. My target destination was Shangli reservoir, which itself is housed within a nice park popular with the locals. The iconic spiral ramp takes you all the way up to a perfect vantage point overlooking the reservoir. Simply not to be missed! 🌟 This stretch of the trail is one of the most popular, so you will see fellow walkers huffing and puffing up and down. The path is wide, clean and well maintained- I was so impressed by how amazingly well kept it was I went up to praise the maintenance staff. Absolutely a five star experience!
