Itinerary: Shanghai – Xiamen – Hongkeng – Gulangyu – Shanghai
Our overall feeling is very positive!
The tour of the Hakka houses was perfectly balanced: not too much road, enough walking, pleasant contact with the locals and above all very few tourists. The two nights in the Fuyou Tulou were great, it is very spartan but it suited us perfectly and allowed us to live at the rhythm of the village (perhaps not recommended for others who prefer more comfortable residences…).
The trip to Gu Lang Yu was also very pleasant, although very different: lots of tourists and a less rural environment. The hotel was very good, very well located, quite cozy and the staff very friendly. 1.5 days on the island is enough.
The guide was perfect! Very professional (good reviews on the tour sites), present, discreet, kind, etc.
In short, pure happiness.
