Fujian
Combining sea views with the old-world charm of the mountains, Fujian is a varied destination of Xiamen's Gulangyu, Wuyi Mountain, tulou earthen buildings and islands.
Fujian lies on the southeastern coast, facing Taiwan across the strait, with mountains and hills covering most of the province and a winding coastline. Gulangyu in Xiamen, Wuyi Mountain, the Fujian Tulou and the Quanzhou Song–Yuan maritime trade sites are all World Heritage sites. Pingtan Island and Sandu'ao Bay in Ningde show off island and bay scenery, and deeper trips can take in the covered bridges of Zhouning and Shouning, the ancient town of Heping in Shaowu, Taoyuan Cave in Yong'an, the tea country of Jian'ou and Zhenghe, and the ceramics of Dehua and Yongchun. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant, and typhoons are a concern in summer. Xiamen Gaoqi and Fuzhou Changle are the main airports, and the coastal high-speed rail is convenient.
