🎢 Recommended Attractions
▪️ Garden Expo Park (around November)
Advance reservation is required. It is a hidden gem for autumn viewing in Xiamen. Strolling here feels like entering a sea of flowers, watching the bald cypress change color, and enjoying autumn scenery hidden in a Jiangnan-style garden~
▪️ Nanhu Park (late December to January next year)
Here you’ll find lush lawns. In autumn and winter, the bald cypress gradually turns red, making this spot a popular check-in point on social media!
▪️ Xiamen Botanical Garden (September to October)
The garden has a rich variety of plants. In autumn, the Chinese tallow trees bloom brilliantly, creating a full autumn atmosphere. Remember to book tickets in advance!
▪️ Gulangyu Island (September to November)
The century-old European-style buildings look even warmer under the autumn sun. The red brick walls intertwined with banyan trees and yellow leaves create a unique autumn scene. From Sunlight Rock, you can overlook the whole island and the autumn sea view of Xiamen Bay~
