Island Ring Road: Xiamen’s Golden Coastline

Island Ring Road

Xiamen’s “Marathon Corridor” of Scenic Beauty

Stretching 31 kilometers along the sun-drenched southeast coast of Xiamen Island, the Island Ring Road (Huandao Lu) is a masterpiece of coastal planning. This scenic route begins near the historic Nanputuo Temple and winds past the vibrant Yanwu Bridge, offering a perfect symphony of blue waters and golden sands.

The “Golden 10 Kilometers”

While the entire road is stunning, the stretch starting from Hulishan Fortress to the Wuyuan Bay area is the true soul of the route. This section highlights why Xiamen is a top choice for Fujian highlights:

  • Pristine swimming beaches and the trendy Gulangyu Island views.
  • Whimsical themed sculptures celebrating the famous Xiamen Marathon.
  • A vibrant array of local seafood and boutique stays in Zeng Cuo An Village.
