Flickserve Posted May 10, 2018 at 02:09 PM Report Posted May 10, 2018 at 02:09 PM Learn and train how to play badminton with a coach. It's a fun activity, cheap, can get you fit, really popular with locals and the coaches don't speak English. Plenty of immersion in Chinese. 3 Quote
abcdefg Posted May 11, 2018 at 02:11 AM Report Posted May 11, 2018 at 02:11 AM As for more standard tourist things, do some research about a trip to see the Tulou round houses a couple hours away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujian_Tulou Everyone goes to Gulangyu Island. Read up on that and see if it appeals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulangyu The Fujian coast in general is a great place for fresh seafood. Xiamen is no exception. Learn how to order several kinds of fish and several kinds of other, non-fish, seafood items such as shrimp, crabs, and bivalve shellfish (molluscs.) You will need a few preparation terms such as steamed, boiled, and fried. 1 1 Quote
mungouk Posted May 11, 2018 at 03:06 AM Report Posted May 11, 2018 at 03:06 AM There are lots of free tips and orientation basics on the Lonely Planet website: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/china/fujian/xiamen Their China guidebook has 5 pages on Xiàmén specifically, and a chapter (17 pages) on Fújiàn overall. You can buy it as a PDF and download it right away, with no DRM so you can put it on any device you like. 1 Quote
