Xiamen Rock climbing in Xiamen
Posted: Thu December 6, 2007 05:19 AM UTC
Does anyone knows if there is any rockclimbing going on in Xiamen?

I´m considering studying at Xiamen Daxue, but I might change my mind and go to Wuhan just because they have a rock climbing gym there.

Xiamen Budget hotels on Gulangyu Island ?
Posted: Tue October 2, 2007 07:30 AM UTC
Hi guys I will be in Xiamen from the 14th October and will stay at the Home Inn but thought it might be worth staying on the island as I plan to visit for the day. Are there any budget hotels there ? I read that the Lizhi Dao was cheap (according to the ROUGH GUIDE) but can't find it on the net.

As for Xiamen I am staying 4 nights and may change hotel to a smaller one which again is about 200-220 RMB......does anyone know of any that are good ?

Hi, we are a family of 8 travelling to Xiamen 12-15Oct. Need arrangement for airport/hotel/airport trfs (van or minibus) sightseeing on the next day.
Will be staying at the Sheraton Hotel. I have to make these arrangements as our package does not include land transfers. Have read that taxi prices are reasonable from airport to hotel but if possible we like to travel together.

Xiamen furnished apartments in Xiamen
Posted: Thu December 28, 2006 10:57 PM UTC
I am coming to Xiamen to live in February. We have 4 young children, so we will need a fairly big apartment. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, what is usually included in "furnished" apartments? Do we need to bring our own bedding, kitchen utensils, etc or are they usually provided, like they are here in Australia?

Xiamen World Choir Games in Xiamen Jul.13-25, 06
Posted: Fri May 19, 2006 08:06 AM UTC
I'm planning to travel to Xiamen for World Choir Games in Xiamen between July 13-25, 2006. So far still don't know where the competitions, exhibitions, or any relating activities will be held. It's very difficult to choose the hotel to stay. Please suggest hotels around 3-4 stars that are located in the center and easily to access to exhibition or convention halls or the place that would be most likely this big event would be held. It would be really really appreciated if anyone know in detail about the competition as well. Thank you
