Fujian has two personalities: Xiamen's sea breeze and Wuyi's tea fragrance. This 6-day route is easy, delicious and very photogenic.

Days 1-2, Xiamen: a full day on Gulangyu island (UNESCO) walking its colonial architecture and Piano Museum, cycling the island ring road by the sea, and seafood at Shapowei.

Days 3-4, Wuyi Mountain: about 3 hours by train. The Nine-Bend Stream bamboo raft ride is a must; climb Tianyou Peak for the Danxia landscape; and at night watch the "Impression Dahongpao" open-air show.

Day 5, tea day: visit the mother Dahongpao tea trees, learn rock-oolong brewing at a farmhouse, and buy some zhengyan tea as a gift.

Day 6, return: Wuyi North Station or Wuyi Airport. Spring and autumn are best; summer rains mean bring an umbrella.
