How do I go to Wuyishan from Xiamen? Flight or Train? What is the estimated cost and is there any online booking?
Or should I just book a tour from Xiamen to Wuyishan? Again can that be arranged online?
Thanks.

It is suggested that you take the train K8746/K8747 which depart from Xiamen at 19:04 and arrive at Wuyishan at 08:18 the next day. The fare is 150RMB/hard-sleeper. If you are impossible to purchase a train ticket, please use the flights. There are 5 flights from Xiamen to Wuyishan everyday, taking 40 minutes on the journey.

Hi,
our family plans to visit Bai Qiao village north of Xiamen (where our Ong ancestors came from) at the end Oct/early Nov.
Since Xiamen is also close to Zhangzhou, Guangdong province, we might also try to visit Tong Loon Seah village, home of our Chew ancestors.
(I gather that Xiamen and Zhangzhou are only 74 km apart).
What about Sah-Leng village in Swatow (now Shantou) where our Yeo and Tan ancestors originate? Can Tong Loon Seah and Sah Leng be tackled in 3 days?
Please advise.
Yeo Family
