By Ship

As a southeast Chinese port with a very long history, Xiamen Port has a wide, peaceful sea area without freezing or silting, providing an excellent water transportation network. It has domestic sea routes to Hong Kong and the Taiwanese island of Jinmen. A passenger ship bound for Hong Kong departs every Wednesday at 17:00 and makes the return voyage from Hong Kong every Tuesday at 14:00. Ships between Xiamen and Jinmen depart from both sides about every hour during the operating time of 9:00 to 18:00 (Winter Schedule). The whole journey takes about one hour and costs CNY 150 (including CNY 1 for insurance) per person. Please be sure to come at least 20 minutes before the departure time to finish the boarding procedures.

Xiamen Port consists of several port areas such as Dongdu Port Area at the west side of Xiamen Island, and Haicang and Songyu Port Areas at the south coastal area.
