After the visiting, you can walk to Xiada Xicun Bus Stop to get on bus No. 87 to Xiamen International Cruise Terminal (Dongdu Port), where you can take a ferry to the Gulangyu Island. Endowed with pleasant climate and stunning scenery, the islet is reputed as Sea Garden. The little island is very pedestrian friendly as cars are prohibited, and a ring road circling the islet makes it very easy to get around. Multiple architectures both in traditional Chinese and western styles flank on the islet, among which many featured shops, bars, and restaurants are scattered. There you should not miss the Piano Museum, Sunlight Rock and Bright Moon Rock. A sunbathing on the beach should also be added to your must-to-to list.

Housing Fujian style architectures, Jimei University enjoys amazing scenery by embracing the sea shore, and you can take a relaxing stroll in the campus. The Dragon Boat Pond, Aoyuan Garden and the Former Residence of Chen Jiageng are worth visit.

You can purchase the bus tickets online or on the spot. Or you may ask the hotel to see if they can reserve the tickets for you or not. The buses to Xiamen leave from Fuzhou North Bus Station (addr: No.371, Hualing Lu, near the Railway Station) and South Bus Station (addr: No.190, Wuyi Zhong Lu, near the Da Li Jia Cheng). The bus schedule for North Bus Station is 10:30, 14:00 and 17:00, while the schedule for south station is 11:00. The journey takes around 3.5 hours and costs CNY120 per person.

3 days are enough to visit Wuyishan scenic area. You can take the high speed train from Jinjiang to Wuyishan North railway station which is only 3.5 kilometers to the spot. I suggest you stay at the hotel in the scenic area, which is very convenient.

Hi,
i recommend the following hiking route to you: Xiamen - Nanputuo Temple - Gulangyu Islet - Jimei Village, but i have no idea on the hiking groups or clubs, maybe you can search online or find some local agency in Xiamen.

The best trail for hiking in Xiamen is starting from Nanputuo Temple—Guofangyuan—Botanic Garden. It’s also very nice to hike alone the Huandao Road by the Beach.
But I strongly recommend you to hike in Wuyishan. It’s an UNESCO Cultural and Natural Heritage site,with many species of rare plants, wild animals,and beautiful unique landscape: thick forest,winding stream,rocky hills,green tea terrace,Chinese traditional architectures as well as handerds of acient temples of Buddhism,Taoism and Confucianism.

The Cheapest way to come to Wuyishan from Xiamen is taking a night train. There are many hotels in Sangu Resort,where most of the tourists stay. A comfortable room for 3 star hotel costs about 200 Yuan in Dec,as it's the low season,it's quite easy to get a room with good price. You can even stay in Tianxin Yongle Temple, they are guestroom in the temple price under 200 Yuan. They also offer vegetarian food. The temple is inside the Scenery spot and deep in the forest,so very quite and easy&nice to hike around.Wish you have a nice trip.
