Walk Zhangzhou Minnan old streets

You wander the restored lanes and Confucian Temple of Zhangzhou, reading swallowtail roofs, stone carvings and daily tea culture in southern Fujian.

Visit a fujian fishing village

In a fujian fishing village you watch nets mended, boats launched and shells sorted, a hands-on side of the zhangzhou minnan culture tour.

Eat through a dongshan seafood tour

Your dongshan seafood tour moves from harbour stall to charcoal grill for oysters, razor clams and rock-oyster soup this coast is famous for.

This zhangzhou minnan culture tour starts in Zhangzhou old town, where swallowtail roofs, a Confucian temple and tea houses show southern Fujian at street level. You then continue on a dongshan island tour across the causeway to a fujian fishing village coast of harbour markets, forts and sandbars, ending each day around a dongshan seafood tour of just-caught shellfish. Together the days frame a slow zhangzhou 3 day tour of architecture, sea and food.
