    nice preserved village

    This is an interesting village founded by Mr.Shen. It is traced and shared with the Chen clan in Taiwan. There are about 200 households here but majority of the houses have been emptied. the village is characterized by houses built during the Ming and Qing dynasty with curved swallowtail red tile roofs and stone wall. All the houses are built facing north and the rest which are later built in the 60 and 70 are facing south. Between the two houses are side door facing each other so when all are open one can run from one end of the village to the other far end There are some Banyan trees along the riverwhich are mnore than 300 years old. On a well lit sunny day this scene is quite beautiful

    Half Day Trip to the Amazing Daimei Ancient Village from Xiamen: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xiamen.

    How much does Half Day Trip to the Amazing Daimei Ancient Village from Xiamen cost?

    +

    Prices start at $169 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Xiamen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Half Day Trip to the Amazing Daimei Ancient Village from Xiamen take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Xiamen is not rushed.

    Is Half Day Trip to the Amazing Daimei Ancient Village from Xiamen worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Xiamen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Trip to the Amazing Daimei Ancient Village from Xiamen?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Half Day Trip to the Amazing Daimei Ancient Village from Xiamen suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Half Day Trip to the Amazing Daimei Ancient Village from Xiamen?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Xiamen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Xiamen and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Half Day Trip to the Amazing Daimei Ancient Village from Xiamen start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Xiamen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Xiamen?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Xiamen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Day Tour To Tianluokeng Tulou from Xiamen Including Lunch, Private One Day Xiamen And Gulangyu Highlight Tour Including Lunch, Xiamen Layover Day Tour-Gulangyu,Shuzhuang Garden And Piano Museum. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Xiamen?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Xiamen?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
