What you'll see and do
Yongding Earth Building
After breakfasts, your private guide will pick you up at your hotel lobby. Sit back and relax in a well maintained, air conditioned non smoking private vehicle for a 3-hour drive. You will learn from your knowledgeable Tulou travel guide about the history of the Tulou (Prince of Tulou-Hongkeng Earth Building Cluster), the local life of the Hakka people, some basic facts of the earth buildings you will visit and other things you should know for this tour. Arrive at the tourist center, you will first go to the Zhengcheng Building, which is featured as “the prince of the earth buildings” at the World Architecture Model Exhibition held in Los Angeles in April 1986. Later you will visit the "Rice Liter" like earth building-the Rusheng Building, which is the smallest circular building. At noon, you will go to a local Hakka family to have a traditional Chinese lunch. Enjoy the local Hakka food and their special home made rice wine! Later after lunch, you will continue to visit the Fuyu Building -one of the few sumptuous earth buildings, then the Kuiju Building, inside of which there are still over 100 people living there. At last part of the tour, you will experience the amazing "whispering wall" at the center point of the Huanji Building. If you pedal hard or speak loudly, you can hear the echo very clearly, just like the "whispering wall" in Temple of Heaven in Beijing. After the tour, you will have a good rest on the comfortable vehicle during the 3-hour drive back to Xiamen. You will be transferred back to your hotel, airport, train station or any other places in downtown Xiamen like a restaurant or a bar if you like.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Tour To Hongkeng Earth Building from Xiamen Including Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xiamen.
How much does Private Day Tour To Hongkeng Earth Building from Xiamen Including Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Private Day Tour To Hongkeng Earth Building from Xiamen Including Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Day Tour To Hongkeng Earth Building from Xiamen Including Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Private Day Tour To Hongkeng Earth Building from Xiamen Including Lunch?
+
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 Private Day Tour To Hongkeng Earth Building from Xiamen Including Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour To Hongkeng Earth Building from Xiamen Including Lunch?
+
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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour To Hongkeng Earth Building from Xiamen Including Lunch 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.
