The experience

Your driver picks you up at your hotel at your chosen time: either 8 to 9 a.m. or 1 to 2 p.m., and takes you to Xiamen Botanical Garden, one of China's most famous and beautiful botanical gardens. The garden holds various provincial and municipal-level cultural heritage sites and is divided into numerous sections, each dedicated to different species of plants, trees and flowers. You'll see ponds with golden fish and three temples mainly in the north of the garden. A sightseeing car is included, so you can sit and move through the garden's picturesque views without walking the entire grounds on foot.

Your private guide leads you through the rare plants and different zones at a pace that suits your interests. After you've finished exploring, your driver takes you back to your hotel. The whole outing runs about four hours from pickup to drop-off.
