Quanzhou is 2 hours by bus from Xiamen. Fare is 38 Yuan on a direct tourist coach.
On arrival at the long distance bus station I was hassled by touts. In front of the station there is a store selling freshly roasted chestnuts. Very good tasting. Luckily I was also able to taste the last of the sweet and luscious persimmons of the season.

Hey, just a quick note for anyone thinking of hopping the border for a week or so...I recently came across budget airline Airasia which flies return from Xiamen to Bangkok for under 1000RMB...may be worth a try! Maybe the new Ryanair?
