Xiamen is a great place to visit.
You can stay on Gulangyu Iland and it will keep you busy for a few days at least. Get a map of the city and visit the place that you are interested in. Recommend the botanical gardens and the area around Xiamen University and the Jimei Education area on the mainland.

If you want to spend some time outside Xiamen then I suggest a few days in Yongding to visit the Hakka area.
See my travel review

or head north to Quanzhou. I haven't been but I belive it is worht a visit. Again search online and you're sure to find something of interest about it as it's and ancient trading port

I'll post a review shortly on Xiamen so if you are not visiting for a few weeks it may be timely for you to have a read. Get online and do a search you should come up with a few other seb sites with some useful information.

Enjoy your visit. I've been twice to visit friends and would go back again and again. I love it but it may not be too warm this winter and be warned they don't have much in the way of heating.
