#summervacay #july2025 #discoverchina High above the hum of Xiamen, Harmony Tower rises like a quiet sculpture along the Shanhai Health Trail. With sweeping curves and glass-lined platforms, it’s a modern marvel designed not just for views—but for stillness. Reach the tower by walking the elevated sky trail, where ocean breeze meets forest shade. On clear days, the view is cinematic—Xiamen’s skyline gleaming in the distance, Gulangyu floating offshore, and layers of blue stretching in every direction. The tower itself is beautifully minimalist, its open-air design allowing sunlight and wind to move freely through its spiral walkways. Up top, it feels less like a lookout—and more like a quiet pause above the world.

Xiamen Mountain and Sea Health Trail, a free mountain and sea tour, come and come! In the center of the city, walk a few steps along the trail and you will enter the mountains and the sea. The whole person will relax at once. There are scenery along the way. The flowers are in full bloom, and the plums are about to turn red. When you are tired, have an ice cream and check in in front of the spiral staircase. It is the most suitable style for this city. Cozy.

🏠 Xianyue Park is located in the center of Xiamen City. It is a park featuring forest landscapes and natural wilderness, with the main functions of climbing, sightseeing, leisure, vacation, fitness, and health. It attracts many people to climb and enjoy the view on weekends. 👏🏻 We recommend the Shanhai Health Trail next to the Tudi Gong Temple. The air here is particularly good, and the design is great. The side is hollowed out, and the foot is an iron net. Some sections are made of glass. Walking along the trail, you can enjoy the beautiful mountain and sea scenery. The view is wide and open, and you can overlook the city, which is refreshing. It is a good choice to relax. ✈️ You can also watch planes take off and land here, which is spectacular. However, such a scene will soon be gone.

❤ Recommended reasons: Yusui Guoyun Shanju is a new space that combines weekend leisure, team building, tea space, tea brewing, Hanfu makeup, and Guochao photo spots. It is hidden in a valley in Dongping Mountain and is a rare paradise in Xiamen. Stroll along the Shanhai Health Trail, walk through the sea of flowers, and sit quietly on the island in the lake to enjoy tea. It is a unique experience.

#Seaview The charming seascape scenery here on the Mountain and Sea Health Trail, the blue sky, the green mountains, and the sparkling sea surface, form a beautiful natural picture. ! 😍 I can't help but sigh, nature's palette is really amazing, how can it mix such harmonious and moving colors? I walked slowly along the trail, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the coast. Suddenly, I found a kind-looking old lady in front of me, picking up some shells along the way🐚👵 Next, I found some wish notes written by tourists on the guardrail of the trail. ✍️ I took a closer look and found some of the wishes were quite interesting, such as "I hope I can eat a delicious sandwich tomorrow", "I hope my wife will take good care of me", etc. I couldn't help but laugh to myself. It seems that this creator of nature also has his own little "sense of humor". On the mountain and sea health trail, I not only enjoyed the beautiful sea view, but also met some interesting "little friends". The surprises here kept me laughing until the end. #Mountain and Sea Health Trail #Comfortable Sea View #Nature's Little Humor

The Mountain-Sea Trail on a sunny day is stunning!!! You can see mountains, the sea, and the sunset. Every snapshot is a masterpiece!!! If you have time, you should really come here for a walk. It costs nothing to experience the beauty of nature. The flower sea is beautiful, the gluten tower is magnificent, and the sunset is gorgeous. The Shangli Reservoir looks like Altay⛰️... The Mountain-Sea Trail is 32km in total. For lazy people like me, I recommend only walking the essence of it. Take your time to stroll and take pictures, which takes 2-3 hours. Recently, the sunset is at seven o'clock, so it's best to start around 4 PM to enjoy the stunning sunset🌄～ Transportation: 🚌 Take the bus to Dongpingshan Community Station, locate the Linhai Line D15 gate of the Mountain-Sea Health Trail, or take a taxi🚗. Starting from here is the top of the mountain, which is relatively easy and offers the best photo spots! Driving is not recommended due to traffic jams and parking difficulties. You can follow the path down the mountain and go back directly. Lazy person's easy photo route📷 location📍 Meihai Flower Terrace (purple flower sea) ➡️ Wanshi Canghai (large gluten, best spot to overlook Shangli Reservoir) ➡️ Pangui Tower (most beautiful sea view) ➡️ Tianquan Trail Plaza (sea view and sunset) ➡️ seaside Little tips⚠️ Remember to bring water and a power bank, and make sure to do sun protection! There are mosquitoes, so you can bring a bottle of mosquito repellent, and wear a pair of comfortable shoes👟
