Located by the seaside, Xiamen of Fujian Province has many beach activities to offer, including kite surfing, swimming and rafting. The beaches are kept well and the water is clean. The mild climate in the city makes beach activities feasible all the year round.
Kite surfing
The main beaches in Xiamen stretch from Xiamen University to Yefengzhai, which measures over 10 kilometers. The extreme sport "kite surfing", which brings both the excitement of kiting and surfing, has taken over the water recreation areas of some popular beaches in Xiamen. Various domestic and international competitions are held there.
Of the numerous beaches, Haiyuntai Beach is the best beach for kite surfing due to its wideness and fine sand. It is favored by most kite surfers as there are fewer travelers and the sea water is crystal clear. Visitors can easily find it situated between the Asia Gulf Hotel and the Xiamen International Exhibitions and Conference Centre.
