Find the new cruise terminal and plan city sightseeing or a Gulangyu visit.
Xiamen International Cruise Center's new terminal opened on 15 April 2025 at No. 75 Yuanhang Road, Huli District. Confirm the exact building and meeting point with your cruise line. The nearby ferry terminal for Gulangyu serves a separate journey and should not be used as your cruise pickup point without confirmation.
Maps and planning topics are grouped here so useful references stay easy to compare.

Send your driver the ship, call date, confirmed terminal, passenger count and luggage details. Keep the address in Chinese and the pickup instructions available offline. Allow time for disembarkation and entry checks before fixing the start of your excursion.
For Gulangyu, reserve the correct visitor ferry route and carry the original identity document used for the ticket. The ferry operator lists daytime services from Dongdu to Sanqiutian and Neicuo'ao; sailing times and boarding cutoffs follow its ticketing system and terminal notices. Leave room for the return ferry and the journey back to your cruise terminal.
A mainland city visit can focus on South Putuo Temple, the waterfront and Zhongshan Road when ferry timings do not fit. In every case, follow your ship's all-aboard deadline. Check entry permission before travel: the national 15-day cruise visa-free policy is conditional on a qualifying agency-organized group of at least two people continuing on the same ship until departure from China.
Gulangyu: allow for the separate visitor ferry, ticket identity checks and a return sailing. South Putuo Temple: a mainland alternative to an island visit. Zhongshan Road and the waterfront: combine nearby city stops when the port call is short. Choose the route only after confirming your actual time ashore.
