If you go to Gulangyu in Xiamen,it is unnecessary to go to Meizhou Island again..Moreover Meizhou Island is in Putian,and Your time is so short, you may return to Fuzhou directly…there are many scenic spots in Wuqubajing of Fuzhou, specially it rains heavily in this period, you may go to the Qingyun Mountain in Yongtai to see the waterfall,which is the unusual waterfall in the world …it is possible to save 10 hours to return to Wuhan from Fuzhou comparing that from Xiamen.
Proposals: D1 , reach Fuzhou at 10 o'clock in the morning, go to the Wenquan (branch) Road to look for a sauna to have a hot spring bath, it costs only 15 yuan generally for the sauna.. you have to pay them for knead feet or massage ,and so on... Go to the Huangqi seafood restaurant to eat the seafood at noon, eat the Fuzhou snack in Old Fuzhou or the Aitai Building if you are alone .. go to Quanzhou by bus after lunch, you can visit the Haijiao hall , Shen tomb (* ) , travel cultural street . Live in Quanzhou in the evening. D2,visit the Laojun rock,Kaiyuan temple , Qingjing temple , Fuwen temple (* ) , Tianhou Palace (* ) of the Qingyuan Mountain in Quanzhou ,reach Xiamen at dusk, and live in Xiamen University. D3-D4 , travel in Xiamen. D5Xiamen- Dongshan Island ,at 7:30 a.m., visit the Fengdong Stone,Tongshanshi City,Dongmen island, Guandi Temple (* ) , live in the Dongshan...
D6, return to Xiamen in he morning, return to Wuhan by trainin at 15: 14.
Note: the places adding (*) are options, if the time is insufficient I may give up. Fuzhou - Quanzhou - Xiamen -Dongshan Island - Xiamen - Wuhan, is inferior to Fuzhou – Meizhou Island - Quanzhou - Xiamen – Wuhan. The scenery of Meizhou Island is very well, but you need not go to both Meizhou Island and Dongshan Island, and also there is no enough time, you had better choose one , if there is no special need, I suggest going to Meizhou Island.
“which place is quite amusing ,Quanzhou or Fuzhou?”,that depends on personal perferance.as for in the urban district , Fuzhou is mainly about ship politics culture, notables hometown dwelling, hot spring, and snack, Quanzhou is about religious and sea silk culture primarily. Xiamen - Wuhan compared to the Fuzhou - Wuhan is a bit farther, but it dos not miss 10 several hours, by train about more than 5 hours……….
