Xiamen Ring Road

Introduction to Xiamen Ring Road

Built around the sea, the Ring Road is located in the southeast of Xiamen Island. With a total length of 31 kilometers, it stretches from the ferry port and then goes through the Yanwu Bridge, Hulishan Canon platform, as well as Wuyuan Bay and airport.

Ring Road is a special racetrack for Xiamen’s annual International Marathon and also one of the most popular tourist areas in the city. It has connections with numerous tourist attractions, such as Shangli reservoir and the exhibition center. The 9-kilometer coastline between Xiamen University and Qianpu, hailed as the “golden coastline”, is a green coastal corridor integrating tourism, sightseeing and entertainment. 

On the lawn of the east section of the Islet-Ring Road, there are 97 lifelike statues of marathon athletes in various poses. Looking far away, you will see a landscape that is elegant and attractive. Apart from Small Jinmen Island, you could even dimly glimpse Greater Jinmen Island. Along Islet-Ring Road, tandem bicycles are available for rent.
