Hotel news, 23 September 2024
Xiamen, China, September 23, 2024 - From September 20 to 22, Marco Polo Xiamen, in conjunction with a team of KOLs and media from Fuzhou, embarked on a cultural exploration of Minnan. During the three-day and two-night trip, the media team took Yundang Lake as their starting point, experienced Marco Polo Xiamen Hotel in depth and visited Xiamen Jimei School Village, where they were immersed in the charm of Minnan architecture with its Swallowtail Ridge architectural style.

The media team captured the unique charm of the trip with words and footage, skillfully mixing the hotel's flavor with Xiamen's literary atmosphere. Not only did they feel at home with the personalized service at hotel, taste Minnan cuisines at Lotus Court, the Kerrygold afternoon tea at the Lobby Lounge and the Kerrygold teppanyaki set menu at Shogun, moreover, they visited the Yundang Park, the Jimei School Village, Bay Park and other local tourist attractions with numerous unique features.

During the trip, the media team slowed down their pace, listened to the sea and felt the caress of the wind, and gained a deeper understanding and perception of Xiamen. We believe that with their subsequent promotion, the convenient location where direct access to various tourist attractions and restaurant delicacies will be more widely known, attracting more tourists to visit and experience at Marco Polo Xiamen.
