If you have never been to China before and you want to have a nice landing spot then this area of China is for you. Or may be you're already working in China and you want to escape the cold north. The main cities make up the area of Min Nan known as the "Golden Triangle."
Minnan is opposite of Taiwan on the eastern coast of Fu Jian province. It is a tropical region so for those who want to thaw out from the cold north then move here. As it is the tropics there is a wet period between spring and summer however winter is not freezing and mostly sunny.

Xiamen is an island city that has an international airport on the island which is easy to get to if you want to fly somewhere. Unlike Shanghai Pudong airport that is miles out of town. Also you can go to the beaches that are clean and to the many other islands around Xiamen. There are ferries going to the other islands which are very cheap and really nice to visit. Xiamen is a great place to go shopping, dining out and has a lively night life.

Zhang Zhou is only an hour bus ride from Xiamen and this is where I have been working for almost two years. There is an old part of town which is a maze of old alleys that the locals still use for shops such as bicycles and fishing equipment. Fun to explore if you enjoy old parts of towns in China that haven't turned into tacky tourist parks. The town has a few pubs and even a disco but not just any but a super disco. There is a pool barn if you're not into dancing and there is even lots of old video arcades. Many restaurants to eat outside along the river and places to have a BBQ as well.
