How to book

China-local channel
Channel

Xiamen University's security guide identifies its visitor-reservation WeChat account as the sole official route; the public guide does not confirm foreign-passport field support.

When to book

The official guide does not publish a general release interval; only book a slot shown as available in the official system.

Booking steps

  1. 1

    Search for the official Xiamen University visitor-reservation WeChat account named in the university guide.

  2. 2

    Select the Siming campus visit date and time, then test whether the form accepts the passport details without altering them.

  3. 3

    Save the successful reservation and enter only through the university gate and time period shown in it.

  4. 4

    If the form rejects the passport, contact the university's official visitor/security desk before traveling; no alternate channel is asserted here.

What to bring

Bring the same passport or identity document used in the reservation; foreign-passport acceptance is not explicitly documented.

If booking does not work

A failed form is not a reason to use a reseller: ask the university's official visitor service whether staffed registration is available.

Two hours.

Foreigner notes

Map the arrival point

Use the full Chinese name and address for Xiamen University Historic Campus, then check the final walk from the drop-off point to the gate.

Passport and phone rules vary

Campus access is reservation-controlled, but the foreign-passport workflow and Chinese-phone requirement remain unconfirmed by the official guide.

Crowd patterns are starting points

The quiet window listed for Xiamen University Historic Campus can shift with events and weather. Recheck the official notice before committing the route.

Treat hours as a starting point

Opening hours vary. Visitor access uses dated campus reservations rather than a fixed scenic-area opening schedule.

Keep the arrival point handy

Save 厦门大学(思明校区) and 思明南路422号 before leaving; the last walk is easier when the gate is already marked.
