Xiamen, China

A colonial-era island reached only by ferry and closed to cars, Art Deco villas left over from a century of foreign concessions, and a seafood-and-tea culture the rest of the country holds up as a gold standard.

The best time to visit Xiamen is Mar–May, Sep–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (83°F).
