Brief information on Islet-Ring Road  

Built around the sea, the Islet-Ring Road is located in the southeast of Xiamen Island. It stretches from the ferry port and then goes through the Yanwu Bridge, Hulishan canon platform, as well as Wuyuan Bay and airport, with a total length of 31 kilometers. Islet-Ring Road is the special racetrack for Xiamen’s annual International Marathon and also one of the most popular tourist areas in the city. It connects numerous tourist attractions, such as Shangli reservoir and the exhibition center for example. 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 into the distance, 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.
