Definitely! If you like sunlight and tea 🙂

Hey Sam! It’s going to be such an adventure!!! I still miss Xiamen sometimes! I used to have curries all the time. I had a few Pakistani friends in Xiamen and they cooked Indian food as well. Xiamen food is spicy hot. You will find cheese in Western supermarkets, Siming is the best location 🙂 Ask your new Chinese friends to help you get all the Indian spices on the Chinese amazon which is called Taobao. Hit the Chinese supermarkets as well, because you could find spices there. Be sure to read my article “Xiamen City”! It’s the essential guide to town! Best wishes for your new job and life…

Many thanks for this article, a great way to learn about Xiamen and share your ideas. I am moving to Xiamen in July once Lockdown is over in the UK. I have been offered a job in a local school, very excited but at the same time anxious to settle down in a country when I don’t speak the language, very different culture from UK and food. But I am looking forward to exploring Xiamen. I will be staying in Siming District nearer to my workplace, but have not found any accommodation yet. I don’t drive and a vegetarian, kindly suggest how difficult to buy Indian spices, grocery etc. Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Hi! Thanks for the feedback 🙂 I would recommend absolutely to walk on the city ring road along the beach (Huandao Road), visit to the Nanputuo Temple (not everybody will be able to climb the hill, but the temple is a must-see), and the Taiwan-style street-food market at the back of Zhongshan Rd in the center. However, I’ve collected all my recommendation in this other post, please check it out /xiamen-city-china-things-to-do/

Thanks, Hendro! I hope to go back there for a visit too!

That’s very informative, make me go to xiamen

I did not have it for the English language… I used to find teaching jobs by word of mouth. Most of my friends who were teachers did not have it too. All they required was a demo class showing you were able to teach kids English.
