The joy of having your own wheels is that you can go anywhere, anytime. Make the most of your newfound freedom by exploring all there is on offer in Putian. It’s just 45 miles away. Shishi Yansi Temple, XiongHui ShiDiao ZhanShiYuan and Ninghai Bridge alone make the drive out worth it. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Xiamen, 50 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s SM City Xiamen. (But we’re also huge fans of Wutong Passenger Wharf and Xianyue Park.)
