What's on

Xiamen events, in English

The good stuff — theatre, screenings, outdoor trips, markets — happens in Chinese, on WeChat and 小红书, and rarely makes it into English. We translate what's worth your time, sourced from the local organizers who run it. A light list lives here; the full picture lands in the newsletter.
