Location & Transportation

Botanical Garden Dripping Water Mountain House is tucked within Xiamen’s 4A-rated Botanical Garden at 25 Huyuan Road, Siming District, right in the city center. To get there, take Bus 87 or 31 (hop off at Zhongshan Park) or ride the metro to Xiamen North Station, then walk 15 minutes. The garden’s entrance feels modest—a simple thatched gate—but step through, and you’ll discover a hidden paradise.

Natural Scenery: A Serene Escape

Nestled against the mountain slopes, Botanical Garden Dripping Water Mountain House feels worlds away from Xiamen’s bustle. Ancient trees tower overhead, while crystal streams trickle under arched stone bridges. Mornings here sparkle with dew-covered grass, and koi fish dart below lotus-dotted ponds. The air smells fresh—like rain-washed forest—and white geese glide across the water, adding life to this tranquil oasis.

Cultural Highlights: Tradition Meets Art

This spot blends nature and culture seamlessly. A wooden pavilion hosts live guzheng (traditional Chinese harp) performances, filling the air with soft, melodic notes. Nearby, a taiji (Taoist yoga) pattern is etched into stone, nodding to Chinese philosophy. Even the menu here tells a story: Botanical Garden Dripping Water Mountain House is also an upscale private restaurant, where dishes are plated like art. Think delicate tea-smoked fish or mushroom hotpot—each bite as elegant as the surroundings.

Unique Amenities: From Nature to Noodles

Beyond its scenic beauty, Botanical Garden Dripping Water Mountain House offers surprises. Wander bamboo groves, relax in shaded gazebos, or snap photos beside koi ponds. The on-site restaurant uses locally sourced herbs and heirloom recipes, turning meals into experiences. Reservations are a must—this spot books up fast for its calm vibes and Instagram-worthy dishes.

Visitor Experience: A Calm Conquers the City

Entering Botanical Garden Dripping Water Mountain House feels like shedding city stress. The contrast between the humble gate and the lush, layered gardens inside? Pure “Xiamen magic.” Sip jasmine tea by a gurgling brook, watch geese preen their feathers, or lose track of time admiring carved-wood details. Come hungry—the food here isn’t just eaten; it’s savored. And after? You’ll leave with a strange urge to wear linen clothes and speak softly, forever changed by this quiet corner of Xiamen.
