Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Stay on Gulangyu only if you want the island after the last ferry; prices are higher and facilities older than on the main island.
Hotels require a passport at check-in; some budget properties lack a foreign-guest licence, so confirm on Trip.com or Booking.com before paying.
Book Wuyishan and Hongkeng at least two weeks ahead for national holidays (1-7 October, Spring Festival).
Trip.com and Booking.com both list Fujian properties in English.
