Why 屿见厦门
Chinese SERP is ferry FAQ dumps — almost no passport → “其他证件” walkthrough.
Locals and tourists use different lines; buying the wrong product wastes a morning.
Alipay real-name is often the blocker for fresh tourist accounts — hotel assist helps.
Passport steps
- Decide pier and sailing (Dongdu daytime tourist sailings are the common visitor path — confirm live timetable).
- Open 屿见厦门 in Alipay (or WeChat). Log in with a real-name-verified Alipay if the FAQ path requires it.
- Add passenger → other ID type → passport number → name as on the passport.
- Buy outbound sailing (presale 15 days). Save the order / QR.
- Arrive early: boarding check typically starts 20 minutes before departure and stops 10 minutes before (FAQ).
- If the gate rejects the passport scan, go to the staffed desk with passport + order — FAQ notes some passport / Mainland Travel Permit numbers need manual verification.
Official rules change — re-check the linked source on your travel week. Prefer official channels; avoid unofficial “guaranteed ticket” sellers.
Pitfalls
- Trying the resident-only ferry line as a tourist.
- Alipay not real-name verified — online purchase fails.
- Missing the day-15 09:00 release on busy weekends.
- Assuming every passport number auto-gates — some need the desk.
- Confusing night return piers (Sanqiutian / piano pier rules differ by hour).
