Hi Levi,
I read in the blog that Indonesian citizen can now transit in Xiamen without transit visa. However, I had firsthand experience in 2017, where I got denied to onboard in Soekarno-Hatta airport because they said I don't have transit visa to Xiamen. It was supposed to be a 4h transit in Xiamen before going to Amsterdam. I need to buy KLM ticket on the spot which obviously cost few times more expensive compared to Xiamen airline ticket.

I advice you to check to Chinese embassy in Indonesia just to be 100% sure.

Hope it helps and have a safe trip !

Levi, as an Indonesian citizens, you are allowed for 24 hours visa free transit in China including Xiamen and Harbin. In order to determine your eligibility you just have to calculate the entire time from your first scheduled arrival, in your case in Xiamen, until your second scheduled departure, in your case from Harbin and if the time is shorter than 24 hours, you are definitely eligible for 24 hours visa free transit. If your entire transit exceeds 24 hours, you need a pre-arranged visa.

Calling the embassy staff is useless since they are clueless regarding these issues. They will definitely tell you to obtain a transit visa. If you want to call anybody who could maybe know, although I sincerely doubt that, is Xiamen Airlines because I assume you will be flying with them all the way to Harbin.
