The current situation of Gulangyu Island: Don’t come if you don’t have a good guide

I take my friends to Gulangyu Island almost every month. I just came back from Gulangyu Island. The whole route avoided the crowds and didn’t hurt my legs. It was really relaxing. 😌 ‼ ️Sharing the route I often take when I go to the island. It is fun to visit, great for taking photos, and quiet and relaxing with few people. . 🚢Ticket purchase method: If there are many people during holidays, buy the ferry ticket at least 8 days in advance 👸"Yujian Xiamen"‼ ️There are three departure piers, bring your ID card and arrive on time‼ ️ 1️⃣ Cruise Center Xiagu Pier-Sanqiutian Pier 35💰/Neicuoao Pier 50💰 (the departure pier for tour groups, those who know will know) 2️⃣ BRT terminal "First Pier" - Neicuoao Pier 50💰 3️⃣Xiamen Ferry Terminal-Piano Pier (This is the citizen line, tourists can take a boat here to the island and get off at Sanqiutian Pier after 17:00 in the afternoon) . Holiday suggestion ➡️Take the boat at "First Pier" and get off at Neicuoao Pier. This pier will have relatively fewer tourists! ! But one train per hour! Walk 5-10 minutes to the attractions Just 2 minutes’ walk from the island is the Gulangyu Academy of Fine Arts. There are art exhibitions and markets there from time to time where you can stroll around. There are no tourists inside, so it’s very comfortable! . 🗺️Route planning: Neicuoao Pier (Sanqiutian Pier to the island during non-holidays) ➡️Sunlight Rock ➡️Shuzhuang Garden ➡️Dadeji Bathhouse ➡️Longtou Road ➡️Return from Sanqiutian Pier . ✔️Sunlight Rock: Avoid noon time, go there in the morning or evening, the best place to take aerial photos of Gulangyu Island ✔️Shuzhuang Garden: A villa built by the sea, known as the Suzhou Garden by the sea ✔️Da De Ji Bathing Beach: There are few people, the green reefs and big trees are very photogenic, and you can take pictures of the Twin Towers on the other side . 🍲About food: I took my friends to Ludao Seafood every time I went to the island. The location is very convenient, right next to the Sanqiutian Pier, making it easy to go to the island for dining or leave the island after dining. The environment is elegant, it doesn't cost cheap to bring friends there, and it's quite presentable. Everything is clearly priced, so you don't have to worry about being ripped off, and it tastes fresh! ! 🏖️Tips: ✔️Children without ID cards can enter by scanning the QR code; ✔️Transportation on the island: There are no bicycles or cars. There are sightseeing buses around the island, but they don't go into the alleys, so you have to walk the whole way ✔️The boat ticket is a round-trip ticket (valid within 20 days), and there is no limit on the return pier or flight number. There are boats leaving the island 24 hours a day! ✔️From October to May of the following year, after 17:40, the return trip from Sanqiutian Pier is to the ferry terminal (opposite Zhongshan Road). Please plan your time accordingly.
