The current situation of Gulangyu Island in Xiamen!! Don’t come here if you don’t plan well for the National Day holiday!

The current situation of Gulangyu Island in Xiamen!! Don’t come here if you don’t plan well for the National Day holiday! This is the summary of a Xiamen native who has visited Gulangyu Island dozens of times! I will teach you step by step how to visit Gulangyu Island without making any mistakes! What attractions are really worth visiting! If you have any questions about Gulangyu Island, just read this article! How to visit Gulangyu Island: You have to walk almost all the way to Gulangyu Island. If you have enough time, it is recommended to reserve a whole day! Otherwise, it will be very rushed and it will be difficult to see the real scenery. There are many attractions on the island. These are the ones I think are really worth visiting. Sunlight Rock is the highest point of Gulangyu Island. You can overlook the whole island and take great photos! You need to climb stairs. It is recommended to watch the sunset in the evening. Shuzhuang Garden Stone Forest, Sea Stone Pavilion, the most beautiful corner, garden architecture, great for taking photos on a sunny day Dadeji Bathing Beach is 10 minutes away from Shuzhuang Garden. Walk into the bathing beach and there is a beautiful tree on the left. When the tide is low, you can stand on the rocks and take pictures. There is a spiral staircase not far from the Sanqiutian Pier on Gulangyu Academy of Fine Arts. It is a great place to take photos. This spot is relatively small but the scenery is great. There is really no need to queue up for the most beautiful corner!! It’s all marketing. Gulangyu has many beautiful and interesting paths where you can walk around and take photos. Boat tickets to the island: Tourists and locals take the boat at different docks. Tourists need to buy tickets in advance! Buy tickets about 10 days in advance during the peak season. About departure and arrival terminals: There are three piers to Gulangyu Island. Most tourists take a boat from Xiagu Pier. 1. First Pier: Cheapest ferry ticket 50 per hour, within the destination Cuo Ao Pier 2. Cruise Center Xiagu Wharf: Destination Neicuoao Wharf/Sanqiutian Wharf, optional 3. Ferry Terminal: It is a local citizen terminal during the day. At night, tourists can choose Sanqiutian Terminal from 18:50 to 23:45 (this terminal is at the end of Zhongshan Road and is suitable for tourists who want to go directly to Gulangyu Island for the night). The area near Sanqiutian Pier is the most crowded place on the island. If you want to avoid the crowds, you can also go to Neicuoao Pier. However, the island is not big, so you don’t have to worry too much about which pier to go to. What else is there to do near Gulangyu Island? Jinxia Huangu Tour 90min A super surprising route!!! When the weather is good, the scenery is really amazing! It's no exaggeration... The original picture of the glass sea in Xiamen is so beautiful! This route can see Kinmen and many iconic buildings and attractions in Xiamen. There are singers singing on the first floor and outdoor photos on the third floor are great!
