"Among the Five Most Beautiful Urban Areas in the Country" - Xiamen, Gulangyu Island

The splendid weather of Gulangyu Island requires no filter for its beauty to shine through☀. Here, one can leisurely stroll and pause without any particular destination in mind, a truly relaxing experience. I would suggest not to obsess over finding popular photo spots or check-in points📸. For along the way, you will encounter a myriad of unique sceneries🏝. For those keen on visiting popular spots, here's a suggested route🌊: 🚶‍♀Tour Route: Sanqiu Tian Pier - The Most Beautiful Corner - Organ Museum - Longtou Road Snack Street - Haoyue Park - Seaside Bathing Beach - Shuzhuang Garden - Sunlight Rock - Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall 🚗On the island, you can choose to explore on foot or take a sightseeing car to visit various attractions. 🚢Ticket Purchase: Gulangyu Island does not require an entrance fee, and tickets for individual attractions on the island can be purchased on-site as needed. As the number of tourists on Gulangyu Island is limited each day, it is best to purchase ferry tickets 3 days in advance. You can do this by clicking on the Gulangyu ticket purchase on the homepage of the "Yu Jian Xiamen" mini-program. A 35 yuan💰 ticket is recommended, which includes a round trip (valid for 20 days). You can enter the station and return by swiping your ID card. ⛵About the Pier: There are two departure piers, one is Songyu Pier, and the other is Xiagu Pier (more convenient). You can choose according to your distance. The most visited by tourists are Sanqiu Tian Pier and Neicuo Ao Pier. Both piers have sightseeing routes🉑, and the return journey is also at these two piers, with a boat every 20 minutes, ending around 5:30. Please plan your time wisely⏰. ✅Paid attractions on Gulangyu Island (optional visits)👀: ✔Shuzhuang Garden: A Suzhou-style garden on the sea, ticket price 30 yuan💰. ✔Sunlight Rock: The highest point on Gulangyu Island, offering a panoramic view of the entire island, ticket price 50 yuan💰. ✔Haoyue Park: A statue courtyard commemorating the national hero Zheng Chenggong, ticket price 10 yuan💰. ✔Organ Museum: The world's largest organ museum, ticket price 15 yuan💰. ✔International Lettering Art Museum: A collection of lettering art from China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia, ticket price 5 yuan💰.
