Xiamen | Strolling around Gulangyu, the beach at dusk is simply irresistible!

🏝️Gulangyu, this small island known as the 'Island of Music', with its unique architectural style, rich historical culture and beautiful seaside scenery, is fascinating. During this year's National Day holiday, I had the opportunity to visit this small island and experience its unique charm. 🌳Chinese and Western architecture + Sunlight Rock Sunset ✨The architectural style of Gulangyu is unique, with Chinese and Western architecture coexisting, both traditional Chinese architecture and European classical architecture. ✨Walking in the alleys of the island, it feels like being in a world full of exoticism. Most of the buildings are made of stone, and they are still as strong as ever after being washed by wind and rain. ✨On Gulangyu, you must go to Sunlight Rock, which is the highest point on the island. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire Gulangyu, with beautiful scenery in sight. The sunset on the island is super beautiful, sitting on the beach watching the sunset is simply too good. But the Sunlight Rock scenic spot will close at 5:30 in the afternoon, so if you want to see the sunset, you must enter early. 🍡Food experience + island sightseeing 🍉There are many types of food in Gulangyu, both authentic Fujian snacks and various seafood delicacies. Fish balls, oyster pancakes, satay noodles, these classic foods are delicious and unique, making people relish. 🍉Various homestays, old mansions, museums, and foreign affairs offices are scattered on both sides of the street. If you want to understand the history, culture, and local customs of Gulangyu, you can choose some places of interest to visit. 🍉Gulangyu looks small, but there are many scenic spots to visit, and there are many routes to play. It is best to go to the island in the morning for a walk around the island, reserve enough time to visit, it is estimated that it will take 5~6 hours to visit the whole island, and reserve 2 hours for getting on and off the island (including ticket checking, boarding, crossing the sea, etc.) 🌟The Palace Museum Gulangyu Foreign Cultural Relics Museum 🔹A dazzling pearl on the island, the museum houses many precious cultural relics from all over the world, as well as local foreign elements of rare treasures. 🔹The three-story small building is simply and cleanly decorated, with a quiet and mysterious atmosphere, and the cultural relics standing quietly under the light seem to have traveled through time and space to a foreign country. 🔹Exquisite porcelain, ancient bronze bells, precious paintings and calligraphy... Each exhibit tells the dusty past, making people linger. 🔹Although the museum is not large, the exhibition areas are well-arranged, each exhibit is extremely exquisite, and each exhibit is worth watching carefully. It is estimated that it will take 1~1.5 hours to visit. 🔹The old clocks from Europe in the museum, with various shapes, finely carved, and dazzling gems, are amazing. These clocks have witnessed the historical changes of European society and the land of China, and also witnessed the exchanges between Gulangyu and countries around the world. 🌴Enjoy the beautiful seaside scenery, experience the unique architectural style, taste the authentic Minnan delicacies, walk on the soft sand, blow the sea breeze, watch the beautiful sunset, the waves lightly pat the dusk, accompanied by the random music on the beach Swing together, the casual time is so relaxing, it's simply irresistible.
