20,000 Steps of Exploring Gulangyu! The Most Beautiful Photo Spots Are Hidden Here

Wandering all day on the stone paths of Gulangyu, even the breeze carries the romantic vibe of old villas. At 9 AM, head to Shuzhuang Garden to shoot the sea; sunlight filters through the coconut trees and falls on the piano-key-like reefs, making every casual phone shot feel like a Japanese film scene. At noon, turn into a small shop covered with bougainvillea on Longtou Road; the refreshing starfruit juice paired with freshly made fish balls is a unique island cure. In the afternoon, by chance, I ended up on Bishan Road, where red brick walls, green vines, and the distant ferry create a perfect picture. I squatted by the roadside taking photos for 10 minutes, reluctant to leave. The biggest surprise was the evening at Gangzaihou Seaside Bathing Beach, where the sunset dyed the sea orange, and the old banyan tree on the shore became a natural frame. Even my friends said this photo could be their profile picture for the year! Tips: Wearing light-colored dresses makes your photos stand out more. Many small alleys on the island have more charm than the main roads, so don’t just follow the crowd.
