|The most comprehensive travel guide to Gulangyu Island - Part 2, save it now. Next ④ Fun: 1. In addition to Sunlight Rock, Shuzhuang Garden, Haoyue Garden, Bagua Tower, Historical and Cultural Exhibition Hall, Pangu Museum, She Ethnic Minority Museum, etc. (next to the Catholic Church), other places worth visiting include: 2. I highly recommend the Organ Art Center. There are piano performances and explanations at four time points every day. There will be a 45-minute organ performance at 4 pm every Friday. Tickets are hard to get. If you want to make an appointment on Friday, it is recommended to set the alarm on Wednesday night. Go immediately after midnight (that is, you can make an appointment for Thursday and Friday at 00:00 on Thursday. One ID number can only make one appointment within seven days. If you can't go, cancel early and you can make another appointment.) If you have time, I recommend walking around the island. It takes about 2-3 hours to complete the walk. 3. If you walk from Neicuoao Wharf towards the Academy of Fine Arts and Sunlight Rock, you can come across Meihua Beach and a scenery very similar to the Shuzhuang Garden Sea Boardwalk (near Shell Park). If you walk from Neicuoao Wharf towards Sanqiutan Wharf, there is also a beach with dark red reefs and people picking up shells for fun. It is quite picturesque here. (Shortcut tips: Exit from Longshandong Tunnel and you will be closer to Neicuoao Pier) 4. The trees on the island are very old, and some are three or four hundred years old. Even if they are blown down by the wind, they can still live. Their vitality is really strong. You can see them on the way to Shuzhuang Garden and Haoyue Garden. 5. To send postcards, there is a China Post store in the direction of the street park. Most postcards are 5r each, registered mail +3r, and envelopes are 5r each (envelopes can be found at the stationery store near the school near Xiamen Island). Buying beauty is only a few dollars a piece) 6. The weather in the Botanical Garden is good and suitable for a day of fun. You can go to the west gate at around 9 o'clock in the morning when the sun comes out to take pictures of the tropical rainforest and the Tyndall effect. It doesn't matter if you miss it. You can go through the south gate and take the elevator up the mountain. The first attraction is the lavender garden and the green lawn. Take a photo and you will feel like you are back to the non-mainstream avatar in a second. It is very big and you can take your time to visit it. (At the entrance of the botanical garden, there are people who persuade you to take a sailboat, saying that it is not a good time to enter the botanical garden. It is best not to pay attention to them.) 7. Xiamen University and Nanputuo Temple. You can visit these two together with Shapowei in one day. You need to make an appointment three days in advance for Xiamen University. It will be better if the weather is good. When you enter Nanputuo Temple, you can get a stick of incense to light. It really feels sacred and solemn when you enter the temple. 8. Gulangyu Concert Hall: There are performances almost every week of every month, and reservations are free. It is worthwhile to cultivate your sentiments even if you don’t have a musical talent. 9. The Gulangyu branch of Xiamen Library on the island is not big and is very suitable for quiet reading. There are many stray cats on the island, but it is clean, so cat lovers are in luck. However, it is recommended not to feed them randomly. 10. Supplement: I didn't specifically look for the ginger duck. I went to Xiamen Island to eat at A-Dai. It is recommended to eat with two or more people. I met a young lady who ordered a set meal for one person. I ate until I was full, but I got tired of it in the end because it was all meat. Summary: Xiamen and Gulangyu are really exquisite and romantic cities, suitable for leisurely strolling. It is easy to encounter surprises in corners. There are still many details, I will add them later when I remember them. Xiamen, Fujian

As a long-established resort hotel in Xiamen, Haiyue Villa’s summer family trip feels like a "blind box of surprises and regrets intertwined." The room upgrade brought unexpected joy, and the thoughtful family services were heartwarming, but the aging facilities are hard to ignore. Below is a genuine stay record to provide a reference for parents planning to bring their kids. Day 1: Unexpected Suite Upgrade & Initial Hotel Exploration "Multiple-level upgrade" surprise: Booked a basic garden view large room, but the front desk proactively upgraded to a refined suite in the main building, giving the trip a great start. The suite features a separate living room, walk-in closet, and balcony. Unfortunately, the low-floor balcony was blocked by dense greenery, so the full sea view was not visible. The minibar had 8 bottles of drinks, and the welcome fruit plate was generous, fresh, and delicious. The child happily started eating the fruit upon seeing it. - Thoughtful children's amenities: The hotel provided children’s slippers, bathrobes, a Delsey brand toothbrush set, and a fun treasure hunt map. Kids could participate in plant check-in activities to redeem gifts. Once the child got the map, they were eager to start the adventure. - Signs of aging facilities: - The living room has an irregular triangular layout with small windows, resulting in average lighting and a somewhat dim atmosphere. - The scenic bathtub is small, making it a bit cramped for adults to soak, but just right for kids to splash and play. - The main bathroom has a single basin design and lacks a smart toilet, making it slightly inconvenient to use. Day 2: Garden Pool Fun & Food Pros and Cons - The environment is the biggest highlight: The hotel boasts a 500,000㎡ "botanical garden-level" vast garden with 20,000 rare trees. The summer garden is lush and green with fresh air. Walking with kids in the garden feels like being in a natural oxygen bar, and they can learn about various plants. A 10-minute walk through an underground passage leads directly to Huangcuo Beach, which is less crowded and beautiful with fine sand. Kids can freely build sandcastles and play on the beach, enjoying the summer seaside fun. - 18 pools to choose from: outdoor irregular-shaped pools, infinity pools, indoor heated pools, and more, offering a rich variety. The poolside rooms allow you to jump into the pool right from the door. The child was excited to see the pool and played happily in the water, cooling off. - Dining experience is average: - Breakfast highlights: authentic Minnan snacks like misua (thin wheat noodles), peanut soup, and satay noodles, with a relatively rich variety. There is also a dedicated baby food station, but the baby food’s taste was average, and the child didn’t eat much. - Dinner drawbacks: The ¥280 per person buffet dinner is not cost-effective, with ordinary dishes lacking distinctive features. Parents are recommended to order takeout or dine outside the hotel for more variety. Day 3: Service Highlights & Impact of Aging Facilities - Service details win favor: - The concierge’s electric shuttle service is quick and responsive. Visiting the botanical garden’s water area with kids is convenient with frequent shuttle trips both ways. - The children’s playground is well-equipped, allowing kids to play freely and make new friends, while adults can relax and rest, truly freeing their hands. - Concentrated complaints about aging facilities: - Although the main building opened in 2009, high occupancy has made aging facilities quite apparent. There is a slight mildew smell in the rooms, affecting the living experience. Real Review Summary: Is it worth staying? ✅ Reasons to recommend - Family-friendly: complete children’s supplies, fun little dolphin playground, plant treasure hunt activities, and water park let kids play freely and free parents’ hands; - Prime location: situated in the prime spot on Huandao Road, only 15-20 minutes by car to Zengcuoan, Gulangyu Ferry Terminal, and Xiamen University, making travel convenient. ⚠️ Pitfall warnings - Be cautious choosing low floors in the main building: low-floor rooms do have mildew smell issues, affecting comfort; - Extra charges for accessories: the hotel charges high rental fees for swim rings, and outdoor mini trains and pony carts now also require additional fees. Parents should prepare in advance. Overall rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5) "Old but not broken, service makes up" is the essence of Haiyue Villa — suitable for families who prioritize family services over new luxury hardware. If you stay during the off-season at a low price and enjoy a room upgrade, it’s definitely worth it; if staying at full price, lower your expectations for the facilities to have a more pleasant vacation experience~

Summer in Xiamen, with gentle sea breezes and bright sunshine, we took the kids to the well-established resort hotel Haiyue Villa for a three-day, two-night family trip. This journey was full of surprises and some disappointments. The room upgrade and thoughtful family services left a deep impression, but the aging facilities cannot be ignored. Below is a detailed real stay record to provide reference for parents planning trips with children. Day 1: Unexpected Suite Upgrade & First Exploration of the Hotel "Multiple Level Upgrade" Surprise: Originally booked a basic garden view large room, but the front desk directly upgraded us to a refined suite in the main building. This unexpected delight filled the entire family trip with anticipation. The suite features a separate living room, walk-in closet, and balcony, with spacious and comfortable space. The minibar was stocked with 8 bottles of drinks, and the welcome fruit plate was fresh, full, and varied. The kids happily started eating right away. However, the balcony on the lower floor was blocked by lush greenery, so the full sea view was not visible, which was a bit disappointing. - Thoughtful Children's Amenities: The hotel’s family services were very considerate, proactively providing children's slippers, bathrobes, and a Delsey brand toothbrush set, along with a fun treasure hunt map. After receiving the map, the kids eagerly started their plant check-in journey to redeem their favorite gifts, creating a strong parent-child interaction. - Signs of Aging Facilities: - The living room has an irregular triangular layout with small windows, resulting in average lighting and a somewhat dim interior. - The scenic bathtub is small in size; it feels a bit cramped for adults to soak, but it’s just right for kids to splash and play, and they had a great time in the tub. - The main bathroom has a single basin design and lacks a smart toilet, making it less convenient to use. Day 2: Garden Pool Fun & Dining Highlights and Lowlights - The Environment is the Biggest Highlight: - The hotel boasts a massive 500,000㎡ garden, comparable to a botanical garden, with 20,000 rare trees planted. The summer garden is lush and green with fresh and pleasant air. Walking with the kids through the garden to admire various plants and flowers allows you to enjoy nature’s beauty and learn about plants. A 10-minute walk through an underground passage leads to Huangcuo Beach, where the fine sand, fewer crowds, and beautiful scenery let kids freely build sandcastles and splash in the waves, enjoying the summer seaside fun. - 18 Pools to Choose From: Outdoor irregular-shaped pools, infinity pools, indoor heated pools, and more, offering a variety of styles to meet different needs. We tested a poolside room where you can step directly into the pool from the door. The kids excitedly jumped in and played freely in the water, cooling off and having endless fun. - Dining Experience is Average: - Breakfast Perks: Minnan specialty snacks like misua (thin wheat noodles), peanut soup, and satay noodles were authentic and delicious with a wide variety. There was also a dedicated baby food station, but the baby food tasted quite ordinary, and the kids lost interest after a few bites. - Dinner Disappointment: The ¥280 per person buffet dinner was not cost-effective, with dishes lacking distinctiveness and limited variety. Parents are recommended to order takeout or dine outside the hotel for more delicious options. Day 3: Service Highlights & Strong Sense of Aging - Service Details Win Favor: - The concierge’s electric cart shuttle service was quick to respond, making it easy to take the kids to the Botanical Garden Water Area for check-ins. There were plenty of shuttle options for the round trip, making travel very convenient. - The children’s playground is well-equipped with various play facilities, allowing kids to release their energy fully. They can also make friends with peers here, while adults can relax and enjoy a moment of peace. - Concentrated Complaints About Aging Facilities: - The main building opened in 2009, and due to long-term high occupancy, the aging of facilities is quite prominent. There was a slight mildew smell in the room, which affected the overall living experience. Real Review Summary: Is It Worth Staying? ✅ Reasons to Recommend - Family-Friendly: The hotel is equipped with complete children’s supplies and offers rich family activities such as the Little Dolphin Playground, Plant Treasure Hunt, and Water Park, allowing kids to play freely and parents to relax; - Excellent Location: Located in the core area of Huandao Road, it takes only 15-20 minutes by car to popular attractions like Zengcuoan, Gulangyu Ferry Terminal, and Xiamen University, making travel convenient. ⚠️ Pitfall Avoidance Tips - Be Cautious Choosing Low Floors in the Main Building: Low-floor rooms are blocked by greenery, have poor lighting, and a mildew smell issue. It is recommended to choose higher-floor rooms; - Extra Charges for Accessories: The hotel charges high rental fees for swim rings, and outdoor activities like the small train and pony cart also require additional fees. Parents are advised to prepare related items in advance. Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5) "Old but not broken, service makes up" is the core characteristic of Haiyue Villa — suitable for families who value family services more than hardware facilities. If you stay during the off-season at a low price and enjoy a room upgrade, it’s definitely worth a try; if staying at full price, it’s best to lower expectations for the facilities to better enjoy your vacation time~
