Sunlight Rock Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Sunlight Rock is formed by two boulders standing side by side. The rock is the peak of Gulangyu Island and provides an excellent view of Gulangyu Island. From there, you can see all of Gulangyu Island from end to end and the cityscape of Xiamen. Take a look around; the surrounding scenery is beautiful. If you come in the evening, there are few tourists, and you’ll be able to enjoy a stunning sunset and the scenery.

Other visitors' reviews of Sunlight Rock
Show More ReviewsFollowing the textbook, we climbed Sunlight Rock ⛰️. Legend has it that Zheng Chenggong once stationed troops here and, seeing that the scenery here surpassed that of Nikko Mountain in Japan, named it "Sunlight Rock". The inscriptions on the cliff face, such as "Gulang Cave" and "First in Lujiang", tell a story of a hundred years. With the kids, we took a walk through the winds of history. A trip to Xiamen is incomplete without climbing Sunlight Rock.
