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 ReviewsSunlight Rock is a relatively famous paid attraction on Gulangyu Island, and even in Xiamen. It's also featured on the cover of textbooks, and many people climb to the top for photos. It's the highest point on Gulangyu Island, offering panoramic views of the surrounding buildings and coastline; the scenery is quite beautiful. The hill isn't very high, and the climb isn't particularly strenuous. It's worth a visit.
