The ticket for the morning of the next day can also be booked before night, which is very convenient and fast. It is relatively reliable to have a manual call back to confirm the time and boarding location. The second time on the director, this time is a business trip alone, time is free, and the experience is good.

Not to miss attraction in Xiamen!Not only because of being Unesco World Heritage, but Gulangyu Island is plenty of nice architecture, history, nice views and wonderful beaches and streets. Reachable from Xiamen International Ferry Terminal in 20min. The island has two wharfs, one at the east and one at the west. One day visit is is a good idea to get an impression, but I guess in peak season is worth to spend a night and have more time to enjoy the sea and do further sightseeing.Must visit: Beaches, Riguang Cliff with the stunning views and the temple at the top, the parks, the area of former consulates and its buildings. There are many options to eat on the island and buy some local products or souvenirs.

We loved this wonderful island - short trip by ferry. There are so many good food and drinks options, great scenery and some buildings were amazing. You need a few hours to truly enjoy. Beware as some places are pretty steep for older people or those with walking difficulties. a walking / hiking stick is advisable. The tunnel is quite interesting with many people leaving and writing messages on the walls 😊

Xiamen is a cool coastal city in Fujian. Once a treaty port known to the world as Amoy, it retains much of the architecture from that time. The main attraction is Gulangyu, an island just off the coast which was a foreign concession where Europeans and Chinese who'd made fortunes abroad built comfortable villas. There is a short ferry crossing to Gulangyu directly from the Xiamen waterfront but it's only available to Xiamen residents. Tourists must go to the cruiseship terminal to take a significantly pricier and longer ferry. This is annoying, but it's still worth visiting the island. Set aside a whole day to walk around the seawall and visit some of the museums in the main town. #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #xiamen #amoy #gulangyu #seaside #coast #island #historiccallandmark

Xiamen Travel | Gulangyu has more stories than you think, more gameplay In the fate of Hongyi Master and Xiamen, there is a section of the fate of Gulangyu Island. The master has come to Gulangyu twice. Today, in order to commemorate the 139th anniversary of the birth of Hongyi Master, One Round of Mingyue Yaotianxin Hongyi Culture Tour opened in Gulangyu Temple, Gulangyu. Some things will not be done for a lifetime now. Today, 100 people play "Farewell" together in the sunny rock blending in the mountains and the sea, in the sound of "the outside of the pavilion, the ancient road, the grass and the sky" One hundred people cut out a giant Hongyi image together, and hundreds of people listened to the sharing meeting. Together with Hongyis masters, they were the first to see the masters of Hongyi through VR and feel the cultural charm.

In the past summer, Gulangyu seems to have returned to calm overnight. Walk in the stone slab lane, you can finally enjoy the undisturbed, slowly admire the red brick villas of the foreign atmosphere, exquisite door carvings, to recall their past, there are not many unknown stories. From the inner Wowo through the pen mountain cave, to participate in the painter's exhibition of painter Deng Shaobing. At the exit, it is Sany Hall. This Christian church built in 1934 was the stage for many Gulangyu musicians. The Gospel Hall under the Sunlight Rock is also used by the Christian Church for missionary relief, as early as 1901. Huangyan Road downhill, the open green grass is the Ma John Stadium, the old Gulangyu people call it "Fanzi Ball Po", a hundred years ago, here is the football stadium for foreigners and Chinese on Qindao. Probably the earliest football field in China. Along the Zhonghua Road, it is the former Dutch consulate. This Gothic building was built in 1890. It is now the Gulangyu Art Exhibition Hall. The exhibition of Dengs paintings is here. I like Gulangyu, which is so quiet and quiet, stop and go, look at it, and even get it, it is a great thing. Is anyone like me?

The most literary place in Xiamen is here, and it is known as the collective memory of China's Hawaii and old Xiamen. Weekend, let go of the exhaustion of all the work, come to a trip to go, Xiamen is a good choice, the distance of 1 hour is not too far. If you ask Xiamen which attraction will always occupy the C position of the city propaganda film? That must be with Gulangyu outside the Lujiang Strait of Xiamen Peninsula. Gulangyu is definitely one of the most popular places in Xiamen for every holiday. Gulangyu Island, with an area of less than 2 square kilometers, is one of the two major public concessions in China. The foreign consulates, overseas Chinese, bureaucrats and private manors built on Gulangyu Island have a total area of 600,000 square meters and about 1,200 buildings. "Worldwide Architecture Expo", "Sea Garden", "Piano Island" and other reputations.

Introduction

Gulangyu Island is a tiny island located on the estuary of the Chiu-lung River, facing the city of Xiamen. It is a Unesco World Heritage Site that used to be an important window for Sino-foreign exchanges during the 19th and 20th century. The island is a popular attraction for architecture enthusiasts, providing a mixture of different architectural styles including Traditional Southern Fujian Style, Western Classical Revival Style and Veranda Colonial Style. You can hike up the Sun Rock to overlook the whole island, take a walk in the Shuzhuang Garden (including the Piano Museum) which is one of the finest Jiangnan classical gardens, visit the Hao Yue Garden containing architectures from the Ming Dynasty (including a statue of national hero Zheng Chenggong), the organ museum, and the international letter carving art museum.
