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.

Gulangyu Island Photos: Trip Moments
I just came back from Xiamen, and it was fantastic! Let me share my genuine feelings with you🌦️Weather Notice: The temperature in March and April is quite comfortable, but there are many rainy days. Friends who come to Xiamen should be mentally prepared. 🏨Accommodation Recommendation: I suggest staying on Xiamen Island, especially in hotels from the train station to Zhongshan Road, which are more convenient for travel. It's best to choose hotels near the subway, as most of the scenic spots in Xiamen are on the island. 🚆Transportation Strategy: If you take a high-speed train to Xiamen, it is recommended to get off at 'Xiamen Station', which is more convenient as it's in the city center. If you get off at 'Xiamen North', you can take a bus or subway line 1 to the island. Gaoqi Airport is also on the island, and you can take a bus or airport shuttle after leaving the airport. 🍜Food Recommendation: Xiamen is mainly known for its Minnan cuisine, snacks, and seafood. The food in Xiamen is relatively sweet and light, which may not be suitable for those who like spicy food. There are particularly many taro-based dishes (for specific food recommendations, please see my food guide). 🌊Attractions Recommendation: Actually, the main reason to visit Xiamen is to see the sea. The weather is very important for sea viewing; if the weather is good, the sea will be very blue and beautiful. Below are the places I think you must visit: Huangcuo Beach - Wan Yue Po, Health Trail Linhai Line, Pearl Bay - Zengcuo'an Music Square, Jiahe Park - Ten-mile Long Embankment - Jimei School Village, Shangli Reservoir, Guanyinshan Beach, Zhonggu Cableway, Shapowei - Twin Towers - Yanwu Bridge. 🏝️Gulangyu, remember to buy tickets in advance, and it is recommended to reserve a whole day for it. The island is suitable for leisurely strolls. For strategies about Gulangyu, you can see the introduction on my homepage. ⚠️Points to Avoid: The specialty stores on Zhongshan Road are traps, and it is not recommended to buy anything there; There are many rip-offs in the Zengcuo'an commercial street, most of which are not delicious, really do not go there to eat; the homestays in Zengcuo'an mostly do not match the pictures at all, it is really not recommended to stay in homestays; Do not trust the so-called native guides or taxi drivers on the street, they are deceivers; many seafood vendors in the Eighth Market will rip you off, short-weigh or switch products, be very careful when eating seafood, it is recommended to reweigh it at the market entrance; Do not drive by yourself, as parking is hard to find in Xiamen and it is very congested during holidays. If you are driving to Xiamen, it is more convenient to park your car at the hotel and take a taxi or subway. 🗺️Travel Route: Day1: Arrive in Xiamen ➡️ Eighth Market ➡️ Zhongshan Road; Day2: Nanputuo ➡️ Shapowei ➡️ Xiamen University White City ➡️ Pearl Bay ➡️ Music Square ➡️ Xitou Xia ➡️ Huangcuo Beach ➡️ Yefengzhai ➡️ Guanyinshan (all on the Island Ring Road); Day3: One-day tour of Gulangyu; Day4: Zhonggu Cableway ➡️ Botanical Garden ➡️ Health Trail Linhai Line; Day5: Ten-mile Long Embankment ➡️ Dragon Boat Pool ➡️ Jiahe Park ➡️ Jimei Dasha ➡️ Shigu Road.

Xiamen 3-day 2-night travel guide suggestions to bookmarkSharing my tips for a 3-day 2-night trip to Xiamen, for friends who are thinking of going there soon🌟 ✈️Travel - Cost 1600💰(round trip) ◾️I left from Chengdu at the end of June, and the round-trip airfare was reasonable, but it might be a bit more expensive now due to the summer holidays 🏨Accommodation - Cost 1500💰(two nights) ◾️I stayed at the Ruiyi Hotel, which is close to Gulangyu Island. I chose a sea-view room, and the scenery was indeed nice with good value for money. The hotel was very popular, the only downside was that check-in was only available after 3 pm, so I had to wait half a day at the hotel, and to get takeout, I had to go to the parking lot at the back 🍽️Dining - Cost 1750💰(three days) ◾️Tianjie Fu Seafood Stall - 300💰: A must-visit restaurant, the place is small but the taste is really good, the seafood is fresh, and it's good value for money. I recommend the seafood roll and oyster pancake ◾️Zuiyi No.1 Seafood Stall - 750💰: Another must-visit restaurant, it seems to be more popular than Tianjie Fu, with a richer menu. Every dish is good, I recommend the lemon crab and ginger duck, but the spicy frog is just so-so ◾️Tangyan · Old Xiamen Private Kitchen - 350💰: A must-visit restaurant, featured in 'The Taste', many celebrities have dined here. I really recommend their yellow croaker with vermicelli, even as someone who doesn't like fish, I found it delicious. The soup is very fresh, and the crispy taro duck is also good (Zhao Lusi loves it too) ◾️Lychee Couple · Seafood Private Kitchen - 350💰: This one leans more towards private kitchen style, with a variety of dishes and stronger flavors. The cold fish belly is very tasty, and the pork bone tea is also good. Honestly, the number one ranked golden soup seafood stew was just average 🏝️Attractions - Cost 190💰(Gulangyu ferry ticket + attractions) ◾️Shapowei: A trendy spot for taking photos, with many stalls selling trinkets. There are some popular photo spots so it's quite crowded. Taking the elevator, you can take pictures at the Shapowei rainbow wall (you must muster the courage to take photos, as everyone below is watching you) ◾️Gulangyu: Buy ferry tickets in advance on 'Yu Jian Xiamen'. I bought a luxury boat VIP cabin, which was really comfortable on the way there, with no need to queue for security checks and direct access to the lounge with staff reception. The VIP cabin is comfortable, but the return trip was on a regular boat. To be honest, Xiamen is too hot, and it's really hard to walk around the island. I ended up paying 50 for a sightseeing car ◾️Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street: It's like many cities' snack and shopping streets, nice to stroll around, but the food is just so-so ✅Conclusion Overall, Xiamen is a very suitable city for travel. If it doesn't rain, the scenery is really beautiful, the sky is very blue, but it's a bit hot recently. The locals are also very warm and hospitable. Chatting with many locals, everyone seems very nice. The food tastes are acceptable, and I will definitely go again if I have the chance, to visit other attractions that I didn't get to check outjasper_24353

Gulangyu "A Relative Stillness of an Island"It's not my first time to Xiamen, but it is my first time setting foot on Gulangyu. Only when I truly stepped onto this small island did I understand that it's different from the impressions I had before. There are no modern means of transportation; the way of getting around the island goes back to a leisurely and slow pace on foot, with the occasional rumbling of the ferry and the sound of waves hitting the shore heard in the background. A local friend led the way through the less crowded alleys, the residential areas are full of life, and the occasional 'getting lost' was a pleasant surprise. Every few steps, you could encounter cats that are not shy and exude a clean aura, and by chance, I overheard a few stories behind the architecture from elementary school students on a study trip. The scattered international architecture on the island still has its own charm, each brick and tile accumulating a profound cultural heritage. Time has left its mark here, yet it has formed a kind of 'relative stillness' of ease. The early mornings and late nights belonging to the island are even more leisurely and unhurried. Passing through the paths, staying in a century-old chapel deep within the island, leaning against a boulder. The ancient keys and wooden furniture convey the eternity of time, while the attic roof and the low-saturated cement brick walls give a warm and simple feeling of repairing the old as old. Steep rocks and ancient banyans wrap the outdoor stone platform, the natural setting here is silent yet perfectly integrated, a tranquil corner that is indifferent to time. On the island, the deeper you go, the slower time seems to pass.BRISTOL CHRISTIAN

It definitely ranks at the top of the list of the ten most popular island destinations in China! Therefore, most people think that the expenses for Gulangyu Island are high, so they just rush to check it off their list and leave. In fact, as long as you avoid the peak tourist season, you can enjoy an ultra-low budget! 1. Transportation budget: There are express buses directly from Xiamen North Station, Xiamen Station, and Xiamen Airport to the Xiamen Cruise Terminal, with a fare of 5 yuan. The ferry ticket price from Xiamen Cruise Terminal to Gulangyu Island is 35 yuan (round trip). There are no vehicles on Gulangyu Island, so there is no transportation budget on the island.

During the 3 days on the island, there are 3 breakfasts and 6 main meals. The average breakfast on Gulangyu Island is 30 yuan per day, and the average meal is 120 yuan per meal. The dining budget is 3×30 yuan+6×120 yuan=810 yuan. The total budget for a 3-day, 2-night trip on Gulangyu Island is 45 yuan+331 yuan+396 yuan+810 yuan=1582 yuan.SCARLET COLE

Xiamen Off-the-Beaten-Path | Gulangyu Catholic Church| Gulangyu Catholic Church. Atop the Deer Reef on Gulangyu Island, there stands a white building that is quite eye-catching. It is the Gulangyu Catholic Church, which is not only one of the core elements of the World Cultural Heritage but also a must-visit spot for tourists to Gulangyu. The entire church is dominated by Gothic spires, with pointed arches and windows, and even the facade decorations, door mullions, and openwork parapets are all pointed, making it particularly distinctive. The church faces northwest and southeast, with a building area of 232 square meters, and is constructed of brick, stone, and wood. The layout is square at the front, rectangular in the middle, and semicircular at the back. The front part is the bell tower, which has three floors: the entrance on the first floor, the hymn floor on the second, and the bell tower on the third. It is also a very niche place, great for strolling and taking photos, with a lot of character, especially the main door of the church, which is very photogenic~ When you come to Gulangyu, why not visit here for a walk, take some photos, it's quiet and off-the-beaten-path, very photogenic, highly recommended~ 💁 Name: 📍 Address: No. 34, Lujiao Road, Gulangyu, XiamenWanderlustAbroad_51

Very worth visiting, it is worth buying. The price of the package is favorable, and all attractions can be visited. When I arrived at Sunlight Rock, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many tourists. There is a Sunlight Rock Temple and a Master of the Law Memorial Park. The most worth seeing is a towering granite, which is the highest point of Gulangyu Island, at an altitude of 92.7 meters. Because the top can only accommodate about 30 people, we need to queue up to go up. We arrived at the top of the rock after ten minutes of rowing. Under the sunset, the whole Gulangyu Island has a panoramic view. The red roofs of various small buildings scattered throughout the island, and the opposite side of the high-rise buildings in stark contrast.
