Xiamen's Gulangyu Island is a romantic and charming island! I highly recommend everyone to go and play here, you won't be disappointed!
Gulangyu Island is an area of 1The 87-square-kilometer island, opposite Xiamen Island across the Lujiang River, is known as the "Garden of the Sea", "International Architecture Exhibition", "Piano Island" and "Island of *". There is no hustle and bustle of cars and horses on the island, and birds and flowers are everywhere, like a bright "pearl on the sea", embedded in the blue sea and green waves of Xiamen Bay. The main attractions on the island are Sunshine Rock, Shuzhuang Garden, Haoyue Garden, Piano Museum, Organ Museum, Organ Art Center, Underwater World, Yu Garden, etc.
In addition, the sandy beach is also a highlight of Gulangyu Island. It was so comfortable to walk barefoot on the beach and feel the sea breeze and sun. When the sun sets, the whole island is dyed golden yellow, and it is so good to sit here and enjoy it!
There are plenty of foodies, shops and cafes on the island to stop by, take photos and enjoy a slow time.
In terms of transportation, you can take a ferry from Xiamen city to Gulangyu. The boat ride is about 20 minutes which is convenient.
Although Gulangyu Island is small but very beautiful, it is worth your special trip here to check in.
