Lesser-Known Attractions in Gulangyu: A Leisurely Guide to Moonlight Rock.

Visitors to Gulangyu Island typically flock to the famous Sunlight Rock, but few know that there is also a Moonlight Rock on the island; compared to the bustling Sunlight Rock, most locals prefer the latter. From a viewing perspective, 'Sun' and 'Moon' are located on opposite sides of the island, both offering embraces of the seascape and the entire coastline. Moonlight Rock is free to visit all year round, attracting fewer crowds, and sometimes it's chosen as a picturesque spot for personal photoshoots. The most anticipated moment is at dusk when climbing Moonlight Rock allows for the viewing of a stunning sunset, providing a perfect ending to a day's exploration! Since it's hard to find a specific location on the map, here's a guide for you: 1. Navigate to Bi Mountain Cave, then head towards the summit, passing by Bi Mountain Park and Chuncao Hall, continue up the stone steps, and you'll reach the top; you can also ask the friendly residents along the way. 2. Since the protective measures on Moonlight Rock are quite basic, with the rock only surrounded by iron chains, it is recommended to visit during the day or in the evening when there is sufficient light.
