Gulangyu Summer Guide, Unlock Cool Island Play!

On the beach on the southwest side, there is a rock over two meters high with a cave in it. Whenever the 🌊 waves hit the rocks, the seaside will emit a sound similar to the beating of wave drums, hence this isolated island was named Gulangyu. ✨ Walking along the leisurely slope, you will find a lush ivy 🌿 winding between the stone carvings and iron gates full of historical charm, and with a turn, seagulls accompany the waves in the distance. 🐚 🎈 Transportation Information Ferry 🚢: Gulangyu is currently only accessible by ferry, and tickets can be purchased in advance through the mini-program "Yujian Xiamen".
