Explore Gulangyu Island, a romantic day trip!

🎉Friends! Today I want to share with you a great island tour route 😃 🌅At 7:30 in the morning, we landed on the island at Sanqiutian Pier! Remember to grab the boat ticket from "Yujian Xiamen" three days in advance😜. Here we recommend you to choose the 35 yuan economy class, which includes round-trip tickets👍. As soon as you get ashore, wow 😍, you will be amazed by the slope surrounded by bougainvillea. That is the most beautiful corner! Let’s take some empty shots quickly before the main group arrives📸. I recommend that you wear a light-colored dress with a straw bag to create a French vibe. That feeling is simply amazing😎! Next is the must-visit route: The most beautiful corner → Organ Museum (opens at 8:30) → Longtou Road Vegetable Market (full of local flavor) → Sunlight Rock (few people before 10 o'clock, just right to enjoy the beautiful scenery) → Shuzhuang Garden → Gangzai Back Beach → Haoyue Garden → Zheng Chenggong Statue 🍜At 11:30, it’s time for the Longtou Road food binge😋! ▫️There is a Ye family glutinous rice cake grandpa pushing a retro cart to make it on the spot, it looks super tempting 😍; ▫️Lin Kee Fish Balls are so chewy that you can play ping-pong balls. Take a bite and you will find it full of deliciousness💥; ▫️The Minnan hot sauce of Shenjia Rice Noodle Rolls is the soul of the dish. It tastes so good🤩; ▫️Be sure to add saponin rice to Houshenglin sweet soup, the taste is so rich that you can't stop eating it🥳. Yes, we have to avoid those Internet celebrity stores crowded with tourists😎, and walk deeper into the market, where you can see grandmas peeling freshly-peeled earthworm jelly, served with yellow mustard. This is the traditional way of eating it in old Xiamen👍. 🌿At 13:00 in the afternoon, we also have a secret route that avoids the crowds. Are you looking forward to it?😃 🎉Hey, friends! Today I want to share with you an awesome place 🎊! After coming out of the Bishan Cave, it became quiet instantly😜. At this time, navigate to "Moonlight Rock" and you will unlock a free viewing platform👏! Here, you can overlook the red roofs and the waves 🌊, and the key point is, you don’t need to buy a ticket 😏! Walking along the road, you will pass by the abandoned clock tower and Chuncaotang 🏰. The iron window frames wrapped with firecracker flowers really look like an oil painting sealed by time, so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it 😍! ⛵It’s 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and we came to Shuzhuang Garden, where there is an advanced way to play 😎! Don’t go to the Piano Museum and queue up there 🙅! Going deeper into the Twelve Caves Rockery, you will find a wonderful frame that can frame the sea and sky. It is simply amazing👍! Remember to bring a notebook with you📝, there are cliff carvings from 1903 at the entrance of Dieshishan Cave, you can make rubbings of them🤩! 🌅At 5:30 in the evening, let’s go to Gangzai Hou Beach to chase the sunset🥳! I recommend you bring a scarf as a photo prop. When the tide is low, follow the local aunt to dig clams. It feels super relaxing! Facing the sea, walk 200 meters to the right, wow 😎, the Haicang Bridge and the Twin Towers will form a golden coastline. At this time, have a cup of Zhang Sanfeng milk tea, and pair it with pineapple cakes, it is simply a delicacy on earth 😋! ✨There is also a hidden easter egg here😉! There are no motor vehicles on the island, so wearing soft-soled shoes is much more important than appearance 😜! Look for brick walls with the "World Heritage Logo" and collect 9 of them to take photos. Maybe you can even summon a dragon 🐉! The doorplates of the former consulates contain the code of the year of construction. Isn’t it interesting? After 6pm, the return boat will dock directly at Zhongshan Road Pier🚢. 💡I have a little secret tip to tell you😃! Switch your phone map to 3D mode, it will be easier to find the way📲! Also, be sure to bring mosquito repellent🦟, the Aedes mosquitoes under the banyan tree are super poisonous, be sure not to get bitten😅! Hey, you know what? It’s so special to use a stamp book to go to the post office to get a commemorative stamp! 😍 Imagine holding that little notebook, uniquely marked with all kinds of beautiful commemorative stamps, with every page filled with memories. 📕✨ This is definitely a cool idea to make your collection even more unique! 🎉 Whether you keep it for yourself or give it to a friend, it can bring you full of joy and surprise! 🎁💖#CtripTravelCustomization
