Xiamen Gulangyu Island hassle-free travel guide

🤩Must-see itinerary recommendations🤩 1️⃣Classic scenic spot walking tour 8:00 Take a boat to the island. Book your ferry ticket 1 day in advance (recommended to book earlier during peak season!) After arriving on the island, directly scan your ID card to enter the scenic spot (super smooth, no queuing required), and head straight to Sunlight Rock. There are fewer people and it's cooler in the morning. Climb to the top to overlook the red tiles and blue sea of the entire island. 10:00 Visit Shuzhuang Garden, a seaside garden + piano museum. Don't miss the popular photo spot at the corner! 12:30 Longtou Road Snack Street: Satay noodles, oyster omelets, and sticky rice cakes. Enjoy a feast for around 30 yuan per person! 14:00 Visit Haoyue Garden to see the statue of Zheng Chenggong and listen to the locals tell the legend of "suppressing typhoons" (free for annual pass holders, included in the combined ticket). 16:00 Visit the Organ Museum and experience the magnificence of centuries-old musical instruments. 2️⃣Unique experiences + night tour highlights 9:00 Use your card for free admission to the Underwater World and see the dreamy jellyfish (a must-see for families with children). 11:00 Explore the Gulangyu Foreign Cultural Relics Museum of the Palace Museum, a delight for antique lovers. Afterwards, stroll around the island, savoring the local delicacies. 19:30 Enjoy a Lujiang River night cruise, featuring retro performances on board + stunning night views. Share your photos on social media and get ready for a flood of inquiries! ❤️Friendly reminders There are no motor vehicles on the island, so wear comfortable shoes. The stone roads + slopes can be tiring. Luggage storage at the pier → hotel, saves you the trouble of dragging your suitcase uphill (order through the mini program, 15 yuan for large items)
