Xiamen Gulangyu Island | Sunset Romance

| Sunset Romance. 🌊Gulangyu Island is a small island next to Xiamen, surrounded by the sea, quiet and artistic. You don't have to deliberately look for a place to watch the sunset, just find a west-facing seaside or high ground to enjoy it! ⛵️Standing by the sea, you can see the sun slowly sinking below the sea level, like a "salted egg yolk" soaking in the water, the sea sparkling. 🏝️There are many century-old villas and banyan trees on the island. When the setting sun shines, the red brick walls turn orange-red, and the shadows of the trees are mottled, like a retro filter. 🌅At sunset, the sky changes from golden yellow to pinkish purple to deep blue. If you're lucky, you can also see "fiery clouds," like orange soda overturned in the sky. Chasing the sunset in Xiamen is truly healing! Sharing a few 📷 photogenic spots No professional equipment needed, your phone can also capture the atmosphere Save this list and take a spontaneous trip~ 📍Shili Changdi (Ten Mile Long Embankment) The double impact of the sea train + orange-pink sunset! The atmosphere is perfect when the train passes by, remember to turn on the live mode~ 📍Gulangyu Ferry Terminal Sit by the sea and watch the sun fall into the orange sea! The sparkling sea surface is like sprinkled with gold leaf, breathtakingly beautiful! 📍Huan Dao Road (Island Ring Road) A sunset avenue hidden by locals! Beach/palm trees/twin towers in the same frame, Xiamen's landmark sunset shooting spot 📍Jian Kang Bu Dao Lin Hai Xian (Forest Trail of the Healthy Trail) The elevated walkway comes with a God's perspective! Overlooking the entire bay's gradient color, a drone alternative spot get✓ ⛰️Must-choose for those who love heights Hongshan Park Pavilion/Sunlight Rock Summit The commanding heights offer a 360° panoramic view of the sunset, photography masters are all here! 🌅Best Viewing Time🌅 【Flexible Viewing Based on Weather】 The sunset time is different every day! It is recommended that you check the weather app on your phone in advance to determine the exact time of the day~ For example🌰: In winter, the sunset is usually between 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm, and the sunset glow will disappear before 6 pm at the latest, so be sure to plan ahead! 【Golden Arrival Time】 Important❗It is recommended to arrive half an hour earlier than sunset time! This way you can: ✅Watch the sun slowly sink into the sea level ✅Capture the whole process of the sky changing from golden yellow to pinkish purple ✅Find the perfect photo spot (it's really crowded if you go late) 💡Reminder: The temperature drops very quickly at the seaside at night, so it's better to bring an extra piece of clothing than to freeze! After all, shrinking your neck and stomping your feet to watch the sunset really affects the romantic experience~
