The shape is like a cruise ship🚢, which indicates success in the imperial examination 2️⃣ Organ Art Center The largest century-old organ in Asia, the live performance is very shocking! Follow the official account "Xiamen Gulangyu Cultural Tourism Center" 🆓 to make a free admission reservation! Otherwise you can only buy a combined ticket for 💰90 yuan 3️⃣ Gulangyu Catholic Church (No. 34, Lujiao Road) Gothic-style building! Many people take wedding photos here 4️⃣Haoyue Garden It is a Ming Dynasty architectural style, where you can see the statue of Zheng Chenggong up close 5️⃣Dadeji Bathhouse The best place to take photos with the Twin Towers! The trees and rocks complement each other! Especially suitable for taking portraits! 6️⃣Shuzhuang Garden Known as the Suzhou Garden on the Sea! The Twelve Caves and the seaside boardwalk are both great for taking photos! There is also a piano museum inside! 7️⃣ Gangzaihou Beach The sand here is super fine, perfect for playing in the sand! The sea water is also very clean, and the sunset here is unobstructed! 8️⃣ Sunlight Rock You can overlook the entire Gulangyu Island from the top! Best camera position for taking photos! Basically, you cannot enter after 17:30. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the top. There will be a queue on holidays, which may take one or two hours! 9️⃣Meihua Beach There is a special stone called "Gulang Stone", which is also suitable for watching the sunset🌄 🔟Lijiazhuang (No. 42, Zhangzhou Road) A low-key photo spot that only locals know! Overlooking Gulangyu Island! Just go in and walk up the stairs in less than five minutes! If you can't walk but want to go to Shuzhuang Garden and Sunlight Rock, you can come here! ps: 🙅🙅Don’t go! Wax museum! Centennial Gulangyu! Underwater world! 🥹🥹The special forces route is recommended to depart in the morning, and the lazy route is recommended to depart from the pier at around 14:00 in the afternoon and return at around 17:30. You can watch the sunset on the return boat, and the sea view is the bluest and most beautiful around 15:30! Then don’t go to Gulangyu Island if it’s cloudy or rainy, and just give up all the beach trips…
