Sunsets in Gulangyu | Dreamlike Orange Sea

| Dreamlike Orange Sea. Encountering an orange sea-like sunset in Gulangyu is truly an extremely romantic experience 🌅 🌅Experience Process 1. Purchase Tickets and Board the Island: Purchase ferry tickets in advance on the "Yu Jian Xiamen" WeChat official account. Ordinary tickets are CNY 35 (round trip). It is recommended to choose the Xiamen-Gulangyu Ferry Terminal - Sanqiutian Terminal route, which is close to various sunset viewing spots after disembarking. 2. Daytime Stroll: After boarding the island, you can first stroll around Gulangyu's characteristic attractions, such as Sunny Wall, Most Beautiful Corner, and Sunlight Rock, to feel the artistic atmosphere of Gulangyu. 3. Go to the Viewing Point: Search for "Tide Table Elf" in the mini program in advance to understand the sunset time of the day, and go to the viewing point 1–2 hours before sunset. Sunlight Rock is the highest point of Gulangyu, with a great view overlooking the entire island and the sea; Gangzaihou Beach is at the foot of Sunlight Rock, where you can see the sunset shining on the sea up close, and the lighthouse and the sunset in the same frame make for great photos; Moonlight Rock is the second highest point, with fewer people and beautiful scenery, and you can also see the Twin Towers in the distance. 4. Enjoy the Sunset: Find the best spot, wait quietly for the sunset, watch the sun slowly set, the sky is dyed orange-red, and freeze this beautiful moment. 💖Experience Feeling When the afterglow of the sunset shines on your body, the whole world is plated with a layer of gentle gold. On Sunlight Rock, overlooking the entire Gulangyu and the vast sea, the magnificent scenery makes people feel broad-minded; on Gangzaihou Beach, the waves gently pat the beach, watching the sun sink into the sea little by little, and feeling this tranquility and beauty with the people around you is really incomparably romantic; although Moonlight Rock is niche, you can enjoy the undisturbed sunset time here, and you can also take the Twin Towers and the sunset into your eyes at the same time, which is really amazing! 📷Required Equipment 1. Camera: Whether it is a professional camera or a mobile phone, you can record this beautiful moment. Remember to fully charge it in advance or bring a power bank. 2. Sunglasses: The sun is still dazzling at sunset. Wearing sunglasses can protect your eyes and create a stylish photo. 3. Coat: The sea breeze is strong, and the temperature will drop after sunset. Bring a coat to avoid catching a cold. ⚠️Precautions 1. Time Control: Sunlight Rock stops admission at 17:30. If you want to watch the sunset here, go early to avoid missing the best viewing time. 2. Safety Issues: The reefs on the beach are slippery, and there are many barnacles and oyster shells. Be sure to pay attention to safety when walking and do not stay in dangerous areas. 3. Weather Conditions: Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a sunny day to go, so that you have a greater chance of seeing the beautiful sunset. 4. Peak Crowds: Sunset is a popular time, and there may be many people at the viewing point. Find a good spot in advance and enjoy the view in a civilized manner. Come to Gulangyu for a sunset date 💕
