0 Hiking! Taxi to 3 Instagrammable Spots, a Must-Go for Lazy People

The Xiamen Mountain and Sea Walkway is 17.9 km long. Too tired to hike? This guide focuses on "taxi + elevator + walking", no rushing, no sore legs, free to switch scenes, and easily unlock the 3 most beautiful spots of the Mountain and Sea Walkway! A must-have for lazy people, photography enthusiasts, and families with kids 👇 🌟 Core Route: Taxi + Elevator + Walk, Easy to Explore 1️⃣ Starting Point: Sunset Cafe → Wanshi Canghai (Big Gluten) Taxi to 📍"Sunset Cafe" or 📍"Wanshi Canghai". You will see the spiral white walkway "Big Gluten" when you get off the taxi. How to enjoy: ✅ Take a panoramic photo of Big Gluten first! The spiral walkway is shaped like a "giant gluten", and the pure white steel structure forms a strong visual contrast with the mountains and forests. Shoot the spiral curve and the lawn in the same frame from the middle layer of the walkway; use a telephoto lens to bring the Twin Towers and the walkway closer to form a misplaced composition. ✅ Take the elevator directly to the highest point of the walkway (the elevator is at the bottom of Big Gluten), and walk around the walkway in the opposite direction after reaching the top to feel the shock of aerial viewing. 2️⃣ Second Stop: Shangli Reservoir Hidden Spot: After getting off the elevator of Big Gluten, walk 5 minutes along the signs to the reservoir viewing platform. You can take photos with a sense of wonderland without entering the park. Photography Tips: ✅ Take a low-angle shot of the lawn reflection, or a drone aerial shot of the "Xiamen version of Windows wallpaper". ✅ Atmosphere: The blue reservoir + green lawn, as if you are in a Swiss postcard. It is recommended to wear a light-colored long dress and run to capture the moment. 3️⃣ Final Stop: Pan Gui Pagoda (Sunset Ceiling by the Sea) Taxi to 📍"Sky High Hotel", walk 2 minutes to Linhai Line D24 entrance, take the elevator directly to the 3rd floor, and walk 3 minutes to Pan Gui Pagoda. ✅ Sunset Time: Arrive 1 hour in advance. The glass viewing platform has a 270° panoramic sea view. The orange sea + Kinmen Island are in the same frame, and the backlight silhouette is absolutely beautiful. ✅ Design Aesthetics: The sailboat-shaped glass viewing platform is suspended between the mountains and the sea. The tower is gilded at sunset. It is recommended to take a wide-angle shot of the panoramic view. ✅ Night View: The walkway lights are on after 18:00. Take photos of the coastline and city lights intertwined in the blue hour. 🚖 Lazy-Friendly Transportation Tips Seamless Connection: Wanshi Canghai → Pan Gui Pagoda is about 15 minutes by taxi, and there is no strenuous walking along the way. Anti-Pit Guide: ⚠️ The light is best in the Wanshi Canghai section after 3pm, avoid the top light at noon; ⚠️ The wind is strong at Pan Gui Pagoda. It is easier to take photos in a flowing long dress, but pay attention to keep warm.
