Historic Gulangyu Island ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ˜

Gulangyou its a tiny (only 2 km2), pretty island off the coast of Xiamen in Fujian Province. ๐Ÿ Especially famous for its historic architectural heritage and its diverse subtropical nature, the island is entirely pedestrian zone! ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿšถ No cars, motorbikes or even bikes are allowed... That makes it extremely enjoyable to visit! The island hosts hundreds of beautiful colonial style buildings over a century old and several museums... ๐Ÿ˜ That's why Gulangyu holds the reputation of "Exhibition of the Worldโ€™s Architecture" and has been enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ๐Ÿ› ~~~ Recommended Visiting time: 1 - 2 days Tickets: The island is free, however some of the attractions on the island have entrance ticket. Where to stay: Yunji Hotel, conveniently located in the middle of the island, in a beautiful historic building and close to many restaurants. What to do: Wonder around aimlessly and taste some local seafood dishes! And if it's summer, check out the beach! ๐Ÿ– #gulangyu #xiamen #unescoworldheritage #fujianprovince
