As an A-level wolf who grew up in Xiamen, living in such a beautiful tourist city, I always want to go out and see different scenery. It’s my first time staying on Gulangyu Island. I feel its beauty with all my heart. It turns out that Gulangyu Island has such a quiet side. Built in 1989, Gulang Villa Hotel is located beside the quiet beach of Neicuoao, with its gate facing Gulang Rock. 🏡Gulang Villa Hotel 📍No. 14, Gusheng Road, Gulangyu Island, Xiamen Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, without the lights of busy traffic, the salty sea breeze seems to be telling the story of this small island. The newly reopened Gulang Villa Hotel is also a chapter in the story. The booked suite is located on the third floor of the Bibo Building. You can see the sea by opening the curtains. The wide view is really amazing. The suite is mainly divided into a living room, bedroom, balcony and bathroom. The hotel has captured the atmosphere just right, and the retro Nanyang-style decoration echoes the hotel's exterior. I especially like this beautiful little balcony, where you can enjoy the sea view and see Sunlight Rock. My friend and I each made a cup of black tea, sat on a small stool and chatted, ate the welcome fruit prepared by the hotel, and watched the sun slowly set, and the sky slowly turned pink and red... Meals: Breakfast: There are both Chinese and Western styles in the buffet style, as well as Minnan snacks. A bowl of satay noodles with pork tendon is a must. Meals: There is a buffet or you can order on the spot. The Minnan snacks such as taro buns, chive boxes, fried noodles and shacha noodles are all delicious. Afternoon tea: The Western pastries were surprisingly good, a bit of a surprise facility: ‍♀️Swimming pool Dining room 🏕Garden ️Tent 🏖️Beach 🏻Children's room Free use of dryers and washing machines ‍♂️Service The check-in experience is good, whether it is dining or shuttle service, there is a feeling of being at home. They are warm and polite. When they walk on the street, they will greet people politely and give directions enthusiastically. transportation The hotel is 400 meters away from Neicuoao Pier. If you go to the island from other piers, electric car pick-up service is also provided as long as you make an appointment in advance. I really like this electric car. It is like walking around the island. The scenery on the island is so beautiful!

I have been to Xiamen so many times and visited Gulangyu Island several times, but this is the first time I have chosen to spend the night on Gulangyu Island. Gulangyu Island is very quiet at night, and the exquisite and diverse international buildings have a unique charm under the night sky. This time we stayed at Gulang Villa Hotel on Gulang Island. 🌟Highlights There is Gulang Rock at the entrance of the hotel, and a natural beach bathing beach outside the hotel. The sea is right outside the hotel. The hotel provides pick-up service to and from Neicuoao Pier, so you don't have to carry your luggage by yourself. As an old villa on Gulangyu Island, with white walls and orange tiles, it has been newly renovated and equipped with complete holiday facilities. It is definitely a great place for leisure and vacation. 🍃Environment The hotel is designed in a distinctive Nanyang style. There is a large garden at the entrance with towering old trees. There are cartoon-shaped decorations under the trees, which makes it look particularly cozy. The spacious and bright lobby, the fusion of modern and traditional elements, and the leisure area for reading all demonstrate high-end elegance. My favorite part is the swimming pool area, which has a strong South Asian style and makes you feel like you have accidentally entered Southeast Asia. We stayed in the Shanhai Suite, which was very large and had a modern and simple design with a touch of elegance. We also thoughtfully prepared a variety of local snacks, and you can drink as much as you want in the minibar. The bedroom has a small terrace where you can enjoy the coastal scenery. It is also nice to sit here and daydream at night, enjoying the sea breeze. 🍴Dining The hotel offers a special ice tea package, so you can enjoy afternoon tea time☕️ The restaurant offers a rich buffet breakfast, and you can also eat delicious satay noodles here.

The 'Heaven on Earth' cradled by the blue sea and waves - Gulangyu Island, nestled in the center of the Xiamen archipelago, surrounded by stars like a moon, away from the mundane world, seems like a fairyland descended to the mortal realm. Gulangyu got its name from the Drum Wave Stone that makes a drumming sound when the tide hits. Xiamen Gulang Villa Hotel is located right behind this magical Drum Wave Stone, with a unique geographical position, capturing the essence of the spirit stone, combining legendary colors, aesthetic architecture, seaside scenery, exotic ambiences, and romantic atmosphere into a harmonious whole, writing unique poetry and distant places. Its external beauty is exquisite, with the hotel's red tiles, clear waters, and green trees reflecting each other's brilliance. Situated on Gulangyu Island, known as the 'Garden on the Sea,' 'World Architecture Expo,' 'Island of Pianos,' 'Island of Music,' etc., the hotel combines the island's classical and artistic beauty. Relying closely on surrounding attractions such as Drum Wave Stone, Sunlight Rock, Shuzhuang Garden, Piano Museum, Bright Moon Garden, Shell Museum, and Egret Tide·Gulangyu Art Academy, it creates a dual static and dynamic beauty, offering both scenic spots and dual-mode landscapes. Here we can leisurely watch the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard, listen to the waves, admire the bright moon on the sea, and engage in swimming pool activities, water games, health cultivation, lawn barbecues, and intellectual activities. The hotel greatly integrates the coastal style, subtropical romantic atmosphere, and unique architectural essence of Gulangyu, meticulously designing rooms with individual styles and themes such as seaside rooms, view rooms, garden rooms, selected rooms, and family rooms, offering a unique lodging experience. Its internal beauty is inherent, with a temperament that is naturally endearing. In the harmonious blend of ancient and modern, Chinese and Western, light and rich styles, it displays unique characteristics. It is a fusion of Southern Fujian architecture and Western architecture, a synthesis of ancient charm and modern fragrance. It is profound yet poetic, grand without losing its exquisite delicacy; sometimes its colors are as rich as oil paintings, sometimes as elegant as ink wash, yet always appropriately intense and naturally interesting; it is like a line of poetry embedded in time, revealing a unique aesthetic and vivid charm. Amidst the collision of multiple cultures and the friction of various styles, it showcases its grandeur and demeanor. Xiamen Gulang Villa Hotel, located in a prime position on the island, is a hotel we must stay at least once when visiting Gulangyu Island. It is a place that allows you to arrive with light, leave with eyes full of stars and the sea, and a heart filled with romance.

Afternoon tea with garden view and sea view. Gulangyu, this romantic and poetic name always makes people yearn for it. 🏰 Walking into Gulang Villa, every corner reveals elegance and nobility, making people instantly immersed in this tranquility and beauty. 💖 The most exciting thing is the afternoon tea with sea view. Or you can sit on the spacious balcony of the villa, with the endless sea in front of you, and the sparkling sea surface glittering charmingly in the sun. The sea breeze blows gently, bringing with it a hint of saltiness and a fresh scent, making people feel relaxed and happy. 🌊 Or sit on the garden lawn, listen to the sea breeze caressing the earth, and watch the grass swaying in the wind. A cup of fragrant afternoon tea, paired with an exquisite dessert, allows people to feel the beauty and tranquility of life while enjoying the delicious food. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing people to calm down, listen to the sound of the waves, and feel the charm of nature. 🍵 The sea view afternoon tea at Gulang Villa is not only a feast for the taste buds, but also a baptism of the soul. Temporarily forget the worries and pressures of life and let your mind truly relax and heal. 💕 If you also yearn for such a life, then come to Gulangyu!

💫 Gulang Villa Hotel, established in 1989, is a place well understood by the old residents of Gulangyu! As a child, I often played here, and I remember having my birthday parties here when I was young. 🏨 This time, I stayed in the Gulang·Mountain and Sea Suite, which features a one-bedroom, one-living room, and one-balcony layout, backed by mountains and facing the sea, with an unbeatable view! The room also thoughtfully provides Xiamen's favorite snacks like mouth-melting pastries, allowing guests to enjoy tea on the balcony or in the living room. 🏝️ The hotel is right next to the beautiful Meihua Beach, and the Gulang Stone opposite is the origin of the name of Gulangyu Island. It's within walking distance to Shuzhuang Garden, Neicuo'ao Wharf, and Lu Chao Art Academy, and there's also an electric car service to and from the wharf. 🏖️ Such a sea-close hotel even hides a Southeast Asian style swimming pool, which is extremely photogenic! The book bar and leisure bar next to the lobby are also great places to relax! 😍 The hotel has its own restaurant, offering a variety of dining options including main meals and afternoon tea, and you can enjoy your food while looking out at the sea, which is sure to put you in a great mood! There's also a large lawn outside, and at night, there's a light show effect. 😊 When visiting Gulangyu, consider staying at the Gulang Villa Hotel to experience the slow life of the Piano Island! 🦆 Duck Duck takes you to stay at 👉 Gulang Villa Hotel 📍 Address: No. 14, Gusheng Road

Shuttle service between the pier and the hotel can be arranged by reservation. Contact the hotel reception in advance to inquire about the departure times. If there are enough guests, they will depart! You can also ask them to pick you up when you arrive at the pier! The hotel breakfast is worth a try! After all, there aren't many breakfast places on the island, and I think the breakfast has become much richer this time. You can enjoy Xiamen noodle paste with lots of oysters and pig's blood, which tastes great. There's also satay noodles, where you can add ingredients as you like, including various pork offal and meatballs, making a full big bowl. I don't know how much it would cost outside. There are both Chinese and Western dishes, as well as Xiamen specialties, such as five-spice rolls, and I even had pig tongue! The desserts are also great, not incredibly amazing but at least not disappointing! Moreover, the dining environment is also fantastic, with a seaside restaurant that's super romantic

💎You should always take a trip to Gulangyu, the Piano Museum, the most beautiful corner, the Bagua Building, the Shuzhuang Garden... Check in at the wall of sunny day in Jay Chou's lyrics, watch a beautiful sunset, climb up Sunlight Rock to overlook the sea view of Xiamen Island, and feel the romantic evening breeze of Egret Island. 🌸 , Check in at Gulangyu Villa Hotel, with white walls and city tiles, bamboo forest pavilions, the overall design style of the hotel integrates Minnan and Nanyang style, fresh and simple. The oversized swimming pool and the dense vegetation lawn at the entrance add a few more lazy feelings of vacation. You can sit on the balcony of the room to watch the sea view, or you can cook tea around the stove in the yard. 🌿In the evening, share a sumptuous dinner with your bestie in the hotel restaurant. When wine meets a confidant, a thousand cups are too few, and share. The wine is like amber, with the freshness and elegance of the evening breeze, soft entrance, sweet aftertaste, warming the stomach and replenishing, and unique flavor. Add a few ice cubes to make a Chinese-style cocktail, paired with authentic Minnan cuisine, it is especially refreshing and fragrant. Warm winter around the stove, chat with confidants, drink a small amount of wine, comfortable and leisurely. Rush to the mountains and the sea, the New Year and the good are as promised.
