“Gulangyu Island, surrounded by the vast sea, waves surge and swell, Gulangyu Island faces Taiwan Island, Taiwan is my hometown…” As the melodious tune of “Gulangyu Waves” rings out, the artistic, romantic, and poetic Gulangyu Island emerges like a dreamlike island, enticing visitors to step onto this charming land. In February, despite the lingering chill of winter, Gulangyu Island has a unique charm. Filled with anticipation, I embarked on this leisurely journey😃. 🔵Best Time to Visit Gulangyu Island in February boasts pleasant weather, with temperatures ranging from 10℃ to 18℃ and gentle sea breezes. During this time, there are relatively fewer tourists compared to peak season, allowing for peaceful strolls through the streets and alleys, listening to the interplay of waves and piano music, and admiring the diverse architectural styles. It's the perfect time to discover the poetic charm of Gulangyu Island✨. 🔵Itinerary D1: Sanqiutian Wharf → Sunlight Rock → Former Site of the Gulangyu Mixed Court → Li Jiazhuang Hotel (Overnight) Arrive at Sanqiutian Wharf on Gulangyu Island by ferry in the morning.

In the evening, check in to Li Jiazhuang Hotel, a century-old house transformed into a charming hotel that retains its retro charm. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, and just outside the door are bustling streets, yet the hotel offers a unique sense of tranquility. D2: Shuzhuang Garden → Piano Museum → Longtou Road Commercial Street → Yangtao Courtyard Hotel (Overnight) In the morning, visit Shuzhuang Garden, an ingenious garden that seamlessly blends the sea with the landscape. Stroll through the garden, listen to the waves, and admire the pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and oddly shaped stones. The Piano Museum within the garden houses a collection of precious pianos. Gently touch the keys, and let the beautiful melodies flow, immersing yourself in the world of art. In the afternoon, wander along Longtou Road Commercial Street, where a variety of local snacks await. Indulge in the rich broth of Satay Noodles and savor the springy and delicious fish balls. Enjoy the lively atmosphere as you eat and shop. In the evening, check in to Yangtao Courtyard Hotel, a tranquil haven with a lush courtyard and an artistic ambiance. Fall asleep to the gentle moonlight and the chirping of insects. D3: The Most Beautiful Corner → Seaside Stroll → Sanqiutian Wharf → Return Trip After breakfast, head to "The Most Beautiful Corner" for a photo opportunity and capture a touch of literary and artistic charm📸. Then, take a leisurely walk along the coastline, listen to the waves crashing against the shore, watch the seagulls soar, and feel the gentle yet powerful embrace of the sea. In the afternoon, depart from Sanqiutian Wharf with cherished memories. 🔵Transportation Guide • Ferry: Take a ferry from Xiamen Island to Gulangyu Island. Book tickets in advance on the official WeChat public account. Both Sanqiutian Wharf and Neicuo'ao Wharf are convenient options for round trips🚢. • Walking: Motor vehicles are prohibited on Gulangyu Island, so walking is the primary mode of transportation.

During my days on Gulangyu Island, accompanied by the beautiful melody of “Gulangyu Waves,” I embraced the seascape, engaged in a dialogue with history, and embarked on an artistic journey.
