Take a stroll on Gulangyu Island and experience the slow-paced island life and its true beauty.

🗓Itinerary: Sanqiutian Wharf → Most Beautiful Corner → Organ Art Center → Bagua Building → Jiexin Park → Sunlight Rock → Shuzhuang Garden → Dadeji Beach → Haoyue Garden → Return 1. Most Beautiful Corner: A three-story red brick building, a popular check-in point from the TV series "Corner with Love". The building is shaped like a ship, symbolizing success in the imperial examination. 2. Organ Art Center: The largest century-old organ in Asia, the live performance is very impressive! You can make a free reservation on the WeChat official account "Xiamen Gulangyu Cultural Tourism Center", otherwise you need to buy a joint ticket for 90 yuan. 3. Sunlight Rock: You can overlook the entire Gulangyu Island from the top, the best spot for taking photos. You can't enter after 17:30. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the top. You may need to queue for one or two hours during holidays. 4. Shuzhuang Garden: Known as the Suzhou Garden on the Sea, the Twelve Caves and the seaside plank road are very photogenic, and the Piano Museum is also inside. 5. Dadeji Beach: The best spot for taking photos with the Twin Towers! Trees and rocks complement each other! Especially suitable for portrait photography. 6. Haoyue Garden: Built in the Ming Dynasty style, you can see the statue of Zheng Chenggong up close. 🍲Recommended dishes: 1. Danmanguan (20-minute queue): 📍Address: No. 175 Longtou Road A 12-yuan snack with meat filling in an egg. The pork and mushroom filling is generous and delicious. I have to have one every time I come to Gulangyu Island. 2. Linjinji Fish Balls (30-minute queue): 📍Address: No. 414 Longtou Road A 15-yuan bowl of low-key and delicious handmade shark balls. The 15-yuan bowl is small, with 2 large and 4 small shark balls. They are very elastic. You can see the real ingredients being made on site, and you can taste the freshness of the fish. 3. Lin Siji (1-hour queue, a popular Minnan restaurant online): Siji Satay Pot: People who like satay flavor will love it. The taste is very authentic, the satay is rich and delicious, and the ingredients are plentiful, including shrimp, squid, tofu, etc. The only downside is that the shrimp line is not removed. Ginger Duck: The spicy aroma of old ginger and the tender meat of Muscovy duck are firmly locked in the clay pot, with the ginger flavor slowly seeping out along the edges, filling the room with aroma in no time. The ginger duck served on the Siji table is tempting in color, with the ginger flavor clinging to the duck meat, the duck skin slightly charred, and the duck meat tender and not dry. The flavor is unique, but I can't handle such a spicy ginger flavor. 📝Tips: 1. Gulangyu ferry ticket reservation: Yu Jian Xiamen 2. Choose the 35-yuan ferry ticket, which includes a round trip. Usually book 5 days in advance. 3. It is recommended to take the ferry from Dongdu Passenger Terminal to Sanqiutian Wharf. The ticket is cheaper, the attractions are concentrated, and you can also take a sightseeing car. 4. Bring your ID card to board the ferry, no need to queue to exchange tickets.
