Who Says Gulangyu Isn't Fun? Off-the-Beaten-Path Instagrammable Spots Fully Checked.

Who would have thought this is a female celebrity operating under the scorching heat of 37°C🥲! The day we landed on the island was a sweltering workday, but we were rewarded with a Gulangyu island devoid of crowds, no need to compete for the camera lens📸! There are too many recommended routes for photo travel! I believe we covered quite a comprehensive list of attractions that day, and below are some recommendations for off-the-beaten-path but stunning photo spots that are also on the main routes. Just pay attention and you'll find them~ — Photo 1: Seems like the entrance to a guesthouse? Near Sunlight Rock, this bronze door is so imposing and beautiful👍🏻! Navigate to 'Former Site of the CPC Fujian Provincial Committee', and you'll see it at the nearest corner on the way. Photo 2: Just came down from the Sanqiutian Pier, walked past the most beautiful corner, navigate to 'Boat House', the Boat House is really super beautiful, casually taking pictures on the roadside looks great! Photo 3: My treasure of a rooftop! Directly navigate to 'Yili Coffee', someone will take you into the coffee shop, order a drink, and then go to the second and third floors of their rooftop to take photos, which are very stunning👍! The red circular roof of the Organ Museum is too beautiful! Photo 4: I think this corner is even more beautiful than the 'most beautiful corner'! Navigate to 'Huisheng Hall' to find it~ Photos 5 & 6: Navigate to 'HSBC Mansion', a must-visit beautiful and niche spot! Free! The architecture is super beautiful! Avoid the mainstream tourist groups~ Photo 7: This one is really niche haha~ Didn't see it recommended! Navigate to 'Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall' (closed on Mondays)🧐, you can visit Sunlight Rock at the same time, the second-floor viewing platform is semi-circular, and you can say there are hardly any visitors on weekdays, taking a look-back photo will amaze your friends! Photo 8: In front of the 'Organ Museum', there are some tourist photos, but it's really beautiful and worth a visit, the air conditioning inside is super cool, I was obsessed and blew it for 20 minutes before coming out😅... Photo 9: 'Shuzhuang Garden' is also a must-visit spot on Gulangyu👏, this photo spot is a pavilion you can see by walking up the stairs from the sea corridor~ Have the photographer take the picture from below, with an extended focal length📷~ — Actually, these spots are all on the main routes, just remember to navigate and search a bit to find them~ Gulangyu is a place where every step reveals a beautiful scene, the island is home to thousands of buildings with diverse styles, combining Chinese and Western elements, truly deserving the name 'Exhibition of International Architecture'. For someone like me who studies architecture, it's truly paradise! There are traditional Chinese temples with flying eaves and upturned corners, the mixed-style Bagua Building, consulates of Western countries from the 19th century in European style, and Shuzhuang Garden, a masterpiece of classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River💕. Visitors need to discover the beauty themselves, not just chase after the popular photo spots, that's how to truly enjoy the pleasure of traveling😗~
