How to quickly find the niche attractions in Gulangyu~ Refuse 20,000 steps
Small islands are meant to be walked slowly, wherever you go, you can see beautiful flowers, cute cats, and schoolchildren, to discover the cuteness of Gulangyu.
🚢: You can choose to disembark at Sanqiu Tian Pier and Neicuo Ao Pier when you arrive at the pier. I chose the less crowded niche route, disembarking at Neicuo Ao Pier, walking through the small island, and spending a whole day returning to Sanqiu Tian Pier to take the return boat. For boat ticket reservations, search for 'Yu Jian Xiamen', remember to book in advance, there are quite a few tourists during the summer vacation.
First stop: Gulangyu Art Academy🎆
Although Gulangyu Art Academy is no longer used as a campus, it often hosts small events and various exhibitions. If you bought a map on the boat, you can get a stamp in the cultural and creative shop in the academy. There is also a hidden super beautiful spiral staircase here, which led me to meet Luo Xiaohei haha~
Second stop: Sunlight Rock🪨
You can see the whole view of Gulangyu, this place is super worth it, but it's a little bit hard to climb up. The top is completely exposed and it's very hot, everyone be careful not to get heatstroke.
Lunch: Delicious but expensive😢
Third stop: Organ Museum🎹
Here is the largest organ in Asia, there is a fixed performance time every day, I really like the sound of this big organ, the sound really starts to be described as majestic, if you are tired, you can come in and sit for a while.
Fourth stop: Catholic Church⛪️
There will be many newlyweds taking wedding photos nearby, the church itself is very imposing, we came when there were fewer people in the late afternoon, and sat quietly for a while.
Fourth stop: Gangzai Hou Seaside Bathing Beach🌊
There are many bay bathing areas in Gulangyu, you don't need to go to this one specifically, you must see the sea when you come to Xiamen, hehe, if you don't have time in Gulangyu, you can see it in other areas, don't worry~ Stay by the bay until it gets dark and start to go back
