Fujian is a coastal province with many small islands. The most famous and popular among tourists is Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, which is crowded with tourists all year round.

Gulangyu Island has always insisted on itself. Not only does it have no bridges or undersea tunnels connected to the main island of Xiamen, there are also no buses on the island. Tourists can basically only rely on walking to visit the island.

Not only that, due to the limited reception capacity of the island, a quota ticket purchase system is implemented every day. Once the quota is full, you will not be able to go to the island. Of course, this situation usually only occurs during major holidays. During the off-season, there are remaining ferry tickets every day, so it is not difficult to land on the island.

Gulangyu Island is low on all sides and high in the middle. The highest point is Sunlight Rock, but the altitude is only 92.7 meters, so the climbing difficulty is extremely low.

Gulangyu Island is the best place to appreciate Xiamen’s coastal scenery besides aerial photography. You can have a panoramic view of the urban buildings and Yanwu Bridge on the other side. The most eye-catching thing on the island is the western-style scenery of red tiles and green trees.

If you want to enjoy the panoramic view of the island, Sunlight Rock Scenic Area is a good choice. During the peak season and major holidays, the trail leading to the highest point is often crowded, and sometimes there is a queue for an hour or two. Only the team can reach the top.

Various Western-style buildings and villas add a romantic atmosphere to Gulangyu Island. This scene is a bit like Qingdao City, Shandong Province.

Today, Xiamen is the city with the strongest comprehensive strength in Fujian Province, and Qingdao is also the city with the highest economic level and comprehensive strength in Shandong Province.

To talk about the western style of Gulangyu Island, we have to mention Shuzhuang Garden. This is a garden built on the seaside, which is extremely rare in China.

Shuzhuang Garden is not a traditional Western garden or a Chinese garden, but a perfect fusion of the two garden arts. Walk from the entrance of the garden to the plank road and you can see it in a few minutes. The sea feels like a sudden openness.

The Piano Museum is one of the most famous museums in Fujian Province. It is located in Shuzhuang Garden on Gulangyu Island. It displays precious pianos from all over the world and from different eras, which amazes tourists.
