I think it's too extravagant to live in Gulangyu. Everything is expensive, not to mention accommodation.

When you get down in the afternoon, go directly to Nanputuo, next to which is Xiamen University, where the scenery is very beautiful. In the evening, go to Zhongshan Road to taste Xiamen food, which is also very lively, and then find an accommodation nearby, which should be cheap.

One-day tour of Gulangyu Island the next day

Gulangyu Map Transportation:

1. The ferry from Xiamen to Gulangyu Island runs at least every 2 minutes from 5: 3 am to 12: 3 pm, including every 1 minutes from 7: am to 7: pm. Every hour after 12: 3.

2. Tickets to Gulangyu Island are free. When you return to 8 yuan, the return fare is half price, that is, four yuan per person per ticket, and the ferry is free after 1: 1 (including this time shift). Remember that it will be implemented only on non-holidays! In addition, remember that the ferry from Xiamen to Gulangyu should take the ferry company, which is right and free. In addition, there is a ticket window at the entrance, which sells tourist tickets. In fact, you don't have to buy them. You need to pay 1 yuan for the second floor view.

3. There is a battery car on Gulangyu Island, and 5 yuan is around it. But sitting is not recommended. Because the island is not big, just walk.

The best route: Organ Museum → Haoyue Garden → Xinzhuang Garden → Bainiao Garden (including free cable car) → Sunlight Rock, just going up the mountain to watch the sunset

Tickets for Gulangyu scenic spot:

1. Sunlight Rock (including cable car, Bainiao Garden and cinema)

As the saying goes, "Xiamen is not counted if you don't climb Sunlight Rock". Sunlight Rock is the leading scenic spot of Gulangyu Island, including Sunlight Rock and Qinyuan. At the peak of Sunlight Rock, a boulder with a diameter of more than 4 meters stands in the air and becomes a symbol of Xiamen. When the national hero Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan Province, he stationed troops here, leaving many touching legends. The scenic spot is full of strange stones, natural caves, waves lapping on the shore, lush trees and flowers, full of subtropical romance. It has the scenic spots of "a tile", "Lujiang Dragon Cave", "ancient summer cave", "leading cottage", "water platform" and "1-meter high platform". There are many inscriptions on stone carvings by literati in past dynasties, adding ancient splendor to famous rocks. Climb the ladder, climb to the top, and have a panoramic view of Gulangyu, Xiamen, Dadan and Xiaodan islands. Qinyuan is connected with Sunlight Rock by a cable car, mainly featuring modern amusement projects, such as "Hundred Birds Garden" and "Cinema", which form an organic combination of dynamic and static, present and ancient with the natural landscape of Sunlight Rock.

2. Xinzhuang Garden (including Gulangyu Piano Museum)

Located on the southeast coast of Gulangyu Island, Xinzhuang Garden was built in 1913. It was originally the private garden of Taiwan Province rich businessman Lin Erjia. In 1956, the owner's relatives dedicated the garden to the country. Xinzhuang Garden is backed by rocks and faces the sea, with Guanhai Garden in the east and Gangzi in the west. The whole park is divided into two parts: Tibetan Sea Garden and Bushan Garden, each with five scenes. The five scenic spots in Tibetan Sea are Meishou Hall, Renqiu Pavilion, Zhenlv Pavilion, No.44 Bridge and Zhaoliangting. The five scenic spots of the mountain are the stone mountain house and the twelve caves, and I also love my house, Tingchao Building and Xiaolan Pavilion. There is the only piano museum in Asia in Xinzhuang Garden. The museum displays nearly 1 ancient pianos collected from all over the world by Mr. Hu Youyi, a patriotic overseas Chinese. Among them, there are rare and precious gold-plated pianos, the world's earliest four-corner piano and the largest upright piano, ancient hand-cranked pianos, pedal-operated automatic pianos and eight pedal-operated ancient pianos, etc.

3. Haoyue Garden

Haoyue Garden is located at Fudingyan seaside in the east of Gulangyu Island, covering an area of 3, square meters and spread along the bank of Lujiang River. It is a garden with beaches, rocks, green trees and pavilions. Founded in 1985, the garden was named "Haoyue Garden" after the poem "I miss you so much, and the bright moon shines through you" in "Two Kings of Yanping". There is a giant bronze statue of Zheng Chenggong and his department in the park, which is 13.7 meters long and 4.7 meters high and consumes 18 tons of copper. This giant bronze sculpture, with the exception of Zheng Chenggong and his separate ministries of Chen Ze, Chen Guang, Chen Yonghua and Yang Chaodong, is slightly larger than the real one, and the rest of the military forces and horses all extend to both sides, with a wide picture, which is quite eye-catching. More prominent in the park is the giant granite statue of Zheng Chenggong standing on Fuding Rock. This colossus was completed on August 27, 1985. It is 15.7 meters high and weighs 1617 tons. It is made of 23 layers of 625 pieces of "Quanzhou White" granite, which is very powerful.

4. International lettering art museum

It is the only large-scale and high-grade international lettering art exhibition hall in the world, with four floors, directly opposite to Xinzhuang Garden. The museum has a collection of 47 works from China, Japanese, Korean, Singaporean and Malaysian countries, most of which were selected by the 5th National Engraving Art Exhibition and the 8th International Engraving Art Exhibition in 24, representing the highest artistic level of lettering at home and abroad. 5. Organ Museum

The Organ Museum is located in the Bagua Building in the northwest of Gulangyu Island, which is the only organ museum in China and the largest in the world at present.
