1. Island landing strategy The first thing you need to know is that you need to buy a boat ticket to go to Gulangyu Island, and taking a boat to the island is the only means of transportation.

And now there is a limit on the number of people waiting for the island. If you arrive late, you will not be able to buy a ticket. Therefore, after confirming the itinerary, it is best to buy tickets two or three days in advance.

There are 4 piers in Xiamen where you can take a boat to Gulangyu Island, but not all of these 4 piers are open to tourists.

The pier is divided into public-only and tourist-only.

It’s easy to get confused. Regarding the detailed guide to getting there, I will introduce it below.

2. Island landing plan 2.1. The best route plan to get to the island is Xiamen Cruise Center Xiagu Pier (also called Dongdu International Cruise Terminal) → Gulangyu Sanqiutian Pier/Neicuoao Pier.

If you don’t plan to stay on the island for one night, you can actually buy a ferry ticket to Sanqiutian Pier. Sanqiutian Pier is relatively close to the places to visit, and there are routes back to Xiamen’s main island 24 hours a day.

If you have booked an inn on the island, it is best to ask about the specific location of the inn in advance to see which pier is closer.

After the purchase is successful, you can directly use your ID card to go to the island, but one account can only purchase up to 5 tickets.

2. Queue up at the serial port of the pier to buy tickets, but during the peak season, you can only buy tickets after 9 o'clock in the morning for 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

3. Looking for scalpers, this editor does not recommend it, but if you really want to travel, you can only try this method.

Generally, scalpers will talk to you when you get off the bus and enter the ferry hall. The fare will range from 80 to 300 yuan depending on the number of tickets on that day.

Scalpers say that they can upload people immediately, but in fact it may take about an hour to get there. There are also cases where you fail to impersonate someone else's identity, and you have to go to Sanqiutian Pier to pay for a return ticket of 18 yuan per outlying island.
