Xiamen's Must-Visit Attractions

Gulangyu Island in Xiamen is not very large, located just 600 meters away from Xiamen's downtown area. You need to take a ferry to get there, but be aware that the ferry schedule is quite sparse. The overall feel of the island is somewhat similar to Taiwan's Penghu or Kaohsiung's Cijin. A few years ago, it was officially listed as a World Heritage Site. The most famous feature is its modern Western-style buildings, which come in various styles and unique designs. Notable examples include the British and Japanese consulates, the old site of HSBC's residence, the Bagua Building, the Trinity Building, the Huang Rongyuan Hall, and the Guancai Building. There are truly too many to count, with at least dozens of well-known structures, each with its own unique charm, making it a feast for the eyes.

Breathtaking views at Sunlight Rock- Gulangyu

Sunlight Rock is one of the monuments on Gulangyu Island, and can immediately be seen as you approach the island by boat. It the tallest mountain on the island, and one can climb the steps to the top, to have a 360° view of Gulangyu and Xiamen. The setting is beautiful for photos, specifically at sunset. During weekends and public holidays, it may be a little bit crowded to go to the top, so I would suggest going early, to avoid the traffic. To get there, you would have to board a ferry at the Xiamen shipping wharf, to Gulangyu. Then you have to walk to the entrance gates of Sunlight rock (no cars on Gulangyu), using a map. The entrance fee is around 100¥.Then climb the steps to the top, and enjoy the beautiful view #mountainview #cityview #china #xiamen #gulangyu #tigeryear2022 #couplestrip #staycation #urbanexplorer

Going back in time- Gulangyu Island

Gulangyu is a small island next to Xiamen. It takes a short ferry ride to get there. The island is small, and the roads are very narrow, therefor there are no cars on the island. One has to explore the island on foot. It has such a rich history and is also recognised as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. The island used to be home to many foreign diplomats, and the architecture on the island has a strong European influence. Most of the historic building have been transformed into hotels or museums. The trees on the island are also quite fascinating. There are lots of great Chinese restaurants to eat at, but also Western take out restaurants like MacDonalds. It is easy to find valuable souvenirs, with shops around every scenic corner.

FORBIDDEN CITY

The Forbidden City (紫禁城 Zǐjìn chéng) was the residence of the imperial family during the last two Ming and Qing Dynasties. Its name comes from the fact that entry is prohibited for foreigners to the palace and its organization is like a small town. The architecture of the complex is impressive, but most of the valuable items such as paintings and porcelain were brought to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek (Jiǎng Jieshi in Mandarin) and displayed in the Taipei museum ((Taibei in Chinese) The Forbidden City is located north of downtown Beijing. It is towards the south and a small artificial hill, Coal Hill, is raised north of the Forbidden City to meet the demands of Chinese geomancy, Fengshui (literally wind and water). The Forbidden City is 960m long and 750m wide. The walls are from 7 to 10m high and the moat is 52m wide. During the occupation by the emperors of the last two dynasties for five centuries, no other building in Beijing could not exceed those of the Forbidden City. The Courtyard is paved with nearly 12 million bricks and the Forbidden City consists of about 9,000 rooms. The Forbidden City is also known as the Old Palace (故宫 Gùgōng) but rather refers to the central part of the Forbidden City without the passage between the Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tiān'ānmén) and the South Gate (Wǔmén). This was the Yongle emperor, who decided to move the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. Construction of the Forbidden City began in 1406 and lasted fourteen years, which is very fast for a building of this size. More than 200,000 craftsmen participated in the construction. Materials came from all over the empire: stone from Beijing, marble from Shanghai, wood from Yunnan and Sichuan provinces and bricks from Shandong. Construction allied to the modern techniques of the time while retaining the aesthetic and symbolic features of tradition. The Forbidden City was more or less cut off from the outside world until 1924 when Puyi, the last emperor, was expelled. The Forbidden City burne #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Gulangyu Island

A hot weekend on Gulangyu Island! Decent spot for a walk, but make sure you have sunblock and trainers; it can be gruelling walking up the hilly streets in the sun. Don't expect five star restaurants or hotels. You will have to do with street food and a couple of bottles of water. #summervacation #summervacation

For short background, Xiamen and Kulangsu island were the main maritime sino-foreign key location for centuries, with huge development for this island. After WWII, Japanese soldiers occupied Jinmen island, with brought thousands of refugees to Kulangsu. Later, during Pacific war in 1941, Japanese troops occupied the island, restructured several areas, and imposed Japanese culture. Later the island was recovered for Chinese, leaving an amazing mixture of cultures, architecture and this odd environment around. Bikes and cars are not allowed. Roads are very small and landscape can be very tiring. Although, there is so much to see and admire: architecture, temples, parks, gardens, beaches, shops inside old buildings.

Xiamen is a cool coastal city in Fujian. Once a treaty port known to the world as Amoy, it retains much of the architecture from that time. The main attraction is Gulangyu, an island just off the coast which was a foreign concession where Europeans and Chinese who'd made fortunes abroad built comfortable villas. There is a short ferry crossing to Gulangyu directly from the Xiamen waterfront but it's only available to Xiamen residents. Tourists must go to the cruiseship terminal to take a significantly pricier and longer ferry. This is annoying, but it's still worth visiting the island. Set aside a whole day to walk around the seawall and visit some of the museums in the main town. #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #xiamen #amoy #gulangyu #seaside #coast #island #historiccallandmark

Lost in Gulangyu Gulangyu is one of the must-see locations in Xiamen, but with more and more tourists, many people are discouraged from it. Regarding Gulangyu, as long as you are on the right track, every place is There were surprises. From the moment I boarded the ship to the island, the vocals, whistle sounds, the sound of the ferry opening, the sound of the waves, the sound of the fishing boat... When all the sounds were intertwined, the life prelude of Gulangyu was officially played. When I first came to Gulangyu, I lost in all the alleys. I didn't expect to get lost again. The criss-crossing alleys, Fujian Road, Quanzhou Road, Zhonghua Road, Lujiao Road... turn left and turn right Its like a big labyrinth, but its not the complicated alleys that make me lost, but the old houses that are hidden in the alley.
