XIAMEN - GULANGYU ISLAND

My second visit to Gulangyu, Xiamen in November 2019.  This time is a  leisure visit with easy strolling around the island and dropping by at many places which I have not covered during my previous trip in 2015.   Since Gulanyu is an island of historical heritage, much have been preserved except for many new food outlets which is common in many tourist spots.


Boarding the ferry to Gulangyu at the jetty is hassle free with people guiding the way.  The ferry trip to the island is about 15 minutes.  

The Gulang Island or Kulangsu is a pedestrian-only island off the coast of Xiamen, in southeastern China. A UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, the island is about 2 square kilometre in area.
An island to visit if you have ample time to spend a relaxing time.
