I wrote this for my sisters who are coming to Xiamen in December (a guide to the island).

📢Since last month, the Sanqiutian Wharf on Gulangyu Island has been under renovation!
⏸️Service suspension is expected to last until the end of December
How to get to the island? Which pier to go to?
What route is easy, fun and doesn’t require much leg work?
🌟This guide has it all! Remember to stay!

⚠️The departure pier for Gulangyu during the day remains unchanged. Dongdu Pier, also known as Xiamen-Gulangyu Cruise Center Pier, is the main tourist pier. It is recommended to depart from here~
⚠️The First Pier is close to the BRT station; the Xiamen Ferry Terminal is close to Zhongshan Road, don’t get confused!
⚠️Xiamen Ferry Terminal is only open to the public during the day. Tourists can only go to Xiamen Ferry Terminal to take a ferry at night (17:50-6:30 the next day)
