🌟Highlights:
1. It is a sightseeing cable car. The whole cable car journey includes round trip without getting off the car. [Helicopter] is equivalent to a low-altitude flight sightseeing.
[HeartBeat][1:00] The cable car journey takes 40 minutes. Half of the journey is through the forest park and the bustling city, and the other half is through the coastal scenery and the tranquility of the mountains.
🕙Business hours:
2. Operating hours: 8:30-17:30. There are not many people, no need to queue, and no need to rush. However, try to arrive before 17:30, as the round trip will take another 40 minutes.
📝Notes:
3. The semi-open cable car brings an extraordinary visual experience. You need to pay attention to the weather conditions in advance. In special weather conditions, the cable car will be suspended.
👍Most Recommended:
4. It is very close to Xiamen Botanical Gardens and can be visited on the same day
✅Must experience:
5. In the evening, you can also enjoy the most beautiful sunset in Xiamen, with all the trees in autumn colors and all the mountains in the setting sun. [DoubleHearts] It is recommended to check the sunset time of the day in advance to grasp the time point
🗓Itinerary:
6. You can buy tickets online 3 days in advance, or buy them on the spot on the same day.
🚉Transportation strategy:
7. Park your car. There are limited parking spaces near the scenic area, but it is relatively easy to find a parking space a little further away, and parking is also relatively convenient. [100] There is a senior citizen activity center opposite, where you can park your car. Take the underground passage across the street to the ticket gate for the Bell and Drum Cableway.
📝Notes:
8. There is only one entrance for both entry and exit. You can store your luggage at the entrance and enjoy the cable car leisurely.
