Gulangyu | Unlocking another perfect sunset spot in Xiamen~

I've visited Gulangyu many times, but I've never ventured up Bijia Mountain before. This time, I decided to skip the popular routes and randomly chose a path, which led me to this amazing sunset viewing spot.
Route: After disembarking at Sanqiutian Pier, head towards the "Most Beautiful Corner" direction. Walk along Guxin Road, passing by the "Chongxing Gulangyu Sanhe Temple Cliff Inscriptions," then continue upwards to Bishan Road. Follow the path towards Guancai Rock, where you'll find the entrance to the summit.
At the top, there's a small rocky area that can only accommodate a few people. Nearby, you can see island residences, some of which have pigeons flying around. Further out, there's the sea with small islands scattered across it, and in the distance, you can spot the cross-sea bridge—it's a stunning view.
During sunset, the golden hues of the sun's rays spread across the sea, occasionally accompanied by passing boats and the sound of their horns, creating a countdown to the day's end.
