The orange lighthouse reflects the sea and chases the waves, a fairy tale at Wutong in golden autumn

In the golden autumn of Xiamen, the sea is like a spilled blue palette, and the orange lighthouse at Wutong Pier is the most passionate stroke on this canvas. It stands like a lonely guardian, yet holds overflowing romance, supporting the poetry and fairy tale of the entire sea between the tides.

Driving to Wutong Pier, the bright orange can be seen from afar, especially striking against the blue sea and sky. The lighthouse stands on the coastal rocks, its orange body polished by sea breeze and time into a warm luster, like a fairy tale symbol emerging from the years. Walking along the sunlit wooden boardwalk, the sea breeze carries the song of the waves, white waves repeatedly hitting the rocks, breaking into thousands of pearls, spreading delicate ripples on the beach.

Standing under the lighthouse, looking up you can see the tip chasing and playing with the clouds. Sunlight filters through the clouds, casting mottled shadows on the tower, and for a moment it feels like hearing colors whispering in your ear—the passionate orange colliding with the calm blue is the most touching encounter of early autumn on the island. Not far away, NOMI Café’s white exterior walls and floor-to-ceiling glass windows create a perfect viewpoint to admire the lighthouse. Order an iced Americano and sit by the window, watching the sunlight dance on the sea, the lighthouse’s shadow gently swaying with the waves, making even time feel tender.

The afternoon sunlight gradually softens, and the sea surface shimmers with sparkling light. The lighthouse’s reflection stretches in the water, intertwining with the sunset clouds into a magnificent painting. Occasionally, fishing boats sail by in the distance, their sails echoing the lighthouse, resembling scenes from a fairy tale. Couples cuddle by the shore taking photos, children chase the waves running, laughter blending with the sound of the sea, adding a touch of lively warmth to this romance.

This lighthouse is not only a coastal scenery but also holds Xiamen’s ocean memories. Wutong Pier was once an ancient ferry crossing, witnessing countless ships coming and going, and the lighthouse, like a silent guardian, guided travelers day and night. Now, it has lost its practical function but has become a romantic landmark of the city, allowing everyone who comes here to find inner peace and healing in the sea breeze and light.

At sunset, the lighthouse is dyed warm red, and the sea surface ripples with golden waves. We walk slowly along the coastline, letting the sea breeze brush through our hair, blowing away worries and fatigue into the waves. It turns out that the romance by the sea is never a deliberate pursuit, but the embrace of the lighthouse and the sea, the private whispers of sunlight and waves, an unintentional healing encounter in early autumn.

If you want to continue this romance and comfort, Jinjiang Inn Plus Airport T4 Jimei Aesthetic Village Hotel is a thoughtful choice for your journey, carefully placing every gentle moment related to the sea on your Xiamen island trip.
