A well-developed tourist island which has well-preserved old houses. It also features a beach and different shots. Every major way is paved beautifully and you can tour the whole island inside an electric vehicle. Trees are all over which also provides shade and scenic beauty when strolling around. Several shops for different things can also be found if you're looking for souvenirs and gifts you could take with you.

Beautiful island with historic architecture. But overcommercialized and overcrowded

A UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Beautiful Island. 8 minutes ferry ride off the coast of Xiamen. A day trip would not be able to cover and enjoy the beauty senic of the Island. Cars or bicycles are not allowed on the Island.. The only vehicles permitted are small electric buggies. Good to spend a night or two walking around the whole Island. A must visit place when you visit Xiamen.

Limited seat on Ferry and u might have to stand for 20mins. 日光岩 is the must-go item as you can see the whole beauty view of 鼓浪嶼

The ancient buildings are very attractive, and it feels like time has stopped here. But there are a lot of people, and there are some speculators who are cheating here. The rest is wonderful.

Been here many times alr . The place is very big . You can stay here for one whole day . For tourists , you may not be able to get tickets to the island as it is always very packed

Great architecture and beautiful old lanes that wind throughout the island. Riguanyyan (sunlight rock) offers some fantastic views. The top can get really crowded. If there is time left, I would recommend that you visit Haitangtiangou. There are performances of the Nanyin (Chinese music) and a fun puppet show for kids. Wander off the beaten track and you will find some pleasant surprises.

Well... If you are visiting Xiamen and you don't take out a day for this island, then you have really missed out on something. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. So it takes a ferry ride to get you there which can cost you up to RMB50 to RMB 308 depending upon the kind of ferry you take there are several options like those which take you around the island are more expensive. We went at around 12 pm and bought 50rmb tickets for 130 pm ferry... There are ferries every 20min so don't worry.. some people say that you need to book the tickets in advance but I don't think that is a problem or maybe we were very lucky...we went on a Saturday when many people are there and still got the tickets over the counter. After reaching the island, you should definitely take the electric cart for RMB 50 which will take you around the island and drop you to different parts and also pick you up again and drop you back to the exit. Keep your tickets safe to show every time you want to take the cart. The island is so big that even one day is not enough to see it all... We saw the museum which had piano museum and 12 caves in it. And also there is motor boat rides in the beach, which I think was very expensive (RMB150 for Scooter and RMB 300 for the boat) only thing I feel is that asking for tickets everywhere is very expensive. One tickets to island and one to the cart is what we should be charged. The place is full of greenry and is so beautiful.. we enjoyed a lot and luckily it rained the day we went so it was not too hot. Piano museum is also worth a visit. Later on we went to the under water fish aquarium which has a lot of different kinds of fish and is a place you can spend some of your time. But again you have to spend RMB 90 for the ticket. There are a lot of souvenir shops, some restaurant and also a hotel within this island. But yes everything is expensive and food.is not vegetarian friendly so pack something for yourself and take with you.

A lovely tourist spot with breathtaking view and lots of local foods. I suggest to buy the ferry ticket in advance as there are many visitors even on normal days. Hope to be back again soon.

Picturesque island close to Xiamen in South China. Unfortunately has become quite touristic (mostly Chinese, but also foreigners). The streets out of the shore are calmer, but still full of shops and commerce. Nice views and characteristic architecture of European inspiration.

Wee visited the nearby South Putuo Temple and wanted to visivithe Xiamen university campus.Should be opened to tourists from 12.00 until 14.00 for tourists.but we have not registered in advance through wechat.in photos you can find the code to scan to register.but you can still visit the restaurants downstairs the visitor center.Piliburger had just amazing burgers.

It was a great experience to visit xiamen It’s a coastal city neat and clean beaches. I like it.

Bad experience felt like being scam. please dont pay the entrollment fees and register fees until you 100% accepted a place and have all your answer you want to know.

Started from 2018 Oct, it's mandatory to make reservation through the Uni Wechat account 'U厦大' in order to visit the university. It's said that the influx of tourists has seriously interfered the school order and teaching. Visiting slot as below: 1. Mon-Fri: 12-2pm (1000 reservations) 2. Weekend & school holiday: Available whole day (5000 reservations) 3. National holidays: Available whole day (10k reservations) Reservation can be made 3 days in advance. For the moment, there is no other way to visit the uni without reservation by yourself, travel agencies face difficulties to get the seats too. DON'T BELIEVE on someone claimed that they have SCALPER TICKET which can bring you in (you might asked to pay 80rmb to 800rmb), they are in fact didn't make any reservation and you might face serious 'break in' offence. ** The building structure is very interesting, and there is a tunnel named Fu Rong Tunnel which has many nice murals painted by students.

The most beautiful university in China... Great scenic views all around... Apparently, since too many people visit the university, they have put blockades at the entrances and more you have to make a registeration online to visit the university... Around 5000 people can visit the university in a day... It would be better to register 2 days earlier than your preferred visit date...

Came and visit the University as tourist. Quite impressed with the overall infrastructure and facilities.

If I can give 0, I would have given them! Foreigners: PLEASE BE AWARE, not an institution to trust at all! Run away! This is not a good place to work. They will send you "an offer withdrawal" before 1 day of your scheduled plan to enter Chinese territory. Save your time, don't ruin your life, don't waste your time. Never accept their offers!

Very peaceful and worth seeing ancient Budhist temple. Free entry, personell were very friendly to us helping us enter. The mountain trail to peak was not unfortunately opened. Outside of the monastery you can enjoy nice coffee.

The Nanputuo Temple was a beautiful place for both secular and spiritual visitors. The temple had a few of architectural highlights, a nice pagoda and a nice pond, some beautiful corridors, and lovely calligraphy on big rocks. The temple was also a big attraction to local crowd; tourists should be well prepared for a little bit of tumult. The kitchen of Nanputuo prepared great vegetarian dishes that you certainly wouldn’t want to miss, even though you were not a vegan.

Remember not to wear hats & sunglasses for this temple as it is known as disrespect and the god can’t identify you if you wear sunglasses. Deep history, and nice vegetarian food available too.

Need to make appointments online before visit. Foreigners need to show passports and walk through left hand side lane.

Beautiful Temple to visit. A lot of tourist touts offering to walk through the temple.

Free to enter and is one of the best scenic temples in Xiamen... There is also a mountain that you could climb which leads to a great view of the city... Also at the peak, you could enter the Xiamen botanical garden but there is an entry fee for that place...

Out of respect I didn’t take any photos or video, however I assure you that it is an absolutely beautiful temple a must visit at Xiamen. It is also a very religious place as they hand out the stick candle things to everyone and you can see everyone there praying to the buddhas.

Interesting ancient historical Buddhish temple which attract large crowd daily; be it worshipers or tourists. It is not a very large place though. Worth the visit to satisfy one's curiosity as first time visitor to Xiamen.

Probably the best museum on the island, in my opinion. Very interesting items on display

If you are at all interested in music, or even just like the sight of antique pianos, you'll love this place. It is relatively small, but the collection is large. The entrance to the museum includes the whole Shuzhuang gardens setting, which was GREAT (check out the rock maze/labyrinth after the museum, try and find all the Chinese zodiac animals too!). The museum is a private collection (of a very rich piano maestro) Recommended.

I was surprised to see a Piano Museum in Gu Lang Yu island. They have a moderate collection. Though it's small yet it will be nice if there is an English speaking curator available.

so so

good

(Translated by Google) It is located in Shuzhuang Garden. If you pass the seaside area on the way, you can go to the shore for a walk. Walk along the shore to Shuzhuang Garden. You can enter after purchasing the ticket. Follow the indicated path all the way to the sea. You can see its Interesting, walk slowly ~ you can enjoy the sea scenery, and then follow the signs to go up to the Piano Museum. The collection of rare pianos is huge and dazzling. As a fellow piano player, I am very excited and watch the buildings for a long time. The scenery inside makes people feel more comfortable and at ease. The management of this part of the scenic spot is very careful! Worth visiting again and again.

Worth a visit if you're in the area, a historic (not really considering this is China) cannon fort built in 1894. It is home to one of the world's oldest cannons (19th Century German Grupp). Grounds are also nice.

戦争時代の砲台。全てがある方向に向けられているという話だったけど、微妙に違ってたような？ 午後に空砲を撃つ寸劇？が行われてたけど、これは見るべきもの。感心がある方は思った以上に楽しめる場所です。 (Translated by Google) War-era artillery. You said that everything was going in one direction, but was it slightly different? Skit shooting blank guns in the afternoon? was done, but this is something to see. If you are interested, it is a place where you can enjoy more than you thought.

This fortress is next to Xiamen University; a nice continuation post touring the campus. There are quite some old cannon from mostly Ming and Ching dynasty, with one cannon that hold Guiness Book of Records as oldest and largest coastal artillery in 19th century. Interesting place that is worth a visit when one is visiting Xiamen for the first time.

Interesting historic fort within town. Got one of the oldest cannon in the a World, whilst some of the buildings got a hint of European influence to it.

Very nice place, mix of Chinese and European style of military architecture.

It is a historic and cultural place and the admission is like 30? RMB as I remember. However, it is worth even if you do not know anything about the history around this area. The view is pretty good and there is much to see.

Family happy

Well kept fort , good views , nice shades with good breeze at certain parts of the fort. Most of information is in Mandarin . Entry fee applies.

Inside, there are well-maintained pretty flowers, It has a nice view of the sea. Cheon Jia Geng is known as a great man of Xiamen. The person who created the Xia Culture Museum, the first Chinese museum in China, is said to be Chen Jia-Geng, a Singaporean Chinese from Xiamen, Fujian. He was born in Fujian Province in 1874. At the age of 17, he moved to Singapore and started a business. Starting with a pineapple canning company, he expanded his business to a rubber factory. He was called the ‘Rubber King’ among the Chinese merchants in Southeast Asia at the time and is said to have risen to the rank of the top Chinese merchant in Southeast Asia. It is said that Fujian merchants were famous for their generous investment in the development of their hometown when they made money. In 1912, Chen Jia Geng also established middle and high schools and a teacher's school in his hometown, starting with Jimei Elementary School. Xiamen University (廈門大學) was established. Xiamen University, which was converted into a national university in 1937, developed into a key university in China. It is also well known for its beautiful campus.

Great place, easy access to local beaches and shopping malls. Weather at end of the year is just fabulous. All surroundings are extremely clean and well maintained. Facilities etc are rather new and in good condition. Easy to find basic food around.

A great experience with all things tile and stone. The largest expo I've ever seen.

Amazing venue, very well organized fair, beautiful city, clean air although very damp and heavy to breathe. The Internet is very heavily controlled and google is prohibited so use a Chinese based search engine.

Been here for 3 days. Toilet is clean. Staff is good. The air is kind a comfortable. The parking are so big.

Here brics summit was held. Sea side. Very beautiful place. Well maintained roads, sides and garden

A stop for all granite marble solutions . Me in Xiamen.

Difficult to get a cup of fine coffee.

A nice park with many trees and greenery the vegetation were well maintained.
