Walk the little streets of the Island, admire the old palaces and rest under one of the big trees. Tourists shops abound and sell the usual stuff. Chinese tourists buy a lot of dried seafood, a specialty of Gulangyu. We were there on a Saturday. It was very crowded. But the tourists walk the same streets - where they find shops - quit the beaten paths and choose other itineraries. There are stone maps of the Island at many corners.

It's possible to listen to a 10 minutes concert on an old piano (ours was 80 years old) in the Museum. One of the ward staff did it. It was good.
Ask the staff to know when the next concert will take place.

Gulangyu also known as Piano Island
Gulangyu is little island in front of Xiamen. You reach it with a ferry (about 15-20 min. trip). At the begining of 20th century the westerners (ambassadors and business men) built their house or...
This is a quiet paradise located just minutes by ferry from the city docks of Xiamen. The boat trip is comfortable and provides spectacular views of both the island and the mainland.
