How to buy tickets on Gulangyu Island? The best travel time in Gulangyu Island.

There must be many friends who want to visit Gulangyu, a beautiful and pleasant tourist destination, but before each trip, they will be bothered by many things before the trip, such as a series of questions about how to buy tickets in Gulangyu. See Xiaobian to answer them for you. 1. ticket purchase method

there are three ways to buy Gulangyu boat tickets.

Method 1: Buy tickets with Alipay

Open Alipay-search Xiamen Ferry Company-register account number-select time and limit the number of boat trips to 5)-ship one hour in advance with your ID card. You can buy it 15

days in advance, buy it as early as possible, and the tickets will be abundant; Temporary ticket purchase will appear: there is no boat ticket or a flight without a suitable time dock.

method 2: on-site ticket purchase at the terminal

on the day of travel, you can buy tickets by yourself or at the manual ticket window with your ID.

suggestion: if everyone has an id card, they can use the self-service ticket machine; If you have other documents (such as household registration book, passport, etc.), go to the manual ticket window.

the disadvantage is that it is suitable for the very light off-season; Otherwise, the waiting time at the dock does not conform to the travel logic of modern people; In addition: tickets are not sold on site occasionally on holidays.

Method 3: Purchase tickets on travel websites

All major travel websites have a service charge to purchase tickets; If you don't want to register your own account to choose flights, and it's so troublesome to keep tickets and grab tickets, you can pay a small service fee to ask someone to buy tickets.

Usually, the business practices are Gulangyu boat tickets+vouchers worth 4-5 for XX scenic spots.

It is suggested to ignore the latter. Your focus is on the boat tickets. If you are interested in XX scenic spots, you can calculate: it is cheaper to purchase the tickets according to the voucher method, or it is cost-effective to purchase the tickets directly on the website. I think, you know ~

this method is relatively worry-free and labor-saving, of course, on the basis of your approval of the "service fee". 2. How to get to the island

From Xiamen to Gulangyu, you need to take a ferry. First, go to Xiamen Dongdu Cruise Terminal, to 5 yuan/Ren (round trip) at Inner CuO 'ao Pier in Gulangyu Island, and to 35 yuan/Ren (round trip) at Sanqiutian Pier in Gulangyu Island. Tickets can be bought in official website or at the pier, but there is a queue at the pier. 3. The best time

When is the best season to visit Gulangyu

The best season to play in a year is March-May and September-October. It is suggested to avoid summer vacation and golden week as much as possible.

the best time of day is morning or evening. The weather is hottest at noon, and it is also the densest time for tourists on the island. 4. Hot question

What documents are needed to buy tickets? Can I use other documents without an ID card

A: I buy tickets with my second-generation ID card. Visitors who cannot provide ID cards can also use documents that meet laws, administrative regulations and relevant state regulations to prove their identity, including: household registration book (only for minors under 16 years old), temporary id card, military officer's card, soldier's card, armed police officer's card, people's police card and passport. Using the second-generation ID card to purchase tickets online does not need to pick up tickets, but can be transferred directly with the ID card. Non-second-generation ID cards need to print the boarding certificate at the window with the original ID card (which should be consistent with the documents used when purchasing tickets online).

How to avoid crowds

Try to stagger the tourist season and the crowded time on the island, so that your trip to Gulangyu will be more comfortable.

We locals hide the exclusive route of Gulangyu Island and know which path is the quietest and which path is more beautiful. For example, after getting off the ferry at Sanqiutian Wharf, you can actually avoid the crowd and walk in the opposite direction. Pass the American Consular Embassy, meet the Guancai Building, and walk slowly to Longtou Road. This route is more original and quiet, and closer to the most primitive pulse of Gulangyu.

Find a reliable guide

The total area of Gulangyu Island is less than 2 square kilometers, but there are more than 3 paths crowded in such a small place. The key point is that this road is mostly like the word "well" and "field", which extremely tests the sense of orientation of the brain. "Lost Gulangyu Island" is not nonsense. Many people can't find their way with a map.

Finding a reliable guide can save you a lot of time and energy and prevent you from getting lost. Through the guide, you can learn about the past appearance of the island and the lifestyle of the islanders. There are also many wild tour guides on Gulangyu Island, who usually show you around and then sell you shopping. Friends who come to Gulangyu can book regular guides in advance through regular online channels.

An excellent island viewing spot to avoid crowds

Many people spit on Sunlight Rock for two hours, and climb the rock for three minutes to see the scenery. In fact, it is not an exaggeration. Sunlight Rock is the commanding height of Gulangyu Island, overlooking the whole Gulangyu Island, and it is naturally popular. However, it is undeniable that Sunlight Rock is the most suitable island for the whole landscape. I suggest climbing the Sunlight Rock as far as possible to avoid the rush hour from 9: to 12: a.m., so that we can slowly experience the tranquility and openness.

Actually, Ronggu Villa and the top floor of Guancai Building are also excellent places to visit the island. Unfortunately, Guancai Building is not open at present, so it is impossible to climb. But Ronggu Villa, with my small team, can climb to the top to see the sea. HSBC Mansion provides another style of island viewing enjoyment-the cliff is at the foot, the waves are afraid of hitting the rocks, and looking at the sunshine and the blue sea, the heart can be slowly emptied.

how long will it take to visit Gulangyu

In terms of tour length, Gulangyu can choose one-day tour or multi-day tour. The former visits major scenic spots, while the latter travels in depth. One-day tours are recommended to avoid the peak hours of ferry arrivals in the morning and departures in the evening. It is recommended to stay in Gulangyu for one night to fully appreciate the slow time in Gulangyu.
