How to get to Gulangyu from Fuzhou

You can go to Xiamen by train or bus from Fuzhou. There are buses to the ferry at the railway station or bus station, and then take the Xiamen-Drum Ferry to Gulangyu Island. You can get a ticket for 3 yuan (the ticket is a coin, but there can be more, which is a very good souvenir). Real estate such as pies on Gulangyu Island is more expensive, and food in Xiamen is much more expensive. You can bring something to eat or go to town for dinner after playing. Personally, I think Sun Guangyan is worth visiting among the scenic spots on Gulangyu Island. It is the highest point of Gulangyu Island, overlooking the whole island and the coastal scenery belt of Xiamen. You can't go to other scenic spots, which is of little value, but there are many tickets. If you are healthy (there is no bus on the island, only a battery tour bus, and the fare is not cheap), you can walk around the island, which is very tasty, and you can also go to the seaside to play, but you must pay attention to sun protection.

Accommodation Personally, I think it is better to live in the city. Xiamen has convenient transportation and many buses, which can save accommodation (you can book online in advance, which may be very affordable). For example, accommodation in Xiamen University is more affordable.

If you go with a few friends, personally, I suggest you go around the island. From Hu Lishan to Yefengzhai, you can rent a bicycle for two or three people and enjoy the scenery while riding. Very enjoyable.
