You can bring your own book to get the special seal for free. It is very beautiful. On the cruise ship, the staff will introduce you to the seal culture of the island. Of course, at this time, the staff on the ship will sell you seal books. The price is not expensive, and the price on the island is almost the same. It is recommended that you bring a small notebook or blank paper to stamp your favorite attractions. In addition to Gulangyu Island, stamping places can often be seen at other attractions or shops in Xiamen.
