Is there a limit on the number of people on Gulangyu Island? How many people are limited to Gulangyu Island per day? Do you need a ticket to that island?

In addition to the issues mentioned by the editor just now, we are more concerned about this. There are other issues that we should be more concerned about. The question is whether tickets are needed for Gulangyu Island and whether you want to go to Gulangyu Island at any time every day. The number of people on Gulangyu Island is limited, but you can’t just go if you want to.

1. Is there any limit on the number of people on Gulangyu Island?

It is restricted. During the epidemic, the number of people is relatively strict and may change at any time. Please check reservation information in advance.

2. How many people are limited to Gulangyu Island every day?

Due to the epidemic, the number of people on Gulangyu Island is limited: the maximum daily carrying capacity of Gulangyu Scenic Area is adjusted to 37,500 people.

Xiamen Ferry Company stated that the maximum daily tourist capacity of Gulangyu Scenic Area has been adjusted: In order to further protect the cultural heritage of Gulangyu Island, strengthen scenic area management, improve tourism quality, and optimize the living environment, after research, it has been decided to adjust the maximum daily tourist capacity of Gulangyu Scenic Area. The carrying capacity is adjusted to 50,000 passengers, effective from June 30, 2008.

Gulangyu Island has a limited number of people, which is also good for tourists. Think about it. If you go to the island during holidays and walk on Longtou Road, you will not be able to appreciate the beautiful scenery around you when there are many people. As the only food street on the island, people have to queue up to get a meal. When you go to the beach to watch the sunset, you see all the people. Therefore, limiting the number of people on Gulangyu Island is very beneficial to tourists, but it only hurts those tourists who come from afar and do not book rooms in advance.

3. Do I need tickets to go to Gulangyu Island?

No tickets are required to go to the island. But you need boat tickets and transportation fees.

Gulangyu Island is visited by boat, so a boat ticket is required. It is best to buy the ferry ticket online in advance and then take the boat at Dudong Cruise Terminal for 35 yuan. Remember to bring your ID card. When you get to the island, you don’t need tickets if you don’t go to those attractions. If you want to go to some attractions, you have to buy tickets. It is recommended that you visit Xinzhuang Garden (it also has a beautiful legend) and the Underwater World (many marine animals). There are coupons for attractions. You can also look online.

After you go to Gulangyu Island, you don’t need tickets, but there are several scenic spots that require tickets. It depends on whether you want to go to them all. The 100 yuan coupon is valid for one day. It seems you can go to all five attractions, such as Sunlight Rock, Guzhuang Garden (Piano Museum), Haoyue Garden and Bird Garden. In fact, they are very average. We only went to Sunlight Rock and Guzhuang Garden. Xinzhuang Garden Ticket 30 is a private mansion built by a well-known person in Taiwan. It includes the Piano Museum. If you like it, you can check it out. There are actually many pianos on display, many of which were used by royal families and nobles from the 16th to 19th centuries, and they are all works of art.

4. How to book tickets to Gulangyu Island

Currently, there are three ways I know of to buy tickets for Gulangyu Island: Xiamen Ferry official website, WeChat, and the terminal window.

Generally, there are more people booking ferries through WeChat on the official website, especially during holidays, such as the current summer vacation. You must book 7-10 days in advance, because the number of people on the island every day is limited, and the number of ferries during holidays, winter and summer vacations is indeed the same. Tickets are hard to come by.

Another factor is that Gulangyu Island has recently been successfully applied for World Heritage status, and it is estimated that another wave of people will flock here.

——Gulangyu is in the urban area, and there are boats to Gulangyu 24 hours a day, but the pier from Xiamen to Gulangyu is different at different times.

From 07:30 to 18:30, tourists enter and leave Gulangyu Island at the Cruise Center Pier (also known as Guxia Pier and Dudong Pier).

18:50-06:30 is the night sailing time. The pier for tourists entering and leaving Xiamen is at the ferry terminal (diagonally opposite the Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street).

Most tourists will choose to disembark at Sanqiutian Pier on Gulangyu Island because this pier is close to business districts and attractions.
