Book the correct visitor ferry

Use Xiamen Ferry Company's official channel, carry the original passport used for booking and confirm the departure wharf. Visitor and resident ferry routes are not interchangeable.
Walk one Gulangyu circuit
鼓浪屿
Choose a compact circuit around public lanes and one or two ticketed sites. Keep your ferry return flexible within the official ticket rules and avoid unlicensed speedboats.
Finish around Zhongshan Road
中山路
After returning to Xiamen Island, use the old commercial street as a simple evening finish. Confirm prices before ordering seafood or packaged souvenirs.
