Danshui Alley

Step into Dan Shui Alley and be transported to old Xiamen! This century-old lane on Gulangyu Island blends vintage tile houses with hip artisan shops, where stray cats sunbathing and ginger tea aromas create unexpected delights. Don't miss the authentic kung fu tea brewed with well water at the alley's end, while owners share tales of 'water carriers' in melodic Minnan dialect.
