The most efficient route is taking Metro Line 1 from "Shigu Lu Station," a 10-minute walk from the site, reaching Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street and Luntan Pier in about 25 minutes.

Must-visit photo locations: "Eye of the Ocean" installation at the park entrance, the painted alleyway in Cen Cuo An, and the glass dome of the sea-view reading room. Use natural lighting and a soft lens to achieve cinematic-quality images. Wear bright-colored outfits to stand out against the blue and white backdrop.

Note: Tripods are prohibited in some areas—check signage beforehand to ensure compliance.

Nighttime highlights include: the park’s limited-time "Starlight Journey" tour, beachside camping (bookable in advance), and lantern-making workshops. These immersive events offer unforgettable evenings for couples and families. Pre-book via official channels to avoid full capacity.

Marco Polo Xiamen

Staying at Marco Polo Xiamen was an absolute delight from start to finish. The value for money is outstanding—this level of luxury and service for the price is truly impressive. From the moment you walk in, the elegant lobby with live piano music sets a warm, welcoming tone. The staff at the entrance greet guests with genuine politeness, making you feel instantly at home. Check-in was smooth and friendly, with staff who were attentive, efficient, and always smiling. I especially appreciated Wendy—her professionalism and attention to detail made a big difference. The room itself was spotless, well-appointed, and fully equipped with essentials like a fridge, kettle, and hairdryer. Everything felt clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. After a full day exploring Gulangyu Island, I didn’t even want to leave the hotel—I just wanted to stay longer. This experience exceeded all expectations. If you're visiting Xiamen, this is definitely a top choice. Highly recommend it!

X Future Hotel Xiamen

The service here truly stands out—friendly, responsive, and genuinely attentive. I reached out to the hotel manager, Mr. Cai, with a few questions, and he got back to me quickly with helpful solutions. The suite offered a great mix of city and sea views, spacious layout with two bathrooms, which was super convenient for groups or families. While there’s no bathtub, the rest of the amenities are well thought out, including a mahjong machine—perfect for some fun evenings. Breakfast was standard but satisfying. What really made this stay special was the warm hospitality and personal touch. If you value excellent service and a comfortable, well-designed space, this is a top choice. Definitely planning to return.

Kempinski Hotel Xiamen

I started with a king-size room and later switched to a twin-bed room. Honestly, I found the king-size room had a more spacious and open layout—much more comfortable overall. The twin room was still quite large, but felt slightly cramped in comparison, especially the bathroom area. It also seemed less well-maintained—the tiles had water stains, and there was a faint odor coming from the drain. That said, cleanliness across the room was still good, and the beds were nicely soft with high-quality linens that made for a very restful night’s sleep. If the twin room’s maintenance could be improved—especially around the bathroom—the experience would be even better. Overall, the king-size room stood out as the clear winner in terms of comfort and space, making it a great choice for travelers who value a relaxed, airy feel.

Huangjia Garden Binhai Hotel

Our company team-building event brought us to Huangjia Garden Binhai Hotel, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The property is spacious and beautifully designed with a charming South Seas courtyard vibe—perfect for exploring and taking photos. All facilities are well-maintained and thoughtfully provided. Cleanliness was top-notch throughout the stay, and the overall environment felt peaceful and inviting. Staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive—from check-in to our afternoon tea experience. We especially appreciated the welcome fruit basket featuring fresh milk lychees, which our colleagues loved for their sweet, crisp flavor. The South Seas-themed afternoon tea was a highlight: elegant presentation, delicious pastries, and a relaxed atmosphere that made bonding over tea and conversation easy and enjoyable. It’s rare to find such a seamless blend of comfort, charm, and service. Highly recommend this hotel for groups or anyone looking for a memorable, stress-free getaway.

Yuhai Linhai Seaview Villa Hotel

This stay was so memorable that I just had to leave a review even though the hotel didn’t ask for one—this deserves a huge thumbs up! The location is perfect: right on the main street, super easy to access without dragging luggage up steep hills. You’re close to everything—shops, restaurants, and attractions—but somehow still tucked away in a peaceful corner with a private seaside courtyard. Just sitting there sipping tea while watching the waves is pure bliss. The staff were incredibly attentive and thoughtful, especially the afternoon tea service which was beautifully presented and delicious. If I had to point out one tiny flaw, it’s the glass partition between the bathroom and bedroom—it feels a bit awkward in terms of privacy and design, but it’s not enough to ruin the experience.

HUMBLE HALL

I finally made it to Humble Hall on Gulangyu Island, and wow—this place truly stole my heart from the moment I arrived. The atmosphere is serene and warm, with a quiet elegance that immediately sets the tone. While the building’s history is fascinating, what really stood out was the exceptional attention to detail in service. Before arriving on the island, I was welcomed into a dedicated support group that helped confirm my check-in time and provided a helpful guide. As soon as I stepped off the boat, a personal concierge met me at the dock with a refreshing winter melon tea and took care of my luggage—such a thoughtful touch. Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with hot tea and tea biscuits served right away. Stepping into my room felt like entering a carefully curated sanctuary: vintage-style keys, handcrafted ceramics, and furniture with character. On the desk sat a handwritten welcome card, tucked under a natural stone—a small but meaningful gesture. Hidden within were several delightful surprises: 1. A personalized walking map of the island. 2. A pair of handmade afternoon teas—yes, the chiffon cake was absolutely heavenly, light and fluffy with just the right amount of sweet, paired perfectly with rich, salty cream. It might be one of the best cakes I’ve ever had! The pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste, so a slight reduction could elevate it even further. 3. A breakfast experience blending local flavors with an all-you-can-eat buffet—especially loved the yogurt. 4. Warm milk delivered before bedtime (and extra festive touches during New Year’s Eve: hot red wine and roasted cotton candy—so cozy!). 5. An immersive tea culture workshop called ‘Er San Cong,’ where I learned about traditional tea preparation in a beautifully intimate setting. Every little thing felt intentional—from the thoughtful amenities to the quiet moments of connection. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s an experience that lingers long after you leave. If you’re looking for something special, authentic, and deeply memorable, this is it.

Mercure Hotel (Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street Seaview)

Traveling with my mom to Xiamen, I specifically booked a sea-view room at this hotel and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The location is unbeatable—right next to the beach, and just a short walk to Zhongshan Road and Baishi Market for shopping and local food. I was a bit concerned about renovation noise on the upper floors, but the front desk confirmed it only happens on weekends, so no worries. The room assigned was exactly what we wanted, both in floor level and view. Breakfast was good, though could use a bit more variety. Special thanks to concierge Yang who greeted us warmly upon arrival, checked in on our comfort, and even brought fresh welcome fruit—a thoughtful touch. On departure day, we had a late afternoon flight, and I asked if we could extend checkout time. Front desk staff Xiao Huang saw we were traveling with an elder and kindly extended our check-out to 1:30 PM—so appreciative! This hotel offers great value, excellent service, and genuine care. I’ll definitely be back here on my next visit to Xiamen.

Chunguang Hotel

Absolutely worth every penny! This hotel is perfectly located just steps away from Zhongshan Road and the ferry terminal—saving me so much time on transit. The room was spacious and bright, with soft, breathable bedding that made for a restful night’s sleep. I especially loved the blackout curtains—they kept the morning sun out, letting me sleep in peacefully. The staff went above and beyond: they helped me plan my itinerary and even offered free luggage storage. It’s clear they care about guest experience. A top-tier stay with exceptional value—definitely coming back!

Urba Hotel (Xiamen Airport Huli Avenue)

This was my solo trip to Xiamen for a training session, and staying at Urba Hotel (Xiamen Airport Huli Avenue) turned out to be one of the best decisions. I arrived late at night, and the staff immediately checked in to see if I had any special needs. Since I wanted a quiet room, they promptly assigned me a unit far from the elevator—perfect for a good night's rest. The next morning, I tried to sleep in but was disturbed by ongoing construction noise. Instead of just ignoring it, the front desk proactively offered to stop the work if it bothered me—I just needed to message them. They even followed up later via WeChat to confirm whether the noise had affected my rest. That level of care and attention is rare these days. The service went above and beyond, making the entire stay incredibly comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend this hotel for both business travelers and solo visitors alike.

Gulangyu Lijiayuan Seaview Villa Hotel (Sanqiutian Wharf)

Our kids specifically asked to stay here — and we’re so glad they did! The room was fantastic, and even though it’s been two years since our last visit, it still feels brand new with clean, well-maintained furnishings. The only minor downside is the empty pool in the courtyard — it looks a bit bare without water, but adding some plants could really bring it to life. Still, the swing was a big hit — my kids were swinging non-stop and laughing their heads off! The location is super convenient, just a short walk from Sanqiutian Wharf, and the overall vibe is peaceful and charming. For families looking for a relaxing, authentic getaway on Gulangyu Island, this place is absolutely worth a return visit.

The room itself is modern, spotless, and freshly decorated, with every detail thoughtfully done. Cleanliness, comfort, and attention to service are all top-notch.
