♡ Save
Enjoy a 2.5-hour free tour of Gulangyu Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2017. Learn about its rich history, admire historic buildings, hear fascinating stories, and taste local delicacies along the way.
I'm Bin. I'm originally from Fuzhou but have been living in Xiamen for 10 years. I love this city so much and always want to show this stunning historical island to friends from all over the world. I'm here to organize this tour just to showcase the local culture and exchange different ideas with people from diverse backgrounds. I'm not a history expert, and it's my first time to be a tour host. But I'll try my best to help you understand and recognize the local culture of Gulanyu Island from a local's perspective. The tour will include the magnificent architectures, the interesting stories of the local people, and the street food on the island. And I don't mind showing you around the city if you're interested.
