Moreover, the prices on the island are not as expensive as expected, and the water is also at ordinary prices. You can spend a day wandering around!

What’s more worth mentioning is that Gulangyu has the most beautiful corner! Because of its romantic connotation, it has become a holy place of love. Many tourists or male and female friends will come here to take pictures.
