[2025 Xiamen Attraction] Travel Guide for Fanpo Building (Updated Apr)

❤️ From Dongdu Ferry Terminal, take a ferry to Sanqiutian Wharf on Gulangyu Island. After disembarking, I chose a route full of beautiful scenery and historical buildings, heading straight for the core scenic spot, Sunlight Rock. Here are the main attractions along this route: 1. Near Sanqiutian Wharf, there are clusters of villas and the Xiamen and Gulangyu Island signs, which are great photo spots. I also encountered a cruiser when I left the wharf (Figures 1-6). 2. The Most Beautiful Corner is full of poetry and romance, and many beautiful ladies take photos with flowers in their hair (Figures 7-8). 3. The Boat House, designed by the American Reformed Church doctor John Abraham Otte and built in 1920, is a very creative building (Figure 9). 4. Bagua Building offers stunning views of Xiamen's cityscape and houses the world's only wind organ museum. Tickets are required (Figures 10-11). 5. Yang Family Garden is a complex of villas built by the Filipino Chinese brothers, Yang Zhongquan and Yang Zhongyi (Figure 12). 6. The Foreign Lady's House, built by the Filipino Chinese, Xu Jingquan, to honor his mother, has a gorgeous and unique design. The entrance fee is 89 yuan (Figure 13). 7. Trinity Church is a historic and significant Christian church (Figure 14). There are also some niche museums along the way. Stop and enjoy the scenery; the journey to Sunlight Rock is a feast for the eyes.

I came to Xiamen with my friends for five days, and the most impressive thing was this B&B. The location is excellent, the garden restaurant and rooms are high-end and elegant. This place really gave me the feeling of a vacation, and I'm still reminiscing about my winter break. Sisters who are planning to come to Xiamen, don't hesitate, just come here! Excellent location The location is really amazing! It's in the center of Gulangyu Island, very convenient to all the attractions. It's right next to the Banpo Building, twenty meters from Trinity Church, a five-minute walk from Sunlight Rock, five or six minutes from Bagua Building, and three or four minutes from the snack street. The whole trip saved us a lot of time and transportation costs. When we were tired, we could just go upstairs and rest. After resting, we continued to explore. We were all exhausted~ Address: Xiamen - Gulangyu Island
