regret it! 🛥 Ferry Strategy 🎫 To book ferry tickets online, you need to follow 'Yu Jian Xiamen'. There are three piers: Xiamen-Gulangyu Pier, First Pier, and Songgu Pier. I personally recommend the following: ✅ Xiamen-Gulangyu Pier—Sanqiutian Pier 💰35 (round trip included), the earliest departure is at 07:10, with a ferry every 20 minutes ‼️ Ferry tickets are valid for return within 20 days ⚠️ It is recommended to book tickets 2-3 days in advance during peak season, but you can buy tickets on-site on weekdays 📸 The ferry ride only takes about ten minutes.
