I would like to continue sharing the pictures taken during my trip to Xiamen China recently. There are not many places to visit in Xiamen, when i asked the local people where to visit, they told me only Gulangyu Island..The only transport to this island is by ferry, about 5 minutes from Xiamen city center.Gulangyu Island is renowned for its beaches and winding lanes and its varied architecture.
We engaged this lady as our tour guide. She just approached us at the ferry counter and she requested a very minimum fee..There are many peoples similar like her to earn little money as tour guide..
Let me share with you the Colonial architecture on Gulangyu island..
Gulangyu island is a car free island, this is the only transport to carry goods..
This is the beach, don't think one can enjoy at this beach in view of so many tourists..
I tried this local famous snack 金包银 , a steamed bun with full of mushrooms filling, quite good!
going back to Xiamen city by ferry

Sonia, thanks for sharing the photos. That refreshed my memory in the island. I remembered the tourguide kept pushing us to the tea tasting place and wanted us to buy some. I got no choice but to tell her that I'm allegy to any kind of tea leaves. Haha!
the bun looks a bit like our Chai Kueh.
Nice pictures and that steamed bun looks so tempting!
Thanks for sharing the pictures from your trip!

A small interesting town, lovely architecture:)
