Gulangyu: choose the wharves before the ferry

Choose both the departure wharf and the Gulangyu arrival before buying your ticket.

From the Xiamen guide

Two ends of a ferry journey to check.

For daytime visitors start with Dongdu/Xiagu Cruise Terminal, not the resident terminal beside Zhongshan Road. Sanqiutian and Neicuo'ao are different island arrivals; choose with your hotel's walking plan.

Before you set off

Read both wharf names on the current booking screen. Match the island arrival to your walking plan before confirming.
