Good to know
- Due to the limited number of ferry tickets, the order of the itinerary may be adjusted without affecting the guest's schedule. The specific arrangement will be based on the time schedule of the Gulangyu ferry tickets.
- Gulangyu Island implements a real-name system. Tourists must provide accurate names and ID numbers when registering. Boarding is permitted only when the ticket, identification, and passenger information match. (Children without ID cards can bring their household registration book). Our company is not responsible if passengers are unable to board due to their own reasons, such as incorrect or missing information, or temporary changes in travelers.
- Group tickets are valid for same-day use, and group passengers must enter and leave the island at the same time. Tourists who leave the group early or stay overnight on Gulangyu Island should purchase their own return ticket at the ferry terminal window for 18 yuan/person.
