Xiamen Gulangyu round trip ferry ticket

Collection of tickets at 东渡码头 on second floor was a breeze. Met our tour guide at Gulangyu pier. He is a resident on the island. Enjoyed the 2hrs tour walking tour with his explanation and ended the tour with a visit to a tea house which he led us. Worth a visit!

From the Xiamen International Cruise Center (=Cruise Center Xiamen-Gulangyu Terminal, Dongdu Terminal/Dongdu Tongyi Terminal), tourists can only enter the pier from here. After arriving at the cruise center, go up to the 2nd floor ticket office to exchange tickets (passport/Taiwan Compatriot Card), then line up according to the on-site indicator lights. When the time is right, you can go to Sanqiutian Pier on Gulangyu Island~ The boat ride takes about 20 minutes and is quite punctual, overall it's good! There are really a lot of people on holidays, so please be aware. There will be some merchandise sold on the boat, you can buy it as a souvenir if you want.

Just input dongdu ferry terminal on didi destination and arrive at least 1 hour before with your passport to exchange for your ferry ticket.

Very easy to redeem, just head up to the second floor customer service counter to redeem tickets with your passport

Instructions for ticket redemption and usage is straightforward. Transport by ferry offers good views of xiamen and gulangyu island.

We didn't realise that we can just book the ferry ticket without the tour guide by just selecting "Sanqiutian Pier" (which is at Gulangyu). Also not sure where is "Pier 1" and "ferry terminal". Ended up choosing "ferry ticket + shuttle bus". The tour agency staff communicated with us, via WeChat, a day after purchased from Klook, and a day before the trip to Gulangyu. Meeting time was much earlier, 9.05am (instead of 9.40am-10am). Bus brought us to Songyu Wharf, about 17km (40mins drive) from our meeting point near "Chunguang Hotel Zhongshan Road". Tour guide offered us some optional attractions packages (no hard-selling). We saw a few attractions counters NOT accepting walk-ins or sold out for the day. Returning ferry is flexible timing between 3pm – 8pm. “Most Beautiful Corner” has a myth, which is not recommended for couples to take photos/video. Network is slightly "challenging" on the island.

easy redemption with good support from ground staff to guide you. we had a simple day in the island and there were many local artists singing around the place. it was comfortable and relaxing.

Highly recommend booking your Klook Gulangyu ferry tickets in advance to avoid long queues on-site, or having to deal with unfamiliar WeChat/Alipay mini-programs to grab tickets. It also prevents being pressured or scammed by tourist agents selling expensive package tours on-site. Relax and enjoy your travel time.

Nice that they also accompanied tourists and gave the possibility of visiting the touristic sites. The island was more worthwhile than the touristic sites. Unfortunately, not a world of English.

Buying round-trip ferry tickets online through Klook is the most convenient way to get to Gulangyu Island. Redeeming the tickets is easy, just be sure to wait for your scheduled time. Ferries back from Gulangyu Island are available 24 hours a day.
