Renowned as a former Western residential area, Gulangyu is famous for its architecture and is home to China’s only piano museum, earning it the nickname “Piano Island.” For panoramic views of the island and Xiamen, climb Sunlight Rock. Explore Shuzhuang Garden, with its bamboo forest, caves, and sea-view slopes, and visit the Piano Museum for a fascinating journey through the history and culture of pianos, featuring a collection of over 100 models from around the world.
