FAQ: Xiamen Private Tours

The first time I went to Gulangyu I missed the boat. Not by five minutes — by a whole afternoon. I had read somewhere that you buy the ferry ticket at the old Lujiang wharf on the seafront, walked there from my hotel in Zhongshan Road, queued behind a school group, and got to the window to be told that visitors on tourist visas had been moved to the cruise terminal at Dongdu, six kilometres up the coast, and that the day’s sailings were sold out apart from a 16:40 sailing.
