Kulangsu is without a doubt one of the most magical and unique places in all of China, capable of completely enchanting you from the very first moment. This island has something magnetic about it, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle of the modern world for a while and step into a completely different era.What strikes you immediately upon stepping off the ferry is the pervasive, soothing peace. The fact that a complete ban on motor vehicles is enforced across the entire island—no cars, scooters, or noisy motorbikes—completely changes the dynamic of exploring.

Kulangsu is not called the Island of Pianos for nothing. Walking through the shaded, narrow alleys, you get the impression that this entire place lives to its own unhurried rhythm, where the past seamlessly blends with the preseent.

The botanical garden is large, built against the mountain, and the overall scenery is pleasant. The main attractions are the Rainforest World, the succulent area, various flowering plants and shrubs, and a seven-tiered escalator.

Visiting the Zhonggu Cableway in early October, with its clear skies and gentle breezes, offered the perfect opportunity to experience the breathtaking aerial views, far removed from the sweltering heat of midsummer. The Zhonggu Cableway traverses the Wanshi Mountain forest, and the gentle ascent in the cable car provides a unique and immersive experience, offering panoramic views of Xiamen from above. The cable car cabins are open-plan, offering unobstructed views. As the cable car slowly ascends, lush subtropical forests line both sides, their verdant foliage and fresh mountain air filling the air. With each ascent, the view gradually expands, revealing the verdant Zhonggu Mountain range nearby, and in the distance, the red-tiled roofs of Xiamen's old town, along with the high-rise buildings and the bay, unfolding in a harmonious tapestry. Reaching the highest point, one can gaze upon Gulangyu Island and the boundless sea, taking in the panoramic view of the city, mountains, and azure ocean blending seamlessly into a breathtaking panorama. The entire journey takes approximately forty minutes one way, with a smooth and leisurely ride, ideal for savoring the scenery at a leisurely pace.

The only drawback is the long queues during peak hours; it's recommended to travel during off-peak times. The cabins offer no shade, so remember to wear sunscreen when the sun is strong. Sitting in the cable car, with the mountain breeze in your ears and overlooking the entire city, you'll feel incredibly relaxed.

We didn't catch any squid, but the owner helped us by casting a net every half hour, bringing up quite a few. We had a barbecue on the boat, which was a nice way to relax and have some fun in the evening. Even though we didn't catch any fish, we still had a barbecue and seafood porridge dinner.
