Where is Gulangyu better to see the sunrise? Best time to watch sunrise on kulangsu

Gulangyu can be said to be the place to play in Xiamen, so where can Gulangyu see the sunrise? In fact, there are not many places to see the sunrise on kulangsu, but they are all good places to see the sunrise. When can I see the sunrise on kulangsu?

Introduction to kulangsu

Kulangsu (English: kulangsu) was originally named "yuansha island", also known as "yuanzhouzai". It was named "wulongyu" in the Southern Song Dynasty and renamed "kulangsu" in the Ming Dynasty. Because there is a reef more than two meters high on the beach in the southwest of the island, and there are caves in it. When the tide surges, the waves hit the reef, which sounds like a drum. People call it "the drum wave stone". Therefore, Gulangyu gets its name. Gulangyu is the largest island in Xiamen, with short and crisscross streets.

The Greenland coverage rate of kulangsu is more than 40%, and the plant population is rich. There are more than 90 families and 1000 species of trees, shrubs, vines and ground cover plants. Representative scenic spots include: Sun Guangyan, Shuzhuang garden, Haoyue garden, Yuyuan, gulangshi, Gulangyu Piano Museum, Zheng Chenggong memorial hall, undersea world, natural bathing beach, sea paradise structure, etc.

Gulangyu scenic spot has won the honor of national 5A tourist attraction, national key cultural relics protection unit, the most beautiful five urban areas in China, etc. On July 8, 2017, 'kulangsu: an international historical community' was included in the world heritage list, becoming the 52nd world heritage project in China.

Sunrise time

Sunrise and sunset time in summer: about 5:30 and 19:00

Winter sunrise and sunset time: about 6:30 and 17:20

In fact, the time will change with the seasons. For example, today's sunrise time is about 6:10.

Where does Gulangyu see sunrise

Do you like to see the sunrise on the sea or go to the mountain to see the sunrise? It's the sunlit rock that climbs the mountain to see the sunrise. But I recommend two more ones to watch the sunrise on the sea;

First: along Huandao South Road, this one is facing the East. It's right to see the sunrise. Moreover, the beach line is long and the view is good. Sunlight rock is the commanding point of kulangsu. Besides sunrise and sunset, you can also see the panorama of kulangsu. The scenery is very good!

Second: the sea beach of Guanyin Mountain is also oriented to the East. The sunrise is good. Maybe the environment is not as good as the one above.
