※Transportation in Gulangyu鼓浪嶼

Just visited Gulangyu (a small island next to Xiamen, China) and really loved the place, even though I had only visited there twice in one week.

Here is the Chinese version and Japanese version.

※一週最愛Favorite of the week



The streets on Gulangyu are very complex. Besides garbage truck and police car, people can't even ride bikes on the island. There are some electric buses for tourists who can't walk too long. So the air is very clean and the neighborhood is very quiet in Gulangyu, due to no motor vehicle on the island.


Normally pedestrian can walk by themselves. When it comes to load some heavy goods, manpower hauls everything.


There are lots of ancient houses on Gulangyu, therefore lots of construction sites. You can see this kind of manpower carrying materials everywhere on the island.


Of course gas delivers by manpower too.


A place has no motor vehicle it's very interesting for a tourist like me, don't know what local people would think...
