The Travel of the Stars will introduce you to some scenic spots and angles suitable for shooting in Gulangyu
1. Architectural street scene: The buildings near the Concord Chapel are very Western-style and well preserved, which is suitable for photographing the era of modern China and foreign cultures. When shooting, you can find a good angle, avoid the crowd, and let the sky come into view.
2. Seaside night view: The Piano Pier and the Huandao Road along the coast towards Haoyue Park are very suitable for taking pictures of the seaside night scene.
At the Piano Pier, you can take pictures of the buildings across the sea, projecting images of the shadows of coconut trees swaying in the tropical evening, which looks dreamy and romantic, with a strong contrast between orange and night, showing the beauty of a mirage
On the Huandao Road along the coast towards Haoyue Garden, you can photograph the sailboat shape of Xiamen's "Twin Towers" and the emerald green viaduct, the smooth lines of the two are perfectly integrated, concise and neat, the lines are beautiful, and the visual heat is very cool.
3. Local small street scenes: Landscapes that capture details can focus the center well, and can also avoid other groups of people from entering the camera. You can shoot upwards to avoid crowds, and use the "V8/valence" filter in VSCO to shoot the effect of the Gulangyu building-specific filter.
In addition to the beautiful attractions, Gulangyu Island also has many delicious foods.
There are many famous snacks here, such as fish ball soup, sand tea noodles, bamboo shoot jelly, fried oysters, roast pork dumplings, peanut soup, etc. These snacks are very delicious and leave a lasting impression.

The freshness of the oysters, the glutinous sweet potato flour, and the crispiness of the egg edges, accompanied by refreshing shredded cucumbers and local secret sweet and spicy sauce. It is said that the oysters are picked out by the boss from Longhai's hometown every day and transported to Gulangyu Island, so the ingredients are very fresh every day.
