In Gulangyu, there are many things you can do, such as recruiting cats, teasing dogs, watching the scenery, listening to history, and eating delicious food. The ones that most impress me are the small alleys on the island. Some are quiet and some are crowded with people. Some are sacred places to take wedding photos, and some are full of the atmosphere of life. On this small island that you can measure with your feet, you can walk around the streets and visit all kinds of small shops in your spare time. You can also watch the rising and falling tide and people come and go on the beach without doing anything. This article will introduce you to some small shops on Gulangyu Island. I hope you will have good memories here like me.


Gulangyu Island is also known as the "Cat Island of the World". Cats are the mascots on the island because there are indeed many cats here, whether they are alive or signboards, in short, cats will always be encountered accidentally. Meow, the name of this store is very cute. You can read it once and make it look cute very naturally.



Please have a cup of mango soda + egg cubs for my breakfast near noon (the egg cubs are very fragrant and crispy on the outside, but my friends and I ate it with our hands and it was so ugly that we didn't take pictures)

Hi Lang is next door to Meow."When you come out to play, you have to be both hi and naughty!" This is a cultural and creative supply store. It is said that students from the Academy of Fine Arts started their own business. The colorful graffiti at the door and the works and decorations in the store all have a very artistic atmosphere.




These fish were actually painted, lifelike, as if swimming in the sky

Hailang: Address: No. 5 Drum Road



The market is next to Drum Drum Cave. There are all kinds of shells in the store. The mountains above are enclosed as if they are being repaired. Otherwise, the Beixiang Coffee on the second floor can be used to watch the sea while drinking coffee, and there is also a terrace. It is a pity that beautiful photos can be taken, but regret is also an indispensable embellishment during a journey.

There are very few people on this beach. When the sea is still at low tide, you can take a series of large films on the exposed reefs. Friends who are more good at photography can come and try it. Let's continue to live in beauty, don't wake me up!



Coffee Cantata


It's a very cute little shop. The owner is making tea and chatting in the yard. The two little cuties are sleeping soundly in front of everyone. They are unwilling to wake up no matter how hard they fuck. It's completely the life I yearn for: a small shop, two cats, three or two friends, a day of leisure.


According to my observation, both cats are younger sisters. They are still very slim now, but look at the color.

Coffee Cantata: Address: No. 107 Quanzhou Road



The winding path leads to the deep alley, and no one is seen. The building next to it is covered with weeds and is particularly dilapidated. The "sos" on the windows is a joke, adding a lot of gloom and mystery to the entire house.



Colorful ropes hang high above the brocade capitals, and girls compete for romance under the flowers. The swing is at the door of Xiaoxiasu Coffee. Young ladies passing by should not be able to help take a photo here. This swing also reminds me of that night in Lijiang a year ago, sitting in the courtyard with friends. The swing in the middle looked up at the stars in the sky, chatted about endless gossip, and shared the figs given by the landlord.


Xiaoxiao Su Coffee: Address: No. 28-6 Huangyan Road

When I passed by the gate of Shanren Pottery House, my little sister was doing handicrafts and was immediately attracted. Although I was willing but not enough, I was very keen on DIY various handicrafts and fought repeatedly. I didn't arrange too much for this journey. Time, if you have the opportunity, you can spare a day to try it.


The two women are processing, and there are many uncolored semi-finished products next to them, all engraved with names that have unusual significance to the creators.

Shanren Tao She: Address: No. 1820 Huangyan Road



Wormhole Bookstore:


When you enter the bookstore, you will always unconsciously lower the volume and slow down your pace. There are some very interesting words on the walls and ceiling inside the bookstore, which can soothe your somewhat restless heart. In the innermost room, we passed by a mother and daughter. We heard the little girl try to lower the volume and say to her mother,"Mom, will you turn off the sound of your mobile phone in the future? This is the library, and you will make a noise to others." The little girl's mother echoed softly. It makes people laugh happily.



This incense looks delicious! It is dotted with two strawberries. It should be strawberry scented incense, sweet but not greasy.

Wormhole Bookstore: Address: No. 34 Fujian Road


Fish teasing cat fish pine monopoly:


The servile nature of senior cat slaves is that when they see these things, they will think of their masters, but it is best not to give snacks to cats.

The decoration style of this house is super cute, and there is also free tasting in the store!

Entering the scenic spot is really inevitable to follow the crowd, but there is always a reason for becoming a popular crowd. Under this psychological construction, we lined up happily. This Shen family rice roll and the Turkish brother next door to him, Internet celebrity potatoes are the normal shops lined up on Gulangyu. Potatoes get fat, and girls should not be greedy for the cold, so rice rolls are the most suitable choice.


The 12-yuan basic set meal is slightly spicy and coriander. The taste is okay and it is worth the queue.

Shenjia Rice Rolls: Address: No. 57 Fujian Road

Our local friends told us that this fish ball shop is an authentic time-honored brand. The fish balls are very Q and the dumplings inside are also very delicious. For a severely picky eater like me who only eats vegetarian buns and eats dumplings, this fish ball is very pleasant.

Longtou Fish Ball Store: Address: No. 183 Longtou Road




Su Xiaotang can be said to have spread all over Xiamen's attractions. It has transformed into a symbol of Xiamen's accompanying gifts and a check-in point for Internet celebrities. The shop assistants are very enthusiastic. We were still hesitant about whether we would be kicked out if we took photos inside. Go, but the shop assistant was very enthusiastic and told us that we could also take photos upstairs!


Su Xiaotang: Address: No. 117 Longtou Road

There are sachets and bookmarks with various national elements, various postcards, and old telephones from the last century. It seems to have traveled back to the Republic of China in an instant, giving a strong sense of retro nostalgia.

Gulangyu Post and Telecommunications Branch: Address: No. 102 Longtou Road


The flamingos at the door are super passionate! The little brother in the store greeted customers in the standard saying,"Do you want to come in and wash your hands?" The decoration inside is super dreamy, with bubble balls of various colors and handmade soaps. The macaron-shaped ones have different fruity aromas, making people want to take a bite.

Monet Soap Made in Gulangyu: Address: No. 103-107 Dabancheng, Jinfeng South Street


Zhang Sanfeng is a well-known Internet celebrity milk tea shop, but today's milk tea doesn't appeal to me at all! There are three kittens in a pile of green plants at the door. They are super lively when climbing high and low. Visually, they have two younger sisters and one younger brother. They are both wearing pink collars around their necks. I don't know if they are owned, but they are completely afraid of people.














Super cute store rules

Zhang Sanfeng Milk Tea Shop: Address: No. 266 Longtou Road



Order a cup of tea, serve a dessert, and sit on the sofa for a quiet and leisurely time.

Miss Zhao's store: Address: No. 298 Longtou Road

Half of the costumes and half of the drinks, the sweet aroma fills the entire store. The first thing you do when you enter the door is to hug this deer with its head held high. Guilian has two stores on the island. We went to the larger one, which is closer to the dock.

Coco Aiai has no head, and the hair on her tail is surprisingly easy to touch. She feels like a long-legged version of Keji

Salted fish slippers are more suitable for the beach ~

Guilian (Deer): Address: No. 8 Longtou Road

Every child and little fairy can't escape the temptation of candy. There is also a beautiful photo wall specially for shooting ~


When can I wait for my little brother ~

Super surprise little egg!

I met this handsome black Labrador (it seemed to be) in a fork in the alley on Longtou Road. He was a little big. We were very careful when we went there, but we didn't expect it to come over with its tail wagging, and then leaned over at my feet and occasionally rolled over the bridge. This sense of trust can cure all bad emotions.



From the moment we boarded Gulangyu, one unexpected encounter after another and one surprise after another came one after another. Naughty kittens, bougainvillea that stands out of the wall, spoiled dogs, and unique small shops, all of them. In my opinion, the small shops in Gulangyu sell not only specialty goods, but also invaluable treasures we have explored on this romantic island.

The ticket to Gulangyu Island is the treasure map. You may not eventually be able to open the treasure, but you will pass through the most beautiful scenery.
