With no fresh water, no motor vehicles, and no commercial development, this fairy island, only 6 nautical miles away from Xiamen's main island, seems particularly mysterious. Even local people who are born and raised have not been there.


["Three Noes" Islands] No fresh water, no motor vehicles, no commercial development

Six nautical miles away from Xiamen, there is a "Sanwu Island"-Yuyu, a real fishing village island. Yuyu Island belongs to Gangwei Town, Longhai, Zhangzhou, facing the Twin Towers of Xiamen University across the sea.

The so-called "three noes" means no fresh water, no motor vehicles, and no commercial development. If a local friend invites you to your house to make tea, that's top treatment-because, in Yuyu, water is more expensive than fish! As an isolated island, the fresh water on the island is transported in from other places by water carriers, and the price is as high as 25 yuan/ton! Xiamen's water bill is about 3 yuan/ton, which is 8 times more! Moreover, fresh water on the island is not supplied 24 hours a day. It is not supplied at night when you get off work, so a water tower must be kept at home to facilitate water storage. Therefore, the preciousness of fresh water can be seen.


[Traffic Arrival] How to get to Yuyu?


The seemingly mysterious Yuyu actually only faces the Twin Towers across the sea. From Heping Wharf, you can buy a ticket and take a cruise ship to set off directly to Yuyu. The return ticket is 98 yuan.


[What are you doing in Yuyu?]

Because of the "Three Noes", few people know about it, tourists are rare, and the island has a fairy aura of isolation.

Feel the tranquility of island fishing villages, feel the fun of chasing the sea and waves, and feel the precipitation of characteristic folk beliefs and culture...

As long as you want, you can experience the small blessing of 'being slow in the past' on a simple fishing village island.

There are various temples along the way. The children of the sea all respect Mazu very much. Mazu Temple, Xingwangfu Temple, Tudi Temple... can be seen everywhere

The islanders 'dependence on gods is relatively strong, and folk beliefs have been well continued as a result.

Cute graffiti attracts everyone to check in

Watch a puppet show under the old banyan tree. The banyan tree was planted during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty. The tree is filled with fluttering prayer ribbons, which contain countless expectations and wishes of the villagers. The children's favorite puppet shows are brilliant. The few plays include skills such as silk dancing and stick dancing, and unique skills such as calligraphy and face-changing, which make people's eyes fixed.

[Sea Pastoral] Fishing rafts come up to have fun. Sailing boats, motorboats, sea fishing... all kinds of sea attractions will make you full of benefits.

Fish steaks will be given a fish feeding performance at noon to watch the fish compete for food. There are also free board games and chess and cards available to ensure that you have something to chat about.

[What do you eat in Yuyu?]

The breakfast in Yuyu is very Southern Fujian. Carrying the breath of the sea, hidden in the alley, moderately sweet and salty. Vegetable cakes, fried dough sticks, fried dates, meat dumplings... were all swept away by the villagers as soon as they arrived late. After all, this is an ancient morning flavor that people in southern Fujian love.

When you are tired from shopping, come to "Ouyu" to eat and drink. In summer, cool hand-cranked milk tea is standard to keep you cool.

How can I miss seafood when I come to Yuyu? Ganyu Island is located at the exit of Jiulong River. The seafood has been beaten by the waves, and the meat is delicious, sweet and refreshing. The all-fish banquet aroused everyone's eagerness.
