By Air
Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (XMN), 10–13 km away — a taxi to the Dongdu (Cruise Center) ferry terminal takes 20–30 minutes (¥40–60); budget route: shuttle to Gaoqi metro station, Line 1 to Lücuo, then Line 2 to Cruise Center station. From late December 2026 flights are set to move to the new Xiang'an airport — check which one you land at.

Tourist route: Xiamen Cruise Terminal → Sanqiutian Pier, ~20 minutes, ¥35 round trip; buy via the official WeChat account up to 15 days ahead.
By Ferry (Neicuo'ao)
The western-island pier — quieter, chosen by guests staying on that side.
Night Sailings from Lundu
