Watch the sunrise at the top of the mountain.

However, it is dangerous to climb mountains in the dark in the morning, so pay attention to safety. There is Moxin Mountain next to Genting Rock, which is also a very good place to watch the sunrise. Moxin Mountain can go to Qianpu or Ruijing New Village. Although there are steps to pave the way, we should pay attention to safety.

Watch the sunrise in the exhibition center.
The Convention and Exhibition Center is located in the southeast corner of Xiamen, which is the end of Meilidao Road. It is surrounded by mountains and seas, and the environment is open. Relatively speaking, this is the suburb of Xiamen Island, so the air is relatively fresh. A row of railings by the sea, outside is the vast sea. Standing by the sea and looking east, you can see the first ray of sunshine in Xiamen. Breathing the freshest air and bathing in the brightest sunshine, that feeling is wonderful!
Watch the sunrise in Yefengzhai
You can also watch the sunrise here. The beach line is long, there are many places to look for, and the view is the largest. Golden Gate Island is in the south, so it can't stop the sunrise. The transportation to Yefengzhai is also very convenient.
Watch the sunrise on the mountain.
Guanyin Mountain, located in the east of Xiamen, is a good place to watch the sunrise. The seaside has a wide field of vision, clear water and white beaches. However, Guanyin Mountain is far from the urban area.
Watch the sunrise in other places
In addition to the above places to watch the sunrise, there are several places to watch the sunrise in Xiamen, such as Hu Lishan Fort. However, there should be no door open at sunrise, so you can't go in.
