Xiamen International Marathon: Information & Comments |Ĭhina's Xiamen marathon to be held on Nov 27 - state media (Reuters) It is worth the climb but the squeeze with the crowd is terrifying.Xiamen International Marathon News Articles The sunset is beautiful and the panoramic view magnificent. Majority of the crowd went up during dusk solely to see the sunset. So, be careful when you are using your hand phone to take photos of the sunset or the panoramic view of the island. I am not sure how the security can retrieve her hand phone as the one attempting the act may just slip down the steep slope of the hill and get killed. She stood there staring helplessly at her hand phone and crying while her boyfriend was trying to contact the security to help to retrieve the hand phone. She saw her hand phone resting on the edge of the mountain but she just could not climb over the railing to retrieve her hand phone. I saw a couple sit so near to the edge of the hilltop and the girl's hand phone accidentally slipped out of her grip and dropped to the edge of the boulder. With the jostling of the crowd, it is very risky to take out your hand phone near the railing because a little push from someone in the crowd may result in your hand phone slipped out of your grip and fell into the bottom of the valley below. Everyone was squeezing their way up the narrow staircase while the departing visitors are taking the same staircase down. You can imagine the crowd at the summit of this mountain.

But it is a must visit top attraction in Gulangyu island for 2 simple reasons: the beautiful sunset and the panoramic scenery of the island. It takes about 20 to 40 mins to reach the summit. ![]() Riguang Mountain (日光岩) is not very high even lower than our Bukit Timah Hill in Singapore.
