🚢 Xiamen Gulangyu Island Ferry Tickets·Children’s free and half-price ticket purchase guide
Before traveling, buying the right ticket for your child is the first step to travel safely .
Regarding the children's ticket issue that parents are most concerned about, Xiamen Ferry's preferential policy is very clear: children under 6 years old, or children under 1.2 meters in height, can enjoy free ferry tickets.
But please note that free children also need to apply for free tickets with their real names .
If you plan to buy tickets, add the relevant information of "free children" online in advance, so that you can print the ticket directly at the self-service machine, thus saving time queuing at the window.
If you forget to register, you must go to the dock window at least 60 minutes in advance with your child's ID, such as household registration book, birth certificate, etc.
A special reminder is that each adult can bring two children free of charge. If the number exceeds the specified quota, then you need to purchase a half-price child ticket.
There are some minors who are over 6 years old but under 14 years old, or whose height is over 1.2 meters but not over 1.5 meters. For these minors, you should buy half-price discount tickets.
Here is a pitfall guide with the color #FF6B35: Age and height will be checked at the ticket check-in area. If you meet the conditions for a full-price ticket but purchase a half-price ticket, you will need to pay the difference before boarding the ship, which may delay your trip.
Therefore, it is recommended that parents accurately check the option of "Children buy tickets at half price" based on their children's exact ID card information in their household registration book when purchasing tickets to ensure that the ticket and ID card information are consistent, so as to achieve smooth passage.
