鐘鼓索道

鐘鼓索道位於廈門植物園旁，若安排行程，可安排在同一天。索道全程40 mins，雖則是包含來回票，實際是單程，因䌫車到另一端後根本不能落車，就算落車也沒有任何景點及沒有路徑下山。此外車廂是2人一卡，若一家三口，另一人須與陌生人拼車，座位很窄，所以有點尷尬。若不想與陌生人同坐，須多付$80才可單獨乘坐。因此性價比不高。

Did my research mainly from the red note and this is one of the recommended tourist spots based on multiple posts. We went in the morning, between 10-11am as the sunset spots were fully booked on Monday which was the only day we could go. We missed out the chance to see the sunset on the cable car which was a pity. The entrance was a short walk from the botanical garden (west entrance), was a bit of hidden as there was not obvious sign from the taxi drop off. Suggest to ask people. The queue wasn’t as long upon our arrival and it was fairly smooth. The cable car can only fit two people and it’s semi open , with no windows. The day we went was cloudy and fairly breezy which was ideal. The ride of 40 minutes was not too long as we could oversee Xiamen city, even the Conrad hotel. Would I go again? Probably not as it was not as eye opening as I anticipated. It’s more of the been there done that attitude. One final note, do ensure you go with a friend as you will be assigned a stranger.

可以一次性觀看廈門嘅風景，很舒服，是一個很好的活動

鐘鼓索道作為廈門島內獨特的空中觀景項目，位於萬石植物園西側，全長逾一千米，採用半開放式雙人吊廂設計，全程往返約四十分鐘。該索道橫跨萬石植物園、虎溪岩、鴻山公園，直達南普陀寺五老峰區域，提供從高空俯瞰廈門山海城景的獨特視角，包括植物園的蔥鬱綠意、南普陀寺的古樸建築，以及遠眺鼓浪嶼、雙子塔與台灣海峽的遼闊風光。纜車設有八十二個吊廂，平日運營效率高，無需長時間排隊，此次體驗即遇上此優勢，即時購票上車，極大提升了遊覽的順暢度。

The booking process is easy. At the ticket counter, provide the passport to the staff where they will verify the booking and issue the physical tickets. The ride on the cable car was scenic, it's a 40 min ride where the cable car will do a u turn when reached the other end. Definitely advise to book the 4pm-5pm slot so that you can enjoy the sunset.
