Having said that, when we were there in September we just went to the terminal around 10 am and were able to buy tickets for the next sailing. Note that you will need your passport to buy a ticket, unless you are a Chinese citizen.
Is there a reason why going to Gulangyu is this difficult? I think I'm going to heed your advice there. I don't want to be dragging my 28" suitcase to Gulangyu.
