Gulangyu Organ Museum (Bagua Tower)
鼓浪屿风琴博物馆（八卦楼）
The landmark red-domed Bagua Tower on Gulangyu, housing an organ museum that displays antique organs from around the world and a large pipe organ.
Bagua Tower is on Bishan Road in Gulangyu. Built in 1907 by Lin Heshou, a descendant of the Lin family of Banqiao, Taiwan, its red dome blends ancient Greek, ancient Roman, and Chinese styles, making it one of Gulangyu's landmarks. It now serves as the Gulangyu Organ Museum. It holds dozens of antique organs and pipe organs from Europe and America, including a large pipe organ from Australia that is played on a set schedule each day. Tickets cost about 20 yuan. The museum may be closed on Mondays, so check on site. It is about a 10-minute walk from Sanqiutian Wharf.
