Perched on the northeastern slope of Bijiashan Hill on UNESCO-listed Gulangyu Island, Bagua Mansion (Eight Diagrams Mansion) is the largest villa-style building from Gulangyu's modern era. Construction began in 1907 and was completed in 1930. Distinguished by its striking red dome and elegant blend of Chinese and Western architectural styles, the mansion overlooks scenic Xiamen Harbor. Today, it houses an organ museum, where visitors can explore a remarkable collection of keyboard instruments, enjoy panoramic views, and discover Gulangyu's rich architectural and musical heritage.
