What are the interesting scenic spots on Gulangyu Island?

Gulangyu Island is located in the southwest corner of Xiamen Island, 600 meters away from the Lujiang River in Xiamen, which can be reached by ferry for 5 minutes. The climate on the island is pleasant, with four seasons like spring, and there is no noise of horses and chariots, birds and flowers, so it is known as the "sea garden". There are many buildings with different architectural styles at home and abroad, including traditional temples with upturned cornices in China, small and exquisite Japanese houses, consulates of former western countries with European style in the19th century, and they are known as "World Architecture Exposition". Gulangyu Island is also the hometown of a large number of talented musicians. Piano density ranks first in China, and it is also known as "piano island" and "hometown of music". Gulangyu Island was originally a quiet island with simple folk customs, and its slow life and freshness attracted Chinese and foreign tourists.

Gulangyu Island was originally named Yuanzhazhou and Yuanzhouzai. Because there is a sea cave in the southwest of the sea, it is hit by waves and sounds like drums. Yahua became its current name in the Ming Dynasty. The main attractions are Sunlight Rock, Lu Manor, Hao Yueyuan, Yuyuan Garden, Gulangyu Stone, Gulangyu Piano Museum, Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall, Xiamen Underwater World and Natural Bathing Beach, and the structure of a paradise on the sea. Integrating history, culture and natural landscape, it is a national-level scenic spot and the first of the "Top Ten" scenic spots in Fujian. Gulangyu Island is the "cradle of musicians". Walking on the path in every corner, you will hear melodious piano sound, melodious violin sound, brisk guitar sound, moving and beautiful singing voice, and the beating of the waves. The environment is particularly charming. Gulangyu is an "architectural exhibition hall", and many buildings have a strong European style. The three pillars of ancient Greece, Tolik, Onek and Corinth, show their respective postures, including Roman columns, Gothic spires, Islamic domes, baroque reliefs, gatehouses, fireplaces, balconies, hook bars and protruding arch windows. It is colorful and full of classicism and romanticism. The night in Gulangyu looks quiet and elegant. Especially after the completion of the night scene project, Sun Guangyan, which represents the natural scenery, the Bagua Building, which represents the exotic architectural style, the piano-shaped waiting hall of Music Island, and the statue of Zheng Chenggong standing on Fuding Rock are all transparent and bright under various lights. In particular, several laser rays crossed the sea of herons, changing and swaying, dazzling. Looking across the river at the night view of Gulangyu Island, the neon lights of Zhongshan Road, Xiamen, the spotlights of high-rise buildings and many colorful spotlights complement each other, making the three-dimensional space of sea and sky on the island beautiful and charming. Now there are more and more tourists and shops on the island, which may look noisy and commercial. If you are lucky enough to come to Gulangyu, please don't bring too much purpose. The most suitable place on the island is to walk around at will, see the old houses, eat some snacks with local characteristics, and stroll along the quiet path. Everything is simple and natural, without too much text and decoration. The real Gulangyu is a kind of mood, which needs to be calmed down and savored. I hope people who have been to Gulangyu can find this rare feeling of leisure and take it away. "I am lucky to grow up on such a southern island and breathe with green trees and flowers day and night." -Shu Ting

Type of scenic spot: seaside

Best season: Four seasons are suitable for Gulangyu Island. The overall temperature is mild, and flowers and trees flourish all year round. The temperature in Gulangyu Island is pleasant in spring, and it is also rainy season, so you should prepare rain gear when traveling. Summer is the tourist season, with high temperature, blue sky, green water and misty white clouds. This time is the best time to go to the seaside. Autumn is the tea-picking season, and you can enjoy a slow life in Gulangyu, but August-September is a typhoon period, and the boats at the seaside have stopped, so it is difficult to enjoy the sea view. In winter, the plants of Gulangyu Island are evergreen all the year round, the flowers are open and the scenery is not inferior. But the sea is too cold to go into the water, and there is still some chill without heating indoors.

The representative scenic spots of Gulangyu Island are: Sunlight Rock, Lu Manor, Haoyue Garden, Yuyuan Garden, Gulangyu Stone, Gulangyu Piano Museum, Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall, Xiamen Underwater World and Natural Bathing Beach, and Sea Paradise Structure. Integrating history, culture and natural landscape, it is a national-level scenic spot and the first of the "Top Ten" scenic spots in Fujian. Wang Xinjian, a famous poet, wrote in Gulangyu: "There is Lu Yu in the world and Zhenhai Gate in the rock. Blue sky, white sails carrying white clouds. Tiles are called ancient temples, and only banyan trees are heavily forested. Father thinks of the country of stone, and the bamboo shadow wipes the sword mark. " It shows the heavy history and beautiful scenery of Gulangyu Island. With the development of Xiamen, Gulangyu Island has become a comprehensive island scenic and cultural tourist area integrating sightseeing, vacation, tourism, shopping, leisure and entertainment. On May 8, 2007, it was officially approved as a national 5A-level tourist attraction. It was selected as "the first of the five most beautiful urban areas in China" by National Geographic magazine.

Sunlight Rock: commonly known as "Yanzai Mountain" or "Huangyan", it is said that in 164 1 year, Zheng Chenggong came to Huangyan and saw that the scenery here was better than that of Japan's Sunlight Mountain, so he took apart the word "Huangzai Mountain" and called it "Sunlight Rock". Sunlight Rock Tourist Area consists of Sunlight Rock and Qinyuan. Sunlight Rock stands in the south-central part of Gulangyu Island, consisting of two huge stones, one vertical and the other horizontal, becoming the peak of Longtou Mountain, with an altitude of 92.7 meters, which is the highest peak of Gulangyu Island.

Riguangyan Temple, commonly known as "Yiwa", is actually a natural cave, with a huge stone as the top, and then a temple was built according to the mountain situation. The specific time is the fourteenth year of Zheng Dewan's reign in Ming Dynasty. Sunlight Rock Temple was destroyed and rebuilt. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Yuanming Temple was built to worship Maitreya Buddha, and an octagonal pavilion was built in front of the temple, and a plaque of "Sunlight Temple" was hung on it. After liberation, Yuanmingyuan was changed into a Buddhist temple, and the Ursa Major Hall was built in 19 17.

Longzhuang Garden: located behind Gangzai in Gulangyu Island, it was built in 19 13. Its owner is Lin Yongjia, also known as Uncle Zang, and its name is named after its homonym. The Qing court was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, and Taiwan Province Province was ceded to Japan the following year. Lin Weiyuan and his son Zang did not want to be conquered people and moved to Gulangyu. Later, Uncle Zang built this garden. Xinzhuang Garden has a total area of 20,328 square meters, including 3,352 square meters of water area and 245 1 square meter of building area.

Hao Yueyuan: Located in Fuding Rock Beach in the east of Gulangyu Island, it covers an area of 30,000 square meters and is distributed along the banks of Lujiang River. This is a garden with beaches, rocks, green trees and pavilions. Founded in 1985, it was named "Hao Yueyuan" because of the poem "I miss you and the moon shines through you" in the collection of two kings in Yanping. There is a giant bronze statue of Zheng Chenggong and his Ministry in the park, which is 13.7 meters long and 4.7 meters high, and consumes copper 18 tons. This huge bronze sculpture, except Zheng Chenggong and his Chen Ze, Chen Guang, Chen Yonghua and Yang Chaodong, is slightly larger than the real one, and all other troops and horses extend to both sides.

The stone walls on both sides of the ancient summer cave support the granite boulders falling from the sky, giving people the feeling of Taishan topping, which is very steep. The word "Ancient Summer Cave" was inscribed by Shi Shijie, a scholar from Taiwan Province Province in the late Qing Dynasty. The cave is bright, dry and airy. Go through Guxia Cave and turn left. There is a small and exquisite pavilion with a thin waist and a balcony made of rocks. It is called an "umbrella pavilion" for tourists to shelter from the sun and rain.

Longtou Shanzhai: Sunlight Rock, also known as Longtou Mountain, faces Hutou Mountain in Xiamen across the sea, with a dragon and a tiger guarding Xiamen Port, which is called "Dragon and Tiger Defending the River". The original "Xu Ting" here has long been destroyed. Shi Guoqiu of Taiwan Province Province wrote an article "Xu Tingji". This Zhaimen is the Zhaimen of the "leading thatched cottage" where Zheng Chenggong was stationed in Gulangyu. The round hole in the rock was dug by soldiers in tents. General Cai Tingkai, the former commander of the 19 th Route Army of the Kuomintang, saw this scene and wrote down seven wonders: "I only made up the sky with one hand, and the Eighth Fujian Army is like today; The ancient base is still there, and the heroic spirit is remembered under the Sunlight Rock. " It is unusual to praise Zheng Chenggong. Mr. Cai Yuanpei also wrote a four-line poem: "It is mighty in the sea waves of Tianfeng Town. If the order is determined, the clouds are high and the clouds are light." Worms, sand, apes and cranes are sometimes exhausted, and righteousness cannot be washed away. "Among them,' insects, sand, apes and cranes' refer to people who join the army.

Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall:1962 065438+1October 28th was established to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan Province. Zheng Chenggong, formerly known as Sen, was born in Ishii, Nan 'an, Fujian, and 1624 was born in Hirahutan, Japan. Nanming Longwu ascended the throne in Fuzhou. Seeing that he was loyal to the imperial court, he was given the surname "Zhu" and renamed "Success". Therefore, people called him "Zheng Guo's" and Li Yong named him King Yanping. His father, Zheng Zhilong, secretly descended to the Qing Dynasty, and Zheng successfully left Jinmen to fight to the death with the Qing government. Based in Jinmen and Xiamen, he fought against the Qing army for many years. He fought at the gates of Nanjing and was defeated by arrogant soldiers. 166 1 on that beautiful day in April, Zheng Chenggong led hundreds of warships and 25,000 officers and men from Kinmen Luowan to recover Taiwan Province Province occupied by the Netherlands for 38 years and strive to develop Taiwan Province Province. Zheng Chenggong died in Taiwan Province Province on July 1662 at the age of 39. For more than 300 years, the people of Fujian and Taiwan regarded Zheng Chenggong as a national hero, and the people of Taiwan Province Province honored him as the "King of Taiwan Province". Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall is divided into seven parts, exhibiting more than 300 pieces of various cultural relics, materials, photos and models. Among them, Fangguan and Zhangzhou Jungang are the original objects of that year, which are quite precious. Visiting the museum can give a systematic understanding of Zheng Chenggong's life.

Gulangyu Island: Sunlight Rock is famous for its scenic spots extending in all directions. Throughout the ages, it has been attracting many literati, intoxicated by the storm of this day, and left many precious handwriting. Walking through the gate of Riguangyan Temple, you can look up at a huge cliff. The cliff stone carving Gulangyu is a wonderful summary of the fairyland-like scenery in Sunlight Rock written by Ding in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. "Lujiang No.1" points out that Sunlight Rock is the first scene in Xiamen, which was made by Lin Zhen in the first year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty.
