3. Gulangyu. Formerly known as "Round Shazhou" and alias "Yuanzhouzai", it was named "Wulongyu" in the Southern Song Dynasty and renamed "Gulangyu" in the Ming Dynasty. Because there is a two-meter-high rock on the beach in the southwest of the island, and there is a cave in the middle, whenever the tide rises, the waves hit the rock, which sounds like drums. People call it "Gulangyu Stone", hence the name Gulangyu. Gulangyu street is short and criss-crossed, and it is the largest island in Xiamen.
