My boyfriend and I are going to travel to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen for 5 days. Do you have any tips to share?

When we think of Beijing, we think of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City; when we think of Hangzhou, we think of the West Lake and the Qiantang River; when we think of Xiamen, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

Xiamen, this natural garden between the mountains and the sea, has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes and winds and rains, and has become a sea garden in the minds of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. Many people have come here to find out. .

Many people come to Xiamen for Gulangyu Island. Everyone wants to see this garden island of all nations where the East and the West come together, and so do I. Most of the entire island is in European style, with red roofs and white walls, forming a strong contrast with the tree-lined islands and the surrounding blue sky and sea. It is particularly dazzling when viewed from a distance. There is also a part of the island's architectural style that combines Western, Fujian and Nanyang characteristics. The collision of traditional Chinese and foreign Western styles has created the current Garden Island of All Nations. If you take a closer look, it is indeed well-deserved.

Because it is an Internet celebrity check-in spot, people line up here to check in and take photos all day long. It used to be a corner, but later generations gave it a beautiful meaning and it became the "most beautiful corner". Now it is also Because the beautiful connotation given by this has lost its original connotation and turned into a mere corner to check in. There are many places on the island that are worth visiting. Gulangyu Island, which is lined with western-style buildings, scattered alleys and flowers, and has red bricks and white roofs, may be worth spending more time. Shapowei is the shelter of the old Xiamen Port and a microcosm of the life of old Xiamen fishermen. Its name comes from the fact that it is the end of a long stretch of beach, and sand from everywhere flows here.

At the same time, there are also fashionable literary and artistic shops mixed in. It is a place where you can encounter literature and art just around the corner. ?Go to a strange place, taste the local food, feel the local customs, put everything aside, and stroll around the city quietly. Don’t just take a quick look, you will gain unexpected things.
