Xiamen Gulangyu successfully applied for the World Heritage. What are its characteristics?

Gulangyu Island is characterized by many architectural styles. Except for the buildings in different periods in China, there are also Portuguese offices and villas in the western colonial period, which are well preserved. There are also many delicious shops; The four seasons of tourism are peak seasons, the facilities on the island are perfect, and every household has a homestay for rent.

I went to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen once many years ago. Gulangyu Island at that time was so lingering and yearning for me that I would never forget it once. I remember that I was naive and wanted to settle there, because it was so beautiful that I thought it was very suitable for people to live in, with comfortable environment and beautiful scenery. Gulangyu is a piano island, isolated from the outside world, just like a paradise, and the sound of the piano fills the air.

Gulangyu Island is still so beautiful, so special and so charming in my mind. The petty bourgeoisie inside is particularly obvious, and it is the best place to experience the characteristic homestay. Every corner is a landscape, just like Suzhou gardens used to be suitable for taking pictures. No matter how commercialized it is, it still has its unique flavor in it and will never change. Therefore, it is normal that Gulangyu can successfully apply for the World Heritage. ?

The reputation of Piano Island is not illusory. It is true that every family will have a piano. I remember when we went, we stayed in a homestay transformed by local people's own homes. Their daughter really plays the piano and lives a very elegant life.

Although the proprietress of that family is not a scholarly family, she has opened a canteen on the island, and her home has been transformed into a homestay to make a living. However, there is a grand piano in her hall, and guests can play it at will, provided that you can play it, or it will be a nuisance. Walking in the alley at night and on the path by the sea, you will hear the beautiful piano sound echoing in your ears.
