How can you not go to Gulangyu Island when you arrive in Xiamen? This sea garden is a temptation for everyone who comes to Xiamen for the first time. What's more, after doing my homework before, there are so many people who have never forgotten this island. The petty bourgeoisie sentiment and literary sentiment permeate the words, and there are undertones of nostalgia and romance everywhere.

There were four of us, two mothers and two children who went out early in the morning and headed straight to Gulangyu Island. After hurriedly running and stopping, I finally caught up with the 9:30 cruise ship. In fact, Gulangyu Island is not very big, with an area of ??only 1.78 square kilometers. However, once you get to the island, you will find that there are no motor vehicles or bicycles on the island, and everything has to be walked. Fortunately, the children are quite excited, running around and chasing each other along the way. dare.

I thought it would be easy to find sightseeing spots with a hand-drawn map, but when I started walking, I realized that "getting lost" is the norm on Gulangyu Island.

When you face a winding path and are at a loss as to where to go, you will understand why so many people use the word "lost" in their travel notes. Well, since you can't tell the direction, just wander around aimlessly.

While walking around, I came across the Shell Museum. This museum houses more than 6,800 kinds of shell specimens from all over the world, which is a dream world of shells.

There are both giant clams with a diameter of one meter and tiny sand clams, as well as the famous Wanbao snail, Tang crown snail, Phoenix tail snail and Nautilus, which are the four famous snails in the world.

There are also many treasures, such as witch snails, long-nosed snails, angel-winged gull snails, bright red sea fan clams, rock banana snails, etc. It is really a lot of experience.

This shell museum is really suitable for children to watch and play. In addition to various conches, there are many places for experience and adventure, such as the talking wall, the sky cave, and the mermaid. The dance, dizzy whirlpool, etc. are all novel and exciting.

The deep sea creative group photo created using the principle of mirror imaging is the most interesting. The children are lying on the ground, and the image appears as if it is hanging on the wall.

There is also the country’s only cave-style canopy theater. When my children and I lay on the ground and watched without any care, I instantly felt like I was back in my childhood.

If you walk a lot in the winding alleys, you will find that although the island is crisscrossed with streets, all roads are connected, and you will always find where you want to go while going around.

We finally climbed onto Sunlight Rock. This is the highest peak of Gulangyu Island. You can overlook the entire island. The altitude is not high. My children and I climbed all the way up and easily reached the top. However, we caught up with the crowds and crowded, so we hurriedly came down after watching.

We strolled all the way to Shuzhuang Garden. This manor facing the sea and backed by Sunlight Rock was originally the private villa of Lin Erjia, a famous local gentry. This garden hidden in the sea, with a cave on the side of the mountain and a stone patchwork of the mountain is indeed unique in design and ingenious.

There is a piano museum here, which displays many ancient pianos. Among them, a small right-angled piano is the most peculiar to children.

The "Twelve Cave Sky" in the garden is like a maze. The children walked around in a big circle, and the children were still a little unfinished.

In fact, there are many places in Gulangyu worth admiring and slowly savoring, such as the old houses that hide many memories from the past, such as the large and small museums, which are niche and exquisite. , but children as young as five or six years old cannot resist the temptation of the beach at all. No matter how you "coerce or induce" you can't stop them from wanting to play in the sand.

The moment the children rushed to the beach happily, we were relieved. After all, parent-child travel is mainly about having children have fun. The days are still long, and the history and humanity will wait until they grow up. Let’s experience it slowly when we’re older!

On the way back to the pier, we mainly ate, including sand tea noodles, crab roe buns, and peanut soup, but the children didn’t buy it. , rice with tomatoes and scrambled eggs is the most delicious.

We also bought Zhang Sanfeng milk tea. We really envy this cat on Gulangyu Island, who is free and happy. Miss Zhao's pineapple cake is also delicious.

The children have been walking all day and are actually very tired, but they are in good spirits and very happy.

In fact, the ultimate goal of parent-child travel is not for the children to learn anything. The most important thing is to perceive and experience, even if one day they just think of a tree on the island or just remember the beach. A pile of sand is enough. Because only if you have been here, you will have such memories.
