What's interesting in Xiamen this week?

Sunlight Rock Sunlight Rock, also known as Huangyan, is the highest point of Gulangyu Island, with the top elevation of 96 meters. On the mountain, the huge stones are rugged and stacked into caves and valleys. Trees are lush and pavilions are shaded. Climbing up the stairs, I first arrived at the Lotus Temple. The "one tile" boulder was embedded in the air, forming a temple. The boulder next to the temple was engraved with "Gulang Cave" and "Lujiang First". Behind the nunnery are "Lujiang Longdong Cave" and "Guxia Cave", with the leading thatched cottage and Shuicaotai site in the middle. Cai Tingkai and Cai Yuanpei praised Zheng's poems. Climbing to the top of the mountain, the mountains and seas are spectacular and the scenery is infinite. Xiamen, Gulangyu Island, Dadan and Erdan Islands have a panoramic view.

Longzhuang garden

Longzhuang Garden is located at the seaside at the southern foot of Sunlight Rock. Lin Erjia, a wealthy businessman in Taiwan Province, crossed the mainland with his family and lived in Gulangyu in the 21st year of Guangxu reign (1895). The park was built in 19 13. It was named after its homophonic "Uncle Zang" in memory of the hometown of Banqiao in Taipei. The bronze statue of the owner of the garden now stands in the garden. The whole park hides the sea by mountains, and the layout is ingenious. There is stillness in the movement, and there is stillness in the movement, which makes people linger. There are Renqiu Pavilion, No.44 Bridge, stacked stones, rockery, Tan Xuanying, and stubborn stone mountain house, which are the most famous gardens in Xiamen. On the left is Gangzaihou Beach. The sand and water are clean and can accommodate thousands of people to swim. There is Yanping Park nearby, which was built to commemorate Zheng Chenggong. Among them, it refers to Jing Quan, commonly known as "the country's surname well". It is said that Zheng Tunjun opened the well.

Haoyueyuan

Hao Yueyuan is located in Fuding Rock Beach in the east of Gulangyu Island, covering an area of 30,000 square meters. It is distributed on the bank of Lujiang River. This is a garden with beaches, rocks, green trees and pavilions. Founded in 1985, the garden was named "Hao Yueyuan" because of the poem "I miss you sleeping, and the moon shines on the plain" in "Two Kings of 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 giant bronze sculpture, except Zheng Chenggong and his separate Chen Ze, Chen Guang, Chen Yonghua, Yang Chaodong and other departments, is slightly larger than the real body. The rest of the military and horses extend to both sides, and the picture is wide and eye-catching.

More striking in the park is the giant granite statue of Zheng Chenggong standing on Fuding Rock. This colossus was completed on August 27th, 1985, with a height of15.7m and a weight of 16 17 tons. It consists of 23 floors and 625 pieces of "Quanzhou White" granite, which is very imposing.

Ancient summer cave

The ancient summer cave is a very distinctive cave. The granite boulders falling from the sky are supported by stone walls on both sides, giving people the feeling that Mount Tai is the top of the mountain, 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. On the top of the rock next to it, there is a stone basin where immortals wash their feet. There is water all the year round here, and there are immortal footprints next to it. In fact, "immortal seal" and "footbath" are both marine erosion landforms. In the distant geological era, it was still eroded by waves. Later, due to the rise of the earth's crust, these marine erosion landforms appeared on the top of the mountain.

Longtoushanzhai

Sunlight Rock, also known as Longtou Mountain, faces Hutou Mountain in Xiamen across the sea, and Yi Long is a tiger guarding Xiamen Port, known as "Dragon Tiger Defending the River". The original "Xu Ting" here has long been destroyed. Shi Guoqiu of Taiwan Province wrote an article "Xu Ting Ji", describing the Sunlight Rock "surrounded by mountains and seas, the first Tianjin in the southeast, the water and light meet the sky, and the Hongbo bath day all blame Brahma". The boulder stands on the wall, and the sea breeze passes through it, which means "the cold in September", and the coolness naturally comes from "Lujiang Longdong". "September Summer" is summer, and "Longdong" is where dragons live, because there are five dragons in Gulangyu legend. This house door is the house door of the "big house" where Zheng Chenggong was stationed in Gulangyu. The round hole in the rock was dug by soldiers in tents. General Cai Tingcuo, the former commander of the 19th Route Army of the Kuomintang, saw the scene and wrote down seven laws: "The heart only fills the sky, and the eight Fujian villages are the same as 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 has seven verses: "Whip the wind to calm the waves, and if the order is determined, the clouds will be high." Insects, sand, apes and cranes are sometimes exhausted, and Yi Binbin can't be scoured out. ""Worm, sand, ape and crane "refers to people who died in the army.

zheng chenggong memorial hall

Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall1962 65438+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 Keluo Bay in Kinmen 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, you can systematically understand Zheng Chenggong's extraordinary life.

Water operating platform

The water combat platform is the place where Zheng Chenggong trained his navy to recover Taiwan Province. The word "Bohai vigorous" on the cliff is round and full, vigorous and powerful. On another boulder on the right front side, Zheng Chenggong's five-line poem is engraved: "Rites and music are the first, and the article is Confucius and Mencius. Nanshan opened the first city, and the East China Sea brewed Xiaxia. " It is said that this poem was carved by copying Zheng Chenggong's handwriting, and the bottom was engraved with two seals: "Zheng Sen's private seal" and "Success". Standing on the water platform will always remind people of the spectacular sight of Zheng Chenggong taking command here, flying flags on the river and fighting for the reunification of the motherland.

Gulangdong

Sunlight Rock is famous for its scenic spots. 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. Cliff stone carving-"Gulangyu Cave" makes a wonderful summary of the fairyland-like scenery of Sunlight Rock, which was made by No.1 Middle School 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 Cheng in the first year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty. Days of Wind and Waves just points out the characteristics of Sun Guangyan, which was written by Xu Shiying in the fourth year of the Republic of China.

Hero park

Hero Park is built to commemorate the martyrs who liberated Xiamen and attacked Gulangyu Island. It includes a small memorial square, a memorial sculpture and a memorial room. 1At the end of September, 949, the 10th Corps of the China People's Liberation Army liberated the southern Fujian mainland, forming a situation that surrounded the Kuomintang troops in Jinmen and Xiamen on three sides. 10 On June 5th, the 3rd Corps1and 29 army began to cross the sea against Xiamen. On that day 18, the fleets of two battalions, 3 1 Army 27 1 Regiment and 277 Regiment, took the lead in moving from Haicang and other places to the southwest of Gulangyu Island in two ways. With the close cooperation of boatmen in the past, brave PLA officers and men braved the wind and waves, braved the fierce fire of the enemy, bravely advanced and landed at the foot of this mountain. At that time, gunfire was flying and lightning collapsed; The sound of the army is cold, and the mountain is seized. Hundreds of commanders and soldiers, including Wang, head of the 27 1 regiment, and Zhang Yijia and other former boatmen were killed in the battle. After two days and nights of bloody fighting, our army finally liberated Xiamen and Gudao and won the final victory. Castle peak disease is loyal and the history books are brilliant. After the liberation of Xiamen Hegu, the people called this mountain (formerly known as "Qizaiwei Mountain") Hero Mountain. Therefore, people are pinning their infinite nostalgia for the revolutionary martyrs! In 2000, the People's Government of Gulangyu built the "Hero Garden" on the mountain, which integrated this glorious revolutionary historical site with the beautiful scenery of the South China, so that people will never forget the baptism of blood and fire under the baptism of big winds and waves.

Piano museum

Mibai Gao Tai

The 100-meter platform is the peak of Sunlight Rock, with an altitude of 92.7 meters. Together with the circular platform, it is called "100-meter high platform". Showing in the wind, listening to the sound of the waves, looking from a distance, water and sky are one color, making people forget many troubles in the world and fully integrate into this beautiful and harmonious world. The beauty of traveling to Sunguangyan lies in: not only seeing the scenery with the naked eye, but also feeling it with your heart and making a thorough fugue. Look at Gulangyu Island under your feet. Various styles of architecture are patchwork, as if playing notes from this piano island and solidifying into the most romantic melody. This is a magical island. Every elegant building here has a wonderful legend. Looking north, the red dome building is very obvious, that is, the most famous "Bagua Building" in Gulangyu Island is a little closer to us. This building with a cross is the most famous cathedral "Sanyitang" in southern Fujian. Looking around, Gulangyu and Xiamen face each other across the Lujiang River. The characteristic buildings here are completely different from the modern high-rise buildings in Xiamen. Time seems to have stopped here, leaving us in the history of the strong collision between eastern and western cultures at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century. Looking to the west, the chimney of Songyu Power Plant is towering into the sky, and the famous Haicang Development Zone is in front of us, which is connected with Xiamen through the newly-built Haicang Bridge. Looking to the south, the opposite is China Bank Development Zone in Zhangzhou, and the south is the undulating Wutai Mountain Range. Looking eastward, there are Wuyu, Qingyu, Dadan Xiao Dan, Dajinmen and Xiaojinmen islands in the distance, and Taiwan Province Province is across the strait.

Riguangyan temple

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. There are two legends about the origin of the name of Sunlight Rock: one is the legend of natural geography, because the sun rises from the back of Wulaofeng in Xiamen in the morning and Sunlight Rock is the first to bathe in the sunshine, so it is named Sunlight Rock, and the temple is called Sunlight Rock Temple; One is historical legend. When Zheng Chenggong came to Huangyan (another name for Sunlight Rock), he saw that the scenery here was far better than Japan's Sunlight Mountain, so he took the word Huangyan apart and became Sunlight Rock. 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. After the reform and opening up, the religious policy was implemented, and the Riguangyan Temple received the support of the government, accepted donations from ten good people at home and abroad, and carried out large-scale construction, renovated the Daxiong Hall, and built new mountain gates and bell and drum towers. Tourism platforms, Buddhist temples, monasteries, canteens, canteens, and temples have taken on a new look. Sunlight Rock Temple is an exquisite temple. The Ursa Major Hall and Maitreya Hall are set together, which is the only one in China. Riguangyan Temple has a beautiful environment, and many eminent monks have come forth in generations. 1June, 936, the famous teacher hongyi was closed here for eight months.

Sanyitang

More than 70 years ago, about 100 followers of Xiamen Chinese Christian Xinjie Church, Zhushu Church and Xiamen Port Church moved to Gulangyu one after another. In typhoon, rainy and other weather, it was inconvenient for them to cross the sea to worship in Xiamen Island, so the believers of the three churches jointly established a church in Gulangyu, so they named it "Trinity Church", which also included the trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

At first, the Sunday worship was borrowed from Yude Girls' Middle School Chapel (now Xiamen Music School), and then the church was built in 1934 (which can accommodate more than 1000 people), and the priest building (now an office building) was continued in 1992. In 2000, the main entrance and ancillary buildings of the church were expanded and walled. The whole project took 66 years to complete. Now the total construction area is 2 138.62 m2, and the total construction area is 1368 m2.

Sanyitang's architecture is very unique, with a rare cross shape. On the yellow tile roof with drainage on all sides, there is an octagonal bell tower in the middle, with a cross towering into the sky at the top. The red wall is decorated with smooth triangular lines, twelve doors are open on all sides, and sixteen windows are extremely wide, which has practical characteristics of ventilation, lighting and evacuation. On the wall of the hall with the same length and width of 13 meters, the roof truss with column-free steel beam arch coupons and the ceiling with ceiling board are skillfully used, which is tall and magnificent, bringing extremely scientific and ideal sound effects and becoming the most distinctive feature of this hall building. No matter from any angle, its majestic and extraordinary momentum is amazing. In 2006, it was identified as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. [Edit this paragraph] What is the best time to travel to Wugulang Island 1

Except for the typhoon season in August, the boats at the seaside have stopped, and you can't enjoy the beautiful sea view. It's good to travel to Xiamen at other times.

If tourists want to shop, they can go to Longtou Road in Gulangyu Island, where local specialties can be bought everywhere in small shops. Such as: handicraft shops, calligraphy and painting shops, bead embroidery, lacquer line carving, color binding, color plastic, color porcelain and so on.

Gulangyu specialty: Gulangyu pie is one of the traditional products in southern Fujian, with a production history of more than 80 years. Its charm lies in its exquisite appearance, golden color, crisp taste, sweet and palatable stuffing and refreshing cold feeling. This product is not only a delicious snack for tea and snacks, but also a hometown specialty for gifts to relatives and friends.

The production of mung bean cake began at 1922. It was originally run by Xiaorui Ginger Cake Shop on Datong Road, and moved to Gulangyu Island during its stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Later, Liu Jingjie inherited its traditional production process and gradually improved it. Now, Gulangyu mung bean cake has become a good product for refreshments, travel or gifts to relatives and friends.

Don't forget the golden floss and jerky, spitting snails and puffer fish shells. My favorite is the treasure doll in the shopping street. Three fingers can play a doll role.

3 special events

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional activity held in Xiamen every year.

According to legend, when fighting in Xiamen more than 300 years ago, in order to relieve soldiers' worries, encourage and boost morale, and help to expel Dutch colonists and recover Taiwan Province Province, after some discussions, Zheng Department and the staff of the Houzheng Hall stationed at 33-44 Jinhong Headquarters skillfully designed Mid-Autumn Festival cakes, so that all soldiers could fight happily on the cool Mid-Autumn Festival night.

Cake is counted as "meeting", and generally four or five people are suitable for a "meeting". "Hui" cake imitates the imperial examination system, and consists of one Zhuang Yuan cake (the largest), two opposite cakes (the second place), four three red cakes (exploring flowers), eight four-entry cakes (Jinshi), 16 two-lift cakes (lifting people) and 32 one-show cakes. This is the symbol of the ancient four-level imperial examination. Ancient government-level examinations and young students were called scholars; After obtaining the township examination (provincial level), the successful candidate is called a juror; The meeting in the capital does not call Gong Sheng; The court presided over by the emperor himself is called Jinshi, which is divided into three parts: first, the top three, namely the champion, the second place, and the flower exploration, commonly known as the third Ding Jia or the third age; There are more places for dimethyl and more places for top three. Ancient emperors chose the top scholar, considering not only talent and appearance, but also surnames and names. For example, in the 22nd year of Yongle (1424), Sun Zi, the scholar, was the top scholar. Ming Chengzu thought that the combination of harmony was a "violent" word and unlucky. Fall to the third place, and the third place Xing Kuanyi was changed to the champion. This shows that the top scholar is not necessarily a generation of "talented people who look like Pan An", and the third one is a person with real talent and practical learning, so the "three reds" quality of Xiamen cakes is particularly good, which is what it means. A set of ***63 cakes is based on "three to nine", and three and nine are auspicious numbers for our people.

"Pancake", which originated in Xiamen, has been popular in Taiwan Province Province for more than 300 years with Zheng's successful recovery of Taiwan Province Province.
