Gulangyu Island |
Located 600 meters to the southwest of Xiamen City, Gulangyu Island, or Drum Wave Islet, is an extremely beautiful place, nicknamed the "garden on the sea." Covering an area of only 1.87 square kilometers (187 hectares), this small island is lush with green trees and fragrant flowers. Among the many scenic spots on the island, the most popular ones are the Sunlight Rock and the Shuzhuang Garden. Replete with classical and romantic European-style structures, the island truly deserves to be called a "museum of architecture." It is also known as the 'Cradle of Musicians' and 'Island of Music' because of its inhabitants' appreciation for music and love of the piano.
