1. Sunshine Rock.

Sunlight Rock is commonly known as "Yanzaishan" and also known as "Huangyan". Sunlight Rock Tourist Area consists of Sunlight Rock and Qinyuan. Sunstone is located in the central and southern part of Gulangyu Island. It consists of two huge rocks, one vertical and one horizontal, becoming the peak of Longtoushan. With an altitude of 92.7 meters, it is the highest peak of Gulangyu Island. Standing at the entrance of Sunlight Rock, I saw a huge boulder more than 40 meters high, standing in the air. On that huge rock cliff, there is a four-character horizontal calligraphy called "Tianfeng Haitao" inscribed by Xu Shiying in 1915. There are also two lines of large characters engraved on the bottom, "Gulang Cave Sky" on the right and "Lujiang No. 1" on the left. The former was written by Rending No. 1 Middle School in Danyang, Jiangsu Province in the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1573 AD), and is the earliest Sunlight Rock inscription. The latter was written by Lin Chengxian, a native of Changle, Fujian during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. The two are close and their handwriting is quite similar. Im Seung-heon's signature is particularly large, and visitors often mistakenly believe that both were written by Im Seung-heon. In fact, the latter was written more than 200 years later than the former. The above three cliff carvings can be said to be a vivid summary of the scenery of Sunlight Rock, which left a deep impression on tourists. This is the first act of Sunshine Rock.

2. Zhuangzhuang Garden.

Introduction to one-day tour of Gulangyu Island in Xiamen

The village is built along the sea. In the hidden garden, there are caves near the mountains. The mountains are built with stones, which contrast with the distant mountains and waters. The terraces, pavilions and pavilions built have different shapes, and the small bridges with low pillars look like swimming dragons. In the garden, you can see the sea, the waves crashing on the shore, and the mountains and sea. There are caves, flowers and trees, which is a rare attraction. The garden is divided into two parts: Zanghai Garden and Mountain Garden. It mainly hides the sea and embellishes it with gardens

Hao Yue Garden is located on Fuding Rock Beach in the east of Gulangyu Island, covering an area of ??30,000 square meters and built along the Lujiang River. It is a garden with beaches, rocks, green trees and pavilions. The garden was built in 1985 and named "Hao Yue Garden" after the poem "I miss you so much that I can't sleep, the moon is full of Yangguan" in "The Collection of Two Kings of Yanping". There is a giant bronze statue of Zheng Chenggong and his generals, which is 13.7 meters long and 4.7 meters high and consumes 18 tons of copper. Except for Zheng Chenggong and his left and right minions, namely Chen Ze, Chen Guang, Chen Yonghua, and Yang Chaodong, this giant bronze sculpture is slightly larger than the real thing. The rest of the army and horses extend to both sides. The picture is wide and eye-catching. What is more eye-catching in the park is the giant granite statue of Zheng Chenggong standing on Fuding Rock. This giant statue was completed on August 27, 1985. It is 15.7 meters high and weighs 1,617 tons. It is carved from 23 layers of 625 pieces of "Quanzhou White" granite and is very impressive.

4. Ancient summer cave.

Guxia Cave is a very unique cave. There are granite boulders falling from the sky on the stone walls on both sides, giving people the feeling of Mount Tai pressing on top. It is very steep. The above four words "ancient summer cave" were inscribed by Shi Shijie, a scholar from Taiwan Province in the late Qing Dynasty. The cave is bright, dry and airy. Pass through the old summer house and turn left. There is a small and exquisite pavilion, which supports the thin waist and uses mountain rocks as a balcony. Known as the "Umbrella Pavilion", it provides visitors with 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. The water has been poured for many years, and there are footprints of gods on the side. In fact, "immortal seal" and "foot bath" are both sea erosion landforms formed by waves.

In distant geological times, this place was still eroded by waves. Later, due to the rise of the earth's crust, these sea erosion landforms appeared on the top of the mountain.

5. Gulang Cave.

Sun Rock is famous for its scenic spots and has attracted many scholars and writers since ancient times. They were intoxicated by the storm of the day, recited poems and composed poems, leaving behind many precious handwritings. After walking through the gate of Sunlight Rock Temple, you can look up at a huge cliff. The inscription on the cliff - "Gulang Yongtian" provides a wonderful summary of the fairyland-like scenery of Sunlight Rock, which was written in the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. It was written by Lin Cheng in the first year of Daoguang Dynasty; "Tianfeng Haitao" just pointed out the characteristics of Sunlight Rock and was written by Xu Shiying in the fourth year of the Republic of China.
