Of course, they haven't had a chance to come to Xiamen to taste specialties or friends who are nostalgic for Xiamen's specialties.

Sunlight Rock

Sunlight Rock is located at the top of Longtou Mountain in the south of Gulangyu Island, and was originally named as "Huangyan". Later, people took the word "Huangyan" apart and called it Sunlight Rock. Sunlight Rock is 92.68 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak of Gulangyu Island. There is a round platform on the top of the rock, standing on the peak, overlooking the railing, and the scenery of Ludao is panoramic. I set foot in the foothills of Longtou Mountain, but I saw a cliff engraved with big characters such as "Gulang Cave", "Lujiang First" and "Tianfeng Haitao", which was one of the eight great sights in Xiamen in the old days. Entering the mountain gate, there is a Lotus Temple covered with huge stones. Along the winding path, you can see that there are many cliff stone carvings of poets and writers on both sides of the cliff. In the sparse Woods, there are sites such as "Shuicaotai" and "Longtouzhai" built by the national hero Zheng Chenggong when he stationed troops in Gulangyu Island, and the newly-built "Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall" and other buildings are in it, which makes people feel deeply moved. Visitors can get off the ferry pier on the island and walk for more than ten minutes to enter the scenic spot.

The original owner of Bagua Building, Lin Heshou, is the cousin of Lin Erjia, the original owner of Xinzhuang Garden. It was built in 197 and is now a Xiamen museum. Because the round red top floor of the building is unique and has the shape of gossip, it is called gossip building.

This comprehensive local museum is a window to Xiamen.

Some chamber music and classical music concerts are often held irregularly throughout the year, and some famous foreign musicians or professional groups often come to perform. It is also an ideal world for many music lovers to communicate.

Yuyuan Garden

Yuyuan Garden can reach Yuyuan Garden from Zhangzhou Road or Fuxing Road on the side of Haoyueyuan. This quiet and beautiful garden landscape was built in 1984 in memory of Professor Lin Qiaozhi, an outstanding people's physician and a famous gynecologist. The building in Yuyuan Garden has a natural layout. The white marble statue of Dr. Lin Qiaozhi stands in the garden, and the "Exhibition Room of Dr. Lin Qiaozhi's Life Story" is built. Comrade Deng Yingchao personally planted two beads of Aralia in the garden, which symbolizes the elegant and noble character of Dr. Lin.

Qin Garden

Qin Garden is an ornamental and tourist area saturated with cultural and artistic charm. It is located on the Hero Mountain of Gulangyu Island, facing the Sunguang Rock in the east. It has melody square, Qinsi Square, Yiyun Building, Liuyin Garden, Youyou Gate, etc. It can be said that it is inextricably linked with the piano everywhere, because there are many talented musicians and piano poets born on Gulangyu Island, and the piano on the island ranks first in the country. Therefore, Zao. Especially on sunny days, when you stroll along the streets and lanes, elegant piano music and the singing sound of violins will fly out from the depths of small houses and courtyards from time to time, which will really make people happy.

Haoyue Garden

Haoyue Garden is located in the east of Gulangyu Island, covering Dingyan seaside, covering an area of 2, square meters. In order to commemorate Zheng Chenggong's historical achievements in expelling the Dutch Yi and recovering Taiwan Province, the Fujian Provincial Government and the Xiamen Municipal Government built the Zheng Chenggong Memorial Park here. The giant stone statue of Zheng Chenggong was completed on August 27, 1985. The majestic power of this tiger general has been permanently stationed on Fuding Rock ever since. The statue is 15.7 meters high and weighs 1617 tons. It is composed of 23 floors and 625 pieces of "Quanzhou White" granite. Fuding Rock is 29.5 meters above sea level and extends 3 meters into the sea. The terrain is steep and magnificent, and it stands with the sword stone and the inkstone in the sea. At present, the statue of Zheng Chenggong on Fuding Rock, which faces the sea, has become the main building in the garden, and it is also the largest statue of historical figures in China. The large bronze group relief in the park reproduces the historical scene of Zheng Chenggong's troops crossing the east and driving the Netherlands back to Taiwan. Haoyue Garden has a charming scenery, and the architectural features of the Ming Dynasty are in harmony with Sha Ou, trees and seascapes on the seashore, forming a natural picture. It takes only about five minutes to walk to the left from the ferry pier on the island to enter the park.

Liuzhuang Garden

Built in 1913, Liuzhuang Garden is located in the south of Gulangyu Island, facing the sea, leaning against rocks, facing the tourist village of Guanhai Garden in the east and overlooking Gangzaihou Beach in the west. It was originally the private villa of Lin Erjia, a famous local gentleman, and was named after the homonym of his uncle Zang. Dedicated to the park in 1955. Xinzhuang Garden makes use of natural terrain and hides the sea by mountains, which is a clever layout. The whole park is divided into two parts: Tibetan Sea Garden and Bushan Garden, each with five views. The five scenic spots in the Tibetan Sea Garden are: Meishou Hall (also known as Danyingxuan), Renqiu Pavilion, Zhenlv Pavilion, No.44 Bridge and Zhaoliangting; The five scenic spots in Bushan Garden are: Hard Rock Mountain House, Twelve Cave Days, Love Me Bian, Tingchao Building and Xiaolan Pavilion. Later, Koitabashi, Duyue Pavilion, Qianbo Pavilion, Xichun Pavilion, Maoting Pavilion and Umbrella Pavilion were built one after another. The Xinzhuang Garden has recently expanded its area by more than 3, square meters. In addition to restoring the stubborn stone mountain house (the original owner's bookstore), there are other landscapes such as "Tingtaoxuan" and "Snake Ridge Garden". The winding "forty-four bridges" in the park are like treading waves; The rockery built against the mountain, that is, the "Twelve Cave Heaven", is circuitous and interconnected, hovering up and down, which is not interesting. The scenes in the park complement each other, scattered and orderly, and integrated; The garden is on the sea, and the sea is in the garden. It has both the exquisiteness and elegance of a small courtyard. There is also the majestic and spectacular waves flying gulls; Dynamic and static contrast, bring out the best in each other, visitors here, lingering.
