Meet Gulangyu: A Dreamland of Romance and Artistry

"To live poetically is to live romantically." You must visit Gulangyu, a time-favored island where every inch of land is filled with stories and every corner is full of surprises. Stepping into Gulangyu is like opening a beautiful picture book. At the most beautiful corner, two streets intersect at a 45-degree angle, and a three-story red brick building in the shape of a sailboat stands quietly. It is a frequent guest in film and television dramas and a favorite of countless photographers. Every shot is a literary masterpiece. The Boat House, designed by American architect John Otte in 1920, is rich in European style and resembles an ocean liner docked on the shore, exuding an ancient and charming atmosphere. It is an excellent choice for taking photos. Next to it is the Sunny Wall, with its mottled walls and hanging firecracker vines, creating a natural and simple atmosphere. Every frame is a peaceful moment. Sunlight Rock is the highest point on Gulangyu. When you reach the top, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Gulangyu and Xiamen Island. At sunrise and sunset, the sky is filled with golden light, and the world is dyed golden. The magnificent scene of "the setting sun and the lone bird flying together, the autumn water and the long sky are the same color" is nothing more than this. How can you not capture such a beautiful scene? In Shuzhuang Garden, it is like being in a Suzhou garden on the sea. The rockery, garden, and sea view complement each other, and every step is a scene that can be painted. In the Piano Museum, classical pianos exude an elegant luster. Taking photos here is like touching the pulse of history. The rooftop of the Bagua Building is a treasure trove for overlooking the sea view and the panoramic view of Gulangyu. The statue of Zheng Chenggong in Haoyue Garden complements the sunset sea view. The Gothic spire of the Catholic Church is solemn and majestic. The Chinese and Western architecture of the Wormhole Bookstore in the Sea Paradise is unique. Every popular photo spot on Gulangyu is waiting for you to capture this exclusive romance and beauty with your camera. Gulangyu, Xiamen
