Xiamen｜Poetry and Distance in Time Gulangyu

In the embrace of Xiamen, there is a pearl called Gulangyu, which carries the weight of history and the tenderness of time. Originally named "Yuanshazhou", it was renamed Gulangyu in the Ming Dynasty. It faces the Xiamen Shimao Straits Tower and Xiamen University on Xiamen Island across the sea, forming a charming picture. When you set foot on this land, you must visit Nikko Rock, which is like a standing giant. "If you don't climb Sunlight Rock, you haven't been to Xiamen." Not only is there Sunlight Rock Temple, one of the four famous temples in Xiamen, but there are also many cultural attractions. Along the climbing route, "Lujiang Dragon Cave", "Ancient Summer Cave", "Longtou Village" and other places are like pages of history, and the inscriptions left by predecessors add a strong cultural flavor. 🗺️About the route: 💪Special Forces version route: ➡️Sanqiutian Pier➡️The most beautiful corner➡️Organ Art Center➡️Catholic Church➡️Haoyue Garden➡️Dadeji Bathing Beach➡️Shuzhuang Garden➡️Gangzaihou Beach➡️Sunlight Rock➡️Meihua Beach➡️Neicuoao Pier 🙋‍♀️Lazy version route: ➡️Sanqiutian Pier➡️The most beautiful corner➡️Organ Art Center➡️Haoyue Garden➡️Dadeji Bathhouse➡️Lijiazhuang➡️Catholic Church➡️Sanqiutian Pier back to Zhongshan Road 1️⃣The most beautiful corner A three-story red brick building, a celebrity check-in spot for the TV series "Turning Point Love".
