Gulangyu - A Portrait of Poetry and Distance

Gulangyu is a must-visit destination in Xiamen. This small island, less than two square kilometers in size, is filled with an enchanting atmosphere everywhere. Beauty is in every element: from afar, you gaze at the blooming flowers across the sea, the blue sky and white clouds, the shimmering waves, the distant sails, and the egrets soaring. The sea and sky blend into one; up close, the green trees and red flowers, the quiet old houses, the pink walls and red eaves, all lean against the mountain's might. This garden-like island, free from the noise of carriages and pollution, is like a paradise away from the mundane world, becoming a poetic place to dwell. Wandering through the winding, undulating, and tranquil alleys, you pause in front of old houses covered in ivy, linger in front of desolate courtyards, and stroll in the cool sea breeze, sitting and listening to the tide ebb and flow.
