Poems praising Gulangyu, Xiamen's

Gulangyang

Modern times: Wang Xinjian

There are Luyu in the world, and the town gate of Xiuyan Town.

the blue waves connect with the blue sky, and the white sails carry white clouds.

tiles are like ancient temples, only banyan trees are like heavy forests.

Fu Qin thinks of Guo Shi, and the bamboo shadow wipes the sword mark.

Climbing Sunlight Rock on Gulangyu Island

Modern times: Chen Rende

A canoe broke through the smog, and waves rolled on the stage.

Look at the railing on the Sunlight Rock, and the breeze crosses the sea across the bank.

A small boat broke through the smog and boarded Gulangyu Island in the rolling waves. Standing on the sunshine rock, leaning against the railing, overlooking the distance, the breeze on the other side blows across the sea.

Gulangyu Island (English: Kulangsu) was originally named as "Round Shazhou" and alias "Yuanzhouzai". It was named "Wulong Island" in the Southern Song Dynasty and renamed as "Gulangyu Island" in the Ming Dynasty.

There is a rock with a cave in the middle, which is more than two meters high on the beach in the southwest of the island. Whenever the tide surges, the waves hit the rock and sound like drums, people call it "Gulangyu Stone", hence the name Gulangyu Island.

Gulangyu street is short and criss-crossed, and it is the largest island in Xiamen, facing Xiamen Shimao Strait Building and Xiamen University across the sea.
