Gulangyu: A poetic dwelling for the soul

Stepping onto Gulangyu is like entering an isolated island of music, architecture, and poetry. Wandering through the quiet alleys, you can hear the melodious sound of the piano from time to time. The notes float from the ancient villas on the street, intertwining with the sound of the waves gently lapping against the rocks, creating a symphony of nature and culture. The island's diverse architectural styles, Gothic spires, Baroque carvings, and Minnan-style red-tiled swallowtail ridges, silently tell stories of the past. They are witnesses of history, standing quietly in the passage of time, exuding elegance in their mottled appearance. On Sunlight Rock, overlooking the entire island, you can see the green trees, red tiles, blue sea, and sky. The sea breeze caresses your face, and all your worries are left behind. On Longtou Road, there are many specialty shops. A cup of fragrant coffee or a delicate handicraft contains the unique artistic atmosphere of Gulangyu. Here, time slows down, and the soul finds long-lost tranquility. Every step is a scenery, and every place can touch the softest corner of the heart, making people indulge in the dreamlike island style, reluctant to leave, and only wanting to let this beauty be eternally fixed in memory.
