Gulangyu Island
Gulangyu Island, known as "Garden On the Sea" is located in Xiamen city of Fujian Province.
Covered in green all the year round, it's charming, elegant, secluded and serene. A great variety of villas stand shrouded by lush wood resembling numerous jadeites embellished upon a piece of verdant silk brocade. Hundreds of flowers grown on the Riguang Rock (Sunlight Rock) vie with one another for beauty. With the caressing sea breeze, it's a quite cool place in hot summer. At the foot of the rock, there's the Memorial Hall to honor the national Hero Zheng Chenggong. In the Hall, exhibited are historical data showing how general Zheng recovered Taiwan and the relics of the naval battles then. In the vicinity, one can find the historical site of the platform where general Zheng directed the training of his naval force.
