Gulangyu Island Of Xiamen Of China Stock Image

Gulangyu Island, a small island in southwestern Xiamen, covers an area of 1.78 square kilometers, and is known, home and abroad, as the Garden on the Sea. It is surrounded by the sea, and has beautiful landscape. In 1988, it was listed as one of the state-level scenic spots. It is the only “on-foot” island with fresh air because there are no vehicles. Many residents on the island are music fans and play musical instruments such as piano and violin, and many Chinese-famous musicians were born here; hence its name the Island of Music.
