Gulangyu finally set foot on this island, arrived in Xiamen in the third time.
When the ferry from Xiamen drum slowly heading for the Straits, when Gulangyu, your camera can capture panoramic views of the island. PS no need to adjust the black and white film or color saturation, using the eye lens is also photographed slightly nostalgic tone of the film, except for the island of little new construction this point, I can not tell that a trace of the old feeling in the end from the Ho Department.
Maybe it is because the water around the island has never presented a beautiful blue's sake, admiring Quedui Gulangyu quite critical of the no shortage. Like first time I saw a lot of people disappointed, like the West Lake Heaven and people's imagination has often led to misleading. Perhaps the aesthetic is a very subjective act that I have people in the eyes of Gulangyu unforgettable beauty.
Like a hereditary aristocrat, Gulangyu whole body reveals a Yigu elegance. Is the island's environment and climate first became her Huarongyuemao plastic. Not to mention here, plantains and how Tsui Pik, Gurong how the trees that look more attractive is the banana implanted deep court, Gurong set off with a red tile summit of the hill. Walking in the winding of the Shenxiang, the Taiwanese-style cornice Qiaojiao catch a glimpse of grace, under the shadows of flowers Chao Chao, meandering vine wall plate right or wrong, when an unknown floral hit. Hu Ting was surprised Qingxiang people, used to be a great duo of red fall from a height of Kapok. Island residents to love the kinds of plants around their houses, terrace roof, and even the wall along the corner, has red flowers decorated trees form a contrast. Hillside houses built mostly Chinese and western wall, and quite certain age. Ancient gate, the red brick wall, hidden in a verdant patchwork way into.
Who come to Gulangyu, without exception, noted here in the colonial cultural heritage. This is only 1.78 square kilometers in the past, "International Settlement" have been built on the 12 countries, consulates, Matheson, hospitals, schools and churches are also readily available. Those left behind architectural styles of Europe and the United States has become the highlight of the entire island scenery, relics of colonial rule in the history of the plume in the derived as a romantic sentiment and sentimental nostalgia has become the carrier of another culture.
That Gulangyu is a small island with nostalgia, there is a reason for that come from the island's traffic conditions: In addition to offer tourists a small amount of battery cars, the island's people are walking. No madding crowd, lies not wild, but is now hard to find a place. I am on the island coincides with the low season, almost no tourists. Walk Lane, the flickering of the piano or to practice throat soprano always rains, pleasure forward to your ears. Here is worthy of a national piano has the highest density areas where there music came accompanied. Since 1913, the church school students began playing the piano since the piano learning music Gulangyu people will gradually become a tradition. In the island's most famous piano family probably belong to Yin is a.
The rush on the island, without the prior data collection guidelines, as usual, a class, with only a simple map. Caused by regret is that I left out the beans from the garden village piano museum.
