The Gulangyu Island, covering an area of 1.8 square km, is located off the west seashore of Xiamen, Fujian Province. Because of the sea caves on the island, which give sounds like drums when waved rise, the island got its name Gulang (drum waves). It has undulating hills abundant with historical sites surrounded by evergreen trees. The Sunlight Rock on top of the Dragon Head is the highest point of the island and the symbol of Xiamen. With about a thousand buildings in both Chinese and foreign styles, the island is reputed as “World-Architecture Fair”. It is also called the “Island of Piano” because the residents are fond of music, and the percentage of households possessing pianos tops the country. One would be enchanted by the melodious piano music, gentle sea breeze and beautiful weather , and forget to return.
八卦楼,是鼓浪屿的标志性建筑,在三楼八边形平台上置一直径10米的红色圆顶,因有8道棱线,故称“八卦顶”。它矗立于鼓浪屿中部,傲视云天,与日光岩形成和谐的对景。八卦楼现为厦门市博物馆。
日光岩又名“晃岩”,俗称龙头山。耸峙于鼓浪屿中偏南部,是鼓浪屿的最高峰,高90米,山麓有日光寺,每当太阳初升,阳光正射到山石和寺内,故名。登临俯瞰,景物尽收眼底。民族英雄郑成功收复台湾,曾屯兵于此,现尚存水操台、寨门故址。1962年2月在岩麓建立郑成功纪念馆。
菽庄花园位于鼓浪屿日光岩南麓,毗邻港仔后海滨。园主林尔嘉,原系台湾富商,清光绪二十一年(1895年)日本侵占台湾后,携眷避居鼓浪屿,1913年秋始建此菽庄,为厦门名园之最。1956年园主后人将此园献给国家。菽庄花园背倚日光岩,面临大海,全园分为藏海园、补山园两大部分,各造五景。藏海五景为眉寿堂、壬秋阁、真率亭、四十四桥、招凉亭;补山五景为顽石山房、十二洞天、亦爱吾庐、听潮楼、小兰亭。
