厦门鼓浪屿英文简介篇一
Gulangyu, separated from Xiamen by the 500-metre-wide Egret River,
with an area of 1.77 square kilometres, enjoys a lauditory title Garden on
the Sea. The original name of the islet was Yuan Zhou Zi. In the Ming
Dynasty it was renamed Gulang, meaning ''drum waves, because the
holes in the southwestern reefs hit by the waves make sounds like the
drum beating.
Overlapping peaks foil the blue water, white clouds, green trees and
bright flowers. The air in the islet is fresh. The entire place is free from
any sorts of vehicles and is particularly quiet. All these render an
atmosphere of a fairyland.
The roar of the waves breaks on the rocks. Impressive melodies
surrounding and lingering on this island make famous for its piano-laden
past. As a place of residence for Westerners during Xiamen's colonial past,
Gulangyu is famous for its architecture and for being home to China's
largest piano museum. It is known as the piano island because people
here love the piano. As early as 1913, students in schools run by
foreigners started learning the piano. The enthusiasm for music later
spread to more ordinary people on the island. Many piano families have
since then come into being and produced accomplished musicians. And
the number of the pianos possessed is in the leading place in the nation,
though there is only a population of 20,000 people.
No tourist can afford to miss one attraction located on the island ——
the nation's largest piano museum. Divided into two exhibition halls, the
museum guides visitors through a vivid history of the instrument with
displays and illustrations. All different types of pianos such as miniature
pianos, automatic pianos, accordion pianos and round-shaped pianos, are
on display.
The architecture in the islet varies greatly in style, Chinese and
foreign. Thus the islet has a laudatory title the World Architecture
Museum 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
Today, Gulangyu is listed as one of the nation's major scenic spots.
The main sites of interest here include the Sunlit Rock, Shuzhuang Park,
Gangzihou Bathing Beach and Memorial Hall to Zheng Chenggong, which
are visited annually by millions of people from all parts of the country and
the world. For people living in the hustle and bustle of today's metropolis,
citizens on this island seem to live in a paradise with a relaxing, healthy
and placid lifestyle. Find more in our detailed introduction of the major
attractions in Gulangyu Tourist Area.
