She originally worked hard in the mountains and was determined to get out of the mountains because she saw more and more people in the mountains praising the colorful life outside the mountains. And how could she not be curious when she was in the budding period of youth? So she came to Italy, where she found a job to save money. The simple rural customs in the mountains nurtured her to be gentle, pleasant, hardworking and willing to work. Soon her work was recognized by her boss and she saved more and more money. Soon, she fell in love. Falling in love, she faces a choice between love and family. However, in the end she gave up her love for the sake of her family and returned to China and Qingdao.

What is the most famous thing about Gulangyu Island in Xiamen?
Hello, Sunlight Rock.
Sunlight Rock is commonly known as "Yanzaishan" and also known as "Huangyan". According to legend, Zheng Chenggong came to Huangyan in 1641 and saw that the scenery here was better than Sunlight Mountain in Japan, so he decided to The word "Huang" is broken down and called "Sunlight Rock". Sunlight Rock Tourist Area consists of two parts: Sunlight Rock and Qinyuan. Sunlight Rock stands in the south of the central part of Gulangyu Island. It is composed of two huge rocks, one vertical and one horizontal, standing against each other. It becomes the peak of Longtou Mountain. With an altitude of 92.7 meters, it is the highest peak of Gulangyu Island.
Standing at the gate of Sunlight Rock, I saw a huge rock more than 40 meters high, standing in the sky. On the cliff of the huge rock, there were four characters "Tianfeng Haitao" inscribed by Xu Shiying in 1915. There is a horizontal script; there are two lines of large character inscriptions below it. The right side is "Gulangdongtian", which was written by Ding Yizhong, a native of Danyang, Jiangsu Province in the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1573 AD). This is the earliest inscription on Sunlight Rock. On the left is "Lujiang No. 1", which was written by Lin Cheng from Changle, Fujian Province during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. The two are close to each other and have the same handwriting. Lin Cheng's signature is particularly large. Visitors often mistakenly think that both were written by Lin Cheng. In fact, it was later The latter was carved more than 200 years later than the former. The above three major cliff carvings can be said to vividly summarize the scenery of Sunlight Rock, leaving a deep impression on visitors. This is the first view of Sunlight Rock. Entering the mountain gate is the Sunlight Rock Temple, which was rebuilt during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. Riguangyan Temple is a cave covered by a huge rock, called "A Piece of Wa". Because every morning, the morning sun rises slowly from Xiamen Wulaofeng. The temple is first bathed in the golden sunshine, hence its name. Later, Riguangyan Temple was renamed. It is called "Lotus Temple". It was renamed after a nunnery was built during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.
Going up from Lianhua Temple, there are two inscriptions "Nine summers bring coldness" and "Lujiang Dragon Cave", both of which are beside the stone alley. The stone alley is formed by two tall rocks standing on the wall. . Because of the shade provided by the tall trees, it is always damp and humid all year round, and the cool breeze blows in the summer, making people feel a bit cool.
From the stone lane to Sunlight Rock
Going up, you will reach Longtou Mountain Village. This is the village gate left over from when Zheng Chenggong stationed troops on this mountain. Mr. Cai Yuanpei, a Chinese educator, once wrote a poem: "The mighty sky wind calms the sea waves. If the command is to set the formation, the clouds are high. Sometimes the insects, sand, monkeys and cranes are gone. I drink with righteousness." Don’t mess with it.” There is "Wanzai Pavilion" on the right side of the village gate. There is a huge stone under "Wanzai Pavilion" with a flat top, 15 meters high and 6 meters wide. It faces south and faces north, facing Xiamen across the river. On the bottom of the boulder are engraved the four characters "Fujian Xiongfeng", which are vigorous and powerful, and on the upper right are the words "former site of Zheng Yanping Water Cao Tai"; on another stone is engraved one of Zheng Chenggong's five unique poems: "rituals and music according to the first place, articles Confucius and Mencius. Nanshan Open the Longevity Region, and the East China Sea brews flowing clouds." This was written in Zheng Chenggong's cursive handwriting and was rubbed and engraved by later generations in 1918.
Near the "Xiongfeng of the Fujian Sea", there is also the famous calligrapher He Shaoji of the Qing Dynasty who inscribed the seven characters "When the legs are exhausted, the mountain is better". Visitors strive to climb to the next level, and the scenery is at the top.
Climbing up the stairs from the village gate, there are two huge rocks tilted toward each other to form a "human" shaped cave, which is called the "ancient summer cave". The cave is five feet wide and is connected to the entrance at both ends. There is a stone carving of "Ancient Summer Cave" written by Taiwanese poet Shi Shijie in the Qing Dynasty. In summer, the cool breeze blows through the cave, making it a good place for tourists to stay for a while.
On the top of the rock on the left side of the cave, there is a stone basin where the "immortal" washed his feet. Water has accumulated over the years. There are "footprints" of the "immortal" nearby. It is actually a type of sea erosion landform. The rock top platform is small and surrounded by railings, like a "hanging basket" rising into the sky. When tourists climb up, they can see the clouds and the sky close at hand. They can lean on the railing and look into the distance. They can see Dadaan, Erdan... all the islands outside Xiamen Island.

Introduction picture: Sunlight Rock: commonly known as "Yanzai Mountain", also known as "Huangyan". It is said that in 1641, Zheng Chenggong came to Huangyan and saw that the scenery here was better than Japan's Sunlight Mountain, so he took apart the word "Huang" and called it "Huangyan". It's called "Sunlight Rock". Sunlight Rock Tourist Area consists of two parts: Sunlight Rock and Qinyuan. Sunlight Rock stands in the south of the central part of Gulangyu Island. It is composed of two huge rocks, one vertical and one horizontal, standing against each other. It becomes the peak of Longtou Mountain. With an altitude of 92.7 meters, it is the highest peak of Gulangyu Island. Sunlight Rock Temple, commonly known as "a piece of tile", is actually a natural stone cave with a huge stone as the top. The temple was built according to the mountain topography. The specific time is the 14th year of Wanli during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. Riguangyan Temple has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Yuanming Hall was built to worship Maitreya. An octagonal pavilion was built in front of the temple with a plaque reading "Riguang Temple" on it. After liberation, the Yuanming Hall was changed into a Buddhist chanting hall, and the Main Hall was built in 1917. Shuzhuang Garden: Located behind Hong Kong Aberdeen on Gulangyu Island, it was built in 1913. The owner was Lin Yongjia, also known as Shu Zang, and the name of the garden was named after his homophonic name. In 1894, the Qing government failed in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and Taiwan was ceded to Japan the following year. Lin Weiyuan and his son-in-law Zang did not want to be slaves to subjugation and moved to Gulangyu Island to live. Later, Uncle Zang built this garden. The total area of ??Shuzhuang Garden is 20,328 square meters, including 3,352 square meters of water and 2,451 square meters of buildings. Haoyue Garden: Located on Fudingyan Beach in the east of Gulangyu Island, it covers an area of ??30,000 square meters and spreads along the shore of Lujiang River. This is a garden spread out with beach, rocks, green trees and pavilions. Founded in 1985, the garden was named "Haoyue Garden" after the poem "I can't sleep thinking of you, the bright moon shines through the plain curtains" in "The Collection of Two Kings of Yanping". There is a giant bronze statue of Zheng Chenggong and his generals in the park, which is 13.7 meters long, 4.7 meters high and consumes 18 tons of copper. Except for Zheng Chenggong and his left and right generals Chen Ze, Chen Guang, Chen Yonghua, and Yang Chaodong, this giant bronze sculpture is slightly larger than the real size. The other soldiers and horses extend towards both sides. The stone walls on both sides of the ancient summer cave support huge granite boulders falling from the sky, giving people the feeling of being overwhelmed by Mount Tai, which is very steep.
The four words "ancient summer cave" above were inscribed by Shi Shijie, a Taiwanese scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. The cave is bright, dry, ventilated and refreshing. Passing through the ancient summer cave and turning left, there is a small and slim pavilion, which supports the slender waist and uses the rock as a balcony. It is called "Umbrella Pavilion" for tourists to shelter from the sun and rain. Longtou Mountain Village: Sunlight Rock, also known as Longtou Mountain, faces Hutou Mountain in Xiamen across the sea. One dragon and one tiger guard Xiamen Port, which is called "Dragon and Tiger Guarding the River". The original "Xu Pavilion" here has been destroyed long ago. Shi Guoqiu from Taiwan wrote an article "Xuting Ji". This village gate is the gate of the "Longtou Mountain Village" where Zheng Chenggong stationed troops on Gulangyu Island. The round holes on the rocks were dug by soldiers setting up tents. The former commander of the 19th Route Army, General Cai Tingkai, was so in love with the scene that he wrote: Qi Jue: "With one hand in mind, I can mend the sky, and the soldiers of the eight Fujian villages are the same today and in the past; the ancient forts are still there, and I remember the heroes under the Sunlight Rock." He praised Zheng Chenggong exceptionally. Mr. Cai Yuanpei also has a poem called Qijue: "The powerful sky wind suppresses the sea waves, and the command is as high as the formation. Sometimes the insects, sand monkeys and cranes are gone, and the righteousness cannot be washed away." Among them, "Chongsha monkeys and cranes" refer to those who join the army to fight. Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall: Created on January 28, 1962 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Zheng Chenggong’s ***. Zheng Chenggong, whose original name was Mori and whose courtesy name was Damu, was born in Ishii, Nan'an, Fujian Province in 1624 on the coast of Hirado, Japan. Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty came to the throne in Fuzhou. Seeing that he was loyal to the court, he gave him the surname "Zhu" and changed his name to "Shenggong", so the people called him "Zheng Guo's surname". Emperor Yongli named him King Yanping. His father Zheng Zhilong secretly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and Zheng Chenggong left Kinmen and vowed to fight to the death against the Qing Dynasty. He used Kinmen and Xiamen as his bases and fought fiercely with the Qing army for many years. He once reached the gates of Nanjing, but was defeated due to arrogance. On the bright day of April 1661, Zheng Chenggong was fully prepared and led hundreds of warships and 25,000 officers and soldiers from Liaoluo Bay in Kinmen to recover Taiwan, which had been occupied by the Dutch for 38 years, and worked hard to develop Taiwan. Zheng Chenggong died of illness in Taiwan in July 1662 at the age of 39. For more than 300 years, the people of Fujian and Taiwan have admired Zheng Chenggong very much and respected him as a citizen...
