Fresh air, classic architectures, winding streets, pure sea-wind, the sounds of sea-waves, and the bright and clear laughter of people, that is the Gulangyu Island, a quiet island sits out of noisy, located with Xiamen across the sea. Xiamen is one of the most beautiful cities in China, and is one of the places worth to visit for long time during China City Tours, so it breeds the beautiful Gulangyu Island. It has no airtight armored concrete and high buildings, no stifling heavy traffic and crowds, all things here are quiet, elegant and gentle. Like lively, the Longtou Road is a great place to enjoy various shops here; like tranquility, the seaside is an ideal place to appreciate the soft sea-wind and exclusive feelings; like to explore, to hike to the Yueguangyan to explore the unbeknown new land.
First go to Gulangyu Island, I was addicted into the characteristic stores in Longtou Road. The whole street is full of delicate boutiques and coffee houses, Zhangsanfeng Milky Tea, Chenguan Western Tea house, Panxiaolian Yoghurt, etc, even the names of these boutiques have epitomes of Chinese traditional culture. Visitors as well as me are attracted to this street by its reputation, even if buy nothing, just enjoy the unique design style, listen to the owners tell their stories about their brands, is also the cozy leisure. In addition, I pay more attention to an interesting detail, and also one of the most famous characteristics, always see many beautiful girls gathering here in order to collect the trademarks of these boutiques, everyone has a small notebook, often ask if they can seal when they enter into these stores. Sealing and then strolling, they are addicted into this activity, for these lovely and unique trademarks.
Some people go to Gulangyu for the characteristic boutiques, and some for the cate on this island as well as me. Longtou Road Snack Lane has every kind of snacks and every cate people expected to find here, all the authentic snacks belonging to Gulangyu let you like to settle down here to enjoy these delicious foods every day. The Malasang, 181, Longtou Road, cannot be missed, of course, it is highly recommended by a local friend who is senior fan of eating, and the fresh fruit juice offered by this shop is the best I had tasted, so that I cannot help buying one even though I need to detour. Besides the snack lane, the street corners still are the discovering places of snacks, even the food sold by people with shoulder pole.
Go to Gulangyu Island, the thing make your tour become perfect is living in the Rose House which is the only one theme lodge for honeymoon. The geographic location of Rose House is best, the right side of it is the Xiehe Auditorium with quiet environment, and after one minute walking distance is the Longtou Road Commercial Area.
Gulangyu is not only the place for leisure, but also a place for exploring. If you like it as well as me, you have great chances to find more interesting places.
