5.2——Travel Notes to Xiamen: Leisurely Gulangyu Island

I have a hobby that I’m embarrassed to talk about. Every time I travel, I want to go to the local supermarket and see how people live there, including what they commonly use, what they eat, etc. It’s the same as me. What's the difference... When I came to Xiamen for the first time, when I saw mangoes in the supermarket that were bigger than my palm and cost 5 yuan per pound, when I saw longan trees and mango trees, when I saw them on the boat When I saw the waves at the stern of the boat, when I set foot on Gulangyu Island and saw the beach and sea view... I knew I had indeed arrived in Xiamen.

After lunch at Nanputuo Temple in the morning, we set off to Gulangyu Island. In Gulangyu, you can really feel the leisurely life, a kind of peace and tranquility. Prices are not so high that it scares me. The life here probably has a higher happiness index. As a northerner, I have very little experience in boating. On the boat to Gulangyu Island, I was very surprised to spend the entire journey on the open-air board at the end of the second floor, under the sun at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. This is a scenery I have never seen before. I can't quite tell the difference between the sea and the river. For me in the north, I can't find much difference between the two. I have been to the riverside before and had a similar feeling, but I must admit that it is more open here, and my heart is more relaxed and relaxed...

Go to the highest point of Gulangyu Island - the top of Sunlight Rock. The scenery there is better, so good that I must share it with others, so good that it makes me want to stay here for a few days, so good that it makes me plan my next visit... At this time, I once again felt deeply that I was uneducated and could not Use words to accurately describe the scenery and mood. At that moment of surprise and pleasure, the kind of scenery similar to that in Hong Kong or Taiwanese dramas, the temperament of this city came to my face. This is Xiamen, this is Gulangyu Island.

I am really a vulgar person, what I am most interested in is "food", and once again I despise my vulgar self. Shacha noodles, seven-star fish, seafood stew, fried oysters, lychee meat, aiyu ice, mango ice...
