Drum Wave Island (Gulangyu) |
|
　　 Known as the "garden on the sea," this island is separated from the city proper by the one-kilometer-wide Lujiang Strait and is accessible by ferry. The highest spot on the island is sunlight Rock (Riguangyan), so called because the hilltop glistens like silver in the sun. Sunlight Rock commands a panoramic view of the entire city of Xiamen, Drum Wave Island, and the Lujiang River. It was here that the Ming Dynasty general and national hero Zheng Chenggong (1624-62) once directed the training of his navy. Halfway down the hill, there is a cave called Ancient Summer Resort Cave (Gubishudong) in which people can hear the sound of waves, like the roaring of a tiger. The sea and the sunshine can be enjoyed on the beaches at the foot of Sunlight Rock.
