1. Gulangyu Island

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Xiamen. Please allow me on behalf of China International Travel Agency to extend our warm welcome to you. My name is XXX. My English name is Cindy. So you can call me Cindy. This is our driver Mr. Li. There is an old saying in China that goes “it is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar”. It’s my honor to be your local guide during your stay in Xiamen. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I will be always at your service. Thank you!

Today, we are going to visit the Gulangyu Island. It will take us 20 minutes to arrive at the destination. Let me tell you something about Gulangyu Island.

It is located southwest of Xiamen city. It is famous for its delicate natural beauty, its ancient relics and its varied architecture. The island is on China’s list of national scenic spots and also ranks at the top of the list of the most scenic areas in Fujian Province.

In the Ming Dynasty, the island was called “yuan shan zhou island”. It got its present name from the huge reef surrounding it when tide comes in the waves pound the reef and it sounds like the beating of a drum. The island came be to be named “Gu lang”. Gu in Chinese means “drum” and lang “waves”. Among the scenic spots on the island, the most attractive are Sunlight Rock and Shuzhuang Garden. And this morning we only visit Shuzhuang Garden.

OK, our bus is leading to the parking-lot. Please take all of your belongings and follow me to shuzhuang Garden.

The Shuzhuang Garden was built in 1931. It was once a private villa. It became a garden park open to the public in 1955. It is divided into two parts——the Garden of Hiding the Sea (藏海园) and the Garden of Making-up Hills (补山园).

Now, we are at the site of Shuzhuang Garden. If sunlight is a martial general, Shuzhuang Garden is just like a mild lady. Shuzhuang Graden is a unique seaside garden in the famous peaks in Xiamen. The park is very cleverly designed by taking advantage of the mountain and the sea.

Enter the gard en please. You can’t get the view of sea right away, right? Don’t worry. Let me turn around this wall, beautiful scene, isn’t it? In fact, this is sea-hiding technique as you know. A Swiss garden architecture expert, who had a visit to Shuzhuang Garden said that there is only lake-hiding in Switzerland but sea-hiding in Shuzhuang Garden is very fascinating.

Now, you see, this is the Forty-four Bridge, which was built when the owner was 44 years old. It looks like a dragon moving through the water. It is so vividly blended with the surrounding that you would find them both pleasing to your eyes and to your mind. I believe that Shuzhuang Garden must have given you a feel of stillness in things moving and a movement in things still.

OK, I’ll give you 20 minutes to have a rest or your own activities. We’ll gather at 5:00 at the entrance. Please check your time and have fun.

Ladies and gentlemen, how time flies. We’ll have to conclude our visit to Gulangyu Island. It is my pleasure to be your guide and have a wonderful time with you all. Thank you for your
