Every city has a story. Different customs and customs, and different dialect cultures make a city unique. Among many cities, this is the only one that mentions literature and art. This city is Xiamen, which is a tourist city that many people visit every year. You will find many different phenomena in the local area. This city is definitely a romantic coastal city.

Only the local people in Xiamen have a slow pace of life and a comfortable life, which is enough for you to forget all the bad things, and the life in front of you has become a yearning. You will feel that the time has been extended here, so you can better feel the local atmosphere. It is clean and simple, and you don't want to miss everything. Such a clean city is worth a visit for everyone.

In this hot summer, I chose the new route created by China Merchants Viking Cruises-the 5th Binhai Twin Cities Tour will set sail on June 30. This route is suitable for a cultural exploration journey for the whole family, and it will be on the island's literature and art."Xiamen".

This brand-new micro-vacation route that "combines land and sea" takes us from Shenzhen Shekou Wharf to cruise comfortably and enjoy the scenery on the sea; landing in Xiamen, the graceful "Sea Garden", we will visit Huihe Stone Cultural Park with expectations and experience the amazing craftsmanship of intangible cultural heritage craftsmen; then we will go deep into the vibrant and cultural city of literature and art to appreciate the unique cultural customs; taste authentic southern Fujian cuisine and start a vibrant and romantic slow life...

In Xiamen, there are beautiful bays, peaceful alleys, and literary and artistic bookstores. Find a cup of your favorite book and a cup of coffee, and the afternoon will pass. Go to various scenic spots and enjoy Xiamen under different beautiful scenery, especially Gulangyu. It is the first stop for many people and a beautiful start for a trip. When you come here, you will feel the beauty of Xiamen.

Gulangyu is almost known to the world with the success of its heritage application and the development of tourism. I have always felt that the deepest heritage of Gulangyu lies in the century-old houses. These red brick ancient houses have gradually declined or been reborn. The rolling wheels of history have left the deepest traces on them.

Gulangyu Island, also known as the "Island of Piano" and "Island of Music", is more like an island of time, strung up with jumping notes and weaving wonderful music stories like many treasures from home.

We also came this time to explore this island of music. Music continues on this island, firmly takes root, leaving an immortal mark.

The famous Piano Museum is located in Shuzhuang Garden. Shuzhuang Garden was built in 1913. It is located in the south of Gulangyu Island, facing the sea and leaning against the Sunlight Rock. It was originally a private villa of the local famous gentry Lin Erjia. The owner named the garden after the homophonic sound of his word "Shuzang". It has Baishuiyang Waterscape scenery, volcanic island reefs, and Tuerling alpine meadow beauty.

Dedicated as a park in 1955. Shuzhuang Garden is cleverly laid out using natural terrain. The whole garden is divided into two parts: Tibetan Sea Garden and Bushan Garden. Each scenery is scattered and orderly. The garden is on the sea and the sea is in the garden. It not only has the exquisite elegance of the Jiangnan courtyard, but also has the flying of seagulls. The majestic and magnificent, dynamic and dynamic contrast complement each other. There are also scenic spots in the park such as the 44th Bridge and the 12 Cave Days. The vast sea area is its pavilions, and the Nantaiwu Mountains across the sea are its walls. On the huge rock ahead, the four characters "The Sea and Sky" written by Zhang Ruitu, a great calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, can not help but arouse countless associations.

The Piano Museum displays more than 70 clavichords collected by Mr. Hu Youyi. These clavichords are all of different varieties and shapes, and most of them are well preserved. They all have carved patterns, wooden textures, and are full of classical atmosphere.

The Piano Museum was built in 2000 and is located in the "Tingtao Xuan" in Shuzhuang Garden. It contains rare and precious gold-plated pianos, the world's earliest four-corner piano and the earliest and largest upright piano.

The museum also displays an ancient crank piano, a pedal automatic piano produced a hundred years ago, and an eight-pedal clavichord. Most of these pianos have experienced the two wars, and the candlestick lighting used as decorations has a history of more than a hundred years. Visiting the Piano Museum is equivalent to browsing the history of piano development in the world.

In 1920, Li Qingquan built two red brick villas on Zhangzhou Road in Gulangyu Island. They were nearly a hundred years old, but they seemed to have escaped the intrusion of time. One of them has been renovated for nearly two years and has become a new Lijiazhuang Hotel. The other building is the "Lijiazhuang New Sihai Accompanying Ceremony Cultural Experience Hall". They are simple but exquisite, elegant and humble, and time has precipitated them appropriately.

We walked into the "Lijiazhuang New Sihai Accompanying Ceremony Cultural Experience Hall" built in 1920. This building has clear water and red bricks. The architectural pattern combines Chinese and Western styles. Although it has been repaired, it still retains its original appearance. Small details can show the beauty of the architectural aesthetics. Whether it is corridor lights or decoration, they are all made just right and comfortable.

The three-story Xiaohong Building in Lijiazhuang is now the New Sihai Cultural Experience Hall, where you can buy unique accompanying gifts from Fujian. It retains its original appearance well here. Many tourists rest in the courtyard. The first floor is a gift display, the second floor is an ingenious snack, and the third floor is a collection of maritime jewelry and cultural and creative masterpieces. The best ones of course belong to the rooftop. This scenery.

Walking up to the roof and looking into the distance, the building is facing the Sunlight Rock, and you can see half of Gulangyu Island from almost 360°. Climbing up and looking far away, I feel quite moved. The scenery here is so beautiful.

The last stop we walked into Huang Rongyuan Hall, located in one of the top ten mansions in Gulangyu, which is now the China Recording Museum.

Huang Rongyuan Hall is located at No. 32 Fujian Road, Gulangyu Island. It was built in 1920 and has a Western style building. There are multiple colonnade columns throughout the building, and the entire granite strip is carved with stone, which has the charm of ancient Rome. Most of the capital heads are of the ancient Greek Tauric column. The facade of the building is set off by large columns and arches, and the periphery is supported by small columns.

The museum commentator explained to us the development history of this place: it is committed to creating a place to systematically protect, display, research, and share historical documents and archives of old records, filling the shortcomings and gaps in the long-term absence of establishing a "Chinese nation's audio memory archive" in China.

The original sound of a century-old out of print reproduces the majestic origin and low-key attitude of "The Good Voice of China". Since its completion, Huang Rongyuan Hall has almost never been opened to the public. After half a century, the century-old building and the century-old record have once again become connected, which seems to confirm the indissoluble bond between this national treasure's architecture and music.

Huang Rongyuantang is reborn because of music and sends a sincere invitation to the world to experience the eternal charm of Gulangyu Music Island. Walking into the China Recording Museum, you can hear many precious historical sounds: the first recorded sound of "Mary Has a Lamb" sung by Edison, and the only recorded speech in Mr. Sun Yat-sen's life,"Encouraging the People", the only album "Four Famous Dans" recorded together; There is the only recording in the legendary life of Nguyen Lingyu, the "silent film queen","The Song of Looking for Brother in Thousands of Miles", the "Mandarin Gramophone Film" recorded by Zhao Yuanren, a language genius of the Republic of China, to promote Mandarin, and the shocking "March of the Volunteers" to New China's first record,"The Sky of the Jiefang District".

There are really many treasures in the museum. In addition, there are also the first Xiamen Yuqian Qingqu (Nanyin) record recorded on Gulangyu Island in 1908; the first stereo large-scale record "Blood Fingerprint" that ushered in a new era of Chinese stereo music; and the first magnetic tape, CD, glass CD and other precious records from different periods in New China.

Fortunately, we also heard the classic song "Night Shanghai" sung by a generation of stars during the Republic of China on the replica record.

Come to Xiamen to stay away from the boring life for a while, slow down and have the heart to see the city and feel the atmosphere. It is not only full of literature and art but also full of fireworks. Such a city can always attract many young people. I saw poetry and distance beyond life.

Happy times are always short. We will take a passenger ship on Xiamen Sanqiutian Wharf and return to our lovely and warm "home on the sea", China Merchants Idun. End a day of happy journey through Xiamen's romantic literature and art.
