Gulangyu,a beautiful island in Xiamen,Fujian,was successfully listed in the UNESCO World Heritage(世界文化遗产)on July 8th,2017.It’s not only the pride of my hometown,but also the pride of the whole nation.

Gulangyu is separated from Xiamen by the 600-metre-wide Egret River(鹭江), with an area of 1.91 square kilometers. It’s like a garden on the water. You can go there only by ships. Cars, buses and bikes are not allowed to run on the island. It is so quiet that wherever you go, you can hear the sound of playing the piano. As a result of this, it is called “the island of music”.

The first name of the island was Yuanzhouzi. In the Ming Dynasty it was changed as Gulangyu, meaning “drum waves”.Because the holes in the southwestern reefs (暗礁)hit by the waves make sounds like the drum beating.

Today, Gulangyu is listed as one of the nation’s major travelling places of interest here include the Sunlight Rock,Shuzhuang Park,Gangzihou Bathing Beach and Memorial Hall to Zheng Chenggong,which are visited by millions of people from all parts of the country and the world.What’s more,the buildings and food are popular with visitors.

Therefore, I hope our government can protect the fairyland well,especially the environment.
