Kulangsu

When I was an elementary school student, I once visited Kulangsu Island. That was thirty-one years ago. Kulangsu is a small beautiful island in Amoy Fujian China. It is very close to Kinmen Taiwan, about forty kilometers away. Although it's not large, the scenery is gorgeous. There are no cars on the island, so the air is fresh and the environment is quiet. Kulangsu has many old buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles, giving it a unique charm. Famous attractions include Sunlight Rock and the Piano Museum.  It is also known as a "Garden on the Sea",  where visitors can enjoy ocean views while walking around. Because it was occupied by the British in history,  many foreigners once lived there. The island still has many European-style buildings. In 2017, Kulangsu was listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. Today it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Amoy.

当我是小学生的时候，曾经去过鼓浪屿。 距今三十一年前的往事了。 鼓浪屿是中国福建厦门一座美丽的小岛。 它距台湾金门很近, 大约四十公里。 虽然岛不大，但风景优美。 岛上沒有汽车，因此空气清新，环境安静。 鼓浪屿有许多融合中西风格的老建筑，非常有特色。 著名的景点包括日光岩，钢琴博物馆。 它也被称为海上花园, 游客可以一边散步一边欣赏海景。 因为历史上被英国占领，所以有很多外国人居住。 岛上仍然保留了不少欧式建筑。 2017年鼓浪屿被列入联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产名录。 如今它是厦门最受欢迎的观光胜地之一。
