Riguang
Rock is also called
Moving Rock. It is the
summit of Gulang Islet.
On the mountain, huge
and precipitous rocks
form many caves and
gullies. Pavilions are
hidden among green
trees. If you go up the
steps, you will come to
the Lotus Flower Convent
first, where a huge rock
named ‘‘A Piece of
Tile’, sitting on the
top forms a hall below.
On the large rocks
beside the convent are
inscribed ‘‘Wonderland
of Gulang,’’ and
‘‘Number One along the
Egret River". Behind the
convent are ‘‘the
Dragon’s Cave of the
Egret River,’’ ‘‘the
Cave of Summer Resort’’
and there scenic spots.
Close to the convent is
the historical site of
Zheng Chenggong’s Dragon
Head Mountain Fastness
and the platform for
directing the raining of
his seamen. Coming to
the top of the mountain,
you can see the
beautiful view of the
sea and the mountains.
The Xiamen Island and
Gulangyu, Dadan and
Erdan are all presented
before your eyes. |
