Without the noise and pollution from cars, Gulangyu Island is considered as “ garden on the sea ”. This munity of 20,000 has more pianos per capita than anywhere else on the -hence Gulangyu's nickname " Piano Island ."

It is meters above sea level, being the peak of the whole island. On the top, there is a sightseeing platform, where tourists can have a panoramic view of Xiamen and Gulang Island.
