Crag of Sunlight is commonly called "Dazzling Crag". It sits on top of the Dragon's Head Hill (Longtoushan) in the mid-south of Gulangyu Island. Standing as high as 92.68 meters above the sea level, the summit of Dragon's Head Hill is the highest peak on the Island. On top of the Crag a round platform is built for the convenience of sightseers to lean on the railing and look far into the distance so as to have a bird's-eye view of the whole landscape of Xiamen and Gulangyu Islands. In the middle of the hill, rocks and stones of strange shapes are scattered. In the sparse woods, there are the Lotus Convent, Ancient Cave of Summer Resort (Gubishu Dong), Dragon's Head Hill Relics, Platform for Training Sailors (Shuicao Tai) and Memorial Hall of Zheng Chenggong (a famous general in the Ming Dynasty). Stone caves, ancient walls and rubbing cliffs are scattered here and there. Amid these ruins and relics you will not be able to help recalling the past and compare it with the present with all sorts of feelings welling up in your mind. |
