Today, we are going to visit the Gulangyu Island. It will take us 20 minutes to arrive at the destination. Let me tell you something about Gulangyu Island. It is located southwest of Xiamen city. It is famous for its delicate natural beauty, its ancient relics and its varied architecture. The island is on Chinas list of national scenic spots and also ranks at the top of the list of the most scenic areas in Fujian Province. In the Ming Dynasty, the island was called “yuan shan zhou island”. It got its present name from the huge reef surrounding it when tide comes in the waves pound the reef and it sounds like the beating of a drum. The island came be to be named “Gu lang”. Gu in Chinese means “drum” and lang “waves”. Among the scenic spots on the island, the most attractive are Sunlight Rock and Shuzhuang Garden. And this morning we only visit Shuzhuang Garden.OK, our bus is leading to the parking-lot. Please take all of your belongings and follow me to shuzhuang Garden. The Shuzhuang Garden was built in 1931. It was once a private villa. It became a garden park open to the public in 1955. It is divided into two partsthe Garden of Hiding the Sea (藏海园) and the Garden of Making-up Hills (补山园). Now, we are at the site of Shuzhuang Garden. If sunlight is a martial general, Shuzhuang Garden is just like a mild lady. Shuzhuang Graden is a unique seaside garden in the famous peaks in Xiamen. The park is very cleverly designed by taking advantage of the mountain and the sea. Enter the garden please. You cant get the view of sea right away, right? Dont worry. Let me turn around this wall, beautiful scene, isnt it? In fact, this is sea-hiding technique as you know. A Swiss garden architecture expert, who had a visit to Shuzhuang Garden said that there is only lake-hiding in Switzerland but sea-hiding in Shuzhuang Garden is very fascinating.Now, you see, this is the Forty-four Bridge, which was built when the owner was 44 years old. It looks like a dragon moving through the water. It is so vividly blended with the surrounding that you would find them both pleasing to your eyes and to your mind. I believe that Shuzhuang Garden must have given you a feel of stillness in things moving and a movement in things still.OK, Ill give you 20 minutes to have a rest or your own activities. Well gather at 5:00 at the entrance. Please check your time and have fun.Ladies and gentlemen, how time flies. Well have to conclude our visit to Gulangyu Island.

Mazu and Mazu Culture（莆田湄洲妈祖文化）Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,Please allow me on behalf of China International Travel Agency to extend our warm welcome to you. My name is XXX. My English name is Cindy. So you can call me Cindy. This is our driver Mr. Li. There is an old saying in China that goes “it is a great pleasure to have friends from afar”. Its my honor to be your local guide during your stay in Putian city. If you have any question, please dont hesitate to let me know. I will be always at your service. Thank you!Today, we are going to visit Meizhou Island. That is the home town of sea goddess and peace envoyMazu. It will take us 5minutes to arrive at the destination, let me tell you something about Mazu. Maybe youll ask why the island gets such a strange name. Thats because the shape of the whole island is just like a ladys eyebrow. According to history, Mazu, known as a miraculous lady, was born in a benevolent family on 23 March of lunar calendar 960AD, her father named her Lin mo because she was silent at birth. Who could have imagined that silent baby would, 1000 years later, be worshiped by an estimated 200 million Chinese worldwide. She was very intelligent and had a very retentive memory. When she was 16 years old, a celestial being from well presented her a bronze tally which could ward off evil sprits. From then on, she was kept busy practicing medicine, rescuing boats in danger. To our great sorrow, she met a premature death at the age of 28 years old, therefore, people built the Goddess Temple in honor of her. OK, our bus is leading to the parking-lot. Please take all of your belongings and fellow me please.Now, ladies and gentlemen, we are here in front of the ancestral Temple itself, also called zhen dian. It is an upturned double-eave roof building with a horizontal board inscribing “favor spreads to the four seas” on its face. It was built by Yao Qisheng, who was Governor-general of Fujian, so people also called it “Prince Temple” to memorize his deed. Now, lets head for the “Rear Hall”, another name for “Chamber Hall”, the highlights of the whole Ancestral Temple Complex. Here is the Chamber Hall. Before we enter the hall, lets first look at this interesting couplet “齐，朝”. The first line is made of ten “齐” and one “戒”. The next is made of ten “朝” and one “音”. OK, who could read the couplet and tell us the meaning? (looking around) Well, let me explain it to you. The first line means “to show their piousness, disciples must abstain from meat before they come for pilgrimage” .The next line refers to “the tide of Meizhou Bay would never cease year after year.” It implies that people should pursue worshipping Mazu like the everlasting tides of Meizhou so that Mazu will respond to their pleas. We are now on the highest point of Meizhou Island, the enormous statue we can see now is Mazu statue which is 14.35metres high and is made of 365 fine granite stones which symbolizes that Mazu will bless fishermen at sea every day in a year. Observant tourists may notice that this statue faces the direction of Tainwan Island. Yes, there is a similar statue, facing Meizhou in Beigang Chao Tian Temple in Taiwan. The two statues in the two sides of the straits echo each other voicing that people in the two sides of the straits are longing for early reunification .Let s cross our fingers for the early reunification and also for your health and safety. OK, I will give you 30 minutes to take a rest and your own activities. And we will gather at 11:00 here, please check your time and have fun.
