Drawn to the island by a song, I encountered the most beautiful sunset in Gulangyu.

"The vast sea surrounds Gulangyu, the waves surge..." The first time I heard "Gulangyu Waves," the melodious tune was like an invisible hand, tickling my heart and filling me with longing for Gulangyu. Finally, I set foot on this small island filled with romance and artistic atmosphere. As evening approached, I strolled along the beach of Gulangyu, ready to greet the sunset. The horizon was already tinged with orange-red rays, dyeing the clouds into various fantastic shapes. The gentle sea breeze, carrying the unique salty and humid scent of the sea, played with my hair. On the beach, some people were playing and laughing, while others sat quietly, all waiting for that beautiful moment. I found a reef to sit on and gazed intently at the sea. The sun began to sink slowly, like a giant salted egg yolk, gradually dipping into the sea level. The sea surface shimmered, dyed golden red by the setting sun. The waves gently lapped against the reef, making pleasant sounds, as if playing a gentle symphony. At this moment, the melody of "Gulangyu Waves" seemed to echo in my ears again, blending with the beautiful scenery before my eyes, making me completely intoxicated. When the last ray of afterglow disappeared into the horizon, night gradually fell. The lights of Gulangyu gradually lit up, reflecting the moonlight and starlight. Recalling the beautiful sunset just now, my heart was filled with emotion. I came to this city because of a song, and at this moment, watching the sunset in Gulangyu, time seemed to stand still, becoming the most precious fragment in my memory, making me deeply attached to this poetic island.
