Gulang Islet, located to the southwest of Xiamen Island, and separated from Xiamen Island by the 600-meter-wide Lujiang Strait to require a 5-minute ferry, boasts a land area of 19,100 square meters and a population of 20,000. Originally it was named Round Sandy Islet, and in the Ming Dynasty renamed Gulang Islet. It was said that a rock in the southwest of the Islet would make drum sound when dashed against by the surging waves. So it was called Gulang (Drumming Wave) Rock. And it becomes so popular that the Islet borrows this imaginative name. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
