The beauty of Gulangyu really shocked me. The architectures still exist as they were a century ago and the island inhabitates generations by generations even this day. If only one word is allowed to discribe the sea island, nothing is better than "Historical". Built in the middle of the sea, the leading roads of Gulangyu are up-lifting to 虎门 batteries. All the houses are arranging along the roadside, ancient but lively, because of the hospital local people.

 

Museums which make Gulangyu not only historical but also artistic, are scattered on this island. The paintings made by fish bone are exhibited in an villa built in 1907. Of course, it is one of the museums on this island. The whole picture below is made by fish bone and the entire process would take about half a year to finish. Since no photograph is permitted in the exhibiting hall, many creative paintings can only be left in memory. Usually sacles are used to repesent for flower petals, thenar fascia（one fish has only one fascia) for the leaves of lotus, the bones on the fin for stem of plants, and many other special shapes for vivid animals. My favourite piece is a picture called "CaoCao", the artist find an grand piece of fish bone as if CaoCao is wearing tabard standing by the sea and holding a sword in his hand.
