厦门旅游的英文作文(20篇)

暑假是旅游的好时间，所以我准备去厦门玩。因为我去的时间很长，所以我就不对大家作一一介绍了。好玩的地方有很多，但是我想把那最好玩的一天中最有趣的事情告诉大家，那就是去又绿又美的茶山上去采茶。

我们的宾馆离茶山不远，所以我们步行去茶山采茶。我们到了山下，一人拿了一个大箩筐上山采茶去了。采茶的方法很简单，只需要找出茶树上比较嫩的叶子，把它们都摘下来就可以了。因为我想做更多的茶叶，所以我十分的努力。时间过得很快，转眼间就到中午了，我们必须要下山了，因为中午的太阳特别得好，我们想要好好地利用一下。

茶叶制作，只需要三步，第一步就是晒茶，需要先将茶叶放到一个容器里，然后再把茶叶放在里面。等茶叶晒好了，我们要做的第二步就是将不是特别好的茶叶拿出来，做成茶叶糕。终于到了第三步，就是炒茶啦!我们先将茶叶放入一个大黑锅中，然后拿出两个像刀一样的木制东西，用来炒茶叶。炒茶的速度得快一点，不然茶叶就毁了，炒茶的时候十分热，有时没炒几分钟就已经满头大汗，炒茶的时间整体不是很长，很快我就将湿湿的茶叶炒成了干干的茶叶干，不一会儿好喝的茶叶就完成了。因为我们人比较多，所以每人只能分得一点点茶叶。虽然少，但是我也十分的开心，因为东西是我们做的。我之前说有些叶子是可以做茶叶糕的，所以我们最终也吃了点茶叶糕。

这就是我暑假里最有意思的一天了，虽然暑假很长，但是最有意思的只有这一天，因为我明白了：只有付出了自己的努力，收获时才会感觉有意义。

早就听说厦门的鼓浪屿很好玩，这不，今年暑假，爸爸妈妈就带我到厦门鼓浪屿，我终于有幸一睹她的芳容。

到了厦门后，我们准备乘船去鼓浪屿。我们买了船票，上了船，视野马上变得宽阔起来。只见浪花拍打着海岸，那声音就像一首优雅的钢琴曲。一望无际的大海映衬着蔚蓝色的天空，阳光下的沙滩金灿灿的，这便是我第二一次见到的鼓浪屿。我激动地大声朝前方呼喊：鼓浪屿，我来了!

听导游说，鼓浪屿素有“海上花园”的美称，因岛上有一块中空巨石，波浪拍打，其声如鼓，故名“鼓浪屿”。一踏上小岛，一棵枝繁叶茂的榕树映入眼帘。根系盘踞，榕树的气根千丝万缕，远看似垂柳婆娑美丽。迎面吹来的海风让人心旷神怡。沿着僻静的小路径直向前，两旁的厦门的市树凤凰树高大挺拔，树叶绿得透出光来，有的犹如凤凰迎着阳光展翅欲飞，有的犹如凤凰仰天长鸣，还有的犹如凤凰低头沉吟。站在山顶眺望大海，茫茫大海已在我眼前形成了—条线，海天一色，美丽的景色尽收眼底，侧耳倾听，还能听见海浪发出的。“哗哗”声呢。

鼓浪屿的海底世界让人大开眼界。凶猛的鲨鱼，机灵的海豚，呆头呆脑的企鹅……无所不有。漫步在五彩斑斓的鱼儿之间，长着独角的牛角鱼，会发光的荧光鱼，还有可爱的小丑鱼，都给我留下了深刻的印象。

不久，夜幕降临，“音乐之岛”便充满了美妙的钢琴声。婉转的琴声在耳边回荡，轻快时如泉水叮咚;舒缓时如潺潺流水，令人流连忘返。鼓浪屿换上了自己的全部“首饰”，将自己打扮得漂漂亮亮。望着这风景秀丽之宝地，我不禁沉醉了……

今天，我们来到我向往的城市——厦门!终于来到我梦寐以求的厦门，那激动的心情，即使是火车晚点也让我激动万分，盼望着与她的“会面”。到达目的地时，已经是凌晨了，可尽管是凌晨，厦门迎接我的第一印象——热。

第二天，我还是早早的起床了，一心想着这几天会逛不同的景点，我就兴奋地睡不着觉。我忙问妈妈：“今天我们去哪玩儿呀?”妈妈回答我：“去你向往的大学——厦门大学，感受一下大学生活，怎么样?”我跳跃着说：“太好了!”

厦大与南普陀相邻，于是我们先去了南普陀。一听说要爬山，我和弟弟都特别高兴，对于一个北方的孩子，爬山还是件很难得的事情。我们努力地爬山，可是天气太热了，汗顺着脖子往下流，衣服也被汗浸湿了大半。但我们一直坚持，待爬到半山腰时，已经能俯视大半个厦门岛了，看着厦大的红墙绿瓦，看着情人湖，看着嘉庚楼……又往上爬了一段，虽然没有到山顶，但已经可以看到厦门的全貌了，那儿有“两把刀”，那儿有“一个环”……真美啊!真的是站得高，望的远啊!

午饭过后，我们走进了厦门大学。我既看到了厦大的历史，又看到厦大文化。

厦大中给我留下最深印象的是——芙蓉隧道。芙蓉隧道是厦大中最有文化的一处景观。里面有很多很多的画，我几乎和每一幅画都拍照留影，美丽极了。那些画都代表着每个人在大学时光里的不同回忆。走在芙蓉隧道中，我仿佛看到了他们的大学时光，也好像看到自己的大学时光。

穿过芙蓉隧道，就到了天鹅湖，我还和一只在湖面上的黑天鹅合影了呢!

不愧被誉为“南方之强”呀!穿行在树林中，漫步在隧道里突然有一种说不出的感觉。啊!那不正是我所向往的地方吗?

1月30日那天，是我和妈妈去厦门游玩的日子。原本喜欢睡懒觉的我，在那天早上，我居然早早的起了床。要知道，我对厦门可是充满了期待，经过四个小时的颠簸，我们总算到了厦门。

啊，厦门的天空蓝蓝的，水清清的，树叶绿绿的，跟温州简直是天壤之别。动车刚停稳，我就迫不及待地跑下动车，去呼吸那清新的空气。

出了车站，我们坐上了旅游大巴车。车子一路前行，导游讲解着沿路的风景和故事。经过厦门大学时，我情不自禁的喊出了声，好大好美的校园呀!导游说，如果想去校园里面参观，可以在我们自由活动的时候去。

第一站，我们来到了闽南乃至全国闻名“千年古刹”南普陀寺。那里有数不清的佛像，佛像各式各样，有站着的、坐着的、卧着的，而且脸部的表情也各不相同，有的严肃、有的安详、有的苦闷。那里最有趣的一件事就是对佛像许愿，不过，如果许下的愿望真的实现了，就得自己亲自去跟佛像还愿。

终于到了自由活动的时候了，我和妈妈赶到厦门大学，好奇地在厦门大学里逛来逛去。大学里面有个芙蓉湖，据说，以前里面还生活过几只白天鹅和黑天鹅哦!我还跟以前是厦门大学里的佼佼者的雕像合影，我希望：我长大以后能跟他们一样成为佼佼者。我和妈妈逛了一圈，想找个他们平时学习的地方参观一下，感受感受他们学习的氛围。可是，令人遗憾的是，厦门大学太大了，找都找不到。我们在里面就像无头苍蝇一样，团团转。而且厦门大学大到你去里面游玩，都需要一张地图来引路。

1月31日，我们坐豪华游轮欣赏了金门的风景，啊!金门可真是雄伟!轮船继续前行，我们经过了造型独特的跨海大桥--演武大桥。随后，我们来到鼓浪屿。

鼓浪屿是个美丽的小岛，有着“海上花园”的美名!你知道屹立于鼓浪屿东南端的巨型雕像是谁吗?让我来告诉你吧!那就是民族英雄郑成功喽!我们还去了海底世界玩。那里有趣的动物多着呢!其中有一种动物非常有趣，那就是大名鼎鼎的七彩水母了!不信你瞧!七彩水母的颜色变化莫测，一会儿变成红色，一会儿又变成绿色，它变得颜色多得都让我眼花缭乱。有最有趣的，那么一定也有最可爱的，那就是海狮啦!它一边跟我们打招呼，一边给我们表演顶球和钻圈。到结束的时候，还撒娇表示很舍不得我们呢!

2月1日，我在鼓浪屿上的一个沙滩上玩耍，玩得好不快活。我和一个同行的小弟弟奋力地盖起沙堡来，小弟弟负责运沙，我来盖沙堡。终于盖好了，再插上一面小旗子，就大功告成了，我摸了摸额头上的汗，心想：我的心血可真没白费呀!

我们还去了胡里山炮台，那里有很多古代打战用的武器，如炮、枪、剑等······非常壮观，!让我一下子从现代穿越到了古代打战的时候呢!同时也让我学到了许多知识。

吃完午餐我就得回家了，坐上了去动车站的旅游车，最后游览了世界上最漂亮的马拉松赛道。坐上了回温的动车，离开了美丽的厦门，我真有点舍不得。

啊!厦门可真是一个浪漫之地!

Last summer vacationmy family and I went to Qingdao by train.There was always sunshine and fresh airwhich made us so comfortable.We went to the seasidethe sea was as blue as the skyand bathing in the sunshine on the beach was really an enjoyable thing.I also picked up a lot of colorful shells with my little sister.There we bought many interesting souvenirsI was planing to send them to my friends.We ate many tings theresuch as fishprawnand so on.They are very delicious.Then we lived in a clean and tidy hoteland the price was not so expensive.I like Qingdao very muchand if I got a chanceI hope to come here againit is such a beautiful and interesting place.

Although it’s my second time to take plane I felt even more excited than the first time. When flying I found that I was flying over the cloud of different types and colors. The sky is also brighter and clearer than that I had ever seen. Soon we arrived in Meilan airport in Haikou the climate is totally different from that in Changzhou It was warm there and we could see coconut trees everywhere.

After 3 days competition I went to BoAo where is famous for its forum. It was my first time to experience the sea and the beach in the sunshine. When sitting on the cruise I could clearly see the ocean waves pushing the windows of the cruise. It seemed that I was surrounded by the waves and the crystal water. I felt as if a fish which had been living in the sea happily. Then we land on the beach. The sand on the beach was so soft that it was cosy to lie on the beach. I tried searching for the shells on the beach but failed. The beach was totally different from what I heard before as there was nothing except footsteps on the beach. In the afternoon I played football on beach and scored a goal with my new friends from all around China. It was really interesting and challenging.

The next day I went to Haikou. I first visited the tomb of Hairui an officer in Qing dynasty who was famous for rectitude. I think he should be the role model of every person. In the afternoon I went to the geological park of volcano. A lot of stones of different shapes came into views. When arriving the top of the park it seemed that the while city was under my view. Also I had seen plenty of interesting and rare types of the plants. I also got into a small hole in the park it is said that the hold was exactly the original hole where maqma came from. But the volcano had stopped from erupting for thousands of years.

I can’t forget this trip not only does it give me a lot of joy knowledge and good memory but also it give me a chance to make friends with people from different fart in China. By enjoying the excellent scenery I think I have fallen in love with this beautiful city. I will cherish this experience.

Many classmates ask me about my plan for summer holiday. How I wish I could have a colorful and fruitful holiday, so I have decided to do a part-time job during the summer vacation. On the one hand, I can earn some pocket money by doing a part-time job. I can spend them freely, because they are earned by myself. On the other hand, I can accumulate some practical experience by doing a part-time job. They can’t be learned in the class or from text books. Besides, I will go over my study and do some preview. I don’t want to waste the summer holiday.

Last winter holiday, I went to shanghai with my mother.

It＇s very cold in winter. There is snow and ice everywhere and you are always in a white world. You must wear warm clothes. The most exciting thing is playing with snow. Skating is also very interesting there.

I will＇ always remember shanghai, for the snow, the ice and all the beautiful things. I love shanghai.

With the general standard of living improving and the working week becoming shorter， more and more people are able to make a holiday trip to places of interest. While many like to join package tours fro convenience， I prefer to travel on my own.

I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own， I’m my own boss； and can decide when to start on my way， where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary， in a package tour you‘re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle， you have to jump up from a sound sleep and， with heavy-lidded eyes， hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving， you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule， regardless of the weather or your health condition.

True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel inpidually，for instance， getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

去年寒假，我和妈妈去了上海。

冬天很冷的。世界上到处都是雪和冰，你总是在一个白色的世界里。你必须穿暖和的衣服。最令人兴奋的事情是玩雪。滑冰也很有趣。

我将永远记住上海，因为雪，冰和所有美好的事物。我爱上海

随着人们生活水平的提高和工作时间的缩短，越来越多的人能够去旅游景点度假旅行。而许多想参加旅行团摇来摇去方便，我喜欢在我自己的旅行。我喜欢旅行，可以自己不仅因为它的价格要便宜得多，因为它给了很大程度的独立和自由。我独自去旅游，我是自己的老板；可以决定什么时候出发上路，在那里逗留久一点，哪一点可以跳过了一个景点节省精力和时间。我可以随时调整我的计划。相反，在包价旅游你剥夺尽可能自由的一个军事基地。在口哨的声音，你要跳起来从睡，沉重的眼皮，赶去聚会的地方，你正在收集和统计上的教练。在小国旗飘扬的景象，你必须立即把自己远离你希奇的场景和跟踪指导的唯一的兴趣是根据他走过所有风景点严格的时间表，无论天气或你的健康状况。真的，你可能会遇到麻烦如果你单独旅行，比如，得到住宿过夜，找地方吃饭。但没有什么可以是一个人度假旅行主要是为了逃避他的日常生活的约束自由比较重要。

第一天，我们一大早先来到了福建省唯一一所“985”大学——厦门大学。

进入厦门大学，我们先来到了芙蓉湖，湖边种着几棵树，尤其是那棵落地生根的大榕树，已经有七百多年的历史啦！湖面像一面干净的镜子，湖里居住着两只黑天鹅，它们有时在津津有味地吃东西，有时又好像优雅地在跳圆舞曲，还有的时候在窃窃私语，仿佛有颗爱心正对着我们呢！突然，其中一只黑天鹅发出了一声动听的鸣叫声，过了一会儿，另一只也发出了同样的声音。你听，它们时而高亢激昂，时而委婉深沉，时而欢乐奔放，时而浑厚低沉……接下来，我们又去了情人谷、芙蓉餐厅……

午饭后，我们又坐车轮渡来到了厦门最著名的音乐之城——鼓浪屿。

鼓浪屿之所以不叫鼓浪岛，原因在于它的面积只有1。9平方公里，达不到岛的最低2平方公里标准，所以只能称为“屿”。“鼓浪”两字来源是取“鼓浪石”中的两字。让我们印象最深的是：鼓浪屿上的畲族博物馆，虽然不怎么出名，但却让我流连忘返。畲族的男孩在十岁时就要为自己打银器；另外，畲族的女孩要到结婚的时候，她们的爸爸就会提前五年的时间给她绣嫁衣，所以，中国有句民谣：世上只有妈妈好，可畲族的爸爸也很好。

第二天一早我们又驱车经过了蜿蜒曲折的山路来到了厦门附近的永定土楼，有侨福楼，承启楼，五福楼……其中最有名的要数土楼王——承启楼，又名天助楼，据说在造土楼的时候，五十多天没有下雨，所以老百姓们又叫它为天助楼，顾名思义，老天神助。天助楼建于明朝，有300多年的历史，一共有4层楼，它墙厚最厚可达1。8米，越高越薄，每往上一层就减少20厘米，所以最高一层只有1。2米厚，而土楼的最下面一层是由石块和泥土堆砌而成，和其它三层楼不同的是它没有窗户，据说是为了抵御当时的强盗，小偷和野兽。有个传说当时有个小偷进去偷东西三天三夜没有逃出来，可想而知土楼王的防御能力有多强了。土楼的结构很奇怪，从外到里4圈围绕而成，第一圈是用作厨房做饭之用，第二圈是储存粮食，第三圈用来接待客人，第四圈是用来做红白喜事的地方。

我们在回厦门的路上，还顺便参观了另外一个景点——云水谣，风景很美，就是我们时间来不及了，没有细细欣赏就回去了。

总而言之，这次的厦门旅游让我印象深刻，非常开心！

自从我们离开了南普陀以后，就去厦门大学参观。厦门大学很大很大，里面的人很多很多。我们先看了芙蓉湖，这座湖很宽，有二百四十米至二百六十米，也很长，有二百六十米至二百八十米，而且还有很多人在那里照相呢！然后看教室，我数了数里面的椅子，发现是20*2=40把椅子，有的是15*2=30把椅子。再去看学校发展变化展览，我发现了厦门大学建于一九二三年，那时的房子还很古老，然后一步一步的进展，才有今天的厦门大学。

最后，我们去了胡里山炮台。那里的海都一望无际了，还有很多的船和快艇，海面上有很多石头，中间的海水很清，而边上的海水很黄，妈妈曾经对我说过，海水是咸的，人不能喝，因为海里面有很多细菌，海有一个特点，就是湖流动的时候很平静，海流动的时候不平静，都是因为波浪引起的，除了这些，我们还在海浪退下时捡到了一些贝壳，一起检了十几个贝壳，这时已经是中午了，我们才回去。

以后，我长大了，我有时间还要去厦门玩。

Tourism in China

Recent years have seen a tency in China that tourism is growing faster. According to a recent survey made by some experts, about 47% urban resits travel regularly, and 28% rural resits also make their tour across the country. The survey also shows that more people are interested in tourism, and will join the army in the future.

Facing this tency, we can&’t help exploring some underlying factors that are responsible. In the very first place, with the policy of reform and opening up, Chinese people&’s living standard has been greatly improved, and therefore, most of them can afford to travel around. What&’s more, it is believed that people now take a more positive attitude to tourism, and regard it as a life style. In addition, tourism facilities are becoming better and better. For example, transportation develops fast, and many scenic spots are available now.

中国旅游

最近几年，在中国的趋势，旅游业增长较快。根据最近的一项调查显示一些专家认为，约47%城镇居民定期作出旅行，28%的农村居民，也使他们的全国巡演。该调查还显示，更多的人在旅游有兴趣，并会在将来加入军队。

面对这一趋势，我们不能不说是负责任的开发一些潜在因素。在第一个地方，随着改革开放政策，对中国人民的生活水平有了很大提高，因此，他们大多数都不能周游。更重要的是，它相信，人们现在更积极的态度，旅游业，把它作为一种生活方式。此外，旅游设施正在变得越来越好。例如，交通运输发展迅速，许多景点都已经上市。

Hong Kong is one of the two special administrative regions (SARs) of the Peoples Republic of China, along with Macau. Comprising more than 260 islands, the territory is located on the eastern side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the north and facing the South China Sea in the east, west and south.

Hong Kong was a Crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of sovereignty to the Peoples Republic of China in 1997. The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulate that Hong Kong will operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2047, fifty years after the transfer. Under the policy of "one country, two systems", the Central Peoples Government is responsible for the territorys defence and foreign affairs, while Hong Kong maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events.

Hong Kong is frequently described as a city where East meets West, a meeting reflected in its economic infrastructure, education, legal system and street culture. On one street corner, there may be traditional Chinese shops selling Chinese herbal medicine, Buddhist paraphernalia or bowls of synthetic shark fin soup. But around the next, one may find theatres showing the latest Hollywood blockbuster, a British-style pub, a Catholic Church or Ronald McDonald inviting passer-bys to a Big Mac. The territorys official language is Chinese and English; signs in both languages are omnipresent throughout Hong Kong. The government, police and most workplaces and stores conduct business bilingually. British rule may have ended a decade ago but Western culture is deeply ingrained in Hong Kong and coexists seamlessly with traditional philosophy and practices of the Orient.

Hong Kong has an active nightlife centred on two major entertainment districts, Lan Kwai Fong (Central) and Wan Chai. Both areas are frequented by expatriates and locals alike. For a more quiet evening, a trip to Victoria Peak offers a spectacular view of the city. There is also a promenade along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, which is popular among young Chinese couples. Shopping, a form of entertainment for the people of Hong Kong, is even done at nighttime as evident in the Temple Street Night Market where one can also catch free performances of Peking opera.

The citys cosmopolitan flavour can also be seen in the wide variety of cuisines available. While different varieties of Chinese selections, especially seafood, are most popular, there are also many European, American, Japanese, Korean, and other restaurants. Ethnic dishes served in cha chaan teng and dai pai dong are also popular. The people of Hong Kong take their food seriously and many top chefs make their way to the city to show off their talents to these discerning diners.

While Hong Kong is a global centre of trade, perhaps the citys most famous export is its entertainment industry, particularly in the martial arts genre. Several top-notch Hollywood performers originate from Hong Kong cinema -- Bruce Lee, Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li and Leslie Cheung, to name a few. Behind the camera, Hong Kong filmmakers have also struck fortune in Hollywood such as John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Tsui Hark and martial arts choreographers who have designed fight scenes in the Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Back in Hong Kong, several homegrown films have also gained international recognition such as Chungking Express, Infernal Affairs, Shaolin Soccer, Rumble in the Bronx and In the Mood for Love. Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has said hes strongly influenced by Hong Kong action cinema.

The Hong Kong government also supports cultural institutions such as the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Furthermore, the governments Leisure and Cultural Services Department also subsidizes and sponsors the bringing of international performers to Hong Kong.

"厦门，我来了！"这是我到厦门去的第一句话，现在回想起那一幕幕，那快乐的时光又映入眼帘……

去厦门，使我印象最深的就属鼓浪屿啦，谁叫我是个纯属的吃货喃？坐船20分钟左右到达了目的地。首先我们要看最主要的，也是必不可少的一座雕塑：他耸立在山崖上，戴着头盔，披着铠甲，志气昂扬，他是谁？他就是郑！成！功！在厦门有个说法，面对郑成功，万事都成功。甚至还有一条路叫成功大道。

看完郑成功，导游领着我们来到了一个好似花园的地方，里面的人可热情啦！她们把我们领进内屋，每人一个盘子，有芒果干，菠萝干，桂圆干，鱿鱼丝免费不要钱，好吃可以买，因为芒果是鼓浪屿的特产。接下来就是让我最拭目以待的自由活动啦！导游交代好时间，地点就散啦！我拉着妈妈跑来又跑去，还不是为了吃，幸好妈妈也是个纯属的吃货，这些也算不了什么。首先吃的是牛肉粉丝，接着是土司，鱿鱼，肉丸我觉得最好吃的还是土司，排了我半小时的队喃！

厦门鼓浪屿，我还会再来的！

漂流的日子里，心有所依。某年某月的某一天，我在鼓浪屿……

鼓浪屿的山是美丽的。那青山岩石高高耸立，直插云天。鼓浪屿的山，峰岚雄伟，遥相呼应。仿佛是一对对姐妹兄弟相依相偎，说着悄悄话。移步登上高高的山顶，俯视湛蓝的大海，金黄的沙滩，感叹大自然的赐予。

鼓浪屿的海是美丽的。那里的海湛蓝清澈，海天一色，鸥翔鱼游。海面上层层的浪花翻卷着咆哮着，乘船出海，拉网捕鱼，美哉美哉！鱼网中，鱼儿欢快的跳跃着；霸道的螃蟹横行着；机灵的小虾玩蹦蹦床呢。可最后都成了我们的盘中餐。

鼓浪屿的沙滩也是美丽的。米黄的沙粒细细的，徒脚踩在沙子上，给我的小脚做个沙子spa。沙子中还有丰富的宝藏等我发掘，有贝壳，小海螺……

鼓浪屿的博物馆是美丽的。钢琴博物馆内陈列设各类古典名家的钢琴。其中要数贝多芬曾经演奏过的钢琴和《月光曲》琴谱最让我印象深刻了。那乐谱早已有些泛黄，陈旧不堪，可细心的文物修复者经过了多种修复手段，较好的保存了下来。那一架架钢琴诉说着钢琴音乐的发展历程；诉说着一本本乐谱的岁月痕迹；诉说着一个个钢琴家的努力实践的音乐梦想。我仿佛穿越到那些音乐名家的时代，倾听大师们的演奏。

鼓浪屿的山是美丽的，海是美丽的，沙滩也是美丽的，博物馆依旧是美丽的。鼓浪屿的街道摩肩接踵，一派繁荣。我喜欢那家手工香皂店，挑选些自己喜欢的干花，加入香皂中。我喜欢那家甜蜜蜜的烧仙草店，品尝甜蜜蜜的清凉。更喜欢步行街的蜡像馆，一睹名人的风采。

在这样美的风景里，我们摆出各类pose，让爸爸为我们留下珍贵的瞬间。带着满怀的好心情，好记忆，还带回一路的月色。美轮美奂的鼓浪屿，byebye！

今天一大早，我满怀着激动的心情大步走向汽车。你知道我为什么这么兴奋吗？因为我们要去厦门的鼓浪屿。

在路上，我觉得天是那么蓝，树是那么绿，花儿好像在向我挥手，草儿好像在向我点头，一切是那么美好啊！经过十几个小时的行驶，我们终于来到了我梦寐以求的厦门。那时已经已经是早上五点多了，天还是灰蒙蒙的，为了能早点目睹鼓浪屿的美景，我们早早地来到了售票处，谁知那里已经人声鼎沸，人山人海。我迅速地站到了队尾，焦急地等待着，十分钟过去了……半小时过去了，天渐渐亮了起来，售票广场上的人越来越多，终于买到了登船门票。我们一行人急冲冲地跑向码头，搭上了轮船。海面在太阳光的照射下，波光粼粼。过了一会儿，我们下了轮船。“鼓浪屿”三个大字出现在了眼前，我仔细地看了一下地图，发现鼓浪屿其实是一个小岛，虽然区域面积非常小，但是却有很多的旅游景点。如：钢琴博物馆、皓月园、日光岩、沙滩，我最喜欢的要数沙滩了，金色的沙子被海浪冲得很平整。我忍不住脱掉鞋子奔向大海，沙滩上留下了我的小足迹，一股浪潮击来，拍打着我的脚，好像在说：小朋友，跟我来做个游戏吧！”我用自己的小脚丫在沙子里用力地踩出了一个深深的小脚印，然后在旁边刻画出了自己的名字。这时大浪袭来，我的脚印和名字转眼消失了。我不仅感叹道：“多么神奇的大海呀！”

厦门之旅使我非常难忘，因为在那里留下了我的欢声和笑语。

船，在海面上摇摇晃晃的驶向那岛，暖暖的海风吹拂着脸颊，岸边的景物尽收眼底，鼓浪屿犹如是镶嵌在东海之中的一颗璀璨的珍珠，在600米宽的鹭江那边，似一架静静停放着的钢琴。隔岸望着她，她漂在海上，如摇曳在海风里的花朵静静的在那海上开放。几只白鹭在江面上翩翩飞翔鸣叫着，绕着海中央的岩石盘旋。更远处，蓝色的海与湛蓝色的天空交织在一起，幽蓝的海水在风的追逐下起起伏伏,一条条船行驶在平静的海面上。船渐渐靠近鼓浪屿，我仿佛嗅到她的芬芳，感受历史沉淀给它的浓郁气息。鼓浪屿，一个海上花园的传说。

登上鼓浪屿迎面便嗅到了她典雅与温馨的气息。绿色为岛上的主题，首先映入眼帘的满是鲜花、绿树、草坪，丝绒般的绿草青得滴翠，岛上参天的古树比比皆是都有近百岁之龄，每一棵树早已不再是植物，而是一位位历史的见证者。古树下建着的一栋栋各色的别墅，让整座小岛显得高贵、安静，走进岛的中间，到处盛开着各种颜色的花，香味弥漫在每一条小道上，醉人馨香。

曼妙的乐音轻盈的流淌着，尾随着你的脚步， 弥漫在岛屿的角角落落。小巷两旁生意人家就在门口摆放出各色小工艺品，多是珍珠、贝壳、椰壳等原料加工制品，五光十色，琳琅满目。也有不少当地的海鲜、水果叫卖，那些在天津从未见过的叫不上名字的各种漂亮的海鱼、海蟹都养在玻璃缸中，引来不少游客前来拍照，各色水果的价格比天津便宜一半。 讨价还价，也都是满面春风，柔声细语。两旁古老的欧式建筑，斑驳的院墙内显得清幽寂寥。爬满青藤的阳台，鸟儿婉转的啁啾，悠扬悦耳的琴声，似乎在诉说着沧海桑田的变幻。

因为是周末岛上游人众多，却听不到大声喧哗。微微润湿的空气洁净极了，带着海的气息，也带着些许淡淡的怅惘。沿着窄窄的石板路，就这么静静地走着，静静地感受着这份清净和 幽雅。街道两旁的墙头上藤蔓交错，不时有淘气的花木小草从庭院里悄悄地探出头来，那招摇的身姿，那如花的笑靥，叫人砰然心动!高大的榕树枝繁叶茂，像一把撑开的大伞，榕树的根很粗很粗，像一条条蟒蛇盘旋在岩石上，树枝上的气生根像瀑布一样垂挂下来。

夜幕降临，小岛上灯火阑珊 热闹非凡，各种烧烤、鱼丸、各色小吃让人眼花缭乱，边吃边感受着鼓浪屿夜晚的风情，空气里弥漫着各种海鲜、酒、烧烤的味道。鼓浪屿的夜景也是一处美景。宛如一颗璀璨的明星，夜再黑也遮盖不了她的亮丽; 从近处看，如一块翡翠玛瑙，在所有小岛中闪耀着夺目的光辉; 温柔的月光照在身上，她的绿势不可挡。坐在夜色下的海边，吹着海风，一边听着海浪的声音，一边听岛上鼎沸的人群声，鼓浪屿成了一处与世隔绝的欢乐天堂。不远处海水击打着岩石发出清脆的声响，我仿佛听见大自然雄浑的合唱。海风吹着树林发出沙沙清响，犹如柔情少女边舞边唱。 啊，鼓浪屿!你谱写的一首又一首夜曲，在每个游人的梦境中反复吟唱。

鼓浪屿!你的美丽吸引着我、感动着我，让我陶醉......
