My name is Qin Lan. My home town is in Gulangyu Island. Do you know Gulangyu Island? It is in Xiamen. Gulangyu Island is a small place, but it is very nice and clean. There are no cars, no buses and no bikes. People only walk. So it is very quiet.
Our house is in the middle of Gulangyu Island. It is near the sea. Behind our house, there is a big old tree. My grandfather tells me that the tree is very, very old. There are many birds in the tree. We call it "bird tree". The sea is big and blue. There are a lot of fish in the sea. After school, I go there and watch fish swimming with my friends. It is very interesting. I like fish and I also like watching fish swimming.
