Sunlight Rock, also known as "Yan Zai Shan" or "Huang Yan," is said to have been named "Sunlight Rock" by Zheng Chenggong in 1641. It is said that he saw the scenery here surpassing the Mount Nikko in Japan and split the character "Huang" into two to name it "Sunlight Rock". As you enter the mountain gate and look up at the cliff above, you will see three inscriptions: "Heavenly Winds and Ocean Waves", "Gulangyu's Top Cave", and "Lujiang's Number One". Surprisingly, these three inscriptions were respectively carved by three different individuals: "Gulangyu's Top Cave" was inscribed in 1573 by Ding Yizhong, the supervisor of Quanzhou Prefecture, making it the oldest inscription on Gulangyu Island; "Lujiang's Number One" was inscribed by Lin Zhen, a successful candidate in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty; and "Heavenly Winds and Ocean Waves" was inscribed by Xu Shiying, the Fujian Inspector General in 1915, during the Republic of China era. These three inscriptions on a huge rock have spanned three dynasties! The top of Sunlight Rock is the highest point on Gulangyu Island. Standing here, you can enjoy the surrounding islands and sea views. Feeling the sea breeze and taking a photo with your hair flying is a great choice.

[Location] No. 300 Longtou Road, right next to Gulangyu Market, with a prominent storefront and a distinct local flavor in the decoration.
[Service] The waiters are very enthusiastic, and they recommend signature dishes and the most well-received ones. The serving speed is also decent.
[Dishes] The seafood in the Hai Lao San Xian (Mixed Seafood) is really fresh. I've had a lot of seafood before, but it's still the most delicious by the seaside~ The meat of the baby squid is fresh and delicious, without any sandy texture. The ginger duck and fried crab are also very tasty.
