By the river, at the sea, Meizhou Island of Putian is a shining pearl between the mountains and the sea.

在水之湄，在海之洲。莆田湄洲岛，一颗闪耀于山海间的明珠。

Here there are mountains in the water, seas outside the mountains, the mountains and the sea are connected, and the blue sea, golden sand, green forest, strange stones and temples are integrated.

这里水中有山，山外有海，山海相连，融碧海、金沙、绿林、奇石、庙宇于一体。

这里妈祖文化气息浓厚，是妈祖祖庙的所在地，是妈祖文化的发祥地……

When I came to Meizhou Island, what I felt most was people's awe of the sea.

来到湄洲岛，感受最深的，便是这里人们对大海的那份敬畏。
