Gulei Town is located in Gu Lei Peninsula at the southern tip of Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. It faces the sea on three sides and is connected with Beiban Village in Du Xun Town on the north. The jurisdiction covers the whole Gu Lei Peninsula and its adjacent waters, islands and reefs. The north-south trend of the peninsula extends to the sea in a strip shape with a length of 17? 3 kilometers, 3 ~ 4 kilometers wide from east to west (only 300 meters at the narrowest point), covering an area of 40 square kilometers. Most of them are beaches, sand dunes and sandy land. In the south, there are Pangjianshan Mountain (78 meters above sea level), North Peak of Gulei Mountain (also known as Daiziling, 270 meters above sea level), Bijiashan Mountain (0/99 meters above sea level) and South Peak of Gulei Mountain (also known as Xiaxia? Ridge, elevation 100 m), Guleitou Mountain (elevation 149 m). Gulei Mountain is the reason why Gu Lei got its name. According to the records of the old county annals, the original Gulei Mountain beat the drums on Leishan Mountain, which was named after "when the tide came, it sounded like a drum thunder". There is another saying, too, because Gulei Mountain stands high on the seashore and looks like a snail, so it is called a high snail and elegant as Gu Lei.
