About Xiamen
Gulangyu Island's colonial architecture preserves early 20th-century piano culture when foreign traders established this musical enclave—today it's a car-free island of winding lanes between grand villas. The main city faces Taiwan across narrow strait waters, while seafood dining culture dominates waterfront activity. Xiamen balances colonial heritage with contemporary prosperity.
