Xiamen is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in the Fujian province. Less urbanized than its big sister Fuzhou, Xiamen has preserved its particularism and all its character. The old Amoy quickly became a major commercial port city. In 1842, the Nanjing Treaty made Xiamen one of the five cities open to foreigners. In 1980, it became a special economic zone. Today still relatively unknown to Western tourists, Xiamen allows to discover another face of cities in the south of the country.Despite its rapid development, Xiamen seems to be steeped in time and inspires tranquillity for visitors to the crossing. Lovers of history and architecture will certainly be seduced by the grace of the island of Gulangyu. This islet, nestled in the heart of a tropical vegetation, reflects Xiamen's colonial past. Its huge buildings, its lanes forbidden to traffic make Gulangyu a haven of peace. Rich in history, flavours and clean air, Xiamen is able to play its charms to enchant the traveler.
