Did you know? Xiamen

Xiamen was one of China's first Special Economic Zones, established in 1980, transforming it into a modern coastal city while preserving its colonial heritage.

The city is built on an island separated from mainland China by the Taiwan Strait, just 180 km from Taiwan, making it geographically and culturally unique.

Gulangyu Island, Xiamen's car-free pedestrian island, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its Art Deco architecture and piano culture—locals call it the 'Piano Island'.

Xiamen's local dialect, Hokkien (閩南語), is widely spoken alongside Mandarin and shares linguistic roots with Taiwanese.

The city is home to Xiamen University, one of China's most prestigious institutions, with a stunning campus overlooking the sea that's open to public visits.

Xiamen is a major hub for oolong tea trade, particularly from nearby Wuyi Mountains, and the city's tea culture runs deep in daily life.
