It was once part of the Silk Road, attracting traders and navigators from all over the world. These historical relics can still be seen in Xiamen today, such as Nanputuo Temple, Hulishan Fort, etc.
Xiamen’s natural scenery is also fascinating. Gulangyu Island, the small island known as the ‘Garden on the Sea’, is a shining pearl of Xiamen. Here, you can stroll among European-style buildings and feel romance and tranquility. Xiamen University, located on Gulangyu Island, is a beautiful campus and is known as ’the most beautiful university’.

Xiamen and Taiwan face each other across the sea. This sense of distance seems to entrust us with more complex emotions. The cultural exchanges and personnel exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have made Xiamen a unique city.
