Xiamen

Xiamen extends across six districts on the southeastern coast of China, facing Taiwan across the strait with numerous islands and coastal features.

The city transformed from a Ming Dynasty fortress in 1387 to become one of China's first five treaty ports after the First Opium War.

The vehicle-free Gulangyu Island contains colonial buildings and traditional Fujian architecture, leading to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The municipal transportation system includes rapid bus transit, a modern metro network, and Gaoqi International Airport for domestic and international flights.

Xiamen's port ranks as China's seventh-largest container facility, processing millions of cargo units through its deep-water terminals and advanced facilities.
