Xiamen
Xiamen, considered one of the most pleasant cities in China, is today a symbol of China's economic success. Formerly called Amoy, the town is formed by Xiamen Island, Gulangyu Island, and the north bank of the Jiulongjiang River. Today's visitors to Xiamen come mainly as gateways to the Hakka region, including visiting the famous "tulous" round houses, and visiting Gulangyu Island. The city of Xiamen itself remains pleasant, with an old city still existing with some buildings dating from the period of European presence.
