Xiamen

Xiamen, also known as Amoy, is definitely a very vibrant, affluent and modern city. It has been an important port for centuries and became one of China's earliest Special Economic Zones in the 1980s. Xiamen and the surrounding southern Fujian countryside are the ancestral home to large communities of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. It got an international award in a contest for most livable cities in 2002; neighboring Quanzhou won the following year.

The most important tourist area is Gulangyu Island, a small island as a foreign enclave with consulates and luxurious buildings during the colonial time. Today the island is a quiet area (no motorcycles) and five minutes by ferry from downtown, and still quite scenic.
