Walking About Gulang Islet
A 1.77 sq km speck of land 500 m off the coast of Xiamen, a great place to spend a lazy day walking about.

Xiamen is a microcosm of the rest of China. There is rich Xiamen, and not so rich. There are old parts and new construction everywhere. There are quaint little alley restaurants and MacDonald's. They are rapidly developing while preserving remnants of their colonial past. In short, Xiamen is the embodiment of all the promise and contradictions facing modern Chinese cities.
