Gulangyu
This island that is tiny in size, but huge in attraction reigns as the superstar of Xiamen's tourism industry. Accessible only by ferry, its winding cobblestone streets wander past endless rows of old colonial buildings canopied by lush green trees, creating the kind of idealistic setting that even the folks at Disney cannot recreate. A ban on cars heightens its impossible charm, making the pedestrian king of the streets. Sunlight Rock, Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall, the intoxicatingly scenic Shuzhuang Garden and the Xiamen Museum are just a few of its many attractions. The island also enjoys national recognition for its devotion to music, and proof of this can be heard at the pragmatically named Music Hall of Gulang Island. Lodging options are limited, but the Gulangyu Guesthouse rates as a tourist favorite.Attractions
