Xiamen is a garden on the sea, a romantic and artistic coastal city. Key attractions include Gulangyu Island (a UNESCO World Heritage site, with diverse international architecture, the Island of Pianos, and leisurely walks through its alleys), Xiamen University (recognised as China's most beautiful university, featuring the Furong Tunnel murals), the Island Ring Road (ideal for cycling with sea views), and Zengcuo'an (an artistic fishing village known for its vibrant food scene). Local delicacies include rich and savoury satay noodles, crispy-on-the-outside-tender-on-the-inside oyster omelette, sweet peanut soup, the unique earthworm jelly, and an array of seafood, all complemented by Gulangyu Island pastries, showcasing the flavours of southern Fujian and the coast.
