Gulangyu Island
Gulangyu faces Xiamen across the sea. Its original name was Yuanshazhou (Round Sandbank). Waves striking the sea caves sounded like drums, so during the Ming dynasty it was renamed Gulangyu, meaning "Drum Wave Island". The island's human landscape is its greatest attraction. The villas that have survived intact are mainly in styles from the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia, giving the island a distinct Southeast Asian flavour. There are also 13 former foreign consulates, and the British Consulate you see as you disembark is the first you will notice, which is why the island is known as the "Exhibition of Architecture from Many Nations". In addition, almost everyone on the island seems to be musical, and many members of China's largest symphony orchestra came from here. In July 2017, Gulangyu was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Free admission to the island; the five-attraction combo ticket is ¥110 (includes Sunlight Rock, Haoyue Garden, Shuzhuang Garden, Organ Museum and International Engraving Museum) · 1–2 days
Jimei School Village
Jimei School Village was founded under the personal guidance of Mr Tan Kah Kee (陈嘉庚). Its architecture blends Chinese and Western styles and reflects the typical architecture of the Minnan overseas Chinese hometowns. In particular, the Daonan Building of Jimei High School, the Nanxun Building of Jimei Overseas Chinese School and the teaching building of Jimei Navigation College, some soaring majestically and others seemingly poised to take flight, are full of individuality.
