Xiamen (used to be known by Amoy in the West) is a town in a Special Economic Zone by the sea in the Southeast of China. Xiamen is on an island close to the coast. It has a sub tropical weather, a University with a beautiful campus, beach and one of the best quality of life in China. It wasone Of the five treaty ports imposed be the Western powers during the 19th century after the Opium wars, as a consequence the city has several European colonial-style houses, specially on the smaller island of Gulangyu. In Xiamen live 3.5 million people. So much information about it and most of us probably never heard about it.
Xiamen is indeed an very nice town. I went to the beach for the first time since Vietnam! The hostel (Koala's hostel) was fantastic, but a bit far from everything, except the beach, and it had the best cat of the trip so far.
I was there with my Israeli and English travel friends for three days, but I had to leave to Hong Kong to renew my visa, otherwise I would have spent there almost a week, like the other two did.
