About Xiamen厦门英文介绍

Xiamen is an island city with a rich and dramatic history, replete with pirates, rebel

leaders, and European merchants. Now linked to mainland Fujian by a cauway, Xiamen

retains a strong international flavor. Known in the West as Amoy, Xiamen has a long

history as a port city, and later became a center of British trade in the 19th century. Their

foreign ttlements, later taken over by Japane invaders at the start of World War II,

were established on the nearby small Gulangyu Island. Many of the old treaty-port and

colonial buildings in Western styles survive. Xiamen was declared one of China’s first

Special Economic Zones in the early 1980’s, taking advantage of the city’s heritage as a

trading center and the proximity to Taiwan. Today Xiamen is one of China’s most

attractive and best-maintained resort cities.

Xiamen was founded in 1394 at the beginning of the Ming dynasty as a center of defen

against coastal pirates. Its prosperity was due to its deepwater sheltered harbor, that

supplanted nearby Quanzhou, the port that had been the center of the maritime trade with

the Indies.

In the mid-17th century, Xiamen and Gulangyu Island became a stronghold of Zheng Chenggong,

known in the West as Koxinga, a Ming loyalist who held out against the Manchu invaders until

being driven to Taiwan. Born in Japan to a Chine pirate father and a Japane mother, Zheng

became allied with holdout Ming princes in the south who hoped for a restoration. He built up a

resistance force of some 7,000 junks and a mixed force of three-quarters of a million troops and

pirates. In 1661 he drove the Dutch from Taiwan and t up another ba there, before his death in

1662.

After the Opium Wars Xiamen became one of the first treaty ports to be opened to foreign trade

and ttlement following the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842. Gulangyu Island was transformed into an

international ttlement, where many Victorian and Neoclassical style buildings still survive. The

city’s prosperity was due both to trade and to wealth nt back by Xiamen’s substantial emigrant

community of overas Chine.

Prosperity returned to Xiamen in the early 1980’s when Xiamen was designated one of the four

Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
