Xiamen, which is actually an island linked to the mainland by

a long cauway of road and railway, is, like Shenzhen, a Special

known as minnanyu, is nearly identical to the dialect spoken in

Taiwan, and the nearest Taiwane-controlled islands - Matsu

and Quemoy (Kinmen) - are just a couple of kilometers (a mile,

or so) off shore from Xiamen.

Historically, Xiamen was established as a major aport in the

Ming Dynasty, in the venteenth century to stem the southward

influence of the Manchu Qing dynasty and restore the Ming rule.

epot, doing a thriving under-the-counter business in silks

with the Portugue, Spanish and Dutch, until a British naval force

stormed ashore after their victory in the first Opium War in 1841

traffic is a sound practically unknown to local islanders, and there

is plenty to e and do on this small island.

ne styles. Strolling along the road one can e islets, bays,

flowers, trees, pavilions and terraces.

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
