Xiamen is the city Chinese people move to when they want to slow down. This subtropical island city on the Fujian coast has palm-lined boulevards, a gentle sea breeze, and a laid-back island culture. Gulangyu, a 10-minute ferry ride from the city, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a car-free island of colonial villas, banyan trees, and piano museums, once home to foreign consulates and wealthy overseas Chinese merchants. Back on the mainland, Zhongshan Road's arcaded shopping street, the Nanputuo Temple, and the seafood stalls of the Eighth Market make Xiamen a city you experience through walking and eating.
