The core charm of Xiamen is undoubtedly the world cultural heritage - Gulangyu Island. Facing the center of Xiamen across the Lujiang River, this small island is closed to motorized vehicles and is well preserved with a large number of historical buildings of different Chinese and foreign styles. Walking here, it is like stepping into a tranquil "Museum of International Architecture", and the melodious sound of the piano on the island has earned it the reputation of "Piano Island".
