Located on the southeast coast of China, Xiamen is a tourist city of Fujian Province famous for its attractive seascape. As one of the major seaports since ancient times, it boasts a wide gulf with deep water but without freezing and silting.

The city has been called the Egret Island because of the hundreds of thousands of egrets inhabiting there. This is due to the beautiful natural scenery, the fresh air and the clean environment of the city.

Xiamen has a subtropical monsoon climate with mild weather all year round expect the typhoon months, and is an ideal tourist destination. It is a typical littoral city with abundant tourist attractions such as islands, mountains, temples and parks.
