China's most beautiful seaside destinations for summer (8)

Gulangyu Beach, Xiamen
Gulangyu is a tourist island off the southeast coast of Siming district, Xiamen, Fujian province in southeast China.

Just a few minutes from Xiamen, Gulangyu Island is a world apart, not just for its smaller buildings and heavy tree-cover, but also for its motor vehicle ban, which maintains the island's quiet, neighborhood atmosphere. Much of what makes the island unique comes from its history as a western settlement, one which has left the island with many churches, an array of international architecture and an immense number of pianos. Exploring the narrow streets, shops and local wares is also an obvious part of the island's charm. Gangzaihou Beach is on a southwestern stretch of the island, and is one of the island's most popular.
