China's first piano museum has opened on Gulangyu, an island in the city of Xiamen in east China's Fujian Province.

The museum, covering an area of 450 square meters, has 30 famous-brand pianos from Britain, France, the United States, Austria and Australia. They are all over 100 years old.

All the pianos were collected by Hu Youyi, who was born in Gulangyu and now lives in Australia.

According to an agreement between Hu and the Gulangyu district government, the pianos will be on show for 10 years in the museum and then be donated to the local government.

Gulangyu is dubbed "Piano Island" because its 17,800 permanent residents own 620 pianos.
