Xiamen, the Pearl on the Sea, is unique in combining natural beauty with a fascinating historical narrative. Now a new Xiamen is springing up on old foundations, blending modern prosperity with historical charm.

With warm beaches, winding old lanes around old European style mansions and a modern cityline, Xiamen is a unique destination in a country of surprises.

Eric Abraham's volume reveals Xiamen through witty, insightful text and stunning photography. This is the ideal companion for any visitor to this city.

Review

"Xiamen is a beautiful tourist resort where mountainous landscapes and sea scenes blend with the cityscape, Chinese and foreign cultures co-exist, and ancient traditions are fused with modern styles. This book provides vivid descriptions and comprehensive information for tourists.

On behalf of the Xiamen Tourism Bureau I hereby extend my heartfelt thanks to all international friends who support Xiamen. I hope that through the book, more and more foreign friends will be acquainted with Xiamen, a brilliant pearl full of the charm characteristic of China's southern coast."
Guo Hengming, President of Xiamen Tourism Bureau
