Very nice place to live, but nothing much of interest for a tourist; nevertheless, the garden-like Xiamen University campus and, the quaint island-village of Gulangyu attract a constant flow of tourists.

Very expensive for living cost, Xiamen city is one of most beautiful city surrounding by ocean with good schools / blue sky / clean streets & bays.Low salary for workers ! Why Xiamen housing price so expensive ? The main reasons : 1. China is 1.4 billion population,5% citizens are millionaire who prefer to living in a warm and nice city in south of China. North of China is very cold in winter,a lots aged people can not stand any more,they going to run away. If u unaffordable to buy houses & condos , other rich people will buy them with full payment,without mortgage loan. 2. Fujian province's businessmen are doing biz.all over the world,many of them are running biz. in Shanghai / Beijing / Guangzhou / Shenzen ...and USA / Japan / Australia / Malaysia / Indonesia / Cambodia / Phillipines / South Africa and EU .They think who have ability to buy a big house / compartment in Xiamen , gain face and a kind of investment.
