xiamen
厦门英文介绍
xiamen
is an island city with a rich and dramatic
history,
replete with pirates, rebel
leaders, and european merchants.
now
linked to mainland fujian by a causeway, xiamen
retains a
strong international flavor.
known in the west as amoy, xiamen
has a
long history as a port city, and later became a
center of
british trade in the 19th
century. their foreign settlements, later
taken over by japanese invaders at the
start of world war ii,
were established
on the nearby small gulangyu island. many of
the old treaty-port and colonial
buildings in western styles
survive.
x
iamen was declared one of china’s first special
economic zones in the early
1980’s, taking advantage of the
city’s
heritage as a trading center and the proximity to
taiwan.
today xiamen is one of china’s
most attractive and
best
-
maintained resort
cities.
xiamen was founded
in 1394 at the beginning of the ming
dynasty as a center of defense against
coastal pirates. its
prosperity was due
to its deepwater sheltered harbor, that
supplanted nearby quanzhou, the port
that had been the center
of the
maritime trade with the indies.
in the mid-17th century, xiamen and
gulangyu island became a
stronghold of
zheng chenggong, known in the west as koxinga,
a ming loyalist who held out against
the manchu invaders until
being driven
to taiwan. born in japan to a chinese pirate
father
and a japanese mother, zheng
became allied with holdout ming
princes
in the south who hoped for a restoration. he built
up a
resistance force of some 7,000
junks and a mixed force of
three-
quarters of a million troops and pirates. in 1661
he drove
the dutch from taiwan and set
up another base there, before
his death
in 1662.
after the opium
wars xiamen became one of the first treaty
ports to be opened to foreign trade and
settlement following
the treaty of
nanjing in 1842. gulangyu island was transformed
into an international settlement, where
many victorian and
neoclassical style
buildings still survive. the city’s prosperity
was due both to trade and to wealth
sent back by xiamen’s
substantial
emigrant community of overseas chinese.
prosperity returned to xia
men in the early 1980’s when xiamen
was
designated one of
the four
special economic zones (sezs).

people.

villas stand

vie with one another for beauty. with
