Gulang Yu, where I took this picture, is a small island just off the coast at Xiamen. At the end of the 19th century, when China was forced to open itself to foreign countries, many embassies were build on Gulang Yu. Thus the island became one of the most charming places in China.

Gulang Yu (Xiamen), Fujian Province. April 2004.
