Unlike tropical beach getaways, Gulangyu in Xiamen, China, offers something rarer than resorts and water sports: an authentic coastal experience shaped by heritage, not just scenery.
Car-free lanes, century-old buildings, and a blend of Chinese and Western styles give the islet a quiet, lived-in feel. As a World Cultural Heritage site, it's a place where culture is part of daily life.
