Scenery of Gulangyu island in Xiamen

For the city of Xiamen in East China's Fujian province, this year is one of "double happiness", as it will host the BRICS Summit less than two months after its Gulangyu Island was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. 

Known in the local dialect as Kulangsu, the 1.88-square-kilometer islet, with giant banyan trees shading the graceful roofs of European-style mansions, is the destination of 50,000 visitors every day.

Let's take a look at the beautiful island.
