Gulangsu, Xiamen by wh2021

Gulangsu, Xiamen

A huge contrast of building styles on this island compared with the opposite shore. There are numerous historical buildings on this island and they are all protected. Apart from some special purpose electric cars, there are no other vehicles, even bicycles, allowed on the island. Tourists visiting the island have to walk.
How fascinating. Your great photo prompted me to read some more about the island and its UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status as well as its fascinating history. Thankyou.
