The livable, lovable city of Xiamen teems with university students buzzing amid Buddhist temples, art galleries and beautiful parks. The city is actually comprised of islands; one of which, Gulangyu, is a peaceful bohemian oasis that's completely vehicle-free. Nibble on some glass noodles or juicy dumplings while perusing shops stuffed with antiques, delicate beads or ceramics.

Kulangsu Wonder Food Museum offers visitors a kitsch, kooky and in-depth look at the city’s unique food culture with larger-than-life displays of Xiamen dishes.

I visited with a group and came away with a very good overview of the history of Xiamen and some wider insides into China. If you like to just browse on your own, this might be a little dull, but our guide was very good at pointing out the best bits and moving along before anyone got bored. She made it an excellent visit!

This is the first time I've visited a museum that houses pianos! The Piano Museum is an attraction located on Gulangyu island. The pianos in the museum all belong to a solo collector,Hu Youyi, who loved pianos so much that he collected them from all over the world. There are two quaint little pianos that were built just for kids under 10 years old! The star piece of the museum is a gorgeous harpsichord that he purchased from Australia. There are about 100 over pianos on display in two buildings. It's worth the visit to see the effort, passion and finances of one man's collection, even though you may not be interested in pianos!
