Xiamen is a sub-provincial city in Fujian province, a special economic zone, and an important central city along the southeastern coast of China, serving as a major port and a renowned scenic tourist destination.
Xiamen is an ancient city with a long and varied history. One of China's five special economic zones, Xiamen was once called "Ludao", meaning Egret Island, as many birds of that species used to inhabit the area.
Xiamen has received a number of honors, such as National Civilized City, National Model City in Business Environment, and National Ecological Garden City.
As Xiamen continues to enhance its educational resources and international business environment, Achieve Xiamen International School (AXIS) has emerged as a key pillar of its international talent strategy.
China has decided to extend its visa waiver policy to ordinary passport holders from Canada and the United Kingdom starting from Feb 17.
