Located in Xiamen, Fujian Province, Xiamen University is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful university campuses in China.

As one of China’s leading universities, Xiamen University was selected as a key institution under China’s “211 Project” and “985 Project”, national initiatives aimed at developing world-class universities and advanced research capabilities. Over the past century, it has cultivated numerous outstanding talents and made important contributions to China’s education and scientific development.
Beyond its academic reputation, Xiamen University has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Xiamen because of its beautiful architecture, peaceful environment, and unique seaside location.
