An island in Xiamen in the southern part of Fujian Province in southeastern China. Population 16,376 (2000). Also known as Gulangyu.

This is where Koxinga established his naval base at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Koxinga Memorial Hall stands at the foot of Sunlight Rock. In 1903, an international settlement was established and it became a villa area for foreigners, but after the establishment of the People's Republic, it became a resort and residential area for Chinese people. It is connected to Xiamen by a large bridge.
