Kulangsu Island (or, Gulangyu) is a tiny island off the city of Xiamen in Fujian province. In 1903CE, the island was established as an international settlement, transforming it into a centre of cultural fusion for Sino-foreign exchanges. Through the efforts of local Chinese, returned overseas Chinese from Southeast and East Asia, as well as foreign residents from many countries, the settlement gained distinct characteristics, especially manifested in the architecture of its 931 historical buildings. These buildings reflect a mix of different architectural styles, including the Traditional Southern Fujian Style, Western Classical Revival Style, and Veranda Colonial Style. Also witnessed here is the evolution of a new architectural movement, the Amoy Deco Style, the result of a synthesis between the Modernist Style of the early-20th century CE and Art Deco.
