Geography of Xiamen tengda

Eva sole Tpr soles Tengda
Xiamen comprises Xiamen Island (longitude 118° 04'04"E, latitude 24° 26'46" N.), Gulangyu Island, and larger region on the mainland stretching from the left bank of the Jiulong River in the west to the islands of Xiang'an in the north east. This region accounts for four of the municipality's six district governments; Huli District and Siming District (except Gulangyu) are on Xiamen Island.
The Gaoji (Gaoqi-Jimei) Causeway built in 1955--57 transformed Xiamen Island into a peninsula (半岛), and so it was termed in the heady propaganda of the time.
Just west of Xiamen Island are the islands of Quemoy (Kinmen, or Jinmen) and Little Quemoy (Xiao Jinmen), which are governed by the Republic of China based in T'aipei. Note that the T'aipei government too considers these islands to be a part of Fujian Province.
