What is the link between Xiamen and the “Promenade des Anglais” ? UNESCO and the experience of Xiamen.
Indeed, Xiamen is the home of Gulangyu where nearly 900 buildings with a mix of architecture of Asian and Western influence are classified and protected.
Thanks to this diversity, Gulangyu entered the list of the UNESCO World Heritage in 2017.
Therefore, Nice and Xiamen will start an exchange of good practices about patrimony but also in the field of the management of tourists flows.
The exchanges between the two cities started in 1982 and the partnership between their universities is even anterior as started 40 years ago.
President XI Jinping first visited Nice in 1985 when he was Vice-Mayor of Xiamen.
