China - Urbanism Gulang Island - Skyline

Looking down on Gulang Yu Island, and in the background, the city of Xiamen. By the 1880s, Gulang Island was a colonial haven. It boasted its own English newspaper, church, hospital, telegraphy, library, and several consulates. In 1903, the island was officially recognized as an Foreign Settlement, with its own municipal government and its own Sikh police force. Today, Gulang Island is a mass of Chinese domestic tourists and is best avoided during peak seasons. (Photo by Ryan Pyle/Corbis via Getty Images)
