Li Suyu
Abstract：Xiamen city was opened to the West in 1843. Modern architectures first appeared at the British Settlement, where had been developed into the new urban commercial center before the Kulangsu lnternational Settlement. After that the city began to expand to the southwest seaside area, beyond the traditional old city. By the end of the 19th century, as the foreign settlers had built up large amounts of colonial style buildings there, the British Settlement became one of the two important areas in the city where western architectures were mainly located.
