Legend has it that in ancient times, Xiamen was a habitat of egrets, hence its nickname as “Island of Egrets”. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xiamen was under the administrative jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture. In the 20th year of the Hongwu reign (1387), construction began on the “Town of Xiamen” (“Xiamen” literally means “the gate of the national edifice”), a name that has since gone down in history. Since the State Council approved the establishment of Special Economic Zone in Xiamen on October 7, 1980, the city has ushered in a period of robust growth. It has been accredited with various laurels, including “National City of Excellence in Civil Ethics” (top position for 4 consecutive terms), “National Model City for Environmental Protection”, “National Sanitary City”, “National Garden City”, “LivCom Award”, “China Habitat Award” and “UN Habitat Scroll of Honor Award”.

Xiamen sets its goal as leading in the task of building a moderately well-off society in all aspects, achieving an annual GDP growth of 8.5%, and catching up with medium-developed countries in terms of per capita GDP and Human Development Index.
