Amoy's Amazing Musical Heritage)
Xiamen is famous for both ancient Chinese music (like the 1,000-year-old "Southern Opera") and international music. Gulangyu Island, also called "Piano Islet," has more pianos per capita (1 in 5 families) than any other place in China (perhaps the world!).
Keep your eyes and ears open, because not a month passes without us hosting a visiting orchestra, drama troupe, deng deng (Chinese for "etcetera", get used to it!).

World Choir Olympics 2006! Xiamen hosts t
he 4th World Choir Games from July 15 – 26, 2006. The organizers expect over 20,000 singers in over 400 choirs from all over the world, and I’ve already received many e-mails from participants asking such questions as,
“Does Xiamen have Western food?”
“Can I get money out of Chinese banks?”
“Can we drink the water?”
The answers to those three are Yes, Yes, and … yes (but only boiled or bottled water; otherwise this may be your last Choir Games).
The event was formerly called the Choir Olympics, but the Chinese Ministry of Culture demanded the name be changed to World Choir Games because they said the term “Olympics” is legally protected for the sponsors of the Olympic Games 2008 in China. The organizers assure us, however, that the events contents will not be changed in anyway.
The competitions are in 26 different categories. 1-15 are arranged according to age and voice; 16-26 are arranged according to the choir’s music genre.
