On this Day in Chinese History; 29 July

This day, 29 July, in 1985, the State Council approved the expansion of the scope of the Xiamen Special Economic Zone to cover the entirety of Xiamen Island and the island of Gulangyu. While the former constitutes the core of the Xiamen Special Economic Development Zone realised in 1980, the latter is a 5A Tourist Attraction which also became China’s 52nd World Heritage Site in 2017.
