Gulangyu is known for its beaches, a refreshing lack of automobiles and large number of well-preserved buildings built in Chinese and Western styles. Gulangyu is also nicknamed "Piano Island" for the high number of pianos owned by residents. Authorities intend to apply for UNESCO World Heritage listing next year for the island, which is already a 5A scenic spot in China, the highest tourism grade.
