It is administered as a sub-provincial city of Fujian province, with an area of and population of 3,531,347 at the 2010 Census. The city's urban area includes the old urban island area and covers all six districts of Xiamen (Huli, Siming, Jimei, Tong'an, Haicang and recently Xiang'an), and has a total urban population of 1,861,289.〔2010 census〕 It also borders Quanzhou to the north and Zhangzhou making this a unique built up area of more than five million people. The Jinmen (Kinmen) Islands administered by the Republic of China are less than away. Xiamen and the surrounding southern Fujian countryside are the ancestral home to large communities of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. The city was a treaty port in the 19th century and one of the four original Special Economic Zones opened to foreign investment and trade when China began economic reforms in the early 1980s. It is endowed with educational and cultural institutions supported by the overseas Chinese diaspora. In 2006, Xiamen was ranked as China's second "most suitable city for living", as well as China's "most romantic leisure city" in 2011. == City name == The area where Xiamen now exists was known as Tong'an () in some Han Dynasty records, though the area was not significantly settled by Han Chinese until several centuries later. Xiamen Island itself was known as Jiahe-Yu () up until Ming Dynasty General Zhou Dexing built the "Xiamen Castle" on the island in 1387 AD to defend against Japanese pirates.〔''Zhongguo Gujin Diming Dacidian'' 中国古今地名大词典, 2855.〕 Originally, the name Xiamen was written in Hokkien: ε̄-mûiⁿ "" (; BP: (unicode:Êbbńg)). This name may refer to the position at the mouth of the Nine Dragon River. The Zhangzhou dialect of Min Nan reads these characters as "ε̄-mûi", the source of the name "Amoy". The dialect is still spoken in the west and southwest of the city. Later, the authorities found "下門" too unrefined and changed the name to the modern toponym "", which has the same pronunciation in Mandarin—not in Min Nan, however—and literally means "the Gate of the Grand Mansion". The name continues to be pronounced (unicode:Ē-mn̂g) and ε̄-mûiⁿ in Min Nan, effectively using the older name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Xiamen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
