Xiamen University is the first university in China to be founded by an overseas Chinese businessman. Located at the foot of green mountains and facing the blue ocean, the university is justly famous for its rolling green campus, which includes the beautiful Furong (Lotus) Lake. Nearby the campus is the South Putuo Temple which was established in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and is now a major training center for Buddhist monks. [China.org.cn/Photo by Han Bo]
