With the national policy slope to accelerate the development of the western bank of the Taiwan Strait and the upcoming Shanghai World Expo, Xiamen is faced with tremendous opportunity to develop.

"The flat of the palm is the sea and Xiamen Island will join the other four districts to become the five fingers," he said.
