    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Gulangyu Island, located in the southwest of Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, is an island with an area of less than 2 square kilometers. At the end of the 19th century, Gulangyu became an important window for trade between China and foreign countries, gathering consulates, churches, hospitals, schools and other buildings from more than 20 countries, forming a unique urban style combining Chinese and Western aspects. There are more than 1,000 historical buildings preserved on the island, which is a witness of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. Gulangyu Island is also known as the "piano Island" and has a deep musical tradition. It was added to the World Cultural Heritage List in 2017.
The digital preservation and display of Gulangyu helps mitigate the impact of overtourism on the historic district and raise public awareness of cultural heritage protection. Virtual Tours, 3D modeling and online exhibits provide sustainable, low-impact access for visitors, researchers and students, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Cities and Communities Goal (SDG 11).]]></dcterms:description>
