Gulangyu, a small island off the coast of Xiamen, China's southern Fujian province, has been a magnet for young backpackers for its alluring local life and romantic western style architecture. Besides strolling up and down its narrow alleys or sandy beaches, the second most popular way to enjoy a stay is to hit the numerous boutique stores scattered across the island. From vintage airplane toy models to postcards made from your own photos, the stores never stop surprising visitors. [Photo:CRIENGLISH.com]
