Chronicling the history of Shamian Island in text and pictures

This website is the result of ongoing historical research on what is now known as Shamian Island (沙面岛) in the People's Republic of China, formerly called "Shameen" or "Shamien" by foreign visitors as far back as the mid-1800s.

Our goal is to share historical facts and photos with all interested parties, and in the process to further build our own understanding and appreciation of this singular piece of the shared history of Europe and China.
