If going as a first-time tourist, you may want to stay on Gulangyu, but the city is compact enough that you can stay anywhere and get around easily.

Sorry, never stayed overnight in KMG, only day transits so no recommendations.
Yea, I read about Gulangyu, but I really don't know much about XMN. I'll be "nearby" since I'll be in HKG. I want to visit for a day or two. How did you get from the airport to the Sheraton? I'm assuming taxi? Does XMN have a subway system? If so, I'm assuming they have their own fare card as well?
