Shimao Strait Tower, also known as the Xiamen Twin Towers, is one of the iconic cityscapes of Xiamen. It consists of two separate towers connected by a podium. The exterior resembles a beautiful sail and incorporates the visual elements of the city flower of Xiamen, the Bougainvillea. These super high-rise buildings, each approximately 300 meters tall, serve different functions: one as a luxury hotel and office space, the other as SOHO offices, while the podium is built as an integrated commercial complex for shopping, leisure, entertainment, and dining.
The main feature of the Xiamen Twin Towers is its 55th-floor Cloud Top Xiamen Observation Deck. With a 360-degree panoramic view, you can walk in the sky, gaze at Gulangyu Island, overlook Xiamen University, Shapowei, Wanshi Botanical Garden, and take in the entire charm of the Egret Island. The hall also features coffee seats and sells a variety of specialty souvenirs and crafts, making it a must-visit landmark in Xiamen.
The towers are open all year round, 24 hours a day, with specific opening times for internal attractions detailed in the public notice of the scenic area.
