Cloud Top Xiamen Observation Deck is on the top floor of the Shimao Strait Mansion (commonly called the 'Twin Towers') in Simin District. It is Xiamen's highest indoor viewing platform. Through floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, you can look down on Gulangyu, Yanwu Bridge, Xiamen University, and the coastline of the Ring Road. The views are excellent on clear days, and the night view is equally striking. Tickets cost about 100 to 150 yuan, and sunset slots are the most popular. The deck sits at the north end of Yanwu Bridge and can be reached on foot from Shapowei and Xiamen University. On hazy or rainy days, consider rescheduling.
