Yanwu Bridge Viewing Platform
演武大桥
A seaside bridge that sits close to the water, with a viewing platform for a close-up look at Gulangyu and the Twin Towers. It is a popular spot in Xiamen for watching the sunset.
Yanwu Bridge connects Yanwu Road in Simin District with the Ring Road. It is about 2.2 km long, and its deck is very close to the sea, earning it a reputation as one of the bridges closest to sea level. A free viewing platform is located in the middle of the bridge, reached by elevator. From the platform, you can see Gulangyu, the Shimao Twin Towers, and the Xiamen University coastline. The sunset at dusk and the bridge's lights at night are especially beautiful. Entry is free. Walk from Xiamen University's Baicheng gate or from Shapowei to reach it. Platform hours are determined on site.
