The observation deck on top of the twin towers has a nice view and you can overlook the entire Xiamen University from here. The ticket price is 180.
On the way up in the elevator, you can see three words in Minnan dialect: "qing cai la" - whatever; "bu zhi ying" is not a standard transliteration, in fact, the correct pronunciation should be "en zai ya" - meaning I don't know; "li gong xiami" - meaning what are you talking about (I learned the above from my classmates in Xiamen).
I played a VR game here - Flying over the Twin Towers. I can only say that the ticket was not worth it (spreading hands). The painting was a bit rough, not realistic enough, and not exciting enough.
There is a rooftop above the observation deck, which is themed on love and filled with cheesy love words that are not too corny.
Xiamen Twin Towers is also a good place for tourists to look down from the clouds. The design style of the twin towers reflects the city's young, moderate and modern urban personality, highlighting the unique concept of iconic landscape design. It is said that when the Xiamen Twin Towers were built, it took 2 and a half years to build at a rate of one floor every 4 days, which shows the pride of showing the world the achievements of their economic development at that time. There is a pedestrian bridge on the top of the Xiamen Twin Towers. Standing here, you can overlook the most prosperous scene. There are the most high-end stores in the twin towers, selling branded goods, of course, the prices are also the highest. The tower is the largest classical symphony hall in Southeast Asia, the Dewan Classical Symphony Hall.
To be honest, Xiamen Twin Towers left me a little disappointed...
It's actually not bad during the day, as long as you choose a good day, find a clear and foggy time to watch, it's still pretty good. Because of Xiamen's unique orange color, it adds a lot of vitality to the overall feeling.
But when I looked at it at night, it was really hard to describe. It was not as prosperous as I imagined. Walking around the hall, almost half of the area below was dark. Even if it was not the sea, there were not so many lights.
Well... it's a bit disappointing to see it from upstairs. It would be better to take a panoramic photo of the Twin Towers from below.
Xiamen Shimao Straits Tower is also known as the Twin Towers. The first time I saw the Twin Towers was on the wall of Hulishan Fort. I thought the shape was very beautiful, like the two sails of a sailboat. Because my relatives in Xiamen live in the nearby Longqinyuan community, after dinner, I walked around the neighborhood and the observation deck and admired the Twin Towers up close.
It is a landmark building in Xiamen. Tourists who come to Xiamen will come here to check in and take photos.
Xiamen's iconic buildings can be seen in many scenic spots
It is a landmark building in Xiamen and can be seen from the plane. It is very beautiful when it is lit up at night. The serviced apartments inside are also very nice. I think it is the first choice for staying in Xiamen.
You can overlook the gate of the building, and it is a landmark building, it is worth a visit
The official name of Xiamen Twin Towers is Shimao Straits Towers. It is a landmark building in Xiamen. It looks like two sails. It looks spectacular during the day and very beautiful when the colorful lights are lit at night.
Xiamen Twin Towers is one of the landmarks of Xiamen. It is two independent towers connected by a podium. The independent towers look like two huge sailing ships, also known as Twin Towers. The building is about 300 meters high. One is used as a five-star hotel and top office building, and the other is used as an office building. The "twin towers" Shimao Straits Building has become a new landmark in Xiamen.
I like the glass plank road outside.
It is also a major feature of the Twin Towers.
Xiamen Twin Towers is not far from the seaside
It is also the CBD area, very suitable for viewing from a distance
In addition to shopping at Shimao Department Store, you can also experience the Cloud Xiamen sightseeing on the top floor, overlooking the scenery of Xiamen. In addition, the hotel here is also a good choice. The sea view room can see the entire Gulangyu Island
I, I, I will go to the tower to see the panoramic view next time I go~~~~~~~
If you like exciting activities, you can go to the Twin Towers to experience walking in the clouds. I think it’s pretty good.
I saw the Twin Towers from a distance but didn't go in. They are considered to be the landmark buildings in Xiamen. You can see them in Maojie and Shapowei.
When I arrived at the Petronas Twin Towers, I asked about the tickets. It cost 280 yuan per person for the Cloud Walk (I remember it was said 180 yuan online in advance, so expensive). Also, I had to wait in line for half an hour, and it was almost dark, so I gave up.
There is a viewing platform on the twin towers, next to the Yanwu Observation Deck. You need to make a reservation one day in advance and enter the park with a QR code sent by SMS.
It's similar to a general shopping mall, no special features, the prices are expensive, not worth it
Although I really wanted to go, it takes 120 to get to the observation deck, so my friends gave up decisively and I had to give up too. Xiamen's Twin Towers are considered Xiamen's landmark buildings.
It's very spectacular and high. It is said that you can go up to experience the aerial plank road, which looks very exciting, but a little expensive
It's a good night view. I didn't go in, but just watched from a distance.
The Twin Towers feel similar to the Oriental Pearl Tower, and you can see the whole of Xiamen. We only went to the 55th floor, and there is another 58th floor, which costs more than 100 yuan, the same ticket for adults and children. There is a mango shop on the 55th floor that is very yellow. There will be signs when you come down from the Twin Towers, and the exit is on the fourth floor. In fact, there is a shopping mall on the fourth floor, and there are many food inside.
About the 55th floor observation deck: In addition to overlooking Xiamen from the sky, the observation deck will have different exhibitions at different times.
About the skywalk on the 58th floor: If you just spend a hundred yuan to go to the observation deck, it feels like it’s not worth it. Young people should try a game of rowing since they are here. After visiting the 55th floor, walk three floors to the 58th floor. The official named the 58th floor "Love Rooftop" (in fact, there is a shelf with the words Love Rooftop written on it). When you are walking in the sky, the staff will help you protect yourself and tie you with a chain and the other end to the shelf. You can bring your mobile phone to take pictures. The phone should be put into the bag they provide and tied to your hand to prevent it from falling. The time you stay up there is ten minutes. Only six or eight people can go up at a time. If there are many people, you have to wait in line.
It is also called Clouds in Xiamen. You can walk on the top floor. The ticket price seems to be around 200. It’s around 7:00 pm. It’s great to see the sunset. The night view of the Twin Towers is also beautiful, and the LED lights are constantly changing.
It is really recommended. You can overlook the whole Xiamen, facing the sea, and Gulangyu Island is opposite.
Xiamen's Twin Towers are now one of Xiamen's iconic urban landscapes. The two towers are independent and look a bit like sailboats from the outside. This is a good place for people to overlook Xiamen from the clouds. Even if you come here for more than ten minutes at night, it is still very beautiful to just appreciate the beautiful night view of Xiamen.
The World Trade Center Cloud Observation Deck is located on the 55th floor of Tower B of the World Trade Center Twin Towers. It overlooks the entire Xiamen with a 360-degree view of the city and the sea. It is particularly beautiful.
There is also a small piece of glass that you can stand on. I am not afraid of heights so I didn't feel anything, but my mother didn't dare to get close to it at all.
The photos taken are also very artistic...
The cost to go to the 55th floor of the building is 100 yuan, plus 20 yuan to go to the 58th floor where there is a love terrace or something like that, and the glass plank road costs another 100 yuan.
Overall it's good, it's enough to take good pictures
Tips: The price list of the Twin Towers is as follows:
120 yuan 55F
140 yuan 55F+58F (Love Terrace)
180 yuan 55F+58F (Love Terrace)+Skywalk
You can buy tickets online, but you need to buy them one day in advance (keywords: Petronas Twin Towers Observation Deck), and you can also experience high-altitude walking.
The Twin Towers are not far from Cat Street, and it only takes a few minutes to get there by navigation. I am a girl who likes heights and excitement, so the Twin Towers is a place I love very much. I have finally waited for it, and finally have the opportunity to challenge your height~
Regarding the tickets for the Twin Towers, you can only enjoy the cloud walk on the top floor if you choose the 180 ticket. Otherwise, you have to spend money to buy tickets separately, which is not cost-effective.
It is fully transparent at 60 degrees, and you can clearly see the scenery on the other side. The wind on the top floor is really strong, so strong that it feels like it is going to blow me down. Although I am not thin, I almost felt like I was blown away.
One of Xiamen's landmark buildings. 300 meters high. The sightseeing hall and open-air terrace we are going to are in Tower B, so don't go the wrong way! Tickets can be purchased online, which is very convenient. Tickets for the 55th floor are 120 yuan, and tickets for the 55th + 58th floors are 140 yuan. The skywalk is charged separately. The high-speed elevator is stable and quiet. At a speed of 6 meters per second, it only takes 45 seconds to reach the sightseeing hall on the 55th floor. The 360° transparent viewing hall, through the window, you can see the whole city. You have to climb up the remaining floors by yourself. The 58th floor is an open-air terrace, where you can overlook the entire Xiamen and the Taiwan Strait. The skywalk on the 58th floor is completely transparent, without guardrails or handrails, and is thrilling and exciting. I didn't go, please forgive me for being timid.
The open-air terrace on the 58th floor has a great view. The wind was so strong that my hat flew off. Fortunately, I was quick to act, otherwise... I suggest that fairies should not wear skirts. The sky is as beautiful as in Miyazaki's cartoons.
During the day, the Twin Towers really look like a pair of scissors, which are highly disliked. However, at night, they are decorated with windows that light up, and look like a pair of slightly naughty and sexy bunny ears of a bunny girl. Perhaps, the light and warmth of home can really melt the sharp coldness of steel and concrete.
When I went there, I stayed on the 25th floor of Building B of the Twin Towers. The night view was good and the service was first-class. It was 375 yuan for a double room and 408 yuan for one night on Meituan orders.
Xiamen Twin Towers can be said to be a symbol of Xiamen's rapid development
When it comes to the Twin Towers, the one that impressed me the most is the Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur in the movie “Twins” starring TWINS. Now many cities in China also have their own Twin Towers.
Xiamen's Twin Towers are one of the city's iconic landscapes. At first glance, their appearance resembles a sailboat, and is somewhat similar to the Burj Al Arab in Dubai. It is said that the design team behind them is the same company that designed the Dubai Hotel.
The famous World Trade International Twin Towers glass plank road, various photo tickets are very expensive, 180 per person, the plank road lasts 8 minutes
The Twin Towers, some people say it looks like a pair of scissors, some say it looks like a sail, and some say it looks like a bunny girl's ears. However, no matter what it looks like, I like it.
The world's tallest twin towers, viewed from Xiamen University, just happened to be lit up at night, which felt pretty good. It is better to view from a distance than up close, and the night view is more beautiful than during the day.
