"Yanwu bridge is a popular bridge for tourists who go to xiamen. It's right behind emall in the Siming district. It's nice to just take a walk here and enjoy the sea breeze and strong breeze. It's a good place to have a coffee while walking around"
Richard A Francisco
"The Yanwu Bridge, located next to the Shimao (World Trade Center) is considered to be a bridge closer to the sea level and consists of three trestle bridges and a landscape platform. The Yanwu Bridge viewing platform is about 824m long, with a total area equivalent to 27 standard basketball courts. Among them, the length of the sea view is about 455m and the width is more than 30m.
It's amazing and spectacular as the view here is stunning and beautiful, with the highrise buildings as backdrop, the sea and overhead "expressways" above you. It offers nice scenery view and is windy.
You can stretch out your hand on the viewing platform as you walk, jog or even run, you can touch the blue sea of Xiamen Bay, close your eyes, and even feel like flying over the sea."
