With the lights on as night approaches, the Twin Towers, also known as Xiamen Shimao Cross-Straits Plaza Tower, look like two lit up sails, and with Yanwu Bridge produces a spectacular view of a modern, international coastal city.

In addition, the various services on board the Lu Jiang Zhi Xing, a super luxury cruise yacht, are also eye-catching and impressive. On board the yacht, three decks provide theme-related activities: tea ceremony performance, song and dance entertainment, and flair bartending performances.
