The Shinan district of Qingdao city – located in East China's Shandong province – has been dubbed  an ideal and tranquil place to enjoy the gentle winds and the picturesque scenery during the passing parade of the seasons.

But from an entirely different perspective – looking down from the sky – the city you know assumes an entirely different, racier, personality.

Diamond Club offers fantasy views

The city's most luxurious air club – the Diamond Club, covering 1,500 square meters – offers stunning ocean views of the city at daytime and a fantasy panorama of lights at nighttime, providing viewers with the ultimate feeling of taking in beauty while floating above the clouds.

The Haitian Center itself boasts an art-related business center for corporate annual meetings and business forums and has become a new hot spot in Qingdao.

City's grand sightseeing platform

The sightseeing platform at the center is equipped with an exclusive direct elevator, which at a speed of 8 m/s can go from bottom to the very top in just 45 seconds. It's perfect for glorious urban sightseeing, as a breathtaking high-altitude experience in itself and for other leisure and entertainment functions.

For most, it is quite simply an awe-inspiring window onto Qingdao from above. The 360-degree floor-to-ceiling glass commands a stunning view of the city and of Fushan Bay. For the more imaginative, it's also a high-altitude glass box that creates a magical world in the sky.
