A red spiral sculpture called 'May Wind' stands in the middle of a big seaside plaza, with towers lined up along Fushan Bay behind it. By day, follow the promenade east to the Olympic Sailing Center, where the 2008 Beijing Olympics held its sailing races, and look at the forest of masts. The real show starts after dark: dozens of towers across the water light up together in a choreographed laser and LED display. It loops, so you don't need to stay for the whole thing.
