The Sun and Moon Twin Towers are located in the beautiful fir Lake in Guilin City. They were rebuilt in 2001 on the basis of the Tang Dynasty Buddhist Pagoda. The Twin Towers are a famous tower in China. They are a cultural landmark in Guilin City. They are also the most famous tourist attraction among the two rivers and four lakes and the water system around the city. They are the first cultural park in China with the theme of "The Harmony of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism." It is a tourist attraction integrating culture, art, religion, architecture, science and technology, and natural landscape.



The sun tower is a copper tower, and the moon tower is a glazed tower. The two towers are connected by a 10-meter-long lake bottom tunnel at the bottom of the lake. The surroundings, interior walls, doors and windows of the twin towers are filled with colorful patterns, mainly yellow, green, white, blue and black. These murals mainly reflect the culture of northern Guangxi. The patterns mainly include various flowers, plants and 'Yao King Seal', reflecting the cultural characteristics of ethnic minorities in pursuing exquisite life.



The Sun Tower is a 9-level eight-corner pagoda, 41 meters high, a total of 9 floors, and a concrete-clad copper-structure. The inner layer is made of reinforced concrete and is wrapped in brass. All its components such as Tash, tiles, paintings, warps, brackets, queens, doors and windows, columns and beams, stairs, roofs and floors are built of pure brass, consuming a total of 350 tons of copper.

Leading to the former tower is an underground aquatic channel, 18 meters long; through the arched glass, you can see the koi carp, golden carp, spotted fish, black grass above the head and on both sides... living leisurely at the bottom of the lake.

There is a copper bell for praying on the first floor of the Sun Tower, which can be rung to pray. At the same time, there are also tea houses on the first and second floors, where you can also sip tea and enjoy the scenery.

Vertical elevators are installed in the tower. It is currently the tallest copper elevator tower in the world and the tallest copper building in the world. Moreover, the sun tower is built in water, so it is naturally the tallest underwater tower in the world. That is to say, the sun tower has set three tallest in the world-the world's tallest copper elevator tower, the world's tallest copper building, and the world's tallest underwater tower. Take the elevator from the bottom of the tower to the top floor of the tower.
