Nestled in Dongzhai Port National Nature Reserve, Hainan, The Lunar Tower has a building area of 206 sqm and a height of 33.5m. Its slender silhouette minimizes environmental impact, while the gradient pattern facade, resembling mangrove leaves, seamlessly integrates with its surroundings. Observation platforms are set at 12m, 24m, and 27m, linked by spiral staircases, providing vistas at different altitudes. The tower's peak, reminiscent of the rising moon, offers a majestic panoramic sea view. As dusk falls, the moon-like pinnacle gradually illuminates, evoking a poetic ambience on site.
