Seventy-two Wonder Tower

This contemporary night complex centres on a giant stilt-house-inspired tower. After sunset, building lights, live shows, craft demonstrations, a snack market and a bonfire square create a two- to three-hour city evening.

Seventy-two Wonder Tower guide

A giant open tower anchors the evening

Beside Wuling Mountain Avenue, Seventy-two Wonder Tower rises 109.9 metres. Layered eaves and timber imagery climb around a central opening 38 metres high, 28 metres wide and 21 metres deep. After sunset, lights trace the eaves and opening from the front square.

The illuminated tower at night

The outside square provides the distance needed to see the tower's full outline and central opening.

The tower is also the backdrop for a 7D light show. A short exterior stop is enough to see the building; an evening ticket adds shows, stalls and square activities.

Shows, crafts and food occupy different spaces

More than twenty immersive programmes are spread through the complex. Check the night's schedule on entry, then move between small theatres, street areas and the bonfire square by start time.

Performance in the central square

The central square hosts larger interactive and bonfire activities, while smaller shows set the rest of the evening's movement.

Food stalls, oil-dyeing and silversmith demonstrations fill the gaps. Craft areas favour close viewing or participation, while the market covers evening food. Specific shows and times change by date.

The design enlarges layered eaves and stilt-house imagery into a contemporary landmark, distinct from Fenghuang's real riverside houses or Dayong's themed district. Allow roughly two to three hours and check the programme, ticket inclusions and closing time first.
