There are two pagodas located in Shan Lake. The Sun Pagoda is made of copper, while the Moon Pagoda is made of glazed glass. The two pagodas are connected by a 10-meter-long tunnel under the lake.
The whole tower is decorated with pure copper, and all its components, such as the tower body, tiles, corners, columns, beams, and floors, are decorated with copper murals.
Every night, the two towers emit golden and silver lights respectively under the light, and the reflection in the lake is particularly beautiful.
The best time to watch is at night, when the twin towers are lit up, one in golden light and the other in silver-white light.

💕It is one of the very famous scenic spots in Guilin city. Many tourists like to take pictures here and capture the reflection of the twin towers. There is no charge for standing on the shore to watch the Moon-like Twin Towers, but it is required to go in for a visit.
💕The two towers convey Buddhist culture. The tour guide said that although the two towers are separated, they can be connected underwater. Walking in the underground passage, you can see water plants above your head and many underwater creatures🐠.
💕The setting sun gradually renders the dusk sky. Standing in front of the Sun and Moon Towers and looking at the lake and the trees on the shore, Guilin's beautiful scenery and people make people like it; the Day and Night Towers are even more impressive after nightfall. The night view of the twin towers is reflected in the water. The two towers are different colors, gold and silver match each other. The golden one on the right is the Sun Tower. The whole tower is made of copper, and it also has a place in the international arena. It is the tallest copper tower in the world, magnificent and dazzling; the Moon Tower next door is a glazed tower, full of traditional Chinese charm, and the silver color of the Moon Tower is a low-key and restrained beauty.
💕There will be cruise ships passing by the Sun and Moon Twin Towers at night. You can also see the night view of the Sun and Moon Twin Towers while walking in the park. The park is free and there is no entrance fee.
The Sun and Moon Towers are located in the central area of Guilin, on the central axis of Guilin City, and adjacent to "Elephant Mountain, Water and Moon". Elephant Mountain is the city emblem of Guilin, and the twin towers are the symbol of New Guilin. The Sun Tower, Moon Tower, Puxian Tower on Elephant Mountain, and Shoufo Tower on Pagoda Mountain echo and set off each other, and there is a saying that "the four towers are equally beautiful". Guilin Sun and Moon Towers are known as the world's first copper towers and are a beautiful night view viewing spot for Guilin tourism. The Sun Tower is 41 meters high and has nine floors. It is decorated with pure copper throughout, consuming 350 tons of copper. It is magnificent and has elevators for tourists to take. The Moon Tower is 35 meters high and has seven floors. It is a glazed tower. The carved and painted doors and windows on each floor imply different themes and are rich in traditional Chinese charm. It is connected to the Sun Tower through an 18-meter-long underwater aquarium. In its underground palace, there is a large mural of blue and white plum bottles from the Ming Dynasty in Guilin.
The Sun and Moon Pagodas of Guilin are located in Shanhu Lake in the center of Guilin. They were first built in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt into a modern copper tower in 2002. The Sun Tower is a nine-story copper tower, with a golden body symbolizing the sun; the Moon Tower is a seven-story glazed tower, with a silver-white appearance echoing the moonlight. The two towers are connected by an underwater glass passage, forming a "sun and moon shining together" spectacle. The highlight is the perfect fusion of the Tang Dynasty pagoda form and modern technology - the Sun Tower has set a Guinness World Record for the "highest copper building", and the elevator in the tower can go directly to the top floor for viewing; the Moon Tower has exquisite glazed craftsmanship, and the night light show is very visually impactful.
In the evening, I went to see the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas. The night view of Guilin is really beautiful, and the use of lighting is just right.
After visiting the Sun and Moon Towers, I originally wanted to visit Jingjiang Palace, but I was really hungry. So I went to Lianda Plaza and ate at the popular restaurant, Shang Shang Q Fish Restaurant. This restaurant is located in Building 6 of Lianda Plaza, opposite Yihetang. There were a lot of people when we went there. We had to wait for a table.
The Sun Tower and the Moon Tower are 41 meters high and 35 meters high, respectively. The two towers are connected by an 18-meter-long underwater aquarium. The Sun Tower is made of copper, while the Moon Tower is made of glazed glass. The Sun Tower has set three world records: the world's tallest copper tower, the world's tallest copper building, and the world's tallest underwater tower.
If you are staying near Xiangshan and have nothing to do at night, you can also come here for a walk. However, if it is a holiday, there are basically a lot of people here, probably just to join in the fun. You can go to the snack street from here to eat and drink, there are also a lot of food, and you can also buy souvenirs.
I didn't have time to visit during the day, so I took a few photos during the night visit. It felt pretty good.
The night view is very good, please stop building buildings around it
Taking a night cruise on the Two Rivers and Four Lakes is a must-see for first-time visitors to Guilin.
Gold and silver, the Sun and Moon Towers, are worth seeing
A must-see attraction in Guilin, the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas Park. The lights are brilliant at night. Perfect...
The Sun and Moon Towers are located in Shanhu Lake, one of the two rivers and four lakes, just a few steps away from the city center, with beautiful scenery.
The night and day have their own merits, beautiful, praise
The twin towers on the two rivers and four lakes must be visited at night
The best time to view the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas is at night. The first way to view them is to go to the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas Park at night and watch them from a distance. The second way is to take a boat, but the boat ticket is more expensive, so we just watch from the side and join in the fun. There are many people in the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas Park, and the scene from a distance is really beautiful.
There is nothing special about it, except that you can see the tower reflected in the water.
I watched the night view at Zhiyintai, and took another photo while cruising the two rivers and four lakes at night. The Sun and Moon Towers are still very photogenic.
It is recommended to come here at night, the night view of the Sun and Moon Twin Towers is very beautiful.
This place is suitable for walking around at night, the scenery is still beautiful
It's really pleasant to walk along the city of Guilin at night. The scenery is beautiful and it's free.
The scenery is different during the day and at night. You can eat next to it and wait until dark.
Shuangta Park is named after the twin towers.
The twin towers can be used as a background for taking photos.
There seems to be nothing else.
The Sun and Moon Towers are particularly dazzling under the lights, echoing and setting off each other, forming a beautiful night scene. This is one of the viewing spots for the Two Rivers and Four Lakes cruise. If you take a night cruise, you will pass by here and see the night scene of the Sun and Moon Towers. If you don't want to take a cruise, you can also see the beautiful Sun and Moon Towers by walking on the shore.
A very nice park, the scenery is beautiful at night, there are many people, and there is also a chance to watch the Guilin Lanterns
The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas Park is right next to the Xiangshan Park. You can first visit Xiangshan and then go up to the Twin Pagodas Park at night to see the night view of Guilin.
It takes about 5-10 minutes to walk from Xiangshan Park to the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. There are walking paths around the lake, so you can walk in any direction. The viewing pier of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes is also here. Those who need to take a ride can visit the Sun and Moon Twin Towers first and then board the boat.
When I was making a travel guide, I saw the introduction saying "the two towers are connected by a tunnel under the lake, balabalabala", and the picture in my mind was very beautiful at the time ~ but when I got there, I found that the reality was very cruel ~ so if you are not particularly interested in religion, you don’t need to visit the tower. The ticket costs 20 yuan, which is enough to buy several bowls of noodles...
The golden and silver colors, the Sun and Moon Towers, are reflected on the mirror-like lake surface. They are shining against the colorful neon lights around them. Guilin at night is also fascinating and full of imagination.
The Sun and Moon Towers also lose much of their solemnity during the day at night and become friendly and approachable.
The lights of the twin towers will be on every night and will not go out until 11 o'clock. Aerial photography is prohibited in the Twin Towers Park. Please be aware that the security guards will come over to stop you if they see you.
The Golden and Silver Towers are just opposite the Xiangshan Mountain, a free park. The Golden and Silver Towers look very ordinary during the day, because you can't tell which one is gold and which one is silver?
Because their life blooms at night, the gorgeous twin towers are reflected on the lake like a dream. Free ones are definitely more worthwhile than paid ones.
The luminous ball in the park square is also a classic implementation. It was there five years ago and is still intact. The quality of tourists has really improved.
The twin towers are reflected on the lake, shimmering and charming!
The two towers seem to have no connection with each other, but in fact they have secretly connected to each other through an underwater aquarium.
The cruise ship passed by, leaving a red line that shuttled through this colorful night.
Guilin's landmark attractions, just take a photo, it's best to go at night
The Sun and Moon Twin Towers are a beautiful sight. Taking a leisurely walk around the towers will make you feel completely relaxed!
The sunset was very beautiful, but it was a pity that we arrived too late, so this is all the effect we can see.
These two towers were rebuilt later. When I first came here, the water quality in the lake was not very good. Standing next to the Sun Tower and taking pictures, it was so beautiful that I wanted to take it home! The Sun and Moon Towers. One gold and one silver, plus the reflection of the lake, are really intoxicating! What's worse is that the lights on the lake attract bighead carps to float on the water and play.
It's best to go at night, with lights, it's beautiful. But there are too many people at night. Yesterday was the Ghost Festival, so we went shopping and came back, not having fun! There is a Guilin Congee City next to it, business is booming, eat first, then go and see, so you don't waste time, the porridge in the restaurant is good, the dishes are salty!
The Sun and Moon Twin Towers in Guilin are located in the central area of Guilin, on the central axis of Guilin City, and adjacent to Elephant Mountain and Water Moon. The Sun Tower in the middle is a copper tower, and the Moon Tower on the left is a glazed tower. They are inconspicuous during the day, but when you sail by boat at night, they are lit up, sparkling in the twilight, and truly have the artistic conception of the sun and the moon shining.
If you have time, you must visit the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas at night to enjoy the scenery of Guilin, go to the East and West Alleys to eat a bowl of authentic Guilin rice noodles, go to Xiangshan to check out the local landmark buildings, and climb Diecai Mountain to overlook the 360-degree view of Guilin city.
It is recommended to visit at night, which is more splendid and dazzling. During the day, you can hardly see any special features. You can only take a cruise to visit it up close. There are quite a lot of foreign tourists during the day; but at night, it is like bursting into new life, it is so splendid, so dazzling and so dazzling! No wonder there are so many tourists coming here to take pictures, it is really worth a visit.
Even though I know that the beauty of the night here comes from the lights, artificial and external decoration, I still can't hide the joy after seeing it. It is really beautiful beyond words, and it makes people feel the beauty of Guilin in different periods of time in all aspects!!!
No tickets are required, and it is convenient to watch. After getting off the bus, I walked for 3 minutes and saw the check-in attraction. It is good. I recommend taking a taxi to see it at night. I won't regret it.
This is an open park. Walking along the shore, you can enjoy the night view of the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. There are also some singers singing on the shore. The atmosphere is very good. To be honest, the Sun and Moon Twin Towers are much more beautiful at night than during the day. During the day, the residential buildings behind the twin towers are clearly visible, but at night, only the twin towers are the brightest.
The park is free, but there is a fee to go up the tower.
For an open park, you should visit at night, when the two towers stand side by side, with the Sun Tower appearing golden and the Moon Tower appearing silvery white, to see the best effect.
In fact, this is like the Qiandeng Lake in Foshan, which is a landmark building. There is no reason not to go there, so it is worth a visit. The park is a city park, and there seems to be a pedestrian street and a street for eating nearby.
The scenery during the day is not as good as at night. Tickets are required to climb the tower.
The Sun Tower is made of copper, while the Moon Tower is made of glazed glass. The two towers are connected by a 10-meter-long tunnel under the lake. At night, the two towers emit golden and silver lights respectively under the light, and the reflections in the lake are particularly beautiful.
There are a lot of people doing square dancing at night. . . .
The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas are located in the central area of Guilin City, on the central axis of Guilin City, adjacent to "Elephant Mountain, Water and Moon". Elephant Mountain is the city emblem of Guilin, and the Twin Pagodas are the symbol of New Guilin. The Sun Pagoda, the Moon Pagoda, the Puxian Pagoda on Elephant Mountain, and the Shoufo Pagoda on Pagoda Mountain echo and set off each other, and there is a saying that "the four towers are equally beautiful". The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas in Guilin are known as the world's first copper towers and are a beautiful night view viewing spot for Guilin tourism. Since I went there during the day, the scenery was not as good as at night. Next time I have the opportunity to go and witness the night view of the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas at night.
How should I put it, it's just a park. The night view is very beautiful. It was artificially built later.
The night view is especially good, very suitable for lingering at night after viewing the mountains and rivers during the day~
You can take a cruise on the two rivers and four lakes in the park. The ticket is about 200 yuan and the tour takes more than an hour. The lake reflects the lights of the Sun and Moon Tower, and the red and green lights on both sides are dotted. We walked along the shore and it was still very lively.
It was still early when we arrived in Guilin by bus. After putting our luggage in Nuantu, we went out to look for food, and then walked to the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas Park. The scenery was great, and there were many tourists. Because I was traveling alone, many of my photos were taken by fellow travelers or locals I met occasionally, haha. I even went back to see the night view at night.
There are tickets for the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas, and of course you can also see them from the outside. It is a landmark building in Guilin.
At night, there will be some activities with lights and the lake around the twin towers.
This is the essence of Liangjiang Four Hu. Every tourist who comes to Guilin must come here, and some may even linger there. It is best to go up the Sun and Moon Pagoda at night. The on-site ticket is more expensive (42 yuan), and it is much cheaper to buy it online. I bought it online for 10 yuan and it was great value for money.
The city center of Guilin has a great view at night and there are many people around, not only tourists but also many locals who come here for a stroll.
I didn't go in to see it, I just took two photos from a distance. In fact, many parks are similar.
The two towers are really beautiful, standing out from the rest of the lake, offering a unique view. Picture 1 is the Sun Tower, a bronze tower; Picture 2 is the Moon Tower, a glazed tower. Tickets are required to enter the towers. I felt that it was not easy to come to Guilin, so I bought a ticket and went in for a visit. It was actually OK inside. If you are a devout Buddhist, you might be interested. If not, there is nothing much inside. However, the lake view from the tower is still very beautiful, with a wide field of vision.
When night falls, I sit on the stone bench by the lake, watching the cruise ships slowly turn a corner and sail away, creating waves on the calm lake, watching the clouds in the sky drifting and gradually turning from white to red, watching the Sun and Moon Towers begin to shine with golden splendor and silver light as night falls...
No matter how beautiful others say this place is, it is just two towers, and it is a nice background for taking photos.
Keep walking along the road outside Xiangshan Park, and you can reach the Two Rivers and Four Lakes and the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas Scenic Area. On the way, you can also walk to Zhengyang Pedestrian Street. The view of the twin towers is super beautiful at night, and of course it is not bad during the day. Guilin is really a city between mountains and rivers.
Right in the center of Guilin, we can see this park from our hotel room
I went there at night and the door was locked. I wonder if I can go up to the tower. The night view is beautiful.
Located in the Shan Lake in Guilin, the Sun Tower is a copper tower located in the center of the lake, 41 meters high and 9 floors, while the Moon Tower is a glazed tower, 35 meters high and 7 floors. The two towers are connected by a 10-meter-long tunnel under the lake. The night view of the Sun and Moon Towers is very beautiful and worth a visit.
The night is more beautiful than the day, the lights are shining...
It is very unique. The water and sky are one color, and the twin towers and the lake are interdependent.
Take a walk along the lake, the scenery is nice, and you can enjoy the scenery of the twin towers without tickets
The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas Park is a symbol of Guilin. There are few visitors in the park during the day, but many at night. The twin towers light up at around 7:30, one white and one yellow, which is very beautiful. There is a water corridor on the right side of the park entrance, which is an excellent angle for taking pictures of the twin towers. You can see the twin towers from different angles by touring around the lake. The twin towers are very close to Elephant Trunk Hill and Zhengyang Street. From Gate 3 of Elephant Trunk Hill, you will reach the Rongshan Lake Scenic Area, and it takes 10 minutes to walk to the twin towers. Walk south from Zhengyang Street to the Twin Towers Park
The night view is nice and no tickets are required. It is worth a walk after dinner.
The Sun and Moon Towers in the center of Shanhu Lake are the tallest underwater towers in the world. The Sun Tower is made of copper, and the Moon Tower is made of glazed glass. The two towers are connected by an 18-meter-long underwater aquarium. In the evening, the lights of the Gold and Silver Towers are reflected on the water surface, and the lake water is clear and slightly rippled, which is intoxicating.
The Sun and Moon Towers are a scenic spot in the Two Rivers and Four Lakes. They are worth visiting and can be seen from the periphery of the lake. Tickets are charged if you want to climb the towers. The golden-red one is the Sun Tower, and the silver-white one is the Moon Tower. The night view is the most beautiful. To reach the Sun Tower, you must enter the Moon Tower and pass through the underwater tunnel.
The twin towers themselves are pretty good, and they are the landmark buildings of Guilin. On the central axis, the two towers have their own characteristics, and the night view is even better. But there is also a commercial atmosphere. There is a crypt underground, with a tour guide explaining, and there are shopping projects at the end. Take the elevator to the 7th floor of the other tower. The 8th and 9th floors are dedicated to Master Jianzhen and Thousand-handed Guanyin respectively. The staff will give you the zodiac guardian blessing. As for the rest, everyone knows, of course it is purely voluntary.
The Sun and Moon Pagodas are located in the central area of Guilin City, on the central axis of Guilin City, and adjacent to "Elephant Mountain, Water and Moon". Elephant Mountain is the city emblem of Guilin, and the twin towers are the symbol of New Guilin.

Among them, the Sun Pagoda is 41 meters high and has nine floors. The whole body is decorated with pure copper, consuming 350 tons of copper materials. It is magnificent and has elevators for tourists to take. All components of the copper tower, such as staves, tiles, corners, brackets, brackets, doors and windows, columns and beams, ceilings, and floors are completely decorated with copper murals. The entire copper tower has set three world records - the world's tallest copper tower, the world's tallest copper building, and the world's tallest water tower. The Moon Pagoda is 35 meters high and has seven floors. It is a glazed tower. The carved and painted doors and windows on each floor represent different themes and are rich in traditional Chinese charm. They are connected to the Sun Tower through an 18-meter-long underwater aquarium. In its underground palace, there is a large mural of a blue-and-white plum vase from the Ming Dynasty in Guilin. The Shanhu Sun and Moon Twin Towers have become a popular place to enjoy the essence of Guilin.
To be honest, it's just so-so, nothing worth watching.
The Sun and Moon Towers are the most famous attractions in the One River and Four Lakes Tour. Unfortunately, the weather was bad. Visibility was low. Next time I have a chance to come to Guilin, I will walk for five hours to visit the One River and Four Lakes and take a good look at the Sun and Moon Towers.
The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas, built in 2002, were rebuilt on the basis of Tang Dynasty pagodas. They are located in the center of Guilin, on the central axis of Guilin, on Shanhu Island, and adjacent to Elephant Mountain. Elephant Mountain is the emblem of Guilin, while the Twin Pagodas are the symbol of New Guilin.
The Sun Pagoda, Moon Pagoda, Samantabhadra Pagoda on Elephant Mountain, and Shoufo Pagoda on Pagoda Mountain echo and set off each other, and there is a saying that "the four pagodas are equally beautiful."
The Sun Tower is 41 meters high and has nine floors. It is decorated with pure copper and uses 350 tons of copper. It has an elevator for tourists to take. The entire tower has set three world records: the tallest copper tower, the tallest copper building, and the tallest tower in water.
