Ring of Life, Steel monument in Fushun, China
The Ring of Life stands as a circular steel structure rising 157 meters in diameter against the Fushun city skyline, forming a complete circle.
In 2009, entertainment designer Gary Goddard received a commission from Fushun's economic development committee to create plans for a new urban district.
The circular design of the monument represents the eternal cycle of existence according to Chinese philosophical traditions of continuity and renewal.
Visitors can access an observation platform through elevators inside the structure, while 12,000 LED lights illuminate the ring during nighttime hours.
The steel monument weighs 3,000 tons and required an investment of 16 million dollars to construct this geometric shape in the urban landscape.
