Lotus Tower, Telecommunications tower in Colombo, Sri Lanka
The Lotus Tower rises 351 meters into the sky with a design featuring a slender green stem topped by petals that change color at night.
Construction of the tower began in January 2012 through Chinese funding as part of the Belt and Road Initiative, marking increased economic ties between the nations.
The structure takes its form from the lotus flower, incorporating traditional Sri Lankan symbolism into modern architectural design at an unprecedented scale.
Visitors can access observation decks, restaurants, and shops by purchasing tickets priced at 500 rupees for locals and 20 dollars for international guests.
The tower contains eight elevators leading to thirteen floors that house broadcasting facilities, conference rooms, hotels, museums, and entertainment venues.
