The towers are situated beside the Love River and can be accessed easily from nearby streets and public transportation routes. The buildings face open spaces that make them visible and easy to locate from various directions in the neighborhood.
The towers are also called Illuna Towers or Meng Lai Yin, depending on which naming system locals or developers prefer. These alternate names reflect how the same building can be known by different designations across various sources and communities.
