The tradition传统
Diaojiaolou (吊脚楼), literally “hanging-foot houses”, are the traditional homes of the Tujia and Miao peoples in the mountains of western Hunan. Their upper floors are raised on timber stilts, so a house can cling to a steep slope or a riverbank, with sweeping upturned eaves and open balconies.
72 Wonders Tower takes that mountain vernacular and builds it as a tower, 109.9 metres high, in the middle of a modern city.
吊脚楼，是湘西山区土家族、苗族的传统民居：上层以木柱架空，依山傍水而建，飞檐翘角，廊台敞开。七十二奇楼取这一山地民居的形态，在现代城市的中心筑成一座高达 109.9 米的高塔。
After dark入夜
When night falls the whole tower lights up, and a projection and light show plays across its façade from around 19:30. Drums, dancers and parades move through the streets below, so the architecture is never seen on its own: it is the stage for everything that happens around it.
夜幕降临，整座高塔亮起，约 19:30 起，投影与灯光秀在外立面上演。鼓阵、舞蹈与巡游穿行于楼下街区，建筑不再孤立，而是一切演出的舞台。

阴天或小雨
Many visitors say the tower looks even more atmospheric in soft, misty weather.
