Yantai's new landmark dubbed most anticipated building of 2024

The highly anticipated Time Tower in Yantai, Shandong province is now partially opened to the public. Back in 2021, it was honored with the AR Future Projects Awards by the renowned British magazine Architectural Review.

Situated in Yangfan Square within Yantai Huang-Bohai New Area, this 50-meter-tall structure appears as if a tower had been sliced diagonally. Its unique blend of curved and straight lines creates various spaces housing a theater, library, exhibition hall, and café.

Many regard the Time Tower's most distinctive feature to be its semi-open-air theater in the base, where they can have a truly delightful experience admiring the vast ocean and captivating sunset at dusk.
