The Wanxiang Towers are a new focal point in the Century City area and one of the new landmarks of the new downtown Hangzhou, an icon among the different expressions of verticality in the new district. The complex consists of two 150 m high towers. The west tower (hotel) sits in the continuity of the urban fabric, overlooking the river, and the east tower (offices) turns 30 degrees creating a new urban axis. The two towers merge at their base, offering a series of public terraces connected directly to the street by a prominent staircase and escalators.
