Colombo Lotus Tower to open for public yesterday

 

Sri Lanka’s Lotus Tower, dubbed South Asia’s tallest structure, will commence operations yesterday as it will be officially opened to the public. 

Following the commencement of its operation today, the members of the public will be allowed to visit the tower by purchasing a ticket for Rs. 500 or Rs. 2,000. 

Considered to be the tallest self-supported structure in South Asia which is measured up to 356 metres in height, the Lotus Tower was ceremoniously handed over to the Government of Sri Lanka on February 28, 2022, by the Chinese company following the completion of its construction work. 

Considered to be the tallest self-supported structure in South Asia, the Lotus Tower was vested with the public by former President Maithripala Sirisena in September 2019.
