Synesthesia Hills is a fantastical illumination where light and nature come together. With diverse lighting effects in harmony with the natural surroundings, it captivates every visitor. The Welcome Area, also popular as a photo spot, offers a nostalgic, warmly inviting atmosphere. Beyond the entrance gate, each zone features its own unique displays—such as a tunnel of light, shooting lights, and Crystal Lake.
