The short answer
The beach tower is visible from far away, close to the scaffold house. There is a switch on the seaward rock on each side of the tower, and they have to be pressed in the same instant. A radio makes this dramatically simpler.
After the gourd on top is yours, cut the key on the nearby cutter and carry it to the train station to start the monorail - that is how the blue tower closes out.
Before you start
- 2 players, one switch each
- A radio (this drops the difficulty a long way)

The two switches sit on the seaward rocks
One switch on the rock at each side of the beach tower, on the ocean side. Each of you picks a side and stands there.

Same instant
Count down over the radio and both of you press on the same instant.
Faster:Having the radio on takes this puzzle from "guessing and hoping" to "just do it".
Schematic: holding is not pressing. These mechanisms cut out the instant you let go, and that is nine tenths of "I definitely pressed it and nothing happened". - 3
Take the gourd, cut the key, start the monorail
Bring the gourd down from the tower top, give the key its shape on the nearby key cutter, then carry it to the train station and start the monorail.
Where it goes wrong
These are the questions real players search for most. Working through them in order usually finds the cause.
After finishing:1 blue tower part, plus the whole train system.
Where this solution came from
games.gg's Chinese guide gives the full flow: one switch on the seaward rock either side, same instant, far easier with a radio, then take the gourd from the top, cut the key and start the monorail.
Puzzles in this game are not assigned in a fixed order: most of them reward the same generic red gourd, so you can clear any set of challenges around a tower. That is why two guides list different puzzle line-ups for the same tower — neither is wrong. Unless a coordinate is credited to a named source it is a community measurement, and later versions can shift it; once you are in the area, trust the landmark over the number.
