The invention discloses a sand table display workbench for environmental design, and belongs to the field of environmental design. The sand table display workbench comprises: a body; an arc-shaped sliding rail, wherein the two ends of the arc-shaped sliding rail are arranged on the body, the arc-shaped sliding rail stretches across the body, and an arc-shaped rack is correspondingly arranged on the side face, facing the body, of the arc-shaped sliding rail; and a lighting system which comprises a support, a transition gear, a steering gear and a light source, wherein the support is slidably arranged on the arc-shaped sliding rail, the transition gear and the steering gear are both rotatably arranged on the support, the transition gear is located between the arc-shaped rack and the steeringgear, the transition gear is meshed with the arc-shaped rack and the steering gear, the light source is fixedly arranged on the steering gear, and when the steering gear rotates, the light source isdriven to change the illumination angle. The lighting system can simulate sunlight irradiation, can move on the arc-shaped sliding rail by means of the arc-shaped sliding rail, can simulate east-riseand west-fall of the sun, can change the irradiation angle, and is closer to the real sunlight condition.
