Sky Tower in Floating Clouds (Dianshita)
Tianjin
Broadcasting and Television Tower, nicknamed "sky tower",
was built in 1991 and has a height of 415.2 meters.
It is the fourth highest armed concrete tower in the
world and the second highest of its kind in Asia.
Tianjin Tower is located in
Hexi District of the southern part of the city. To its
west is the beautiful Shuishang Park (park on water).
The tower looks like a sword pointing to the sky amidst
lakes of shining ripples. Around it is an unobstructed
view of land and water with lush vegetation and blossoming
flowers. The tower casts its reflection in water. Music
adds more glamour to this reassuring serenity.
The "sky tower" presents a straightforward
and smooth profile. At heights from 248 to 278 meters
are a revolving restaurant and a scenic stand. The restaurant
can accommodate over 200 diners. The scenic stand offers
a spectacular and delightful view of the whole city.
You get a feeling of riding on clouds. You feel melted
in the sky. So, the descriptive name "sky tower in floating
clouds" cannot be more appropriate.
