How about Guang Zhouta (small waist)

Guang Zhouta, also known as Guangzhou New TV Tower, nicknamed Xiaomanyao, is located near Chigang Tower in Haizhu District (Yizhou Island), Guangzhou City, China, at an altitude of 600 meters, away from the south bank of the Pearl River125m, across the river from Haixinsha Island and Zhujiang New Town, and across the river from Haixinsha Island and Zhujiang New Town in Guangzhou 2 1 century CBD. It is the tallest tower in China and the third in the world. 20 10 On September 28th, Guangzhou Chengtou Group held a press conference, officially announcing that the new Guangzhou TV Tower was named Guang Zhouta, with an overall height of 600 meters. It is the tallest building in Guangzhou and the tallest tower in China, and the thinnest part of the "small waist" is on the 66th floor. 20 1 1 was officially awarded the "Tayao New City" as the first of the "New Eight Scenery of Yangcheng" and became the "Guang Zhouta You Must Visit" in Guangzhou Scenic Area, which was officially opened to the public on 2010/0.

Guang Zhouta, built in Guangdong Jiangxi Road, Haizhu District, Guangzhou, is at the south bank of the Pearl River 125m, facing Haixinsha Island and Zhujiang New Town across the river. It is a large-scale urban infrastructure that integrates the functions of sightseeing, culture, entertainment and city window, and provides broadcast service for the Asian Games held in Guangzhou on 20 10. The tower belongs to Guangzhou Chengtou Group and was built by Guangzhou Construction Engineering and Shanghai Construction Engineering Group. The project was completed in September 2009. The main body of Guang Zhouta is 450m (the highest point of the tower sightseeing platform is 454m), and the antenna mast is 150m, with a total height of 600m. It replaced Canada's CN TV Tower as the third tallest TV tower in the world at that time, and now it is only the second tallest self-supporting TV tower in the world-Tokyo Sky Tree Tower self-supporting TV Tower (634m high, started in July 2008 14). Guang Zhouta officially opened to the public on September 30th, 20 10, and sold tickets to receive tourists on June 30th.

In the architectural design competition of Guangzhou New TV Tower, many excellent designs appeared. After public voting and expert review, designers MarkHemel and BarbaraKuit from IBA in the Netherlands were finally selected for the design of Guangzhou New TV Tower. Company design scheme, the tower is 450m high, the antenna mast is150m, and the theme is "Guangzhou New Weather". Construction land area175460m2, total construction area114054m2, tower building area 44276m2 and basement building 69779m2.

The final design scheme of the tower of Guang Zhouta is an oval gradually changing grid structure, and its shape, space and structure are generated by two upward rotating oval steel shells, one on the foundation plane and the other on the imaginary 450m-high plane. The two ellipses twist each other by 65,438+0.35 degrees, and the two ellipses contract at the waist. The bottom of the lattice structure is loose and dense until the waist. The waist is tightened and fixed, like a woven rope, showing a "slim waist", and then the upper lattice structure is released and supported by tapered tubular structural columns. The plane size and structural density are controlled by two ellipses that control the structural design, and they produce different effect ranges at the same time. Seen from different directions, the shape of the whole tower is different. The more open structure at the top produces a transparent effect, while the part with dense waist can provide a relatively private experience. It can resist 7.8-degree earthquake and 12-degree typhoon, and its design service life is more than 100 years. Although the tower height of Guangzhou New TV Tower is not the highest in the world, the overall height of the 6 10m Guangzhou New TV Tower will still be the highest in Asia based on the transmitting antenna of 160m.

As Guangzhou New TV Tower is located in the turning area of the aircraft, according to the regulations, there can be no obstacles within 300 meters around the route, and the flying height of the aircraft above the new TV Tower is 900 meters above sea level. Therefore, in order to ensure the flight safety of the aircraft, the antenna at the top of the tower has been removed 10 meter, and the final height is 600 meters.

Guang Zhouta has many nice nicknames, the most famous of which is "Little Man's Waist". In addition, there are Haixin Tower, Bihai Xinsha, Nanzhuzhu, Muyun Tower, Baiyue yunzhu, Guang Zhouta, Lingnan Moxing Tower, Southland Spiral Tower, Guangzhou Pearl Tower, Yue Hui Tower, Guangzhou Haixin Tower, Haixin Sand Tower and Chiguang Tower.

Guang Zhouta was completed in September 2009. Including the transmitting antenna, the Guang Zhouta is 600 meters high (including the tower height of 450 meters and the antenna mast height of 150 meters), and the floor is 1 12. It is the tallest tower in China and the third tallest tower in the world. Second only to Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (828 meters) and Sky Tree TV Tower in Tokyo, Japan (634 meters).

20 11September1put into use.

"The sightseeing ball cabin rotates around the antenna for about 20 minutes, and visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Guangzhou from all angles. The person in charge of Guang Zhouta Construction Company said that it is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world because it stands on the 450m Guang Zhouta. The "downhill hanging basket" project originally planned to be installed at the top of the tower (3~4 downhill hanging baskets descending from 480m to the top of the tower) is already under negotiation.

People who are afraid of heights should not ride.

How to ensure the safety of the world's tallest ferris wheel with unique scenery? It is understood that the Guang Zhouta Ferris wheel is not suspended on the track, but runs along an inclined track. Because the plane where the elliptical track is located forms 15 with the horizontal plane, in order to keep the slightly inclined ball cabin stable in operation, the relevant departments have installed a "leveling mechanism" for the ball cabin, and the levelness of the ball cabin can be adjusted in real time through the ingenious combination of machinery and structure. 16 spherical cabin is connected in a circle by flexible cables, and it runs synchronously under the impetus of motor cars. It is reported that the reliable positioning and anti-roll device will ensure that the system is still "safe and sound" under the earthquake of magnitude 8 and typhoon of magnitude 12. -

Despite the safety measures, the tallest Ferris wheel is not as busy as it is. It is understood that the safety corridor of Guangzhou Ferris wheel is located next to the ball cabin, which is more than one meter wide. On both sides and below is the "abyss". If passengers are afraid of heights, or suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure and other diseases, it may be difficult to cooperate with rescuers at high altitude and it is not suitable for riding. -

Built 450~454 meters at the top of Guang Zhouta Tower, it is the highest Ferris wheel in the world. Running for about 20 minutes a week, visitors can enjoy Guangzhou from all angles. Ferris wheel * * * consists of 16 sightseeing ball cabins, which rotate in linkage and are placed near the edge. Each sightseeing ball cabin is 3.2 meters in diameter and can accommodate 4-6 passengers. The safety of the sightseeing ball cabin is guaranteed, and the positioning and anti-dumping device will ensure that it can resist the earthquake of magnitude 8 and the typhoon of magnitude 12. -

The boarding platform for tourists will be divided into loading and unloading areas, and the edge will be provided with a safety sliding door with a height of 1.2 meters, which can move with the ball cabin to ensure the orderly and safe tour for tourists.

Each sightseeing ball cabin is 3.2 meters in diameter and can "accommodate" 4~6 passengers; The shell of the ball cabin is made of new polymer material, which is crystal clear and can ensure that tourists in the cabin can have a panoramic view of the scenery outside the tower.
