What towers are there in the world, such as the Eiffel Tower?

1. Toronto National Television Tower, Canada

The National Television Tower of Toronto is 18 15 feet (about 550 meters) high, and is located in the downtown area with many high-rise buildings. The viewing platform of the TV tower is supported by a piece of glass only two fingers thick. Standing on it, you can overlook the surrounding city scenery 360 degrees. However, looking at the abyss under your feet, I'm afraid most tourists are afraid to go up.

2. Forest Tower in Sovenhorst, the Netherlands

In Schovenhorst Manor in the Netherlands, there is a unique forest tower, through which you can see the natural landscape of the surrounding protected areas. The design includes a lot of space and various activity facilities, such as peepholes, climbing nets and even a small performance stage.

3. Willis Building, Chicago, USA

If you have always been curious about the feeling of overlooking Chicago from the 1 10-storey building, try the air deck of Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), which may be the closest place to your dream. The "glass balcony" of this building has glass at the bottom and glass walls on three sides, providing visitors with an unparalleled experience of watching Chicago, but this experience may be a nightmare for some timid people.

4. Ecuador Bird Watching Platform

The bird-watching platform in Ecuador at first glance may be the best bird-watching place in the Amazon basin-of course, if you have the courage to climb it. Once you climb to the top, you will find that this bird-watching platform fixed with ropes will shake at the slightest sign of trouble. I believe that even the bravest people will feel scared standing on it.

5. Eureka Observatory in Melbourne, Australia

Like the observation deck of Willis Tower in Chicago, Eureka Skyscraper 88 in Melbourne, Australia is the best observation deck in the city. However, it is not suitable for those timid tourists. The designer designed a cube glass building called "The Edge" for tourists who dare to challenge themselves at a distance of 940 feet (about 286 meters) from the ground. It is called the highest public viewing platform in the southern hemisphere.

6. Kogisari Observatory in Helsinki, Finland

Korkeasaari watchtower is located in Kokiasari Zoo in Helsinki. It looks like a shell. This wooden structure is modeled after the natural nest where animals hide. It consists of 72 bent long wooden strips and is fixed by 600 bolts. Haoer Sally Observatory is a masterpiece of Verhara. This design concept won the design competition for the watchtower of Kogisali Zoo.

7. Black Tower in Lancashire, England

Blackpool Tower, located in Lancashire, England, is 5 18 feet high (about 158 meters) and was built in 1894, just after Blackpool Mayor John Bickerstaff attended the Paris World Expo. It is not difficult to guess from the appearance that the designer of Blacktower must have been inspired by the Eiffel Tower in France. The most popular thing about this tower is the famous "Journey of Trust", which is the glass floor added by 1998.

8. Burj Dubai

Burj Dubai will become the tallest building without supports in the world, and one of its most attractive places is the observation deck named "On the Top" on the124th floor. Due to the bottom-up glass wall structure, visitors can enjoy the extraordinary city scenery in an unobstructed view. But for paranoid people who are afraid of being swept away by strong winds, the observation deck will definitely become their nightmare. Only brave people are qualified to walk on this open-air observation deck and blend in with the beautiful scenery. It is reported that the multifunctional Burj Dubai will be opened to the public at the end of 2009.

9. Hill Lezberg Building in Stuttgart, Germany

Located in Stuttgart, Germany, this double spiral tower is mainly composed of two huge spiral ladders intertwined. The spiral staircase is suspended by a large number of iron ropes and surrounded by a pillar. Climbing to the top of the tower is not an easy task, but the natural scenery enjoyed from the top of the tower is also very attractive.

10. Harmony Tower of China World Expo.

In order to welcome Expo 20 10, a 495-foot (about 15 1 m) tall chimney of the oldest power plant in China and Shanghai is undergoing a dramatic "big transformation". This towering chimney will be transformed into a viewing tower called "Expo Harmony Tower". Its exterior will be covered with tracks, and cars like roller coasters will be responsible for transporting passengers to the top of the tower. The construction of the Expo Harmony Tower marks that this once highly polluted power plant has been completely transformed into an eco-friendly tourist attraction, and the electricity used comes from tidal, wind and solar power generation facilities.

1 1. Glasgow Tower in Scotland

Glasgow Tower is the tallest tower in Scotland and the only tower in the world that can rotate 360 degrees from bottom to top. The shape of Glasgow Tower is similar to the cross section of a wing. It is equipped with a computer-controlled monitor, which is responsible for turning on the rotating device to reduce wind resistance when the wind blows.

12. Green concept observation tower

Can you replace the ugly chimney with an environmentally friendly green power generation tower and make it a public place with a viewing platform? According to the designer Michael Gatzer, the answer to this question is obviously yes. Some of his design works follow this line of thinking. The wind turbine observation tower shown in the figure has five wind-activated parts, which can rotate in different directions and generate energy. It is reported that this ecological tower will be built in a public gathering area, and it is equipped with 7 platforms and 1 customized wind turbine.

13. Tower of Hope in Korea

South Korea will welcome a new landmark building-Luo Qing City Building, which is called "Tower of Hope". When completed, it will become the cultural center of Korea and the biggest highlight of large-scale urban development projects. The tower of hope will reach the height of 1476 feet (about 450 meters). Like an inverted ice cone, it is the second highest viewing platform in the world.

With the help of a series of high-tech means, the tower of hope will become the first "invisible tower" in the world. Its "skin" system uses an optical camera to capture the scene from the opposite wall, and then projects the picture onto every inch of the "skin" of the tower. In this way, the whole tower will appear as if it had disappeared. In it, you can hardly feel its existence, and what you see is only the vast and beautiful scenery.
