Hefei scenery of Hefei Big Bell Tower——Big Bell Tower

In the past, the Big Bell Tower appeared in Hefei's promotional brochures as Hefei's city card, in CCTV's weather forecast pictures of Hefei, and in reports on various occasions related to Hefei. The Big Bell Tower was completed in the early 1980s. It consists of a main computer room, a clock tower, a business hall, etc., with a total construction area of ??14,485 square meters, a 7-story main building, a 12-story bell tower, and a total height of 82 meters. The bell body is 2 stories high and is surrounded by black marble. Since its completion, it has been the office space of Hefei Telecom headquarters.

After entering the 21st century, a taller Hefei Telecom Building was built in Wulitun in the west of Hefei. After the headquarters of Hefei Telecom moved westward, the function of the bell tower was weakened.

The Big Bell Tower was once the tallest building in Hefei in the 1980s. As a former city landmark, at this time, although it has been covered up by many tall buildings around it, its image is still tall when you are close. Looking at the black and white clock dial on the bell tower, you feel a sense of intimacy. Feelings arise spontaneously.

In every sunny morning, the big bell tower is reflected by the morning glow in the east, and the "Dongfanghong" chime at seven o'clock announces to me the beginning of a new day.

When the storm is about to come, the southeast direction is shrouded in thick black clouds, and the big clock tower stands out under the black clouds. The pale floor and the time on the clock are reflected by the black clouds. Paler and clearer.

We are near the still bustling Bell Tower. Although the Bell Tower has become "shorter", it is still an important landmark in Hefei. On the various roads around it, many buses still announced the stop name of "Big Bell Tower"; when we strolled on the paths of Baohe Park, looking to the west, the Big Bell Tower still stood under the blue sky; For those who are used to walking near the clock tower and those who live and work around it, they can still hear its melodious chime.
