Tianjin Radio and Television Tower

Tianjin Radio and Television Tower, Television tower in Hexi District, Tianjin, China.

Tianjin Radio and Television Tower is a concrete tower with an observation platform positioned in the upper section of the structure. The platform offers views across the city while housing broadcasting and telecommunications equipment.

Planning began in the 1980s, when the city's two older masts on Weijin Road proved too low and outdated to cover the growing urban area. After a 1976 Tangshan earthquake halted an earlier 250-metre project, approval in 1986 set the height at 400 metres. The first pile at the Nie Gong Bridge site was driven on 5 June 1988, the main structure topped out at 338.2 metres on 23 August 1990, and the tower opened on 1 October 1991 as Asia's tallest.

The tower is known as Tianta, or "Tianjin Tower", and its silhouette over Tianjin Lake is listed among the ten scenes of Tianjin as "Tianta Spinning Clouds". The 22-hectare lake around its base, Tianjin Lake, forms a national 4A-rated scenic area. The seven-storey flying-saucer pod between 248.5 and 278 metres holds a revolving restaurant that completes a turn every 45 to 60 minutes.

Visitors reach the upper levels by taking fast elevators inside the tower. The best time to visit is during daytime or early evening when city lights become visible.

The tower's pod, a seven-storey disc 46.2 metres across, holds a revolving restaurant that completes one turn every 45 to 60 minutes, so the view changes during a single meal. The tower joined the World Federation of Great Towers in 1995.
