Jiangsu Nanjing Broadcast Television Tower, Television tower in Nanjing, China.
The Jiangsu Nanjing Broadcast Television Tower is a telecommunications structure that rises about 318 meters tall including its antenna and dominates the skyline. The structure contains an observation deck from which the city and surrounding region can be viewed in all directions.
The tower was completed in 1996 and represented a technological leap in regional broadcasting infrastructure. Its construction significantly improved the distribution of television and radio signals across Nanjing and the surrounding province.
The tower serves as a landmark that shapes how locals and visitors perceive the city's modern identity. From this vantage point, you can understand Nanjing's position along the Yangtze River and its importance as an urban center.
The observation deck is accessible during regular operating hours and offers unobstructed views in all directions across the landscape. The location works best in early morning or at sunset when lighting conditions are most favorable for seeing distant features.
Inside the structure is a rotating restaurant where diners slowly turn while eating, viewing the cityscape and river from shifting perspectives throughout the meal. This creates an uncommon opportunity to experience the landscape from multiple angles while dining.
