There are so many things to see in Beijing, especially of historical and cultural interest, so this 'poor old tower' tends to get overlooked. I however, do think it is worth a visit, especially if you're stuck in Beijing and not particularly interested in all things ancient.
The CCTV tower not surprisingly is the home of many TV and Radio station broadcasts, including CCTV1 thru CCTV9. From the top you can see a wide view of the western area of Beijing, like the whole new CCTV Tower, the Olympic Stadium and all kind of non-environmental industries on the West side...
There are two levels to the tower. One is for outdoor observation, another is revolving restaurants which is not too expensive, but not too fancy either. The first one is incredible. When you're going out of the lift, you will immediately understand that you're very high... For sure you will find your home with the free telescope...
At the base of the tower and across the main road you will find a rather pretty little park. Here you can rent boats or just stroll along the shore. From the park you can get a great view, and picture of the tower in all its glory. At night it is illuminated to some degree.
If you want to discover Beijing with a new point of view, go to this place. |
