After eight months of construction, the tower with a height of 99 meters stands by the beautiful Bahe River in Xi’an and presents a brilliant night scene. Construction of the tower with the architecture style of the Sui and Tang dynasties (618-907AD) was approved in June 2009. Construction started three months later and was finshed in the middle of last month. |
