Sichuan Tower

Chengdu


On a clear day the views from the outdoor 218m observation platform of the 339m Sichuan Tower are said to stretch all the way to Dujiangyan. On a hazy or cloudy day (so that will be most days), you'll get a weirdly interesting view over an ocean of massive identikit tower blocks.

The glass elevator whisks you from ground-floor to the observation platform in a mere 90 seconds.
