Central Radio and TV Tower is a landmark building of Beijing as well as the tallest tower. It looks like a huge lantern suspending in the sky when night falls.

The tower boasts three highlights, two exhibition halls and an outdoor sightseeing platform.

The sightseeing platform is at the height of 234 meters that serves the best angle for appreciating the cityscape of Beijing. Visitors can pay 30 RMB to rent telescope or use free telescope. Bird’s Nest and Water Cube even can be seen clearly in fine weather.

One of the exhibition halls mainly displays sculptures themed with landmark buildings of Beijing while another shows the development of Chinese Radio and Television by photos. All the two halls provide guide free in charge. If you want to learn about the exhibitions in depth, 100 RMB should be paid.

In addition to the three highlights, a revolving restaurant offering buffet service is available. It will be romantic to have dinner accompanying with amazing landscape. The fee ranges from 198 RMB – 600 RMB per person.

It’s perfect for photographers to look for beautiful view of Beijing.
