The Olympic TV Sightseeing Tower

The Olympic TV Sightseeing Tower is a prominent landmark in Qingdao, located in Zhongshan Park. Originally constructed as a television transmission tower, it now serves as a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors expansive views of the city, mountains, and coastline. The tower's design is reminiscent of the Dragon Tower in Harbin, reflecting Chinese cultural symbolism. A rotating restaurant provides a unique dining experience, while a surrounding market offers local goods and snacks. While the tower itself shows its age, the views, particularly on clear days, remain a significant draw for guests.
