The tower, named "Bihaimingzhu", or "the Blue Sea and Shining Pearl", has eighteen stories above the ground. The tower is surrounded by a steel framework featuring a dolphin propping up a ball. It contains a metrological radar. The tower will provide extreme weather forecasts, such as gales, thunderstorms and sleet and play a key role in meteorological monitoring along the Hexi Corridor, the northwestern province's grain producing base. |
