Today we celebrate 40 years of the iconic Tashkent Tower! Standing at an impressive 375 meters (1,230 feet), it holds the title of the tallest structure in Central Asia 🥳

Inaugurated on January 15, 1985, after seven years of construction, the Tashkent Tower was designed by architects M. Musheev, D. Terxiev, and S. Semashko. Its unique design harmoniously blends traditional Uzbek motifs with modern architectural elements. The tower's stability is ensured by three conic supports, each 93 meters high, enabling it to withstand seismic activity common in the region.

Primarily serving as a hub for radio and television broadcasting, the tower also houses meteorological equipment that provides vital weather data for Uzbekistan's agricultural sector. Visitors can explore the observation deck at 97.3 meters, offering panoramic views of Tashkent extending up to 25 kilometers on clear days. The tower also features two rotating restaurants, the "Blue Restaurant" and the "Red Restaurant," situated at heights of 105 and 109 meters respectively, each completing a full rotation every 45 to 90 minutes.

Guests ascend the tower via high-speed elevators, reaching the observation deck in just 30 seconds 🚀 The tower's interior showcases marble walls and floors, reflecting Uzbekistan's rich artistic traditions. A museum located in the foyer displays models of the world's tallest and most extraordinary television towers, offering insights into global architectural achievements.

Some 🤓 to celebrate:

🏢 In 1991, the Tashkent Tower was admitted into the World Federation of Great Towers.

🏞️ With a total weight of 7,200 tons, the Tashkent Tower is designed to stand strong against the elements and withstand winds up to 108 km/h.

📡 The Tashkent Tower's antenna stands a towering 155 meters tall and weighs 5 tons!

💧 The tower's water tank has a capacity of 6,000 liters.

On behalf of all members of the we wish you a happy birthday, Tashkent tower! 💐

Happy Birthday to the Tokyo Tower! 🎉 On this day in 1958, this iconic structure rose into the Tokyo skyline, becoming a proud symbol of Japan's postwar transformation. Standing 333 meters tall, Tokyo Tower held the title of the world's tallest freestanding steel tower at the time of its completion. It was Japan's tallest structure until it was surpassed by Tokyo Skytree in 2010.

Inspired by the Eiffel Tower and designed by Tachu Naito, its vibrant red and white colors light up the city, changing hues seasonally and for special occasions. Visitors can explore breathtaking views from the Main Deck (150m) or venture to the Top Deck (250m) for panoramic vistas that include Mt. Fuji on clear days. There’s even a glass-floor "look-down window" for brave souls at the Main Deck!

Built in just 18 months with 4,000 tons of steel, Tokyo Tower isn’t just a sightseeing spot, it also serves as a key broadcast hub and includes “Foot Town,” a lively area of shops and restaurants at its base.

Here’s to 66 years of this enduring icon adorning Tokyo’s skyline! 🎂✨

Happy 23rd Birthday to the iconic Macau Tower 🎂 🎉

Soaring 338m above Macau, this landmark has been captivating visitors since 2001 with panoramic views, world-class dining, shopping, and a variety of exciting activities. The inspiration for its design came from a visit by local businessman Dr. Stanley Ho to the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand (another member of the ). Amazed by its beauty, he envisioned a similar marvel for Macau. The tower took 3 years and USD$130 million to construct by architect Gordon Moller of CCMBECA, and the tower was inaugurated on December 19th, 2001.

Did you know? Daredevils can tackle the Guinness World Record for highest commercial bungee jump at 233m or take a Skywalk around the tower’s edge for spectacular 360° views of the city and beyond!

Sending birthday wishes from all of us at ! 💙
