A 405 m TV tower completed in 1994: the observation deck and revolving restaurant overlook Yuyuantan Park, the Summer Palace direction and the cityscape along the West Third Ring; the tower base features radio, film and television themed exhibits. In spring, Yuyuantan's cherry blossoms framed together with the tower make one of Beijing's famous scenes. The CNY 85 ticket includes tower access; dining in the revolving restaurant at night for the night view is a classic choice, and the tower is a short walk from Xidiaoyutai Station on Metro Line 10.
