Scenic spot introduction:
The Eiffel Tower is one of the three most famous buildings in the West, along with the Empire State Building in New York and the Tokyo Tower. It is known as a technical masterpiece in the history of world architecture because of its novel and unique design. It is also affectionately called the "Iron Lady" by the French and has become one of the symbols of Paris. If Notre Dame de Paris is the symbol of ancient Paris, then the Eiffel Tower is the symbol of modern Paris. The tower embodies the architectural achievements of the entire century, embodies the most daring and advanced architectural engineering art, and has become a symbol of the industrial revolution that swept the world at that time.The Eiffel Tower is located at the Champ de Mars on the banks of the Seine River in Paris. It is a hollow iron tower with a total height of 324 meters. The names of 72 scientists are engraved on the four faces of the tower, all of whom are engaged in research to protect the tower from being destroyed. The tower was originally built to welcome the World Expo and commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. It was named after the designer, the famous French architect Eiffel, and a bronze bust of Eiffel was built at the foot of the tower on the north side.
The Eiffel Tower looks completely different during the day and at night. During the day, the steel structure is clearly visible, which is awe-inspiring. Many people like to stand at the bottom of the tower and take photos of it from below; you can also watch the Eiffel Tower from the entrance of the Palais de Chaillot on the other side of the Seine. At night, the Eiffel Tower is another sight, with searchlights emitting golden light and countless light bulbs creating a flickering effect. There will be special colors during special festivals and events, which is particularly charming.
Attractions distribution:
The Eiffel Tower has three observation decks: upper, middle and lower, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.
