Ankang Anlan Park

　　Anlan Park is situated on the west side of the northern entrance of the Ankang Hanjiang River Bridge. Blessed with a naturally superior location, its gently undulating hills set the stage for the Anlan Tower, which stands majestically at the highest point. From a distance, the tower exudes an air of classic elegance, while at night, it dazzles with radiant lights, making it a landmark of modern Ankang city.

　　The Anlan Tower scenic area is located at the urban entrance of the Ankang Bridgehead, within Anlan Park along Binjiang Avenue. It is a five-story, double-eaved structure with a total height of 41.37 meters, a construction area of 1,380 square meters, and a terrace area of 860 square meters. The rooftop of the top floor features a pyramidal roof with four corners, and the spire stands 5.22 meters high. The eaves of all floors stretch over 700 meters in total length, adorned with 1,326 decorative components including brackets, arches, lifts, upturned ends, show heads, king’s fists, and hanging ornaments, as well as 64 various wing corners. The ancient architectural style follows the grand Ming and Qing dynasty methods, and the roof is covered with bluish-gray glazed tiles. To the east of the tower lies a pavilion and a covered walkway, and to the south, a memorial archway. The entire structure is built with a full reinforced concrete frame shear wall system and was officially completed in late 2004.

　　Nestled along the banks of the Han River, the Anlan Tower is inlaid with its corridors and auxiliary halls, presenting an elegant and classic style — like a brilliant pearl. From afar, it looks majestic yet agile; at night, it sparkles with colorful radiance and delicate beauty. Inside, the cultural decorations, enriched by Mr. Xu Shanlin’s extensive collection of calligraphy and paintings from renowned artists across Shaanxi, exhibit deep literary significance and embody the unique cultural essence of the Han River region. The name “Anlan” (meaning “tranquil waves”) carries profound and auspicious meaning. Integrated with the under-construction Binjiang Avenue, the tower enjoys excellent transportation access and a beautiful environment. From inside, visitors can gaze into the distance at the Xiangxi Scenic Area and take in the nearby Jiangnan urban district, with both riverbanks spread out before their eyes — making it a key riverside scenic spot.
