According to reports, the "Harmony Clock Tower" tower is 113 meters high and has 9 floors. The largest mechanical tower clock in the world is installed inside, with a dial diameter of 12.8 meters. My roommate told me that the world’s largest mechanical clock was shipped from the UK and that a lot of money was spent to build this theme park. Seen from a distance, it has a typical European architectural style, and the colors are very beautiful. The spire of the tower is low-key retro red. The body of the tower is warm and white. It looks white and fresh during the day. At night, there will be lights shining from the tower. The bell tower appears mysterious and very bright, illuminating the entire park like a finger. Street lights.
The tower clock will tell the time when the sun rises every day, and once every half an hour during the day. The bell will ring every hour on the hour. The transmission distance of the bell can be up to 3 kilometers. Every day, the calm ringing of an ancient clock will ring here, and every time it sounds reminds us of the passage of time. This tower has been established for eight years, but it is not known whether it is due to its geographical location or insufficient publicity. Little is known about the Harmony Clock Tower. Many of Xiaofang's friends in Ganzhou also said that they didn't know this place, and the roommate knew it because her home was near the clock tower. Moreover, it has been turned into a tourist area to provide tourists with a place to entertain. However, according to Xiaofang's understanding, the flow of people here is not high, and most of them are usually visited by local residents.
Previously, the tallest clock tower in the world was the British Big Ben, located on the east side of the British Parliament, 95 meters high and 7 meters in diameter. The diameter of the "Harmony Clock Tower" dial is almost twice the size of Big Ben, and the minute hand is 7.8 meters long. The accuracy of the clock will be controlled within 30 seconds of error per month, and the global positioning system technology will be used to correct itself. Although there are not many people who know this place, it is still one of Ganzhou's iconic attractions, because this clock tower has created many world firsts and has great construction value.
