The main building of Tianhan Tower has seven floors outside and nine floors inside with five eaves. It is a 69-meter-high Han Dynasty pavilion that combines the imitation Han style with the high-upturned eaves of traditional Hanzhong architecture.Tianhan is the elegant name of Hanzhong City in Shaanxi Province. Hanzhong is surrounded by Daba Mountain in the south, Qinling Mountains in the north, and Han River in the middle. The Han River has always been considered to be a river corresponding to the Milky Way in the sky, so Hanzhong is also called “Tianhan Tower”. “Shuowen Jiezi” says; “Lou, double-story house.” A building is a house with more than two floors in ancient buildings, also known as a double-story house. The floor plan of a building is mostly narrow and curved, which is obviously different from the pavilion. However, later because they are all double-story buildings, they are often called pavilions. Buildings often occupy a secondary position in the building complex, such as the Buddhist scripture building, the back building and wing building in the palace of the princes. Tianhan Tower is the former site of Xingyuan Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty. It was called Nanlou or Lingxiao Pavilion in ancient times. It has a long-standing reputation and has enjoyed a high reputation more than a thousand years ago. Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, once held a gathering of poets here and wrote poems to record the grand occasion of the event. Fan Chengda, a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, once praised that “Lingxiao Pavilion, overlooking Hanchuan under Zhongliangshan Temple, is a scenic spot in the county.” After the vicissitudes of time, the ancient Lingxiao Pavilion no longer exists. The location of the new Tianhan Tower is in the southwest of Hanzhong City, in Area B of Tianhan Cultural Park, covering an area of ​​45 acres and a total construction area of ​​35,500 square meters.
