The former site of Wanghuo Tower, located at No. 45, Guanxiang 1st Road, Shinan District, Qingdao, was built in 1905 for fire observation and alarm. In recent years, due to the filming of the hit TV series "Basic Law of Genius", Wanghuo Tower has become one of the Internet celebrity check-in places in Qingdao. However, although it is an Internet celebrity, it has not been opened for a long time.
According to reports, this old building is octagonal, 16 meters high, and has a construction area of 170 square meters. Along the direction of the inner spiral staircase, there are several small windows of rough stone platforms, which used to be the commanding height of Qingdao urban area and is a landmark building of Qingdao.
During the interview, Xiao Xu, a tourist, said that he came here to check in because he watched the TV series "Basic Law of Genius", and he planned to go in to have a look, but it was a pity to close the door. Regarding whether the building can be opened, Xiao Xu said, "I think it can still be opened regularly, and it is also convenient to manage, and it may not be good to keep it open, what if someone comes to destroy it." ”
It is reported that the former site of Wanghuo Tower is a cultural relics protection unit in Shinan District announced in 2009. According to the staff of the Shinan District Real Estate Management Center, when the exterior wall of this building was repaired before, he was responsible for part of the work. During the interview, the staff of the Shinan District Housing Management Office told the reporter that there is no plan to repair and open the Wanghuo Building in the near future. He said, "We can't decide these things, we still have to wait for the leaders above to make a decision." However, it does not dare to open at present, and there are no plans to open it for the time being. ”
Although it is not possible to enter the interior, the view of the tower from the outside has not been affected in any way. Coming here, taking a selfie and taking a photo, and then walking down the side path has become a regular action for most tourists to come here.
