Shanghai Bund Weather Signal Station

The chic building that you must see when you come to the Bund is the Bund signal station. [Interesting] The road on which it faces Yan'an East Road was an artichoke, the boundary river of the British Concession and the French Concession. This signal station is also jointly funded by the UK and France. [View] It has been migrated as a whole, but it is still beautiful. Very beautiful.

The Bund Meteorological Signal Station is located in the south section of the Shanghai Bund not far from the Shiliupu Pier. The meteorological signal station has a history of more than 100 years. It is a cultural relics protection unit in Shanghai. The red and white signal station echoes the Oriental Pearl Tower on the other side of the Pujiang River.

The Bund signal tower, originally built in 1884, has two functions of time reporting and meteorological forecasting, mainly responsible for "broadcasting" information from the Xujiahui Observatory. In the era of no wireless broadcast, the signal tower mimics the practice of the Greenwich Observatory in London, and reports the time by dropping the ball. Now it is an excellent historical protection building in Shanghai. It was not in the current position before and was moved! !

The signal station is here on the Bund of Yan'an East Road, and there is no practical application function now.

[View] Beautiful [Fun] Ordinary [Cost-effective] High
