The program includes traditional dances created especially for the monument, each lasting 7 to 8 minutes and performed to the sounds of cymbals and traditional drums. Demonstrations of spins and acrobatics are also planned.
In addition, we want to remind you that the Tower is developing numerous initiatives to improve its visitor services, particularly for Chinese clients, including signposts in Chinese since late 2019, an online showcase page on Wechat since last year, a mobile app in Chinese to be released in February 2020, and more payment options like WeChat and AliPay coming in spring 2020 for online ticketing.
