Grimeton Radio Station, Varberg
Varberg Radio Station (1922-24) in Grimeton, southern Sweden, is a well-preserved monument to early transatlantic radio communications. It consists of transmission equipment, including an antenna system on six 127-meter-high steel towers. Although no longer in regular use, the equipment remains in operational condition. The 109.9-hectare site includes the buildings that housed the original Alexanderson transmitter, including the tower with antenna, the shortwave transmitter with antenna, and a residential area with staff accommodation. Architect Carl Åkerblad designed the main building in a neoclassical style, and structural engineer Henrik Kreüger was responsible for the antenna tower, which was Sweden's tallest building at the time. The site is an outstanding example of the development of telecommunications and the only surviving example of a large-scale transmitting station based on pre-electronic technology.
Water Management System of Augsburg
The city of Augsburg's water management system evolved through several stages from the 14th century to the present day. It includes a network of canals, water towers built between the 15th and 17th centuries that housed pumps, a water-cooled butcher's hall, a system of three monumental fountains, and hydroelectric power stations that still provide sustainable energy today. The technical innovations that resulted from this water management system helped make Augsburg a pioneer in hydraulic engineering.
Walled City of Baku with the Shirvanshah's Palace and Maiden Tower

The 12th-century Maiden's Tower (Giz Galasy) was built on earlier structures dating from the 7th-6th centuries BC, and the 15th-century Palace of the Shirvanshahs is one of the jewels of Azerbaijan's architecture.
Tianta Lake Scenic Area
Tianjin Radio and Television Tower is located at the junction of Zijinshan Road and Jinliu Highway, south of Niegong Bridge, Hexi District, Tianjin. It is named after the first and last two characters of the tower, so it is abbreviated as "Tian Tower". The tower is 415.2 meters high, the highest in Asia today, and among the tallest towers in the world. It was built in 1991 and stands between the blue waves and the sky. It is the only "water tower" in the world. Its momentum is like a sword leaning against the sky, and it enjoys the reputation of "Tian Tower Spinning Clouds". Tian Tower integrates tourism, catering, entertainment, radio and television and other functions. It can broadcast 7 sets of color TV programs and 9 sets of FM stereo radio programs at the same time. The tower hall, observation hall, space rotating hall and 270-meter open-air sightseeing platform are open to tourists. In the observation hall, you can use the telescopes in every corner to take in the scenery of a hundred miles. The third floor is a revolving restaurant, which can accommodate more than 200 people at the same time. Every 45 minutes, the restaurant will rotate once. People can rotate with the hall and their eyes will move with the scenery. The feeling is indescribable. The Tianta Lake beside the Tianta Tower is equipped with a world-class leading-edge technology large-scale music and light fountain group and water curtain movie. Along the south bank of the lake is the longest artificial mountain in China, which has become a highlight of the Tianta Lake tourist area. During the day, flowers and plants complement the light of the lake and the shadow of the tower; at night, the night space is full of waves, and the glowing tower competes with the stars and the moon, making it difficult to distinguish between heaven and earth.
