"Wherever you are, whenever you are, if you are willing to look back, I am always waiting" The Eiffel Tower, also known as the Paris Tower, was built in 1889 and designed by Gustave Eiffel. It was originally built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution and to host the World Expo. It is made of 18,038 wrought iron parts, precisely connected by 2.5 million rivets, and is 324 meters high (including antennas). It was the tallest man-made building in the world at that time, showing France's industrial strength and innovative spirit. Its hollow structure design is unique, and the four tower legs gradually narrow from the ground to form a perfect tapered outline, like a steel ladder leading to the sky.
