The observation tower is a tower shaped building structure with specific observation functions. The following is an introduction to it：

一、Structural characteristics

A watchtower usually consists of a tower body, observation platform, and summit facilities.

· Tower body: It has various shapes, commonly including square, circular, polygonal, etc. In terms of materials, steel, wood, or reinforced concrete are often used for construction. The steel tower body is sturdy, durable, and has high strength, making it suitable for building tall and long-term use watchtowers; Wooden tower bodies often give a sense of simplicity and naturalness, and are commonly found in areas such as natural scenic spots that require high landscape coordination; The tower body of reinforced concrete structure has good stability, strong corrosion resistance, can bear large weights, and has a long service life. The height of the tower varies greatly depending on usage requirements, ranging from tens of meters to several tens of meters.

· Observation platform: generally set at a suitable height on the tower body, with railings around the platform to ensure personnel safety. Its area is large enough for observers to freely move and place observation equipment on it, making it convenient for all-round observation.

· Climbing facilities: Stairs or ladders will be provided for personnel to climb onto the observation platform, and some will also be equipped with simple lifting devices as needed for quick access.

二、Functional purpose

· Forest fire prevention: widely used in forest areas, staff can climb up to observation towers and take advantage of the high viewing angle to observe large forest areas in real time, detect fires in a timely manner, and strive to take effective firefighting measures in the early stages of fire spread to minimize fire losses.

· Scenic Area Supervision: Within tourist attractions, visitors can view the distribution of tourists, the order of their visit, and the condition of the scenic spots through observation towers. This facilitates the timely allocation of resources and handling of emergencies by the scenic area management, ensuring the safety of tourists and the normal operation of the scenic area.

· Border Observation: Located in border areas, it can help border personnel observe border dynamics, monitor for any abnormal situations such as illegal border crossings, and safeguard national border security.

· Navigation: In coastal areas, watchtowers can assist sailors in observing sea conditions, detecting dangerous objects and passing ships in advance, which is beneficial for navigation safety and maritime traffic management.

· Meteorological observation: Some observation towers are equipped with corresponding meteorological observation equipment, which collects meteorological data such as temperature, wind direction, and wind speed from high places, providing reference for meteorological research and forecasting.

三、Construction site selection

· Wide field of view: Priority should be given to locations with higher terrain and no obvious obstruction around, which can ensure a wider range can be seen from the observation platform and achieve the best observation effect.

· Transportation convenience: Although its location should be conducive to observation, consideration should also be given to the transportation of personnel and materials in the future, as well as quick response in case of emergencies, so it is usually close to roads with certain traffic conditions.

· Safety: It is necessary to avoid areas prone to geological hazards, such as landslides and mudslides, while also considering safety factors such as lightning protection to ensure the safety of the watchtower itself and the personnel working on it.
