China’s gigantic 'tower of knowledge'

XI’AN: A unique book tower was recently unveiled in Xi’an, capital of China’s northwest Shaanxi province and is every book lover’s dream.

Standing at 11 meters tall, the tower is made up of books that are glued together on an iron plank to hold the structure still.

Known as the ‘tower of knowledge’, the structure was built within a span of one month and boasts around 14 tons of books.

The gigantic tower was erected at a design college affiliated to Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology and has been attracting bookworms from all over the country ever since.
