It broadcasts five television and two radio channels.[4]

History

It was completed in 1999 after three years of construction.[4] The cost of construction was over US$13 million.[5]

The immediate vicinity of the tower has since been redeveloped as a tourist attraction and renamed "Shennong City", and as part of the project the tower was renamed the "Shennong Tower".[6][5]

Some redevelopment was carried out in 2006 to improve fire safety and add a ballroom to the lobby.[3]
