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.

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.
Tianjin Fengshan Yaowang Ancient Temple
Fengshan Yaowang Temple is located in Wang Village, Dasi Town, and faces Jinzibo Highway to the west. It was first built in the second year of Yongchun in the Tang Dynasty (683 AD). After historical changes, it was rebuilt again in 1997. It is attached with Yaowang Lake Park and Rare Birds Garden. It is now a 3A-level tourist attraction and a district-level cultural relic protection unit. This temple consists of the mountain gate, front hall, middle hall, back hall, east and west side halls, bell tower and drum tower. The ancient temple is also commonly known as Fengshan Yaowang Temple and Fengwo Temple. Fengshan means there is no mountain. The earth is piled up to form a platform, and the temple is built on the platform. For example, Tianzhong Mountain in Henan, which is "pile up earth and pile up stones", is "the mountain is not high". This ancient Yaowang Temple, which was first built in the second year of Yongchun in the Tang Dynasty (683 AD), has been rebuilt several times and has gone through more than 1,300 years. After the Ming Dynasty alone, there have been seven major repairs: in the 15th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the original earth temple accidentally caught fire, and the surrounding villagers raised funds to rebuild it. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, as the temple became more popular, the earthen buildings were demolished and a main hall with a brick and wood structure was built. This was the third expansion. In the reign of Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, the fourth renovation was carried out, which repaired the main hall and added the middle and rear halls. In the 14th year of the Republic of China, the temple caught fire again and burned the statues. Three years later, the fifth renovation was carried out, and the east and west side halls were built. In the 32nd year of the Republic of China, the sixth renovation was carried out with donations. All the statues were sculpted, and the bell and drum towers were built. In recent decades, especially after the Cultural Revolution, the buildings of the Medicine King Temple have been gradually destroyed, and even the original earth platform has been basically razed to the ground. Since the early 1990s, the temple platform has been rebuilt. In 2000, a new Fengshan Medicine King Ancient Temple appeared on the original site. The ancient temple was originally built to commemorate the Medicine King Sun Simiao. Later, with the evolution of history, it became a Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian temple that "integrates three religions". For thousands of years, every temple fair (from the 20th to the 28th of the fourth lunar month) is crowded with people from all directions. The long history and culture make the "Fengshan Yaowang Ancient Temple" unique. It integrates folk culture, medical culture, historical culture, and religious culture. It shows the ancient Chinese saints and sages and medical saints who have made outstanding contributions to the Chinese nation in front of people, and interprets the glorious course of the development and progress of the Chinese nation with a scientific spirit. At the same time, the temple is the largest and most unique ancient building complex in Tianjin. The Music Fountain Fitness Square of the Fengshan Yaowang Ancient Temple Tourist Scenic Area covers an area of 35 acres and a construction area of 6,000 square meters. Every night, 3,200 colorful lights will shoot water columns into the sky under the action of high-pressure water pumps with beautiful music melodies, which is very spectacular. Thousands of tourists sing and dance with beautiful music melodies, making the cultural life of tourist groups and ordinary people rich and colorful.
