REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, TEHRAN-- Magnificent was the fist impression from people when they saw Milad Tower. The building lifted and seemed to poke the sky.

Milad Tower has height up to 435 meters. The building is located in between Qarp City and Gisha Disctrict in Tehran, the capital of Iran.

The eighth rectangle built by Mohammad Reza Hafezi became one of the icons of the people in Tehran and also Iran overall, as we known has Persian style. The building structure consists of five main parts, including the foundation, the transition structure (lobby), the shaft, the head structure, and the antenna pole.

Milad Tower is slightly higher than Kuala Lumpur Tower in Malaysia. It also became the tallest tower in Iran and becomes the sixth highest telecommunication tower in the world.

This multipurpose building has officially opened since 2009. Not only domestic tourists, but also foreign tourists often come to Milad Tower. They wanted to see the city view of Theran from the top of the tower.

At night, the glitter of lights flashing from every building and the light from the passing of the vehicle makes our eyes feel comfortable. In fact, the strong winds and cold air in Iran, in mid January did not stop the visitors enjoyed the atmosphere above the tower.

For the information, December until March is winter season in Iran. The country that located flanked by the Persian Gulf and Caspian Lake is hit by the snow. Even, in those months rain often showered.

At Milad Tower, there is a restaurant with a variety of menus. The tower is part of a complex that called International Trade and Convention Center of Tehran. On the right and left side of building there are many apartment building, hotels, and offices, also city parks.

Public parks

Meanwhile, when we discuss about city parks, Tehran has many beautiful public parks. The parks also are equipped with various facilities, started from potable water taps, to special play arena for kids, and fitness facilities.

There are also pools and many kinds of flowers that arranged well. The parks is deliberately located on the side of the road, where the traffic flow of vehicles to pedestrians is quite crowded across the park. Many pedestrians took a break here while enjoying the atmosphere of the park.

In Tehran, we can find many parks, and it is easier than when we are looking for shops, said one of Indonesia Consulate in Iran staffs, Yanti.

The beautiful existence of the parks in this city cast the tiredness away. The roaring sound of the vehicle engine and the sight of the city streets of Tehran seems to be replaced by the beautiful flowers that bloom in some of the city's parks.

One of the city's largest parks is Teleghani Park and Abo-Atash Park and Banader Park. The two parks are connected by a bridge called the Tabiat Bridge. The construction of a highly monumental bridge was built in 2010 and completed in 2014, designed by Diba Tensile Architecture.
