Located on the central axis of the museum, the 20.67-meter-tall tower was the highest building in the city during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It is also a reflection of the Manchu habit of living in the highlands for the sake of military defense and overviews.
The Phoenix Tower closed in 1990 for safety reasons due to dangerous narrow stairs.
