It was certified by Guinness World Records as the world's most slender tower when it opened in 2016.
The tower's glass pod is 10 times the size of a standard London Eye capsule.
The structure is powered by renewable energy, utilizing regenerative braking technology during the pod's descent.
The pod is made from 24 curved glass segments, providing an unobstructed view of the coastline.
The tower can withstand wind speeds significantly higher than the strongest recorded storms in the region due to its aerodynamic design.
