往高处造塔似乎是人类的天性，从巴比伦塔开始，我们没有停止过这样的脚步。而今天全球又有多少这样的去处呢？让小编带你一一看来。

　　Do you trust a piece of glass about the thickness of two fingers tokeep you from crashing thousands of feet to the ground below? Toronto'sCN Tower, which stands over 1,815 tall, offers stunning 360-degree views of the city – and a stomach-turning view straight down to the street through a glass floor。

　　位于加拿大多伦多的CN塔高达1815米，为游客提供360°的全景观测，并且！它的观景塔地板是玻璃——只有两指宽的……玻璃！

　　The thoroughly modern Forest Tower is just as visually stunning as the views it provides of the conservation area at the Schovenhorst Estatein the Netherlands. The design includes spaces and features for variousactivities including peepholes, a climbing net and even a small performance space。

　　位于荷兰的森林塔设计非常奇妙，塔上还提供了观测孔、攀爬网、甚至一个表演台。

　　If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to float 110 stories over Chicago, the Sky deck at the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower is the closest you’re likely to get. With a glass floor and glass walls on three sides, these “glass balconies” provide unparalleled views that will give the acrophobic nightmares。

　　位于芝加哥的威利斯跳伞塔，是为游客提供芝加哥全景的好去处。同样也是有玻璃地板以及玻璃包厢，恐高症患者慎入！

　　There’s no way to enjoy the birds of the Amazon quite like observing them from one of Ecuador’s many extremely tall bird watching towers –if you’re brave enough to climb them. But finally getting to the topand finding it twisted from the wind and held together with a string,like one traveling couple did, might be enough to sway your confidence in the structure’s sturdiness。

　　亚马逊丛林的观鸟塔是观测亚马逊流域奇妙生态的绝佳视点。不过需要提醒大家的是，这座塔可不像之前那几座那么结实，等你爬到顶端，你会感到整个塔身稍微随风晃动。够不够胆，就看自己了。

　　Like the Willis Tower Skydeck, Eureka Skydeck 88 in Melbourne, Australia offers views you just can’t get anywhereelse in the city. But, it’s not for the faint of heart. 940 feet above the ground, “The Edge”is a glass cube that juts out nine feet from the building. It’s the highest public vantage point in a building in the Southern Hemisphere。

　　澳大利亚墨尔本的尤利卡88观景台和芝加哥那一座非常类似，也是在观景台边缘设置了玻璃房子。这座塔同时也是南半球最高的塔。

　　The shell-like wooden Korkeasaari Look out Tower at Helsinki’s Korkeasaari Zoo mimics the large natural enclosures that the animalsare held in, and is made of 72 long curved wood battens fastened withover 600 bolted joints. Ville Hara’s concept for the tower was the winning entry in a competition to design an innovative, artistic tower for the zoo。

　　芬兰赫尔辛基也不放过建塔的机会。这座盖在动物园里的木质的壳型建筑外型颇具新意，由72根弯曲的木头和600个接合点组成。
