A considerable height when looking at close. Somehow it does not have an SF-like atmosphere.


A cafeteria and a bar are gathering in the surroundings and a flashy signboard is lining up.

It is an 8-storey relaxation facility.


In the surroundings there are some remains of burnt buildings ... ....
