Park features

You can really understand the mystery of nature that the earth turns obliquely between the twelve signs of the zodiac and the sun swings directly between the Tropic of cancer. Through this hole, the sunlight is directly on the Guiping point of the map of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The east-west direction of the sign is inlaid with a 5 cm wide and 20 meter long Tropic of cancer sign indicating line, which is also the boundary between tropical and temperate zones. Standing here, you can step on the tropical zone with one foot,

The other foot is in the temperate zone. Standing at the Guiping point in the middle of the sign, the voice is very loud. It's like using a microphone. Whispering between the north and the south, which are 32 meters apart, is as clear as a telephone. It stretches out along the East-West chord, and the loud voice gradually weakens. It's very interesting. This is the only sign tower with strong echo among the nine Tropic of cancer signs in the world.

Guiping ancient county is famous for its cultural relics and beautiful scenery. The establishment of the marker tower of the Tropic of cancer in Guiping is of great significance to the popularization of science, the education of national conditions and the development of tourism.
