History

It was completed in 1999 after three years of construction. The cost of construction was over US$13 million.

The immediate vicinity of the tower has since been redeveloped as a tourist attraction and renamed "Shennong City", and as part of the project the tower was renamed the "Shennong Tower".

Some redevelopment was carried out in 2006 to improve fire safety and add a ballroom to the lobby.
