Hey Asia-Pacific fam! 👋 As we gear up for the 2025 APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Gyeongju, let’s take a quick detour to Moscow’s iconic Spasskaya Tower—your global timekeeper. ⏰✨
The tower is the main tower on the Kremlin’s east wall, peeking over Red Square. At 71 meters tall (ruby star on top included), it’s the star of Moscow’s skyline and rings in the New Year with its world-famous chimes. Imagine syncing your smartphone to that countdown! 📱🎉
Spasskaya isn’t just a clock tower: in 2022, it graced Russia’s new 100-ruble note, and back in 2019, Russia minted a coin marking 70 years of diplomatic ties with the Chinese mainland. Talk about cultural currency! 💸🤝
Whether you’re planning your next travel vlog or just love nerding out on epic architecture, Spasskaya Tower is a must-see—real or virtual. Keep following our APEC Stories for more cool cross-border collabs and culture bites. 🌏❤️
