The geographic center of the Asian continent is referred to as "Yaxin" for short. In 1992, after scientific calculations by the Institute of Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, it was determined that 87°19'52" east longitude and 43°40'37" north latitude were the geographic center of the Asian continent.
The north gate of the scenic spot uses a grid structure with eagles spreading its wings to show the soaring of Asia. On both sides of the main road, there are glass and steel three-dimensional sculptures with specific images of Asian countries, which can be described as the concentration of the customs of all countries. After crossing the main road, you can see Yaxin Tower. The stainless steel ball on the top of the tower represents the earth, and there is a vertical center under the steel ball, which is directly facing the heart of the miniature image of Asia in the center of the tower base, indicating the location of the "sub-heart". The shape of the tower body is the first letter "A" of the English word Asia (ASIA), which embodies the humanistic thought of "the sky is round and the earth is harmonious."
At the beginning of the measurement, Yaxin just erected a wooden signpost, and now it has developed into a scenic spot. Looking around from Yaxin, which stands at an altitude of 1,280 meters, there is Bogda Ice Peak in the east, Tianshan Mountains in the south, Toutun River in the west, and the Junggar Basin in the north.
