The structure is shown in a three-quarter perspective, with fine engraving capturing its upturned eaves and ornate detailing. Surrounding the central motif, the legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) is arranged in a circular arc along the outer border. The date 1999 appears in the lower exergue beneath the tower.
