Guăngbō Tower (formerly the offices of KLIA) is located in the Little China district of central Night City.
History[]
Prior to the Fourth Corporate War, this building was used as a broadcast station for KLIA 99.2, an old radio station that did news and radio drama. Over the following years, the broadcast station was abandoned by KLIA, and eventually incorporated into the Little China Combat Zone.
In 2044, the Little China Redevelopment Association, in their quest to revitalize the district, bought this old building and named it Guăngbō Tower. The structure was very run down, but the LCRA begun to rehabilitate it. By 2045, the old building was not in a much better shape, but thanks to the rehabilitation, around twenty new tenants had moved in, setting up a medical clinic, a public library, an arcade, and a variety of small businesses.
Unbeknownst to the LCRA, the top floor of the building, which housed the Virtex's Virtuality Venue arcade, had been turned into the base of operations for the Reaper, a rogue AI that had also killed all of the establishment's staff. A group of mercenaries managed to foil the AI plans there, and liberated the place from his control.[1]
Layout[]
In 2045, Guăngbō Tower was an old thirty story-tall skyscraper. Most of the building lied derelict, and the ventilation system didn't work properly, but the process of rehabilitation was ongoing, with tenants occupying only thirteen of the thirty floors.[1]
Floor 01: Lobby[]
Behind the main doors was a large lobby with holo-scenes on the walls that showed ancient Chinese landscape, and speakers that played inoffensive older Cantopop. Stairs and elevators were located in this area. The lobby had a front desk where a receptionist could direct and explain to visitors about the tower's different businesses.
Floor 02[]
Occupied by small businesses.
Floor 03[]
A medical clinic was located on the third floor.
Floor 09[]
Occupied by small businesses.
Floor 10: Ling Po Public Library[]
This floor contained the Ling Po Public Library, which was financed by David Ling Po. The LCRA named the new establishment after him, representing his investment in the future of Little China. The library offered many services to the community, but it was only accessible to the district's residents.
Floor 15[]
Occupied by small businesses.
Floor 23[]

Floor 30: Virtex's Virtuality Venue[]
Located at the top floor, Virtex's Virtuality Venue was one of the most popular attractions in Little China. It offered a mixture of new and classic games. Unfortunately, in 2045 it was closed for renovations. This floor housed the control center for the radio transmitter on top of the tower.
