The splendid pavilion in Nanjing, known as one of the four famous towers in the south of the Yangtze River

Yuejiang Tower, located on the summit of Lion Mountain and the banks of the Yangtze River in Nanjing, was intended to be built by the founder of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, but was not completed, with only the foundation of Yuejiang Tower being constructed before work stopped. It was not until six hundred years later that it was finally completed. It is famous for the 'Record of Yuejiang Tower' written by the early Ming literati Song Lian, and is one of China's top ten historic and cultural famous towers, also known as 'the number one tower in the south of the Yangtze River'. From the top of Yuejiang Tower, one can have a distant view of the main city of Nanjing, overlook the Yangtze River, see the famous Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge and its bridgehead fortress, and even take photos of trains crossing the river. Now, to ascend Yuejiang Tower, there is no need to climb the mountain. By purchasing an elevator ticket, visitors can take an escalator directly to the top of the mountain. Standing still on the way up, one can enjoy the mountain scenery, which is particularly comfortable and pleasant. On the third floor of Yuejiang Tower, there is a giant porcelain painting named 'Zheng He's Voyages to the Western Seas'. The painting is 12.8 meters high and 8 meters wide, and is the largest Jingdezhen porcelain painting in China. It reflects the history of Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Seas from 1405 to 1433. The painting is composed of 12 sections, detailing the navigator Zheng He's construction of treasure ships according to the orders of Emperor Yongle, his pilgrimage to the holy land in Arabia, and his promotion of Chinese civilization and commodity trade in various countries of the Western Seas, depicting the historical scenes of Zheng He's voyages in a panoramic style. Transportation Information: Take bus routes 10, 12, 21, 54, etc. to get there.
