Qingchuange, also known as Qingchuan Tower, is located in Qingchuan Street, Hanyang District, Wuhan City

Qingchuange, also known as Qingchuan Tower, is located in Qingchuan Street, Hanyang District, Wuhan City, situated on Yugongji at the foot of the east of Turtle Mountain on the north bank of the Yangtze River, facing the Han River to the north and the Yangtze River to the east. It is hailed as the 'first famous building in Chutian' and is currently the only scenic spot in Wuhan standing by the river. As soon as you enter the Qingchuange Scenic Area, the first thing you see is the 'Three Chus Victory', passing through this door, what comes into view is the 'Jingchu Xiongfeng' stele, climbing up the stairs, you will see the 'Yujixing Palace' built to commemorate Dayu's water control. On the left is the 'Iron Gate', in the middle is the 'Yu Stele Pavilion', and by the river is the 'Qingchuange'. The current Qingchuange was rebuilt in 1985, according to historical photos and site range during the Guangxu period, the rebuilt is a reinforced concrete imitation wood structure, two floors, 17 meters high, granite base, red walls and vermilion pillars, the whole body is painted with color paintings. The doors, windows and railings are all made of wood, and the color paintings inside the building are drawn by highly skilled craftsmen using traditional techniques, so the building is permeated with a simple and elegant atmosphere and a touch of elegance from the inside out. Climbing up the Qingchuange, after a round, sitting on the side of the building, you can overlook the majestic Yangtze River Bridge, the vast Yangtze River, the looming Yellow Crane Tower, the flute-breaking ships, in front of you, presents a beautiful picture of the magnificent Wuhan River City. We climb the tower here, watch the vast smoke and waves, browse the scenic spots and historical sites, and explore the legend of Dayu's water control. Feel the uninterrupted river breeze blowing slowly, it's really comfortable. I think, it's rare in life to have such a quiet place, here is not only a great place to taste the scenery of Wuhan, enjoy the cool river breeze, but also a good place to take pictures, this is really to understand, why the ancients like to climb high and write poems, 'how many things in the past and present, are all in the laughter'.
