Unlock the same "Thousand-Mile View" perspective as Wang Zhihuan!

Location: Guanque Tower, Yongji, Shanxi "The sun sets behind the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea" — the pinnacle Tang poem we memorized in elementary school, finally experienced in person! Climb to the top of Guanque Tower, one of China's Four Great Towers, and see the Yellow River spread beneath like a golden belt. At sunset, when the light melts like gold, you instantly understand the awe that inspired the great poet’s brush! 📜 (Photo tips below 👇) 💥 Three immersive experiences in one: ✅ Immersive poetry theater At 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM daily, the tower hosts the holographic light show "Poetry Chanting Guanque Tower" 🎭, where Li Bai and Wang Zhihuan "recite poetry across space," their flowing robes stepping out from the murals! ✅ Unlock the best Yellow River viewing spot On the west side of the 4th floor is the "Jimu Platform"! Use the telescope 🔭 to see the outline of Mount Hua in Shaanxi across the river. If you're lucky, you can capture flocks of Yellow River water birds flying into the frame 🕊️ ✅ Collect exclusive cultural souvenirs Get a free "Poetry Stamp Set" ✒️ at the cultural shop on the 1st floor, and buy a "Yellow River Flows into the Sea" ice cream 🍦—posing with the replica mural makes for a fun photo! 📸 Photo secrets: ➊ Wear Hanfu and stand in the front square! Shoot upward to capture the flying eaves and blue sky, instantly transporting you to the flourishing Tang Dynasty ➋ At the red railing corner on the 3rd floor, look sideways at the Yellow River—your silhouette will be stunning ➌ Rush to the top an hour before sunset! The warm light spills over the Yellow River’s surface, making every original photo look cinematic 🚗 Lazy traveler tips: ▫️ One hour from Yuncheng city center, parking 10 RMB/day ▫️ Nearby attraction: Half an hour to Puji Temple, the prototype site of "Romance of the Western Chamber," to pray for love 💘 and touch the Echo Wall of the Tang Dynasty’s Yingying Tower! ▫️ Must-eat in Yongji: Recommended "Yellow River Fish Restaurant" for oil-splashed noodles and Yellow River carp served two ways 🐟 🎫 Tickets: 50 RMB (half price for students! Free for seniors) ⏰ Open: 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM (last entry to the tower at 5:30 PM) 🌇 Golden hour: 4:00 PM until closing! Fewer people and soft light Who says Shanxi is only about ancient buildings? The thrill of climbing the tower and gazing at the mountains and rivers is the awakening of the Chinese spirit! Comment below if you want to team up for a Hanfu photoshoot! 📢
