The current structure was reconstructed in the sixth year of the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty. Yueyang Tower became famous due to the Northern Song Dynasty's Teng Zongliang's reconstruction and Fan Zhongyan's composition of 'Memorial to Yueyang Tower', earning the reputation of 'Dongting has the best water in the world, Yueyang has the best tower in the world'. It is known as the 'Number One Tower in the World' and, along with Yellow Crane Tower and Pavilion of Prince Teng, is one of the 'Three Great Towers South of the Yangtze River'.

This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower. Remember the generation of the great writer Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower", the teacher in the high school Chinese textbook asked that the back must be cooked, so, but was very familiar, but soon forgot, and at this moment, boarded Yueyang Building Looking at Dongting Lake and Junshan, I am filled with emotion. "The waves are not shocked, the sky is shining, the sky is a hundred hectares; the sand gulls gather, the scales swim; the shores are Ting Lan, the Yu Yu Qing Qing. Or the long smoke, the moon, the floating light, the shadows, the shadows, the fishermen reply This music is very extreme, Dengslou also, there is a heart and a happy, insulting and forgetting, the wine is in the wind, its ecstasy." The beauty can not be described in words. Unfortunately, it was nearly six o'clock when I went to Yueyang Tower. The Yueyang Building was closed, but I hurried, but I caught up with the sunset of Dongting Lake, and I was as good as I was. Yueyang Tower is one of the three famous buildings in ancient China, so I want to ask, do you know the names of the other two buildings?
