Enjoying the fame of 'The First Scenery under Heaven', Yellow Crane Tower is one of the most renowned towers south of the Yangtze River. Its cultural significance led to its being made the symbol of Wuhan City. Yellow Crane Tower LegendAccording to legend, the Yellow Crane Tower was built by the family of an old pothouse owner living in Wuhan City long ago, named Old Xin. One day, a shabbily dressed Taoist priest came to the pothouse and asked for some wine. Old Xin paid no attention to him, but his son was very kind and gave the Taoist some wine without asking for money. The Taoist priest visited the pothouse regularly for half a year when one day the Taoist said to the son that in order to repay his kindness, he would like to draw a crane on the wall of the pothouse, which would dance at his request. When people in the city heard of this, they flocked to the pothouse to see the dancing crane. The Xin family soon became rich and they built the Yellow Crane Tower as a symbol of gratitude to the Taoist priest. History of Yellow Crane TowerThe Yellow Crane Tower has a very long and complicated history. It was first during the Three Kingdoms Period. Why was the Yellow Crane Tower built? Due to the ideal location, it was built by Sun Quan (182 - 252, King of Wu) as a watchtower for his army. After hundreds of years, its military function was gradually forgotten and the tower was enjoyed mainly as a picturesque location. During the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), many popular poems were written in praise of the Yellow Crane Tower. It was the Yellow Crane Tower poem that made the Tower so renowned and induced for people to visit. During the following centuries, it was destroyed and rebuilt several times. During the Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) Dynasties alone the tower was destroyed seven times and rebuilt seven times. In 1884, it was completely destroyed in a fire and was not rebuilt until 1981. Yellow Crane Tower ArchitectureThe Yellow Crane Tower

    In Wuhan for a few years, it is necessary to go to the Yellow Crane Tower. However, because the Yellow Crane Tower can see the Yangtze River, it is better to climb high when the weather is good. The park behind the Yellow Crane Tower is lush and can walk back.

    Although it is now rebuilt, it is still magnificent. The four famous buildings are well-deserved. They are much taller than Yueyang Building and much larger than Penglai Pavilion. Once the Yellow Crane is gone, the white clouds are empty!

    Very good experience, the child wears Hanfu, according to the clues given by the NPC to find one puzzle after another, very interesting! I really hope that all major cultural scenic spots are like looking for the immortal Yellow Crane Tower to learn! There is this immersive tour plan! It is too suitable for children to learn history and culture. The child said that he liked the whitest, because he was the kindest. The most careful.

    Overall satisfaction in all aspects, the attractions in the downtown area, modern and historical together on the banks of the Yangtze River mother river form a beautiful picture, climb the roof to overlook the first bridge on the Yangtze River. It is a pity that the short time to enter the park is not a deep experience and cannot be evaluated in depth!

    A good place, the scenery is very good. On the top of the Yellow Crane Tower, you can see the beautiful night view of Wuhan. The light show performance is also very beautiful. The staff of the scenic spot are also very serious and responsible. They also answer in time for places they don’t understand.

    It is worth playing and increase cultural confidence. Learn the background knowledge of ancient poetry and song! Appreciate the beautiful scenery at the moment! The whole scenic spot is reasonably designed, the environment is beautiful, and there are few play routines. You can rest assured to play!

    The old people have taken the Yellow Crane to go, and there is no Yellow Crane Tower here. The Yellow Crane Tower has been going for thousands of years, and it has been going up and down. The opposite is the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. The scenery is beautiful.
