Yugu Platform

❤Recommended reason: Tianluo Ridge is located in the northwest of Ganzhou city, and it also has another name called Helan Mountain. Yugu Tower is located on Helan Mountain, which is the highest place of Ganzhou city in the Song Dynasty. From Yugu Tower, you can overlook the whole city of Ganzhou. It is named for its high and steep terrain and solitary posture. The famous poet Xin Qiji of the Southern Song Dynasty should be the best spokesperson for Yugu Tower. There is a statue of Xin Qiji in front of Yugu Tower. 'Under the Yugu Tower, the clear river water, how many tears of the passers-by in the middle', I believe many people know about Yugu Tower through this famous sentence of Xin Qiji. 👍Most recommended: Many literati and ink guests of all ages have climbed Yugu Tower and written poems about it. Among them, Xin Qiji's 'Barbarian Bodhisattva•Book Jiangxi Zao Kou Wall' is the most famous, which has been prosperous and declined for several times. 🌟Highlights: The current Yugu Tower was rebuilt in 1983 according to the style of the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. From Yugu Tower, you can overlook the whole view of Ganzhou city.
