What travelers say:
A good trip, about three or four in the afternoon into the Yueyang Building Scenic Area, I planned to come out before six o'clock and go to the Internet to say where to watch the sunset. When the whole scenic spot was almost finished, I met a staff canteen. There were some small tables under the shade of the trees in front. Then I went to Dongting Lake. The canteen can be opened to the outside world. We asked for a can of beer and waited for the sunset. It was very pleasant. After sunset, in the park, the surprise is that there are various performances.

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Yueyang Tower is located in Yueyang City, Hunan Province. Near the shore of Dongting Lake, the Pavilion is one of the Three Great Towers of Jiangnan. It was made famous by the author Fan Zhongyan’s Memorial to Yueyang Tower. When you climb the tower, you will overlook the misty and watery expanse of Dongting Lake. If you are familiar with Fan's Memorial to Yueyang Tower, one of its famous lines may echo in your ears: “First be concerned with the worries of the world and then you can rejoice in its joys.” In addition to climbing the tower to gaze into the distance and reflect on ancient times, the architectural structure of the tower itself is also worth a look. The entire structure is built without a single metal nail or support beam.

Yueyang Tower Photos: Trip Moments
The vast waters of Dongting Lake, the ancient Yueyang Tower through the agesYueyang Tower is located in Yueyanglou Street, Yueyanglou District, Yueyang City, Hunan Province, situated by the Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River, built on top of the ancient Yueyang City's Yueyang Gate. It is known as one of the 'Four Great Towers of Ancient China', alongside the Yellow Crane Tower, Tengwang Pavilion, and Penglai Pavilion. In the 19th year of Jian'an during the Eastern Han Dynasty (214 AD), the General of Crossing the River, Lu Su, began the construction of the Yueyang Tower, which was the predecessor of the present tower; during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was known as Baling City Tower; in the early Tang Dynasty, it was called the Southern Tower, and the 'Poet Immortal' Li Bai was the first to refer to it as Yueyang Tower in his poetry, a name that has been used ever since; the existing main structure of Yueyang Tower was mainly rebuilt in the 6th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1880 AD). Historically, Yueyang Tower has been famous for its unique geographical location, magnificent natural scenery, and grand architectural structure. Many literary masters through the ages, such as Zhang Jiuling, Meng Haoran, Li Bai, Du Fu, Han Yu, Bai Juyi, and others, have ascended the tower and left behind numerous famous works, contributing to Yueyang Tower's profound cultural heritage. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the governor of Yuezhou, Teng Zijing, renovated Yueyang Tower and invited his good friend Fan Zhongyan to write the timeless masterpiece 'Memorial to Yueyang Tower', which further established Yueyang Tower as a political symbol of diligent governance and concern for the world. Due to fires, wars, and other reasons, Yueyang Tower has been destroyed and rebuilt many times throughout history, evolving from a military tower to a city gate tower and then to a scenic tower, now an important part of the national AAAAA-level scenic area 'Yueyang Tower-Junshan Island'. The main tower faces east and west, with a height of 19.72 meters, three bays wide and deep, surrounded by a gallery, with a depth of 14.56 meters, a width of 17.24 meters, covering an area of 251 square meters, topped with glazed yellow tiles, and is a three-story, four-pillar, flying eaves, helmet-top style pure wooden structure. Around the main tower is a modern Chinese-style garden. In January 1988, Yueyang Tower was announced by the State Council as the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units. On January 30, 2005, Yueyang Tower was selected as one of the top ten cultural heritages of Hunan.SerendipitousJourney

Yueyang Tower【Yueyang Yueyang Tower】Dongting is the world's water, Yueyang is the world's tower||⏰October 8, 2023 🏮Yueyang Tower, located on Dongting North Road in Yueyanglou District, Yueyang City, Hunan Province, is situated atop the western gate wall of the ancient city of Yueyang, close to the banks of Dongting Lake, overlooking Dongting Lake and facing Junshan Island. It was first built in the 20th year of Jian'an during the Eastern Han Dynasty (215 AD), and has been repeatedly renovated over the generations. The existing structure follows the form and pattern of the reconstruction in the 6th year of the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty (1880 AD). Yueyang Tower became famous due to the Northern Song Dynasty's Teng Zongliang's renovation and his invitation to his friend Fan Zhongyan to write "The Record of Yueyang Tower." It has been known since ancient times as 'Dongting is the world's water, Yueyang is the world's tower,' and along with the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei, and the Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi, it is known as one of the 'Three Great Towers in the South of the Yangtze River.' It is one of the 'Ten Great Historical and Cultural Towers in China,' one of the ancient Four Great Towers, and is known as 'the world's number one tower.' 🏮The main building of Yueyang Tower is rectangular, 19.42 meters high, 14.54 meters deep, and 17.42 meters wide. It is a three-story, four-pillar, flying eave, helmet-top, pure wooden structure. The four nanmu golden pillars in the tower go straight to the top, surrounded by corridors, beams, rafters, and purlins that are interlocked to form a whole. The top is covered with glazed yellow tiles, and the structure is solemn and generous. The first floor of Yueyang Tower hangs a carved screen of 'The Record of Yueyang Tower' and other poems, couplets, and carvings; the second floor's center hangs a purple sandalwood carved screen with 'The Record of Yueyang Tower' written by the Qing Dynasty calligrapher Zhang Zhao; the third floor hangs a carved screen of Mao Zedong's handwritten poem 'Ascending Yueyang Tower' by Du Fu, and the eaves columns hang a couplet 'Water and sky blend in one color, wind and moon are boundless' written by 'Changgeng Li Bai,' which has a certain ornamental value. As the only ancient building among the three great towers that has maintained its original structure, the unique helmet-top structure reflects the intelligence of the ancient working people and the exquisite design skills of skilled craftsmen. 🏮In January 1988, Yueyang Tower was announced by the State Council as the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units; in August of the same year, Yueyang Tower was listed as a national key scenic spot protection area. On January 30, 2005, Yueyang Tower was selected as one of the top ten cultural heritages of Hunan.

It is highly recommended to bring your own stamp book, as there are many stamping points inside Yueyang Tower, so don't miss out.VictoriaMcDermott00

Here is a quote from the original text: 'When it comes to spring and the scenery is bright, the waves are not shocked, the sky is up and down, and the green is ten thousand acres; the sand gulls fly together, the brocade scales swim; the shore is full of orchids, and the green is lush.' This description of the spring scenery of Dongting Lake can still evoke people's endless beautiful imagination of Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake.Luna_1_Winterthorn-52

A good trip, about three or four in the afternoon into the Yueyang Building Scenic Area, I planned to come out before six o'clock and go to the Internet to say where to watch the sunset. When the whole scenic spot was almost finished, I met a staff canteen. There were some small tables under the shade of the trees in front. Then I went to Dongting Lake. The canteen can be opened to the outside world. We asked for a can of beer and waited for the sunset. It was very pleasant. After sunset, in the park, the surprise is that there are various performances.
As one of the three famous buildings in Jiangnan, although Yueyang Building is the shortest, there are really many programs at night and there are many to watch. I recommend everyone to take a look at Yueyang Building, which is more connotative than the other two Yueyang Buildings.
Yueyang Building is still worth recommending, with a long history, the building has been through five dynasties, different dynasties, different styles and shapes, many famous poets have left a lot of poetry here and have remained to this day.
The tour guide surnamed Wu patiently explained the whole process. We listened to the taste. This tour of Yueyang Building left us with good memories.
Yueyang Building is a famous historical and cultural building in China. It is located on Junshan Island in Yueyang City, Hunan Province. It is known as one of the "three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River". Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Building Notes" made Yueyang Building famous, and also made Yueyang Building one of the important symbols of Chinese culture. Visiting Yueyang Tower will make people feel the weight of history and the profound cultural heritage. Stepping up Yueyang Tower and overlooking Dongting Lake, I think of the scene where Fan Zhongyan wrote "Yueyang Tower Notes" here, and I can't help but feel thousands of emotions. Standing upstairs in Yueyang will make people forget the troubles of the world, as if they are in a pure world, which is also the charm of Chinese culture. In addition, Junshan Island where Yueyang Tower is located is also a good place to visit. The natural scenery of the island is beautiful, the mountains and clear waters are beautiful, and people seem to be in a fairyland. There are also historical and cultural relics on the island, such as Yuewang Temple, Liu Wei Xilin, etc., which makes people feel the edification and baptism of history. Overall, visiting Yueyang Tower and Junshan Island will make people feel the vastness and depth of Chinese culture and the weight of history, and will also make people cherish the present and feel life.
Humanistic landscapes suggest hiring an explanation, otherwise you will feel that the yard is not much to visit. This is a good place to see Dongting Lake. If you are interested in these cultures, then it is definitely a place worth visiting many times, except for the more expensive fare, the others are worth it. It makes sense to buy a stamped cultural and creative product in the park.
It was my wish to go to Yueyang Tower for many years. Today I finally witnessed the style of Yueyang Tower! Going to Yueyang Tower to face the Dongting Lake of Haohao Tang Tang, I unconsciously remembered Fan Zhongyan's Yueyang Tower! Think of his first worries and worries, and then the joy and joy of the world! To make a suggestion, the Wuchaolou view has copied the Yueyang Buildings of each dynasty to show everyone very well, that is, the text is too far away, you can't see clearly, you can change it to the shore.
