Yellow Crane Tower | The foremost tower under heaven

| The foremost tower under heaven. Yellow Crane Tower | The foremost tower under heaven A friend from the past bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, descending to Yangzhou amidst the fireworks of March. When in Wuhan, one must visit the Yellow Crane Tower. Photo tips: The photos were taken in Yellow Crane Tower Park this May. Try to keep the background as clean as possible, with the blue sky and the yellow structure of the tower, the colors are vivid, and it's a great shot no matter how you take it~ You can choose the Yellow Crane sculpture in front of the tower as the foreground~ There are also two other treasure spots for photography, but unfortunately, my camera ran out of battery and I couldn't record them. One is at the sentry post on the Yangtze River Bridge, where you can capture the train and the Yellow Crane Tower in the same frame; the other is the C exit of the 'Simenkou Yellow Crane Tower' station on Subway Line 5. The original site of the Yellow Crane Tower was on Snake Hill in Hubei, Wuhan, at the head of Huanghe Jie, and it is said to have been first built during the Three Kingdoms period. It was destroyed and rebuilt many times over the dynasties, and it was last burned down in 1884. The Yellow Crane Tower that we see today was completed in 1985, and it differs from the original in location, shape, and height. The current Yellow Crane Tower is taller and more majestic, and it is located approximately 1 kilometer away from the original site (which was occupied due to the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge). Tang dynasty poet Cui Hao composed the poem 'Yellow Crane Tower' here, and Li Bai wrote 'Seeing off Meng Haoran for Guangling at Yellow Crane Tower', making the Yellow Crane Tower famous far and wide since ancient times. Basic strategy information: Location: Situated on the banks of the Yangtze River in Wuchang District, it is easily accessible with nearby subway stations, bus stations, and shared bicycles $Ticket: Yellow Crane Tower Park is free of charge. If you want to climb the tower, the daytime ticket is 70 RMB per person (8:30-18:00), and the night visit to the Yellow Crane Tower is 120 RMB per person (19:30-22:00)
