The Lion Rock is a tall building. There are not many tourists who come to Nanjing to check in here, but the scenery is beautiful. You can see the corner of the Yangtze River from a distance. The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is in sight. You can see the city from the south. It is worth a visit.

Nanjing | The 'Number One Tower in the South of the Yangtze' that only exists in poetryNanjing's Yuejiang Tower is also a legend. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the founder Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang personally chose the site and wrote the 'Record of Yuejiang Tower', even ordering his ministers to each write an article. Unfortunately, due to various factors, Yuejiang Tower was never completed and only the foundation remained. In the verses passed down by later generations of literati, the uncompleted Yuejiang Tower became known as the 'Number One Tower in the South of the Yangtze'. In 1998, the government began to promote the construction of Yuejiang Tower, investing more than 40 million yuan in the main building alone, with the total project reaching over 200 million yuan. In September 2001, the project was completed and opened to the public, now a national 4A tourist attraction. The main building of Yuejiang Tower is quite impressive, as it is a later-built imitation of ancient architecture. The interior is 'glittering with gold and jade', and there are some small commodities for sale. You can take an elevator directly to the top floor, where the view is indeed good. After descending, I saw people taking wedding photos here, which is indeed suitable. On the road, you can see many little lions on the railings, each with an interesting expression. Overall, the walk is fine, with a heavy cultural attribute. I heard the night view is quite good, but that's for next time. For the tour, I entered through the south gate and exited through the east gate, which took a little over an hour. The ticket price is 40 yuan.cassiansteel86

Yuejiang Tower Scenic AreaLocated in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the Yuejiang Tower Scenic Area features a building modeled after Ming Dynasty architecture, with red pillars and a golden glazed tile roof that is strikingly bright. Ascending the Yuejiang Tower, one can take in the vast panorama of the Yangtze River, which is refreshing and pleasing to the eye. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he renamed Lulong Mountain to Lion Mountain, decreed the construction of Yuejiang Tower, and personally wrote 'Yuejiang Tower Record'. He also ordered all literati to write a 'Yuejiang Tower Record', among which the one written by Grand Academician Song Lian was the best and was later included in 'Guwen Guanzhi'.marcellathornfield85

The four famous buildings in Jiangnan refer to Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Yueyang Tower, Nanchang Tengwang Pavilion and Nanjing Yuejiang Building. The peculiarity of Yuejiang Tower is that in the 7th year of Ming Hongwu (1374), Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang laid down the Yuejiang Building in the northwest of Nanjing City. After the completion of the foundation, the construction was suddenly suspended until September 2001. Completed. Before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once commanded tens of thousands of ambushes on the Lion Rock, defeated the strong attack of the enemy, Chen Youliang, 400,000 horses, laid the foundation for the establishment of the Daming Dynasty, and later decided to build the Yuejiang Tower on the top of the Lion. The Yuejiang Tower is connected to the city wall of Nanjing, and the Yuejiang Tower can be overlooked. The Yuejiang Building, completed in 2001, seems to lack a little ancient charm. Because the design materials of the Ming Dynasty were long gone, it was built with a more modern reinforced concrete structure instead of a wooden structure. The Yujiang Building displays the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and China's splendid technology and civilization during the Ming Dynasty. The Yuejiang Building is adjacent to the Yangtze River and is a strategic location. Building a city wall here is a natural danger, and it is easy to defend. Walking along the Yuejiang Tower, this section of the city is full of ancient charm. Nanjing was the capital of the early Ming Dynasty. The existing walls were mostly Ming City Walls. At that time, Nanjing's city walls were the longest and strongest city walls in the world.River2014.
I have seen Jinghai Temple and walked to Yuejiang Building on foot. "One river runs through the sea and thousands of miles, two memories of the six hundred autumns." This wonderful couplet is a true portrayal of the six hundred years of the Yuejiang Tower. It is located on the main peak of Lion Rock and faces the Yangzizi River. It is one of the classical buildings of Nanjing landmark. In the record, it is one of the "four famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River" with the same name as Yueyang Tower, Tengwang Pavilion and Yellow Crane Tower. But in history, it is just a "castle in the air" that exists on paper. After the 600 years, a real Jinxiu Pavilion finally stood on the Lion Rock.carina..

The Lion Rock is a tall building. There are not many tourists who come to Nanjing to check in here, but the scenery is beautiful. You can see the corner of the Yangtze River from a distance. The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is in sight. You can see the city from the south. It is worth a visit.
Good scenery is very good, it is worth going to look at the Yangtze River and Zifeng Building. When the weather is good, it is very popular. The scenic facilities are also relatively complete. When you come, you will have a wedding dress downstairs. It feels worth a turn.
The overall is good, the south gate is in, the east gate is out, and the city wall road is not bad. The scenery upstairs is unobstructed, overlooking the Yangtze River Bridge, you can see the freighter up against the river. The only downside is that the sightseeing lights are not turned on, only on holidays, which is a pity.
One of the four famous buildings in Jiangnan, it is really high to see the opposite bank, that is, there are too many stairs, not suitable for the elderly, but many steps have seats, very user-friendly, the scenic spot can actually develop more projects, only Yuejiang Building is slightly monotonous, I can't stop the wall next to it. I don't know why. I guess it may be free. But it's too waste of time to cross the road.
Yuejiang Building is one of the top ten historical and cultural buildings in China. Yuejiang Building metaphorically means the meaning of Yuejiang Range Rover. The main building is 52 meters high. Biwa Zhu Ying and Yuan Caiying are typical of the royal architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. It is one of Nanjing's iconic cultural buildings. Upstairs you can overlook the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. Next to it is Yifengmen.
Aboard the Yuejiang Building can overlook the majestic position of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge and take pictures here.
The price of the attraction is not high, the adult ticket is 40 yuan, climb the stairs to the observation deck and go up to the attic, and then climb the stairs from the attic to the place where the river is seen. The place is relatively small. Only the northeast corner can see the Yangtze River. The west has been blocked by the flowery high-rise buildings. The scenic spot is still being renovated, it is noisy, I personally feel that there are two decorations that are not suitable for opening or charging.
Yuejiang Building can take the elevator directly to the 6th floor, overlooking the Zijin Mountain, overlooking the Qinhuai River, and watching the two sides of the Yangtze River, which is pleasing to the eye. It is indeed very magnificent and beautiful. Next to it is Fengyi Gate City Wall and Tianfei Palace. It is really pleasant to climb and look far.
