| We were very satisfied with our visit to the Yellow Crane Tower. The scenery was beautiful, and the elevator took us directly to the fifth floor for a more organized tour. The Yellow Crane Tower was impeccably maintained, and the souvenirs and cultural products were exquisite and attractive. Standing on the fifth floor, we had a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, and the smaller scenic spots were also charming and beautiful. We were extremely satisfied with our visit to the Yellow Crane Tower; we spent a full four and a half hours there. |

Most of the remaining cherry blossoms were planted jointly by China and Japan in 1998. In March every year during the cherry blossom season, the cherry blossoms in the whole garden are as white as the sea, and the tulips are like rainbow waves. Combined with the water system, bridges, high-altitude plank roads and other elements in the garden, it can bring multi-angle and multi-style shooting effects. The scenic area is divided into five parts: the five-story pagoda, the lotus pond, the recreation area, and the cherry blossom garden.
