Nanjing | The 'Number One Tower in the South of the Yangtze' that only exists in poetry
Nanjing'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.
It’s okay to stand on the roof. I can’t see anything in other places. It’s blocked by high-rise buildings. You can go up and see it. It’s not so worth it. If you have enough time, you will come and stroll around. It won’t be so disappointed.
It is very convenient to book tickets online. The on-site ID card is directly entered the scenic spot ~ The whole scenic spot is lush and beautiful! There are a lot of tourist buses. Since the scenic spot is quite large, people have diluted it. We have old and small, limited physical strength, only went to the building, and other attractions have not gone. It is a pity ~
Good attractions with few people and many stories, Emperor Qianlong gave the name Yuejiang Building, the place where the great pioneer Sun Yat-sen came by, facing the Yangtze River, looking at the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, quiet and relaxing place, highly recommended
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.
It's so beautiful. On the roof, you can see the panoramic view of the Yangtze River Bridge. The view inside the building is also very beautiful.
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.
