Yellow Crane Tower(Yellow Crane Tower Park)

The owner was very nice and patiently explained the ticket booking and route up and down the mountain. The hotel was very clean and tidy with no unsanitary corners. I've already recommended it to friends, and it will definitely be my first choice for next time.

I waited an hour and a half to see the night view, which was generally quite nice, though a bit pricey. The security guards were diligent and responsible, and the management was very organized, but the view itself was only so-so.

The guide was very patient. The content was very comprehensive. They also helped take photos, which turned out great. My child enjoyed it very much. It's worth mentioning that the clapper talk segment was truly amazing. Thank you for the guide.
