The Yellow Crane Tower

The Yellow Crane Tower is one of the three famous buildings in China. It is located in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. It has the reputation of "the first building in the world" in China. The architectural style of the Yellow Crane Tower is very unique, with ethnic characteristics. Inside the Yellow Crane Tower, each floor has a different style.

The architectural feature of the Yellow Crane Tower is that the roofs of various layers are staggered and overlapped, and the corners are lifted up, as if they are crane wings that are about to fly. The interior and exterior of the floor are painted with cranes as the main body, with cloud patterns, flowers and plants, dragons and phoenix as the foils. The style is very unique and has national characteristics. It is located on the top of Wuchang Snake Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River. This geographical location makes the Yellow Crane Tower and the Yangtze River form a perfect contrast, and also wins the reputation of the world's most beautiful scenery.

The main building of the Yellow Crane is a four-sided octagonal body and a reinforced concrete frame imitation wood structure. Starting from the first floor, the overall building mainly shrinks upwards, which enhances the firmness and stability of the building.

The building is 51.4 meters high, 30 meters wide on the ground floor, 18 meters wide on the top floor, has five floors with flying eaves, and is covered with golden glazed tiles. Outside the building, there are cast bronze cranes, Shengxiang pagodas, arches, Xuan corridors, pavilions and other buildings surrounded by buildings, which have a unique national style.

At Yellow Crane Tower in the west

 My old friend says farewell; 

In the mist and flowers of spring

He goes down to Yangzhou;

Lonely sail, distant shadow,

Vanish in the blue emptiness;

All I see is the greast river

Flowing into the far horizon.
