The Yellow Crane Tower is located on the Snake Mountain, overlooking the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River Bridge.

"The vast nine factions flow through China, and the heavy line runs through the north and south. The smoke and rain are reckless, and the turtle and snake lock the river. Where does the Yellow Crane go? There are only tourist places left. Drink the wine and get your heart pumping! "Bodhisattva Man: Yellow Crane Tower".

If you want to find a place in Wuhan to climb high and overlook the Yangtze River, I believe many people will recommend a place to you: the Yellow Crane Tower.

Many people have a question about the Yellow Crane Tower, that is, whether the origin of the Yellow Crane Tower is really related to the Yellow Crane?

In fact, there is a slightly mysterious legend here, which does have something to do with the Yellow Crane: it is said that there was originally a tavern here, which was run by the Xin couple, and although they worked hard, they had been doing average business.

One day, a man in ragged clothes but a burly figure came to the tavern, and when he came to the tavern, he said to the owner, Xin, "I want to ask for a drink, but I don't have the money." The boss, Xin, was kind-hearted and did not look down on the person who came because he had no money, but gave him a big bowl of wine and a dish.

So for the next six months, every day this man would come and ask for a bowl of wine to drink, and the boss Xin would respond to every request, as long as he came, he could drink a bowl of wine.

One day, the man was a little embarrassed and said to the boss: "I drank your wine for half a year, but I don't have the money to pay you back, I'm really embarrassed, just draw a picture in your store!" As soon as the words fell, before the boss Xin could react, the man took out the orange from the basket he brought and drew a crane on the wall, because the orange is yellow, then the crane is also yellow.

This yellow crane is extremely magical, as long as someone claps their hands and sings, they can sing and dance on the wall. There was a sensation in the city, and people came to the store to watch the yellow cranes dance.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the owner Xin has made a lot of money, but because the wall cannot be moved, he continues to operate here.

One day ten years later, a man in ragged clothes came to the store, and the boss saw that this was the man who painted the yellow crane ten years ago.

So the boss Xin was extremely grateful and said that he would support him! The man laughed, took out his flute and played a tune, and the clouds in the sky fell to the ground, and the yellow crane came to the man from the wall.

The man rode on the yellow crane and flew into the sky with the white clouds. The boss Xin was very grateful, so he built a pavilion in this place to commemorate the immortal and the Yellow Crane, which was originally called Xin's Tower, and later named the Yellow Crane Tower.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow Crane Tower ushered in a poet, named Cui Hao, after hearing this myth and witnessing the majesty of the Yellow Crane Tower, he wrote down the famous chapter through the ages: "The people of the past have taken the Yellow Crane to go, and the Yellow Crane Tower is vacant here." The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are empty for thousands of years. Qingchuan calendar Hanyang tree, fragrant grass and parrot island. Where is Sunset Township? The Yanbo River makes people sad. It can be said that it was Cui Hao who made the Yellow Crane Tower famous all over the world, attracting more people to visit, and finally even the poet Li Bai also came to visit happily and wrote: "The Yellow Crane Tower blows the jade flute, and the plum blossoms fall in May in Jiangcheng."

In the Tang Dynasty, when poetry flourished, the Yellow Crane Tower eventually became the first of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River with Cui Hao and Li Bai (Tengwang Pavilion was built in the early Tang Dynasty, Yueyang Tower was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Yellow Crane Tower was built in the Eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms).

So, is this really the origin of the Yellow Crane Tower? Of course not, the legend of the Yellow Crane is just a legend. According to the history books, the Yellow Crane Tower was built in the second year of Huangwu in the Eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms, when Sun Quan in order to better control Jingzhou, and Cao Wei Shu Han to contend with, ordered to build a city near the current Wuchang Snake Mountain, and at the same time built a watchtower along the river for military observation, which is the predecessor of the Yellow Crane Tower.

In the eighth year of Huangwu, Sun Quan was enthroned as emperor here, and the founding name was Wu, and the history was called Eastern Wu. Later, the Eastern Wu Dynasty died and the Western Jin Dynasty dominated the world, and the watchtower lost its military value
