Chaoyang Tower has a history of more than 600 years, and it is one of the main symbols of water conservancy construction in southern Yunnan. Over the past 600 years, Chaoyang Tower has survived many storms, wars and earthquakes, and is still intact. Some couplets praised "the building is 800 miles in southern Xinjiang, which is the first floor of Yunnan government." Looking around the city, I saw this ancient city full of youth and vitality. It has become a "grand view of South China".
