Wuhan is a famous historical and cultural city in China. There are many tourist attractions here. You can visit the Yellow Crane Tower and guiyuan buddhist temple. Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower can make you feel good, and walking in guiyuan buddhist temple will make you feel different. A few years ago, when my parents and I came here to play, we boarded the Yellow Crane Tower and visited guiyuan buddhist temple, which is still fresh in my mind. Let's learn more about it with me ~

1. Introduction to Yellow Crane Tower

Yellow Crane Tower is located on Sheshanfeng Ridge on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Wuchang, Hubei Province. It is a national 5A-level scenic spot and is known as "the best scenery in the world" and "the first building in the world". It is one of the city landmarks in Wuhan. Standing on the height of the Yellow Crane Tower, you can see the scenery of the rolling Yangtze River and three towns in Wuhan.

The main building of the Yellow Crane Tower is an octagonal structure with reinforced concrete frame imitating wood structure, with a total height of 51.4m, a bottom side width of 31m, a top side width of 18m, and five cornices, with a pointed roof covered with golden glazed tiles, supported by 72 columns, and 61 upturned corners extending outwards. Outside the building, there are buildings such as bronze yellow crane modeling, victory pagoda, memorial archway, porch and pavilion, etc. The whole building is shaped like a yellow crane, spreading its wings and flying, with plaques hanging on all sides under the eaves, and a gold plaque inscribed "Yellow Crane Tower" by calligrapher Shu Tong hanging on the front.

Food Raiders

You can't have been to Wuhan without eating a bowl of Regan Noodles. Regan Noodles is Wuhan's business card. Unlike noodle soup and other mixed noodles, you should cook it first, then mix it with oil to dry it. When you eat it, you should put it in boiling water to heat it. With sesame sauce and other seasonings and side dishes such as sour beans, it's called a beauty. The most famous one is "Cai Lin Ji", but for old Wuhan, it's called "Cai Lin Ji". Every time I go to Wuhan, I will buy more to eat on the way back. It's spicy and fragrant, really delicious, with a bottle of beer and a look at the scenery along the way. It's very pleasant ~
