The Yueyang Tower is dignified, generous, and very imposing on the vast Dongting Lake.

The building is made of pure wood, without a single nail or rivet of masonry.

Leaning against the wall, it feels like Dongting Lake is right under your feet. If you throw a stone, you can hear the sound of water.

Without Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower", not so many people would know about Yueyang Tower and not so many people would yearn for it.

"The Story of Yueyang Tower" is well written throughout, and the two famous sayings that are widely recited are "worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness".

Yueyang Tower is famous all over the world because of these two famous quotes. This was probably something neither Teng Zijing nor Fan Zhongyan expected.

When writing this "Record", Fan Zhongyan was not in Yueyang. He was demoted to Deng County, Henan Province. It is said that he had never been to Yueyang at all. The description of the scenery around Yueyang Tower was completely beyond imagination.

However, the idea of ??"worrying about the world's worries first, and rejoicing after the world's happiness" has been considered for a long time.

It seems that the most important thing in an article is thought. Only with unique thoughts can we mobilize our imagination and summarize the impressions obtained elsewhere.

Dongting Lake and Yueyang Tower are connected into a whole.

Standing on the Yueyang Tower, you can see sailboats passing by and egrets flying in the lake.

In the distance, you can see the mighty lake that leads to Wu Gorge in the north and Xiaoxiang in the south.

It seems that "the steaming clouds and Meng Ze, the waves shaking Yueyang City" are not empty words.

The most beautiful description of Dongting Lake has always been Qu Yuan's "The autumn wind blows, and the Dongting ripples under the wooden leaves."

Bianhe Street is the main street running from the north to the south of Yueyang Tower. The street is a stone road paved with granite, about three meters wide.

On both sides of the street are shops of various sizes, including teahouses, inns, restaurants, snacks, bars, souvenirs, local specialties, entertainment and leisure.

Some shops have red lanterns hung outside, which are warm and dazzling.

Rectangular or triangular flags are hung at the entrance of some stores, making people feel like they are in an ancient street.

My teammates and I walked on the street paved with bluestones, and the snacks and delicious food were overwhelming.

The shrimp cakes are delicious, crispy and delicious, as well as the sugar-oiled cakes with attractive color. Take one bite and it will be sweet but not rich, oily but not greasy.

The Hunan specialty stinky tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the Yueyang coir raincoat radish is crisp, tender and refreshing, which will whet your appetite.

The "Dipo Traditional Braised Meat Shop" across Bianhe Street was relocated from the main store under the bridge. It is a time-honored late-night snack shop. The braised food in the store is quite good, including soup noodles, duck head, duck feet, braised lotus root, edamame, Qianzhang

It’s worth tasting.
