The Origin of Yellow Crane Tower Brief Introduction of Yellow Crane Tower

1. There are two explanations for the origin of the name of Yellow Crane Tower, one is the fairy theory, and the other is the mountain theory. One of the fairies passed by before, and the local people saved him. In order to thank the person who saved him, the fairy drew a crane on the wall of the hotel opened by this person. This crane can dance for entertainment, and it is precisely because of this crane that the business of this hotel is getting better and better. 10 years later, the immortal came here again and took the Yellow Crane away. In order to thank the immortal, the rescuer built a building in this place and named it Yellow Crane Tower directly. There is another saying, that is, because the building was actually built on a yellow foundation, the word "crane" was read by later generations and passed down from mouth to mouth, so it became the Yellow Crane Tower.

2. The Yellow Crane Tower is located at the top of Wuchang Snake Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, which is close to the Yangtze River. It is one of the "three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River" and has been called "the first building in the world" and "the first scenery in the world" since ancient times. The Yellow Crane Tower is a landmark building in Wuhan, and it is also called "the three famous places of interest in Wuhan" with Qingchuan Pavilion and Guqintai.
