Where is the Yellow Crane Tower? How many floors are there? How high is it? Is there an elevator inside? What else is in it? How much is the ticket?

The Yellow Crane Tower is located in Wuhan, Hubei Province. One of the three famous buildings in Jiangnan and one of the 40 major tourist attractions in China. Known as "the first floor in the world." The mighty Yangtze River meets its longest tributary, Hanshui, in the hinterland of Sanchu, creating a magnificent Wuhan with two rivers separated and three towns interacting. It is located at the eastern edge of Jianghan Plain, and the hills in southeastern Hubei fluctuate between lakes and swamps in Ye Ping. Tortoise and snake are sandwiched between two mountains, and a series of boats on the river are woven in Sri Lanka. Another cigarette brand is named after this.

Crane Tower is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Wuchang, Hubei Province. According to legend, it was also built in the Three Kingdoms period, and its reputation began to flourish in the Tang Dynasty, mainly due to the poet Cui Hao's poem "A long time ago, a yellow crane carried a saint to heaven, and now only the Yellow Crane Tower is left". The map of Yellow Crane Tower in Song Dynasty reproduces the face of Song Tower. In the picture, the Yellow Crane Tower is built on the rostrum, with trees under the stage and vast smoke in the distance. The central main building has two floors, the plane is square, the lower floor protrudes left and right, and the front and rear corridors are connected with the annex building. All the roofs are patchwork, and the wings are rugged and majestic. After the Song Dynasty, the Yellow Crane Tower was repeatedly destroyed and built, and it was rebuilt in the seventh year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1868), but it only existed for more than ten years. At present, only the architectural photos at that time are left. We don't build many buildings on high platforms as painted in the Song Dynasty, but take a centralized plane and stand high above the city wall. The plane is a folded cross with three outer layers and nine inner layers. The middle and lower eaves have a high angle of 12, with a total height of 32 meters.

The Yellow Crane Tower is located at the top of the snake at an altitude of 6 1.7 meters, and is designed based on Tongzhi Building in Qing Dynasty. The building is five stories high, with a total height of 5 1.4m and a building area of 32 19m 2. 72 columns rise from the ground, vigorous and steady; 60 upturned horns stretched out in the air, just like a yellow crane taking off.

The Yellow Crane Tower, which stands on the Snake Mountain in Wuhan, enjoys the reputation of "the best scenery in the world", and is also called "the four famous buildings in China" with Yueyang Tower in Hunan, Penglai Pavilion in Shandong and Wangtengting Pavilion in Jiangxi. The Yellow Crane Tower was built in the Three Kingdoms period in the second year of Wu (223). Legend has it that it was built for military purposes. In order to realize "ruling the country by force and prospering the world" (hence the name "Wuchang"), Sun Quan built the earliest Yellow Crane Tower in the southwest of Xiakou City, which is now Wuchang City. The Yellow Crane Tower was just a "military building" in the corner of Xiakou City during the Three Kingdoms period, which was disputed by many heroes. After the rulers destroyed Wu Dong, the three countries were unified. At the same time, the building lost its military value and gradually evolved into an ornamental building with the development of Jiangxia city. By the Tang Dynasty, its military nature had gradually evolved into a famous scenic spot, which was visited by literati of all dynasties, leaving many well-known poems.

Cui Hao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote: "In ancient times, yellow cranes carried saints to heaven, but today there is no yellow crane tower. The yellow crane will never come, and the white clouds will never have him. Every tree in Hanyang has become crystal clear, and Nautilus Island is a nest of sweet grass. But I looked home, the twilight was getting thicker, and the river waves were filled with sad mist. " Becoming a swan song throughout the ages has also made the Yellow Crane Tower famous. And Li Bai's "Listening to the Yellow Crane Tower on the Flute with the Shilang Zhongqin" "One is to move to Changsha, and the other is to look at Chang' an in the west. Yu Di blows in the Yellow Crane Tower and plum blossoms fall in May in Jiangcheng, which has established the reputation of "Jiangcheng" in Wuhan.

By the first year of Yongtai in the Tang Dynasty (765), the Yellow Crane Tower had begun to take shape, which made many Jiangxia celebrities "feast". However, wars and fires occur frequently, and the Yellow Crane Tower is repeatedly built and abandoned. The last "Lou Qing" was built in the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868) and destroyed in the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), and has not been rebuilt for nearly a hundred years.

Since its establishment, the Yellow Crane Tower has been shaped in different dynasties, but it is majestic and full of personality. Compared with Yueyang Tower and Wangtengting Pavilion, the plane design of the Yellow Crane Tower is an octagon with four sides, which is called "all directions". These figures reveal the symbolic and ethical ideographic functions of numbers in ancient architectural culture. From the vertical direction of the building, the eaves of each floor are directly related to the name of the building, which looks like a yellow crane and is ready to go. The whole building is magnificent and exquisite, full of changing charm and beauty.

When the Wuchang approach bridge of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge 1957 was built, it occupied the former site of Yellow Crane Tower, and now the reconstructed Yellow Crane Tower is located at Sheshanfengling, which is about 1 km away from the former site. In June 198 1, the Yellow Crane Tower reconstruction project broke ground and was completed in June 1985. The main building is based on Tongzhi Building in Qing Dynasty, but it is bigger and more magnificent. Using modern building technology, reinforced concrete frame imitates wood structure. There are five cornices, a pointed roof and a golden glazed tile roof, with a height of 5 1.4m, a bottom width of 30m and a top width of 18m. Large murals, couplets and cultural relics are arranged on all floors of the building. Outside the building, a number of ancillary buildings such as bronze yellow crane modeling, statue pagoda, archway, porch and pavilion make the main building more magnificent. When you climb up this building, you can see the scenery of the Yangtze River rolling forward and the three towns, which is very spectacular.

There are two views on the name of the Yellow Crane Tower: "because of the mountain" and "because of the fairy". "Because of the immortal" said that there were immortals driving cranes through here, hence the name. It is said that a Taoist once painted a dancing yellow crane on the wall of Xin's Hotel here, and the business in the store was very prosperous. Ten years later, the Taoist priest came back, used his flute to attract the yellow crane and flew there by crane, so the Xin family invested in building the building. These myths and legends are very interesting and moving, but they are not the real origin of the name of Yellow Crane Tower. According to historical research, the Yellow Crane Tower was named after it was built on Huanggu Mountain. In ancient times, the words "mandarin fish" and "crane" changed from one sound to another, which were common to each other, hence the name "Yellow Crane Tower". The saying that the Yellow Crane Tower is named after a mountain has laid a geographical foundation, but the saying that it is named after a fairy gives the watchmen wings of imagination and satisfies people's desire for beauty and spiritual transcendence. The two statements have their own functions, which used to be parallel.

Bring out the best in each other, reflect each other in the future, and * * * will last forever. Layers of cornices are integrated. There are other buildings around the main building, such as victory tower, stele gallery and mountain gate. The whole building has a unique national style. Inside the Yellow Crane Tower, layers of styles are different. The ground floor is a large and spacious hall, with caissons as high as 10 meters in the middle. On the front wall is a huge ceramic mural of "White Clouds and Yellow Crane", and couplets up to 7 meters long are hung on the columns on both sides: cool and refreshing, clouds and clouds are comfortable; A river gone forever, the waves washed away the troubles of the past and present. On the front wall of the lobby on the second floor, the marble of Yellow Crane Tower written by Yan Boli in Tang Dynasty is engraved, which describes the rise and fall of the Yellow Crane Tower and anecdotes of celebrities. There are two murals on both sides of Lou Ji, one is "Sun Quan built a city", which vividly illustrates the birth history of the Yellow Crane Tower and Wuchang City; The other is Zhou Yu's Banquet, which reflects the activities and festivals of celebrities from the Three Kingdoms to the Yellow Crane Tower. The murals in the lobby on the third floor are "Xiu Xiang paintings" by famous people in the Tang and Song Dynasties, such as Cui Hao, Li Bai, Bai Juyi and Lu You. , but also excerpts from their famous sentences chanting the Yellow Crane Tower. The hall on the fourth floor is divided into several small halls with screens, and contemporary celebrity calligraphy and painting are built in for tourists to enjoy and buy. There are long scrolls and murals such as the Map of the Yangtze River in the top hall. Since its establishment, the Yellow Crane Tower has been shaped in different dynasties, but it is majestic and full of personality. Compared with Yueyang Tower and Wangtengting Pavilion, the plane design of the Yellow Crane Tower is an octagon with four sides, which is called "all directions".
