Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower

The Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan is the city's most famous landmark. The current structure was built in 1981, but this historic pagoda has been demolished and rebuilt more times than most people care to remember. The five-story edifice, which was once a military watchtower, now functions only as a memorial. Climbing to the fifth level and gazing out the bird's-eye view is a commonly accepted truth among residents that no vacation to Wuhan is complete without doing so. #hiking#ancientlandmark#historicculture#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
