Shanxi Yongji Stork Tower Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

The Stork Tower in Yongji, Shanxi, is as famous as the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang, the Yueyang Tower on the Dongting Lake, and the Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang. It is known as the four famous towers in ancient China. It was originally a military building built by soldiers during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Because of its majestic momentum and broad vision, when you climb to the top floor, you will feel like you are about to fly, so it is named "Yunqi Tower". And because of this, there is a kind of fish-eating stork that often lives on high-rise buildings, so it is also called "stork tower". The Stork Tower has a spectacular building, ingenious structure, advantageous geographical location and beautiful scenery. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, literati and scholars climbed the tower to enjoy the scenery and left behind many immortal poems. Among them, Wang Zhihuan's poem "The sun sets over the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea; if you want to see a thousand miles away, go to the next level" is an eternal masterpiece. The poem is due to the building, and the building is due to the name of the poem. The Stork Tower, which was burned down by Yuan soldiers in history, has become the only Tang Dynasty-style building in China that adopts the color painting art of the Tang Dynasty after reconstruction, achieving the artistic effect of "restoring the old as before". Yongji Stork Tower is located on the bank of the Yellow River on the western outskirts of the ancient city of Puzhou in Yongji, Shanxi, at the junction of the three provinces of Shanxi, Qin and Henan.
