Introduction to Yushu Tower: Yushu Tower, formerly known as Bagua Tower, is located in the corner of the Meridian Gate. It is called Yushu Tower because the Kangxi imperial book "Yi Bing Qian Kun" is inscribed here. The building is 17.04 meters high, with a gable-style roof with three eaves on the second floor. A tortoise-bearing seat protrudes from the middle of the front eaves on the ground floor, and an archway-style roof is built on it. There are three buildings protruding from the rear, in the style of rolling sheds. This style of building a building in the front and a building in the back is a special case in Qing architecture. Visitors can climb up the surrounding corridors on the second floor and overlook the panoramic view.
