Yellow Crane Tower

Download poster

The Yellow Crane Tower is the most famous literary landmark in Wuhan. It has been destroyed and rebuilt many times during the changes in the city and the river bank. The current building was built on the new site of Snake Mountain in the 20th century, using modern architecture to interpret the older famous buildings and poetic traditions. Its value lies in connecting literary memory, the reconstruction process and the panoramic view of the Yangtze River, the bridge and the three towns.

Opening hours

Confirmed opening hours are not available on this page. Check opening and last-entry times with the venue before setting out.

Getting there

Metro Line 5 and buses can go to the Sheshan area, and designated entrances should be used because railways and main roads restrict direct access in some directions.

Practical notes

Distinguish between the concept of historic buildings and modern reconstructions, allow time for exhibitions, and avoid elevated outdoor areas during thunderstorms or extreme heat. Queues may be longer during peak times.
