At first, it was to be built in 223 (during the period of the Three Kingdoms(220-280), China) at the top of Mt Snake lying near the southern Yangtse riverside, in the east part of Wuchang, Wuhan municipalityswheresthe Chinese greatest river and the most important railway line cross each other. However, the most famous tower had been burnt and rebuilt for seven times. The present Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt and established completely in 1985. It covers 15 hectares. The whole park area is dividedsintosfour parts named the east, the west, the south, and the north. In the east part, the exhibition halls are used to display the story of the Chinese national hero Yue Fei (1103-1142), the west part is the main body of the whole scenic areaswheresthe tower stands up. The north area is full of the azalea, bamboo, pine and the like as a plant park. And in the south area stand a lot of steles with carved inscriptions written by famous scholars, writers and poets such as Li Po (701-762), Cui Hao (695?-754) and Lu Youh (1125-1210)

　　The Tang-Dynasty poet Cui Hao wrote one of the most famous poems about the Yellow-Crane Tower:

　　Long ago a man riding a yellow crane flew away,

　　Leaving the Yellow Crane Tower empty till today.

　　The yellow crane has never returned once again

　　The 1000-year lonely clouds leisurely remain.

　　The river is so clear to mirror the tree shadow,

　　The grasses on the Parrot Islet luxuriantly grow.

　　I'm not on way home as the sun behind the hill,

　　My sorrow waves with the mist-veiled billow.

　　Poet Cui Hao was considered as the first-class one with the above poem. Even the greatest poet Li Po had to believe it was not easy to write another one to surpass Cui's level while visiting the Yellow Crane Tower. Li Po said: It's impossible to have a better poem describe such a good view than poet Cui's in front of you.?

　　However, Li Po still wrote some lines insgroupsto follow Cui's rhyme and style when he visited the Phoenix Rampart of Nanking:

　　Over the phoenix rampart the phoenix flutters;

　　The phoenix flying away, the lonely river flows.

　　The Wu-palace's grasses with flowers cover its path*;

　　The Jin-crown was buried in a mound of the death.*

　　Three peaks half-fallen beyond the blue sky,

　　The Egret Islet divides the river to pass by.

　　Always I worry floating clouds cover the sun,

　　Missing the Tang capital Chang'an not seen.*

　　And also Li Po wrote a poem about the Parrot Islet as one scenic spot of the whole Yellow Crane Tower area:

　　The river rolls east by the Parrot Islet,

　　The islet lying in the river called Parrot.

　　A parrot flew west over Leng Mountain;

　　The fragrant islet's trees luxuriantly green.

　　From the ancient to the present, all the Chinese people have a strong desire to visit the Yellow Crane Tower. Even our late great leader Chairman Mao visited it on purpose many years ago, and also wrote a poem entitled the Yellow Crane Tower.

　　He wrote like this:

　　China has nine great tributaries flow widely long.

　　One north-south railway line lies heavily strong.

　　The misty rain is vague to be falling down.

　　Mt Tortoise and Snake lock the river on.

　　Where did the Yellow Crane fly?

　　It just left visitors?resort nigh.

　　Toast to the torrent with a cup of wine,

　　My tidal surge emotion is much high.

　　From all the above-mentioned poems we can conclude that visiting some Chinese cultural scenic spots is very helpful and significant for everyone, especially for those who want to understand the Chinese traditional culture. Almost all of good views in China are related to tower, pavilion, temple or different kinds of memorial halls used to commemorate the Chinese celebrities due to the people's worship, respect or love. Not only we could enjoy China's natural beauty but also learn something about what we need in ideological study.
