Yellow Crane Tower

First time climbing Yellow Crane Tower, I fell in love with Wuhan ❤️ I came here by metro from my hotel — it was a bit far, but Wuhan’s metro is super convenient and comfortable. The entrance ticket is ¥70, and I highly recommend buying it online in advance, especially during holidays, because the queue for on-site tickets can take forever! From the tower, I saw Tortoise Mountain TV Tower, the Yangtze River Bridge, and the stunning skyline of Wuhan. Took so many photos 📸 This city is truly full of history and life — I really love it here!

Reconstructed inly 40 years ago and on a different hill than the original, the yellow crane tower remains a must see in Wuhan. The stupa at the entrance is the only one in the city and the tower itself has been rebuilt according to the original design. Great view from the top and a nice park to walk around !

The Yellow Crane Tower (Huanghelou) is undoubtedly one of the most iconic landmarks in Wuhan, and visiting it is like stepping into a living piece of Chinese history and poetry. Perched on Snake Hill along the Yangtze River, the tower offers not only stunning views of the city and river below but also a rich cultural experience that blends history, architecture, and legend.

The location is excellent, in the center of the city. Easy parking, short walking distance to the tower. Beautiful night scenery, but it's hard to get to the top of the tower during summer break, too many people.

It stands majestically at night with all the lights that makes it more beautiful! A must visit when you go to Wuhan. This was also featured in the 2025 Spring Gala Festival where OneRepublic performed "Counting Stars". Will definitely recommemd to see these gorgepus attraction in Wuhan

Beautiful historic structures and Great views for photos. Require fare bit of walking

Very impressive architecture and stunning views. I recommend going around sunset which is when I went and I am going to go back to see what it is like at night. The staff were very helpful and understanding despite my complete lack of Chinese. I recommend the dance/music show too, worth seeing.

A lot of steps within this area so it is not wheelchair-friendly. I recommend you to buy a ticket for back & forth shuttle for 10 Yuan per person to reach the tower which is very convenient. There is a Millennium Bell and small part of ancient wall across the pagoda. The tower has an elevator for elders and disabled persons but you need to ask officers there to use it. At the ground hall, there is a giant ceramic painting of a yellow crane that everyone must take picture with. On the upper deck, there is a beautifully painted ceramic hall in green color with 4-sided outdoor terrace, with stunning views of Wuhan city and Yangtze River.
