Must-go Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan

In March with good weather conditions, a Wuhan tour without the Yellow Crane Tower is not complete. This landmark building not only has elaborate designs, but also provides a panoramic angle for visitors to view downtown Wuhan. When night falls, the tower will be illuminated by bright light and a Wuhan-themed light show will be projected on the tower's body.

 Tip: At night this month, there may be many people queuing to watch the light show, and keeping warm is quite necessary during the waiting time.

Wandering along the riverbank, you can enjoy the soft breezes while waiting for the sunset. Above the bridge, all the sky is ablaze with sunset glow; and below the bridge, the river surface is rippling and sparkling.
