Yellow Crane Tower: Huang He Lou Wuhan Hubei: Beijing: 3 Gorges Dam
Yellow Crane Tower Wuhan Hubei Province
Between July 10th and August 8th 2004, I have been required to 'teach' Conversational English to national English Teachers. At the same time, my Grade Two students are doing preliminary studies for their Grade Three School year.
Each Day in addition to my teaching hours, I have many visitors to my home, and found that I was getting worn out, so finding myself with two and a half days free, I left Hong Hu to go rest in Wuhan. While I was there, I took these photos of Yellow Crane Towers which is in WuChang right beside the Number One Chang Jiang Bridge.
The day I was due to Leave, Zhan Yan turned up at my house saying that his summer camp had been cancelled and none of his family were in town. So guess who came with me?
There is no commentary apart from the fact that it costs 50 RMB for the entrance ticket, and you can catch so many different local buses to get there.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Yellow Crane Tower
This shot looks from the top of Yellow Crane Tower down and across the Number One Bridge on the Yangtze River in Wuhan. Yellow crane tower is in WuChang. The other side of the Bridge is HanYang.
This is my friend Zhan Yan who while often living in my house back in 2004 He came with me to Yellow Crane tower because his summer school closed early. With all his family members away, he had nowhere to stay.
These two shots are of a local businesses on the other side of road. A new road has been created to divert traffic from the bridge, and allthe shops opposite Yellow Crane tower have gone. Such a pity.
Some nice places to rest
Above and Below are some models of Yellow Crane Tower, found withinthe complex. There are quite a lot of interesting things to look at.
Above and Below: There are a lot of decorative murals and Jade pieces to be found in the Yellow Crane Tower.
The is a fantastic mural of a crane over Yellow Crane Tower. The mural is too big to enable a full clear shot of it. Believe me I tried.
