The Best Photo Spot at Mianyang Yuewang Tower (Recommended Travel Guide)

📍Address, located at No. 326, East Section of Jiannan Road, Youxian District, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province 💡Attraction Introduction, Yuewang Tower was built during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang in the Xianqing years (656~661 AD), standing 29.4 meters tall; In December 2007, it was reconstructed; the current main tower is 99 meters high, with 15 floors inside and out, featuring Tang-style bold flying eaves and hip-and-gable roofs, glazed tile roofs, and supporting buildings including corridors, pavilions, towers, terraces, plazas, shopping malls, gardens, etc. Yuewang Tower faces the Fu River, integrating pavilions, towers, pavilions, halls, corridors, and pagodas. The first to fifth floors are pavilions, the tenth to thirteenth floors are towers, the fifteenth floor is a pavilion, and the top treasure top resembles a pagoda. The second floor has halls in both the south and north directions, with an exterior outline on each floor, making it the best of today's imitation ancient standalone buildings. During the Xianqing years of Emperor Gaozong of Tang (656~661 AD), Yuewang Tower was built and became famous in the world because of Li Zhen, the eighth son of Emperor Taizong of Tang, who was the governor of Mianzhou at that time, and it is known as one of the 'Four Great Towers of the Tang Dynasty' along with the Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower, and Tengwang Pavilion. At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Yuewang Tower was mostly destroyed by a great fire. It was rebuilt and destroyed several times thereafter. 🌈Travel Tips, 1️⃣Visit Mianyang People's Park in the afternoon, the largest park in Northwest Sichuan 2️⃣Stroll around the nearby streets (where Mianyang's large commercial areas are located) and dine. 3️⃣Come over in the late evening, it's quite comfortable by the Pei River. 4️⃣Unless using aerial photography, the secret is that behind Yuewang Tower, there is a small district on a small highland, directly facing Yuewang Tower, with a very good shooting angle. There is a parking lot at Yuewang Tower, walk inside, and you'll get there.
