After watching "Thirty Thousand Miles in Chang'an," I was determined to visit the Guaque Tower at least once! The Guaque Tower was first built during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, primarily for military purposes. It has survived for over 700 years but was destroyed by war during the Yuan Dynasty. The Guaque Tower we see today was rebuilt in 1997. By taking an elevator, you can directly reach the top floor 🉑️ and enjoy the view of "the sun setting behind the mountains, and the Yellow River flowing into the sea." Although the current Guaque Tower looks a bit like a reinforced concrete behemoth 😂, which I find hard to appreciate 😂, when I climbed to the top floor during the sunset over the Yellow River, I could see the nearby river and the farmlands along its banks... I could truly feel the romance in the ancient poets' verses. I wonder if Wang Zhihuan saw the same magnificent scenery back then? 📷 Nearby attractions: ✔️ Yellow River Iron Bull ✔️ Pujiu Temple (Romance of the Western Chamber) ✔️ Wangu Temple You can plan a 1️⃣-day tour combining these attractions with the Guaque Tower. 📍 Address: Guaque Tower, Yongji County, Yuncheng City 🎫 Admission: 55 RMB 🕐 Opening hours: 08:30-18:00 🚗 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended (1.5 hours from Yuncheng City) 📝 TIPS: It is suggested to enter the park after 17:00 to avoid the scorching sun, and the evening light is more photogenic.
