Next, you'll arrive at the Yellow Crane Tower, celebrated as the "First Tower under Heaven." Standing majestically on Snake Hill, this architectural marvel has inspired poets and scholars for over a millennium, including the great Li Bai and Cui Hao. During your 2-hour guided tour, your guide will lead you through the tower's five stories, pointing out intricate murals that depict its long and storied history. As you ascend to the top, your guide will share the legend of the Taoist immortal who, according to folklore, rode a yellow crane from this very spot.
