Yellow Crane Tower, located in Wuhan, China, is an iconic historical and cultural landmark with a history dating back over 1,700 years. Originally constructed during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 AD), the tower has been rebuilt multiple times due to destruction from wars and fires. The current structure, completed in 1985, stands at approximately 51.4 meters (169 feet) tall and features five stories, each adorned with intricate carvings and traditional Chinese architectural elements. The tower offers panoramic views of the Yangtze River and the city of Wuhan, making it a popular tourist destination.
