It has been known as 'the best scenery in the world' since ancient times, and is one of the 'three famous spots in Wuhan' along with Qingchuan Pavilion and Guqin Terrace, and is also known as 'the three famous towers in the south of the Yangtze River' along with Yueyang Tower in Hunan and Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi.

The exterior of the Yellow Crane Tower has five floors, but there are actually nine floors inside, implying the supreme meaning of 'nine five', the crane wing shape of the eight-direction flying eaves reflects the unique culture of the Yellow Crane Tower, perfectly combining the characteristics and cultural connotations of traditional Chinese architecture.

However, all efforts are not in vain, after climbing the five floors of the Yellow Crane Tower, the sunset begins, at this time, the golden roof flying eaves of the Yellow Crane Tower, under the afterglow, is even more magnificent, overlooking the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan City, the perfect integration of ancient buildings and modernity. The scenic area is not large, but climbing the Yellow Crane Tower, chanting a few ancient poems about the Yellow Crane Tower, watching the rushing water of the Yangtze River, is also a joy in life! 'The ancients have taken the yellow crane away, leaving only the Yellow Crane Tower here.'
