What travelers say:
It’s okay to stand on the roof. I can’t see anything in other places. It’s blocked by high-rise buildings. You can go up and see it. It’s not so worth it. If you have enough time, you will come and stroll around. It won’t be so disappointed.

Visiting the Yuejiang Tower in NanjingNanjing Yuejiang Tower is located on the summit of Lion Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River, with the moat surrounding Lion Mountain. The Yuejiang Tower is modeled after Ming Dynasty architecture, with red pillars and golden glazed tiles covering the roof, which are strikingly dazzling. Ascending the Yuejiang Tower for a distant view, the vast scenery of the Yangtze River is fully in sight, which is refreshing and pleasing to the mind.Maximus_Blackwood-59
Nanjing Hidden Gems: Yijiangmen—Yuejiang Tower—Xiuqiu Park—XiaotaoyuanTake Exit 4 of Zhujiang Road Station on Line 1, and across the street on the left-hand side of the exit, take bus 100 directly to Yijiangmen. Yijiangmen offers free access to the city wall, where you can walk and see the ancient and modern scenery blend together until you reach Yuejiang Tower. The entrance fee for Yuejiang Tower is 40 yuan. In the spring of 1374 (the 7th year of the Hongwu era), Zhu Yuanzhang built a pavilion on Lion Mountain and personally named it Yuejiang Tower, also writing 'Inscription on Yuejiang Tower'. Xiuqiu Park is named after Xiuqiu Mountain, echoing the image of a lion playing with an embroidered ball. The flowers in Xiuqiu Park are blooming beautifully, with wisteria also competing for attention. It seems the older I get, the more I enjoy the competitive blooming of spring. Currently, there are hydrangeas and separate small flowers blooming; in another week, the 'Endless Summer' variety will also bloom, making it even more beautiful then. The hydrangeas in Wuchao Gate Park are also incredibly beautiful, so you might want to visit there first. Then, take a stroll in Xiaotaoyuan. A hundred years ago, this place was already covered with peach blossoms, hence the name 'Xiaotaoyuan'. Today's Xiaotaoyuan Park remains the largest peach blossom viewing area within Nanjing city. To end the trip, take bus 100 back to Xinjiekou and enjoy some ice cream at Sister Ping's hotpot restaurant.AmeliaAinsworth82
Nanjing | The 'Number One Tower in the South of the Yangtze' that only exists in poetryNanjing's Yuejiang Tower is also a legend. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the founder Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang personally chose the site and wrote the 'Record of Yuejiang Tower', even ordering his ministers to each write an article. Unfortunately, due to various factors, Yuejiang Tower was never completed and only the foundation remained. In the verses passed down by later generations of literati, the uncompleted Yuejiang Tower became known as the 'Number One Tower in the South of the Yangtze'. In 1998, the government began to promote the construction of Yuejiang Tower, investing more than 40 million yuan in the main building alone, with the total project reaching over 200 million yuan. In September 2001, the project was completed and opened to the public, now a national 4A tourist attraction. The main building of Yuejiang Tower is quite impressive, as it is a later-built imitation of ancient architecture. The interior is 'glittering with gold and jade', and there are some small commodities for sale. You can take an elevator directly to the top floor, where the view is indeed good. After descending, I saw people taking wedding photos here, which is indeed suitable. On the road, you can see many little lions on the railings, each with an interesting expression. Overall, the walk is fine, with a heavy cultural attribute. I heard the night view is quite good, but that's for next time. For the tour, I entered through the south gate and exited through the east gate, which took a little over an hour. The ticket price is 40 yuan.cassiansteel86

Yuejiang Tower Scenic AreaLocated in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the Yuejiang Tower Scenic Area features a building modeled after Ming Dynasty architecture, with red pillars and a golden glazed tile roof that is strikingly bright. Ascending the Yuejiang Tower, one can take in the vast panorama of the Yangtze River, which is refreshing and pleasing to the eye. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he renamed Lulong Mountain to Lion Mountain, decreed the construction of Yuejiang Tower, and personally wrote 'Yuejiang Tower Record'. He also ordered all literati to write a 'Yuejiang Tower Record', among which the one written by Grand Academician Song Lian was the best and was later included in 'Guwen Guanzhi'.marcellathornfield85

The four famous buildings in Jiangnan refer to Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Yueyang Tower, Nanchang Tengwang Pavilion and Nanjing Yuejiang Building. The peculiarity of Yuejiang Tower is that in the 7th year of Ming Hongwu (1374), Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang laid down the Yuejiang Building in the northwest of Nanjing City. After the completion of the foundation, the construction was suddenly suspended until September 2001. Completed. Before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once commanded tens of thousands of ambushes on the Lion Rock, defeated the strong attack of the enemy, Chen Youliang, 400,000 horses, laid the foundation for the establishment of the Daming Dynasty, and later decided to build the Yuejiang Tower on the top of the Lion. The Yuejiang Tower is connected to the city wall of Nanjing, and the Yuejiang Tower can be overlooked. The Yuejiang Building, completed in 2001, seems to lack a little ancient charm. Because the design materials of the Ming Dynasty were long gone, it was built with a more modern reinforced concrete structure instead of a wooden structure. The Yujiang Building displays the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and China's splendid technology and civilization during the Ming Dynasty. The Yuejiang Building is adjacent to the Yangtze River and is a strategic location. Building a city wall here is a natural danger, and it is easy to defend. Walking along the Yuejiang Tower, this section of the city is full of ancient charm. Nanjing was the capital of the early Ming Dynasty. The existing walls were mostly Ming City Walls. At that time, Nanjing's city walls were the longest and strongest city walls in the world.River2014.
I have seen Jinghai Temple and walked to Yuejiang Building on foot. "One river runs through the sea and thousands of miles, two memories of the six hundred autumns." This wonderful couplet is a true portrayal of the six hundred years of the Yuejiang Tower. It is located on the main peak of Lion Rock and faces the Yangzizi River. It is one of the classical buildings of Nanjing landmark. In the record, it is one of the "four famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River" with the same name as Yueyang Tower, Tengwang Pavilion and Yellow Crane Tower. But in history, it is just a "castle in the air" that exists on paper. After the 600 years, a real Jinxiu Pavilion finally stood on the Lion Rock.carina..

It’s okay to stand on the roof. I can’t see anything in other places. It’s blocked by high-rise buildings. You can go up and see it. It’s not so worth it. If you have enough time, you will come and stroll around. It won’t be so disappointed.
It is very convenient to book tickets online. The on-site ID card is directly entered the scenic spot ～ The whole scenic spot is lush and beautiful! There are a lot of tourist buses. Since the scenic spot is quite large, people have diluted it. We have old and small, limited physical strength, only went to the building, and other attractions have not gone. It is a pity ～
Good attractions with few people and many stories, Emperor Qianlong gave the name Yuejiang Building, the place where the great pioneer Sun Yat-sen came by, facing the Yangtze River, looking at the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, quiet and relaxing place, highly recommended
One of the four famous buildings in Jiangnan, it is really high to see the opposite bank, that is, there are too many stairs, not suitable for the elderly, but many steps have seats, very user-friendly, the scenic spot can actually develop more projects, only Yuejiang Building is slightly monotonous, I can't stop the wall next to it. I don't know why. I guess it may be free. But it's too waste of time to cross the road.
Yuejiang Building is one of the top ten historical and cultural buildings in China. Yuejiang Building metaphorically means the meaning of Yuejiang Range Rover. The main building is 52 meters high. Biwa Zhu Ying and Yuan Caiying are typical of the royal architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. It is one of Nanjing's iconic cultural buildings. Upstairs you can overlook the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. Next to it is Yifengmen.
It's so beautiful. On the roof, you can see the panoramic view of the Yangtze River Bridge. The view inside the building is also very beautiful.
Aboard the Yuejiang Building can overlook the majestic position of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge and take pictures here.
The price of the attraction is not high, the adult ticket is 40 yuan, climb the stairs to the observation deck and go up to the attic, and then climb the stairs from the attic to the place where the river is seen. The place is relatively small. Only the northeast corner can see the Yangtze River. The west has been blocked by the flowery high-rise buildings. The scenic spot is still being renovated, it is noisy, I personally feel that there are two decorations that are not suitable for opening or charging.
