Jiujiang Xunyang Tower | A Harmonious Dance of Ancient Charm and Natural Scenery

| A Harmonious Dance of Ancient Charm and Natural Scenery. 📍Jiujiang Xunyang Tower stands elegantly by the Xunyang River, hiding a series of ancient and elegant architectural relics. In the past, it was complemented by buildings such as the Jiangtian Lock Key Tower, Wenfeng Pagoda, and four majestic iron oxen. However, with the passage of time, only the Lock River Tower and Wenfeng Pagoda remain standing, telling the story of past glories. 🔒The Lock River Tower, also known as the "Jiangtian Lock Key Tower," has a profound meaning, aiming to tame the turbulent river waters and pray for stable years and abundant harvests. It is said that this tower was modeled after the wisdom of Yu the Great in controlling floods and once had iron oxen guarding the waters. However, with the changes of history, the traces of the four oxen have disappeared amidst wars and earthquakes. 🎖Today, this place has been listed as a provincial important cultural heritage protection unit. "Hundreds of reeds sway with the waves around the shore, and the scenery of Huangmei Mountain comes across the river." Standing on the viewing platform of the Lock River Tower, looking up at the clear sky and down at the shimmering river, the entire beautiful scenery of the river and sky is in full view, making one feel refreshed and happy. 🗼Wenfeng Pagoda, regarded as a feng shui tower in the hearts of Xunyang people, is located on Huilongji by the Yangtze River, hence also known as the "Huilong Tower." This pagoda combines stone carving and brick construction, presenting a six-sided conical shape, towering seven stories high, over thirty meters tall. Each eave corner is hung with copper wind chimes, swaying with the wind, producing crisp and pleasant sounds. Climbing to the top of the tower, looking through the archway into the distance, the majestic and spectacular Lushan Mountain range and the scenery of Xun City are in full view, just as the ancient poem says: "As far as the eye can see, Wu and Chu stretch for a thousand miles, and the waves converge under the tower into Jiujiang." 😉In your leisure time, you are sincerely invited to visit the Lock River Tower, to witness the grandeur of the Yangtze River and feel the majestic momentum of "As far as the eye can see, Wu and Chu stretch for a thousand miles, and the waves converge under the tower into Jiujiang." Inside the tower, you can also visit the digital cultural experience hall that integrates Jiujiang with water, closely admire the bronze ox sculpture symbolizing water control, and experience a different cultural charm. 💖Come and immerse yourself in this unique charm!
