Chaoyang Gate Tower

Chaoyang Gate Tower was originally the gate tower of the eastern gate of Jianshui County. It was built in the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty.

The tower rises three stories high, overlooking the thousands of households of the county, just like the famous Yellow Crane (Huang He) Tower in Wuhan and the Yueyang Tower in Hunan. In the old days it was cited as "a grand view in southern Yunnan".
