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".
