Jiaxiu Tower

Jiaxiu Tower is a famous historical building in Guiyang. It was first built in the Ming Dynasty, then destroyed and rebuilt, and renamed "Laifeng Pavilion". In the Qing Dynasty, Jiaxiu Tower was rebuilt many times and restored to its original name. The existing building was rebuilt in the first year of the Xuantong reign (1909).

As a tourist attraction, Jiaxiu Tower is too small. After passing the memorial archway, you will reach Hanbi Pavilion. After passing the pavilion, Jiaxiu Tower is right in front of you. Although it cannot be compared with the ancient buildings that have been passed down for thousands of years in other places, this place is in the center of Guiyang, surrounded by beautiful scenery, and it is quiet in the drizzle in the early morning. It can be called the "Jiaxiu" of Guiyang. Half an hour of sightseeing time is enough, and you can also go to Cuiwei Garden behind it. Several scenes are quite interesting and worth a visit.

The building is not big, and calligraphy and paintings are sold on the third floor (free entry). The Cuiwei Garden next to it has become a teahouse, but the garden is still open to visitors for free. Jiaxiu Tower and Cuiwei Garden close at 6:30 pm. A special visit may be disappointing, so it is better to take a walk along the Nanming River after dinner to digest the food, and watch the ordinary but happy life of Guiyang citizens after get off work. The Jiaxiu Tower with lights on at night seems to be more integrated into the homes of ordinary people than the Jiaxiu Tower in the daytime. There is no special parking lot for Jiaxiu Tower, but it is located in the downtown area of Guiyang, so it is very convenient to find a parking lot in the shopping mall. It is best to live nearby, park your car at the hotel, and walk around by yourself. In fact, most people don’t know much about Jiaxiu Tower, which I think is normal. Because there is no text that makes it well-known.

Jiaxiu Tower is a landmark building in Guiyang City, but when we came, Jiaxiu Tower was closed, and tourists are not allowed to go up to the tower even during business hours. We came late today, so we can only see the night view of Jiaxiu Tower. In front of Jiaxiu Tower flows the Mingyang River. Although the night view of Mingyang River is not as good as that of Tianjin Haihe River, standing by the river to look at Jiaxiu Tower and blowing the humid air unique to the south is also a different kind of enjoyment for us northerners. In order to facilitate tourists to view Jiaxiu Tower, the scenic area built a viewing platform by the river.

The next day, I went to Jiaxiu Tower but could only look at it from the first floor and could not go up to the top of the building. I was very disappointed.

Jiaxiu Tower is free to visit, and you can register to visit it during the day with valid certificates. Jiaxiu Tower has a three-story, three-eave, four-corner structure, which is unique among ancient buildings. The modern high-rise buildings behind Jiaxiu Tower give people a sense of time and space. Walking along the Nanming River, you can see Jiaxiu Tower from a distance, and its reflection in the water complements each other, which is very beautiful.

Jiaxiu Tower was built in the 26th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1598) at the initiative of Jiang Dongzhi, the then governor of Guizhou. The name of the building was "outstanding in the imperial examinations" to encourage students to make progress in the imperial examinations and change the situation of scarce talents in Guizhou. Jiaxiu Tower is a three-story, three-eaved, four-cornered, pointed-roofed wooden and stone attic with white stone railings and layers of inward-looking roofs. It is a rare and isolated building in the history of ancient Chinese architecture. The overall red beams and green tiles set off the Nanming River and Hanbitan. The scenic area includes Fuyu Bridge (the original nine-hole stone bridge, with seven holes remaining, and the bridge body is carved with "stone dragon spitting water"), Hanbi Pavilion (the column is engraved with the famous Qing Dynasty couplet "Water comes out from the jade ring, and people walk in the green lotus petals") and Cuiwei Garden (ancient building complex of the Ming Dynasty, including Gongnan Pavilion, Longmen Academy, etc.), forming a unique landscape combination of "one bridge, one building and one pavilion".

Jiaxiu Tower, first built in the 26th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1598), is 426 years old. It is a landmark building in Guiyang and a must-see when visiting Guiyang. Jiaxiu Tower stands on a raised boulder in the Nanming River that runs through the city.

The landmark of Guiyang. The lighting is pretty good at night. There are many suspected Xiaohongshu users downstairs who are traveling and taking photos of ethnic costumes. You can go up to the building during the day, and there is a Cuiwei Garden next to it.

Guiyang Jiaxiu Tower, this quaint building standing on the bank of Nanming River, is undoubtedly a shining pearl in Guiyang. As a cultural landmark with a long history, it not only carries the charm of Ming Dynasty architecture, but also reflects the long years of Guiyang's development. During the day, the water and mountains surrounding Jiaxiu Tower make people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are stepping into an exquisite ink painting. When night falls, Jiaxiu Tower shows another style, with bright lights and sparkling water surface, forming a moving night scene, which attracts countless tourists to stop and watch and praise it.

The main structure of Jiaxiu Tower is not large, with only three floors. Cultural exhibitions are occasionally held inside, and the Cuiwei Garden outside is also a rare quiet place. The combination of the two makes the entire tour experience richer and more diverse.

Jiaxiu Tower is not only a highly ornamental scenic spot, but also a window to understand Guiyang's history and culture. It is a good place worth visiting for travelers who love to explore ancient sites or citizens who are looking for a relaxing corner of the city. Here, you can slow down and feel the tranquility and beauty that spans centuries, allowing your soul to rest for a moment.

As a landmark building in Guiyang, it is right on the roadside and the night view is quite beautiful. It does not need to be listed as a separate itinerary, you can stop by to take a look, it does not take much time, and there are many restaurants around, so you can eat and stroll around.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573-1620), the governor of Guizhou, Jiang Dongzhi, first advocated the construction of Jiaxiu Tower. The name "Jiaxiu" had a profound meaning. It not only deliberately pointed out that Guiyang's landscape was the most beautiful in Qianzhong, but also encouraged people to study hard.

I went there at night and all the attractions were closed. If you live nearby or are passing by, you can just wander around, but there is no need to go there specially.

It has to be said that as a landmark building representing the local history and culture in a provincial capital city, Jiaxiu Tower is still somewhat inferior to famous towers and pagodas in other places, both in terms of scenery and history.

In the Qing Dynasty, Jiaxiu Tower was rebuilt many times and restored to its original name. The existing building was rebuilt in the first year of Xuantong (1909). Jiaxiu Tower has three floors, with white stone railings, which are gradually retracted. The height from the bridge deck to the top of the building is about 20 meters. The Nanming River flows in front of the building and converges into Hanbitan. The side of the building is connected to the two banks by a stone arch "Fuyu Bridge". There was originally a small pavilion on the bridge called "Hanbitan Pavilion". Jiaxiu Tower has red beams and green tiles, surrounded by water and mountains, which is in line with its name and can be called Jiaxiu.

For someone like me who loves natural scenery, Jiaxiu Tower may just be an ancient building, purely a place to check in in Guizhou.

There is no chance to see the night view at night, so I can only check in during the day.

It is rare to find a quiet place in a bustling city. There are a few scenic spots in Guiyang city that are worth visiting.

It has convenient transportation, beautiful riverside scenery, and a strong contrast between the past and the present.

Located on the river, the scenery nearby is beautiful. It is also a place for local residents to relax. There is a small exhibition hall in the building. Go and have a look when you arrive in Guiyang city.

The Jiaxiu Tower is very historic and very beautiful...

Jiaxiu Tower stands on the Wan'ao Rock on the Nanming River in Guiyang, and is a witness to Guiyang's history and culture.

When I came here, it was under renovation and I was not allowed to go in. I could only watch from a distance.

A garden in a city. The buildings are quite historic. Of course, what you see now were rebuilt later.

Jiaxiu Tower is a famous landmark in Guiyang, located in the center of the old city, with the Nanming River, the mother river of Guiyang, at its doorstep. It is a must-visit place for tourists to Guiyang. The night view is very beautiful, especially in summer. In this summer resort, the summer night is very cool. Watching the elderly taking a walk in the evening, you can feel the daily life of this city.

After dinner, we went to visit Jiaxiu Tower at night. It was a pity that the lights were only turned on a little, not fully. It would have been very beautiful if they were fully turned on.

Jiaxiu Tower was first built in the Ming Dynasty on a huge rock in the Nanming River. There are water birds on the river, but they don't fly unless the time comes.

The uncles and aunts who went on the tour group said that Jiaxiu Tower was a must-see attraction and that there was nothing to see. But they came during the day. I think it is very beautiful at night when the lights are bright. The disadvantage of coming at night is that you cannot enter the park and can only see the lights.

Jiaxiu Tower: Guiyang's landmark building. In the night, under the lighting, it looks even more beautiful.

There are quite a few tourists in the evening, but it is not noisy. Strolling across the beautiful "Nine Eyes Shining on the Sandbank" - Fuyu Bridge, the Jiaxiu Tower on the opposite bank is particularly quiet under the dim moon, with the lights reflected on the tiles, and it is bright and colorful. I imagine that the ancients brewed tea and drank it here, drank wine in the winding stream, admired the scenery and wrote poems, sang and sang together, and the music was lively and grand. It was a charming scene and a beautiful scene.

The landscape lights at night are quite beautiful, and with the modern high-rise buildings next to them, they have a unique charm. There are people dancing in the square and playing spinning tops in the square next to them, which is very pleasant. Of course, there are also tourists who stop to take pictures.

"Jiaxiu Tower" is located on a huge rock in the middle of Nanming River in the southeast of Guiyang City.

On the north bank, there is a carved stone archway with four pillars, three doors and five floors. On the plaque in the middle are four large characters "South City Scenic Spot". In the middle of the bridge stands a pavilion with four corners, four pillars, a single flying eaves and a pointed roof. This is the "Hanbi Pavilion". On the south bank is the ancient building complex "Cuiwei Garden". The pavilions, corridors and black tiles and white walls in the garden are where the Ming Dynasty educator Wang Yangming gave lectures.

"Jiaxiu Tower" is built on a huge rock in the river, with a stone base, white carved stone railings, three floors, 12 stone square columns, green tubular tiles, single flying eaves, and four corners with pointed roofs.

Check in at landmark attractions

It's a small scenic spot with a good night view. It's worth seeing.

The night view is a must-see, it is beautiful and the design is tasteful

Jiaxiu Tower is located on the Nanming River in the south of Guiyang City, but it has been submerged in high-rise buildings and has lost its ancient grandeur, but the night view is still very beautiful.

I went there at night. There were a lot of people. It is a landmark of Guiyang.

The general feeling is that of a riverside park in the city, but when the colorful lights are turned on at night, it still has an antique feel. It is suitable for taking pictures.

After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many literati and poets liked to gather here to chant poems and write couplets. The museum displays ten famous poems. Many poems are really well written. I have to admire the ancient talents. If you are interested, you can go in and read them.

The night view is much more beautiful than the daytime.

Jiaxiu Tower is located on the Aoji Rock of Nanming River in Nanming District, Guiyang City. It is considered a symbol of Guiyang City. Although it is already night, I still came to take a look.

Jiaxiu Tower is a landmark building in Guiyang. Anyone who has been to Guiyang will go up to enjoy the view. Jiaxiu Tower was first built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The existing building was rebuilt during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty. The three-story building stands on the Aoji Stone, with the Nanming River flowing in front of it. Walking across the Fuyu Bridge connecting Jiaxiu Tower, you will reach Cuiwei Garden, where pavilions and waterside pavilions have a Jiangnan style. There are many stone-carved poems and couplets on the stone pillars and archways of Jiaxiu Tower, among which the 170-character long couplet is the most famous, which summarizes the geographical situation and historical changes of the mountain city of Guiyang. The night view of Jiaxiu Tower is particularly beautiful, and the lights are brilliant when viewed from a distance.

Jiaxiu Tower is probably the most deceptive attraction. When we arrived in the evening, we felt that it could not even be called a tourist attraction!

At night, the neon lights shine brightly, giving you a different kind of surprise. Jiaxiu Tower can only be seen at night...

We went there just for the night view, it was pretty good, the location was not too remote, you can go and have a look if you have time

I went there at night, but the lights were off that day, so I didn't think it was that beautiful.

The night view is pretty good, suitable for photography enthusiasts. The river, which doesn't look good during the day, can reflect the reflection of Jiaxiu Tower at night, and you can get countless likes by posting it on WeChat Moments.

Jiaxiu Tower is a historical and cultural landmark of Guiyang. It’s not a big place, so it’s nice to take a quick walk around and take some photos.

Jiaxiu Tower is located on the Nanming River in the south of Guiyang City and was built on a huge rock in the river.

In the evening, Jiaxiu Tower looks particularly solemn and majestic under the setting sun. Jiaxiu Tower is not open to the public, so tourists cannot enter and can only walk on the bridge below to admire it.

At night, Jiaxiu Tower appears dignified and beautiful under the light, and its unique and transcendent temperament is further highlighted by the surrounding neon high-rise buildings.

The Jiaxiu Tower is brightly lit at night, and there are many photography enthusiasts like me who are looking for the most beautiful angles to capture the Jiaxiu Tower.

When traveling to Guiyang, you must check in at Jiaxiu Tower. It is very beautiful when the lights are on at night.

To be honest, I just went there to check in and take some photos. The scenery is really average and there is not enough historical and cultural heritage.

The night view is OK, you can go and see it if you are not far away.

Jiaxiu Tower is open to the public for free during the day. It is said that the top floor is a teahouse, but since it is closed on Mondays, we just walked around the periphery. There are tourist sidewalks on both sides of the river. If the weather is good, there will probably be many people doing morning exercises and walking.

Jiaxiu Tower is actually just a pavilion. There is a Cuiwei Garden next to it, which is also quite small. To be honest, there is no need to make a special trip.

Guiyang Jiaxiu Tower is really different during the day and at night. It is a common sight during the day, but extremely beautiful at night. So you can go there at night, but if it is not blue sky and white clouds during the day, you don't need to go there.

I went up to Jiaxiu Tower late, but didn't go in. The view at night was still good.

As the most famous landmark in Guiyang, Jiaxiu Tower should be a must-visit place for everyone who comes to Guiyang.

The group of traditional buildings under the blue sky and white clouds is Jiaxiu Tower.

Standing on the bridge, you can see modern Guiyang all around. It is rare to preserve this tradition in the bustling city center.

Compared with the surrounding high-rise buildings, the imagined Jiaxiu Tower is a bit smaller, but its dignity and heaviness are still there.

It is no longer possible to climb up the tower and look out from afar, so it is still necessary to go inside and take a look.

I personally think that Jiaxiu Tower is worth visiting. First of all, you don't need a ticket. Second, the night view of Jiaxiu Tower is still very beautiful. In the morning, it is mediocre. You can come here for a walk after dinner. You can finish the view in half an hour.

Suitable for a walk along the river after dinner 🚶, nothing to see
