Built in the Ming Dynasty, its name was taken from the famous poem "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang". It is one of the three major scenic spots in Wuhan along with the Yellow Crane Tower and Guqin Terrace.
The pavilion is divided into two floors, with corridors along the eaves, which reproduces the magnificent style of the Chu people building platforms on the mountains and pavilions on the platforms, and is full of the rich flavor of Chu culture.
Qingchuan Pavilion and Yellow Crane Tower face each other, south and north of the river, the pavilions face each other and set off each other, which is magnificent and known as the "Three Chu Holy Lands".
From the end of March to the beginning of April every year, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms next to the quaint Qingchuan Pavilion. The best place to view the cherry blossoms in Qingchuan Pavilion is the cherry blossom forest in the back garden of Qingchuan Holiday Hotel.

The ancients have gone away on the yellow crane, leaving only the Yellow Crane Tower here.
The yellow crane has gone away and will never return, and the white clouds float in the sky for thousands of years.
The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island.
Where is my hometown at dusk? The misty river makes me sad.
Qingchuan Pavilion is named after this ancient poem, and that's why I came here. After all, this building is across the river from the Yellow Crane Tower. Since you have seen the Yellow Crane Tower, how can you not visit it? The entire Qingchuan Pavilion scenic area is free. The Qingchuan Pavilion is antique, a bit like the buildings in the palace and the royal palace when I went to Beijing. The Qingchuan Pavilion is not high, it seems to be about three floors, but because it is a bit high, it looks magnificent from below, but it is definitely not as high as the Yellow Crane Tower, and it is not as magnificent as the Yellow Crane Tower. It was already evening when I went there, and there were few tourists. In addition, the entrance fee was free. It was generally quiet and worth a visit.
Wuhan~Qingchuan Pavilion. It is located on the north side of Han River and the east side of Yangtze River. It is across the river from Yellow Crane Tower on Snake Mountain in Wuchang. It is one of the three major scenic spots in Wuhan and the most famous tower in Chutian. It is antique and has a good fragrance. Although it is free, there are few visitors. I was lucky enough to enter at 16:20. I only had a quick tour for half an hour before it closed. Looking at the Yangtze River, I revisited the famous poem by Cui Hao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty:
The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island.
Where is my hometown at dusk? The misty river makes me sad.
The clear river is clear, the trees and grass of Hanyang are thick, and the Parrot Island is lush.
▲Location: Qingchuan Pavilion
It is known as "the first famous building in Chutian". It is a relatively less visited attraction in Wuhan, but I think it is worth visiting because it is free of charge.
▲Environment: This scenic spot consists of three large main buildings, namely Qingchuan Pavilion, Yuji Palace and Tiemenguan, and other ancillary buildings.
▲Recommendation: Guishan Mountain is next to Qingchuan Pavilion
From Qingchuan Pavilion, walk along Guishan Mountain to Hanyangzao
God knows how long it took me to get here
You can see the Yangtze River from the top of Qingchuan Pavilion
But due to the weather, I will see a gray haze.
It is said that you can see the Yellow Crane Tower.
I found that many scenic spots in Wuhan have people taking wedding photos
Well, I think it’s good to shoot here
▲Service: No need to queue
Its name is taken from the famous poem "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang". It is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. It is one of the three major scenic spots in Wuhan, along with the Yellow Crane Tower and the Guqin Terrace. The pavilion is divided into two floors, with corridors along the eaves, which authentically reproduces the magnificent style of the Chu people building terraces on the mountains and pavilions on the terraces, and is full of the rich Chu cultural atmosphere. Qingchuan Pavilion faces the Yellow Crane Tower, and the pavilions on the south and north of the river face each other, setting off each other, which is spectacular and is known as the "Three Chu Holy Lands". Qingchuan Pavilion is adjacent to the Han River in the north and the Yangtze River in the east. It faces the Yellow Crane Tower on Sheshan Mountain in Wuchang across the river. It is the only scenic spot and historic site facing the river in Wuhan, and is known as the "First Famous Tower in Chutian".
Qingchuan Pavilion is located on the eastern foot of Guishan Mountain in Hanyang, Wuhan, and on the bank of the Yangtze River. It faces the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. It was named after Cui Hao's "Qingchuan clearly shows the trees in Hanyang" and is one of the oldest existing scenic spots in Wuhan. It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and has been renovated many times since then. It is now an ancient building complex that integrates gardens and pavilions. The red walls and black tiles are particularly elegant among the green trees. Climbing up the pavilion and looking into the distance, the Yangtze River rolls eastward, and the river breeze blows on your face with water vapor. The flying eaves and corners of the Yellow Crane Tower on the opposite bank are clearly visible, and the Tiemenguan ruins at your feet tell a thousand-year story. The ancient cypress in the courtyard stands quietly, with occasional crisp bird calls, allowing people to find a leisurely and quiet place in the hustle and bustle of the city.
Not far from Tiemenguan is Qingchuan Pavilion, and admission to Qingchuan Pavilion is free.
Since its establishment, Qingchuan Pavilion has experienced several ups and downs. The existing building was rebuilt in the 1980s based on historical pictures.
There are few tourists in the scenic area, so it is very quiet. Girls who like taking pictures can go there. It is suitable for taking ancient style photos.
It was first built between the 26th and 28th years of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1547-1549 AD). It was added by Fan Zhizhen, the governor of Hanyang, when he was renovating the Yuji Palace. It was named after the poem by Cui Hao, "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island." The Qingchuan Pavilion on the north bank of the Yangtze River and the eastern foot of Turtle Mountain faces the Yellow Crane Tower on the south bank of the Yangtze River and the top of Snake Mountain. The towers face each other and complement each other, creating a spectacular sight.
Qingchuan Pavilion, also known as Qingchuan Tower, is a national key cultural relic protection unit and a national AAA-level tourist attraction. It is known as one of the three major scenic spots in Wuhan along with Yellow Crane Tower and Guqin Terrace.
Qingchuan Pavilion is located on Yugongji at the eastern foot of Guishan Mountain in Hanyang, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. It was built between the 26th and 28th years of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1547-1549 AD). It was added by Fan Zhizhen, the prefect of Hanyang, when he was renovating the Yuji Palace (originally the Temple of King Yu). It was named after the poem by Cui Hao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island."
Qingchuan Pavilion is located on the north side of Han River and the east side of Yangtze River. It faces Yellow Crane Tower on Sheshan Mountain in Wuchang across the river. It is the only scenic spot and historic site facing the river in Wuhan and is known as "the most famous tower in Chutian".
It is really highly recommended. You can enter for free with your ID card. It is not a particularly popular attraction. There are many people taking wedding photos, not many tourists, and you can have a panoramic view of the Yangtze River Bridge here.
Qingchuan Pavilion is one of the three famous scenic spots in Wuhan along with Yellow Crane Tower and Guqin Terrace. Take advantage of the good weather and take a stroll. Qingchuan Pavilion is free of charge, but it is very quiet and antique, very suitable for taking photos.
Qingchuan Pavilion, also known as Qingchuan Tower, is named after the poem by Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hao: "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers Yingwu Island." It faces the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. It is the only scenic spot and historical site facing the river in Wuhan and is known as the "No. 1 Tower in Chutian".
Qingchuan Pavilion, also known as Qingchuan Tower, is a national 3A tourist attraction and a free tourist attraction. Although I went there during the Qingming Festival, there were not many people here. This is an attraction that I was very satisfied with during my trip to Wuhan. Especially when you climb up to the front of the tower entrance, the scenery is still very good. It is really a scenic spot worth visiting.
Qingchuan Pavilion is located on Yugongji, on the eastern foot of Guishan Mountain in Hanyang, Wuhan. It was first built between the 26th and 28th years of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1547-1549 AD). It was added by Hanyang Governor Fan Zhizhen when he was renovating Yuji Palace (formerly Yuwang Temple). It was named after the poem by Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hao: "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers Yingwu Island". Qingchuan Pavilion is adjacent to Hanshui River in the north and Yangtze River in the east. It faces the Yellow Crane Tower on Sheshan Mountain in Wuchang across the river. It is the only scenic spot and historic site facing the river in Wuhan and is known as "the first famous tower in Chutian".
The Qingchuan Pavilion is not big, but it is antique, which is very suitable for wearing Hanfu and taking some costume photos. There is a background board for the circle of friends, which is quite interesting to take photos.
It is located on the banks of the Yangtze River in Hanyang, Wuhan City, between Guishan Mountain and the Yangtze River, facing the Yellow Crane Tower.
The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island. Where is my hometown at dusk? The misty river makes me sad.
Very good, I recommend you to go there if you have time.
The Qingchuan Pavilion scenic area is free of charge, and the scenery after the snow is even more unique. If the weather is good, you can also see the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the Yellow Crane Tower opposite.
Tiemenguan, Qingchuan Pavilion and Yuji Palace are together. The city walls, round carved window lattices, stone-carved corridors... and the red, white and gray color scheme of Yuji Palace attracted me, but unfortunately I couldn't get the desired effect in the backlight.
Built in the Ming Dynasty, its name was taken from the poem "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island." It is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. It faces the Han River to the north and the Yangtze River to the east. It faces the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. The towers face each other and set off each other, which is spectacular. It is free of admission and is generally quiet. Many people take wedding photos there.
It is a national key cultural relic protection unit and the only scenic spot and historic site facing the river in Wuhan.
During the cherry blossom season, go to Qingchuan Pavilion to enjoy the cherry blossoms. There are not as many people as Wuhan University, but the cherry blossoms are just as beautiful. Next to it is the Hanyang River Beach, where you can relax and enjoy the breeze.
The scenery is beautiful, suitable for costume photos, and you can see the Yangtze River Bridge from a high place, and there is no entrance fee. But we were in a hurry and didn't enjoy it to the fullest.
This is a good spot to view the river, and there is a Yuwang Temple inside.
The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island, where is my hometown at dusk? The misty river makes me sad!
Qingchuan Pavilion is free to visit, and it enshrines Dayu, so that people will always remember Dayu's contributions and his spirit of flood control. However, since there is a scene at every step, many photography studios shoot wedding photos and portraits in it, which is a bit incompatible with Dayu's spirit.
The Qingchuan Pavilion scenic area is really small.
The attic is not very high, fortunately it is free, and the yard is clean and tidy, so there is no need to sigh when walking around. Just treat it as walking on the street.
The river view from Qingchuan Pavilion is certainly not as good as that from Yellow Crane Tower.
So if you want to see far, you still have to climb high.
But it is quite interesting to see the buildings facing each other across the Yangtze River.
As for the Yellow Crane Tower, the tower was built first, and then the countless poems were written about it.
As for Qingchuan Pavilion, I'm afraid the poem came first, and then this small building facing the river was built.
No matter which one it is, it has become Wuhan's city card after a hundred years.
The ancient Qingchuan Pavilion is hidden in the lush greenery. (I personally think that the reconstruction of Qingchuan Pavilion did not well preserve the old feeling of the ancient building, it is too new).
The main building is Qingchuan Pavilion. The four characters "Qingchuan Lili" are particularly eye-catching.
Many people in the scenic area took wedding photos or artistic photos. (There were many young people wearing costumes and half-frame gold-rimmed glasses taking photos.)
Recommendation index: five stars. At first I thought Tiemenguan was Qingchuan Pavilion, but I didn't expect there was something else inside. After passing Tiemenguan, go forward to Qingchuan Pavilion, where you can see the river view. There are many people wearing Hanfu taking pictures along the way.
It's right by the river. You can enter by swiping your ID card and enjoy the river view. It feels pretty good.
It is definitely a tourist attraction in Wuhan (there are really no tourist attractions in Wuhan). It is free, you can see the Yangtze River Bridge, and the buildings are also beautiful. I recommend that you go directly to the Yellow Crane Tower after climbing Guishan Mountain after exiting the Guqintai subway station. After you are done climbing Guishan Mountain, turn left and you can take a ferry to the Yellow Crane Tower. The ferry is good, but the 10 yuan ticket is a bit expensive.
It's free with an ID card. The garden is not big and you can finish the tour in about an hour. You can take a panoramic photo of Qingchuan Pavilion for free and print it on a small card, but you usually have to spend another 20 yuan to buy an enlarged laminated photo. It's worth a visit.
Qingchuan Pavilion is located on Yugongji on Xima Street, at the eastern foot of Guishan Mountain in Hanyang District, Wuhan City. It is bordered by the Han River to the north and the Yangtze River to the east. It faces the Yellow Crane Tower across the river.
A very good free attraction, with Yuji Palace and Tiemenguan Pass, where you can overlook the Yangtze River and the bridge. You may not even be able to see the Yellow Crane Tower on a smoggy day.
Qingchuan Pavilion is my favorite attraction in Wuhan. It is very small and has a nice view. Remember that the poem came first, and then the Qingchuan Pavilion.
Qingchuan Pavilion is located near the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. It is a two-story pavilion on the Yangtze River. It is very beautiful. It houses a statue of Dayu and introduces Wuhan's flood prevention. The scenic spot is free to visit. You can enter by swiping your ID card. It takes about 30 minutes to visit.
The scenery is nice, but the attraction is a bit small, so I deducted points. No tickets are required, and there are many places to play around. It is very close to Hanyangzao and Qintai, and can be reached by bus.
No tickets are required, and it's nice to look across the river from the Yellow Crane Tower.
Qingchuan Pavilion, a famous scenic spot in Wuhan, is known as "the Three Chu Scenic Spots", "the Great View of the Ages" and "the First Building of Qingchuan in Chu". In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was a gathering place for scholars who "must visit from all directions". Many popular couplets were left behind, which endowed this beautiful and quiet garden with an ancient humanistic atmosphere, thus providing countless future generations with extremely beautiful artistic enjoyment. How can you not read it carefully when you come here?
Qingchuan Pavilion, facing Hanshui River in the north and Yangtze River in the east, is across the river from Yellow Crane Tower in Sheshan, Wuchang. It is the only scenic spot facing the river in Wuhan. It is known as "the first famous tower in Chutian" and is one of the three major scenic spots in Wuhan together with Yellow Crane Tower and Guqin Terrace. It was first built from the 26th to 28th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1547-1549 AD). It was added by Fan Zhizhen, the governor of Hanyang, when he was repairing Yuji Palace (originally Yuwang Temple). It was named after the poem of Cui Hao, a poet in Tang Dynasty, "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers Yingwu Island".
Although the history of Qingchuan Pavilion is not as long as that of Yellow Crane Tower and Yueyang Tower, it has won an important historical position due to its unique geographical environment, unique and beautiful shape, and praises from many literati and celebrities. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Qingchuan Pavilion "the first Qingchuan Tower in Chu State".
There is a famous "Yu Monument" in Qingchuan Pavilion, namely "Gǒu lǒu Monument", which originated from Gǒu Mountain, the main peak of Hengshan Mountain in Hunan. According to legend, when Huangdi visited Hengshan Mountain in the south, he left behind a "Jade Book". Yu followed its instructions and conquered the flood. After the great success, he sent the "Jade Book" back to Gǒu Mountain and erected this monument, so it is called "Yu Monument", which records Dayu's achievements in controlling floods.
The most famous one is the "Yuji Palace". Yu is Dayu. Ji refers to Houji, whose surname is Ji and whose name is Qi. He is the great-great-grandson of Huangdi and the eldest son of Emperor Ku. He was the official in charge of agriculture during the Yao and Shun periods and the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty. Dayu controlled floods and saved people from water and fire, while Ji taught people to grow grains and cereals to save people from hunger and cold, so Yu and Ji were called together. Yuji Palace (Yuwang Palace), originally named Dayu Temple, is one of the few representative wooden structures from the Qing Dynasty in Wuhan.
Personally, I think that apart from the beautiful scenery, what attracts my attention most about Qingchuan Pavilion is the couplets of varying lengths on the attic, each of which is full of witty words.
Couplet on the outside of the main entrance of Qingchuan Pavilion:
Two dragons are running in Lingdu, and the banks seem to be falling like the Milky Way;
The immortal’s trace is gone and the lonely crane is gone, only white clouds come across the river.
Written by Chen Wangzhi. Lingdu is a beautiful name for waterways. Shuanglong refers to the fact that Guishan Mountain faces the Yangtze River in front and the Han River in the north. The immortal and the Yellow Crane have disappeared without a trace.
Couplet on the inside of the main entrance of Qingchuan Pavilion:
The buildings are reaching up to the sky, I recall the immortals unbuttoning their belts, poets writing on their collars, when the weather was the best, sitting by the golden cups, I am glad that the green mountains opened their doors to me;
The source of the river encompasses the entire province, with endless views of the smoke from Ezhu, the trees from Hanyang, and pavilions like in a painting. Lying down and playing the jade flute, you can follow the bright moon across the river to the east.
This couplet is my favorite. It combines description of objects and scenery, romantic techniques, the interaction of reality and fantasy, and historical allusions into one. It is truly a rare masterpiece!
The couplet on the side of the main entrance of Qingchuan Pavilion was written by Qiu Shu, a juren in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. Because Qiu Shu's courtesy name was Xingshu, the signature was written as Qiu Xingshu.
Looking across the river to see the fairyland, asking the yellow crane on the rooftop, can the white clouds in the sky be retained by the river?
Go around the pavilion to find the scenic spots, look at the smoke and waves outside the trees, and the fragrant grass on the island is collected by the pavilion.
In the lobby on the first floor of Qingchuan Pavilion, there is a couplet inscribed by Zhang Zhidong:
The dragons and snakes of the continent follow their tracks;
The young parrot builds a tower.
Qingchuan Pavilion is just down the Yangtze River Bridge.
Free, opening hours: 9:00-17:00 (last admission at 16:30).
Closes at 15:00 every Thursday.
There are free tours at 9:30 and 14:30 every day.
There is a fee for guided tours: 100 yuan for Chinese and 150 yuan for English for groups of less than 30 people.
Qingchuan Pavilion got its name from the poem written by the poet Cui: "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island."
It was first built during the Jiajing period. The prefect of Hanyang proposed to build it when he was renovating the Yuji Palace in order to commemorate the achievements of Yu the Great.
There are three main theme buildings: Qingchuan Pavilion, Yuji Palace and Tiemenguan.
You can ride along the road on the right side of the Hanyangzao entrance to Qingchuan Pavilion, which is free to visit. You can go up to the second floor of Qingchuan Pavilion and sit on the eaves to have the feeling of the ancients overlooking the river. You can see the distant river, the rumble of the train passing by the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the Guishan TV Tower, the magnificent Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the lush vegetation, and the top ten rest viewing platforms.
Very average, not recommended if you go there for fun, but it's nice to take a ferry along the way
Take a ferry directly from the Yangtze River Bridge to the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. No tickets are required and you can enter by swiping your ID card. Although the terrain is not high, it is close enough to the river, so it is still a good choice for enjoying the scenery of the Yangtze River.
The trees of Hanyang are clearly visible in the clear river, and the Parrot Island is covered with lush grass. The Qingchuan Pavilion is exceptionally quiet in the drizzle. Including the two of us, there are only five tourists!
I'm late and I'm sorry I missed this place...
The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the lush grass covers the Parrot Island. Currently, this place is often visited by photographers.
The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island. This is the Qingchuan Pavilion, which faces the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. Although it is located in a bustling city, it is comfortable and safe. And no tickets are required, you can go in and visit by registering with your ID card.
Qingchuan Pavilion is located at the eastern foot of Guishan Mountain and faces the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. It is free to enter the park and visit Hanyang River Beach and Dayu Mythology Park (free)
When I saw the name of Qingchuan Pavilion, my first reaction was: Clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island. This is probably the first impression of Wuhan left in ancient poems.
You can enter Qingchuan Pavilion by swiping your ID card. Because it complements the Yellow Crane Tower on the opposite bank, it is called the "Three Chus". Stepping up the straight stairs and the red-edged white walls hidden behind the lush branches and leaves are quite artistic. Next to Qingchuan Pavilion is Tiemenguan, which is even older. It has been rebuilt and looks brand new. It still guards the city for more than a thousand years. At the same time, this is also the Yuji Palace, which enshrines King Yu, the Dayu who controlled the floods that we all heard about when we were young.
PS: Qingchuan Pavilion is not crowded, very suitable for taking pictures of Hanfu~
The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island.
Qingchuan Pavilion, also known as Qingchuan Tower, is a national AAA-level tourist attraction and is known as one of the three major scenic spots in Wuhan along with Yellow Crane Tower and Guqin Terrace.
Qingchuan Pavilion is a free attraction. You can visit it by swiping your second-generation ID card. I think it is worth visiting. Qingchuan Pavilion got its name from the "clear Hanyang trees" in Qingchuan Pavilion. You can see many couples taking wedding photos in Qingchuan Pavilion, and you can also overlook the Yangtze River Bridge.
"My old friend bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower and went to Yangzhou in the fireworks of March. The lone sail disappeared into the blue sky. Only the Yangtze River was seen flowing across the horizon" describes friendship, and "Last year, I went to Yangzhou and saw you off at the Yellow Crane Tower. My eyes watched the sail go far away, and my heart followed the river" describes longing. Since ancient times, many literati and poets have placed their emotions on this long river that runs through the city. So walking on the bridge, looking at the lone sail in the distance, and gazing at the vast Chu sky, you will feel relaxed and happy in an instant, and all your worries will disappear.
Because Hubu Lane is right next to the Yangtze River Bridge, you can stroll slowly on the Yangtze River Bridge in the afternoon when the sun is setting.
Dayu, who was controlling floods, passed by his home three times without entering. You can enter directly by scanning your ID card. Many girls in Hanfu came to take pictures.
Qingchuan Pavilion Park is not big, but the scenic spots are concentrated. Admission is free. You can lean on the railing and look out to see the rolling Yangtze River flowing eastward.
As soon as the boat docked, we could see the quaint Qingchuan Pavilion standing high up.
Walk straight for 50 meters on the right side of Holiday Inn to the entrance of Qingchuan Pavilion.
As you step into Qingchuan Avenue, you will see the majestic and tall iron gate blocking the traffic.
Qingchuan Pavilion and the modern Guishan TV Station complement each other, with the eaves connecting with the TV tower.
It is quiet and elegant here, with red walls and red pillars, and corridors along the eaves, which authentically reproduces the magnificent style of the Chu people building platforms on the mountains and pavilions on the platforms. Qingchuan Pavilion is free to visit, just swipe your ID card.
Qingchuan Pavilion is across the river from the Yellow Crane Tower. It is one of the three famous scenic spots in Wuhan, along with the Yellow Crane Tower and Guqin Terrace. It is named after Cui Hao's poem "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island". It is free to visit. You can enter by swiping your ID card. If you don't bring your ID card, you can register at the guard. The interior environment is very antique, and many newlyweds take Chinese-style wedding photos here. Qingchuan Pavilion is also a good place to view the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge.
Recommended reason: Located in the observation deck of Hanyang District, you can see the Yangtze River, Yangtze River Bridge, Yellow Crane Tower, TV Tower, and Qingchuan Bridge. Qingchuan Pavilion is very small and requires an ID card to enter the park. In my mind, this place serves as an observation deck. It is adjacent to Qingchuan Holiday Hotel and can be visited together.
Qingchuan Pavilion, together with Yu Ji Palace and Tiemenguan, form the Wuhan Dayu Cultural Museum.
Qingchuan Pavilion was first built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It faces the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. It was named after the poem of the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hao: "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island."
The Yuji Palace was first built in the Southern Song Dynasty and was the place where people of all dynasties worshipped Yu the Great. The existing building was rebuilt during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.
Tiemenguan was first built during the Three Kingdoms period and destroyed by war in the late Ming Dynasty. The current building was rebuilt in 1993.
The closest point is to take the ferry from under the Wuchang Bridge, and you can see the Yellow Crane Tower from across the river.
Qingchuan Pavilion is worth recommending!
It was cloudy when I went there. I climbed up to Qingchuan Pavilion and saw the magnificent beauty of the Yangtze River! On the wall opposite the gate, there is an introduction about Yu. The ancient Chinese legend is really interesting. The story of "passing by the door three times without entering" is deeply rooted in people's hearts. On a small pavilion on the Tiemenguan Tower, there is an introduction about flood control in Wuhan. At that time, I really felt the origin of the term "River City Wuhan". "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island" is the poem that I remember most clearly. I can imagine the thriving feeling of Cui Hao when he was viewing the scenery. The four words "Jingchu Heroic Style" are also very classic, and the brushwork is vigorous and powerful!
Facing the Yellow Crane Tower across the Yangtze River, it is a free attraction with a good view of the river.
Because of the sentence "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island". I went there because of its reputation. In fact, it is right next to the hotel. It is still a small but beautiful scenic spot.
It is across the river from the Yellow Crane Tower, but the weather was bad so I didn't see the Yellow Crane Tower. I could see the Yangtze River Bridge from a distance, and it was foggy. It should look better on a sunny day. It's a free attraction, and you have to swipe your ID card to get in.
The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island. It is still worth a visit. This is a photo taken in spring, just in time for the late cherry blossoms to bloom, beautiful. Qingchuan Pavilion and Yellow Crane Tower are across the river from each other. After visiting Qingchuan Pavilion, you can also visit the Hanyang River Beach, then ride a bicycle from Hanyang to Wuchang, and then go to Hubu Lane for a snack 😄
For those who are used to seeing the pavilions and towers in Xi'an, there is nothing special about it. However, it is quite different to see the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge here.
I really think this place is better than the Yellow Crane Tower. "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island" is exactly what this place is like. There is no commercial atmosphere at all.
Free admission with ID card, Qingchuan Pavilion and Yellow Crane Tower overlook the same river ~ the scenery is excellent! There are few people and it is quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the Yellow Crane Tower as a famous scenic spot, it is worth a visit!
Qingchuan Pavilion is located by the river. Below the pavilion, the Yangtze River flows eastward. Above the pavilion, branches are covered with rain and smoke, and the Yellow Crane Tower is across the river.
Qingchuan Pavilion was first built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and is known as one of the "Four Famous Towers in Chu". It is known as the "Three Scenic Spots of Chu" because it faces the Yellow Crane Tower across the river and complements each other. Since its establishment, Qingchuan Pavilion has been rebuilt several times. In the more than 400 years since the Jiajing period, it has been renovated five times and rebuilt twice. The existing building was rebuilt in 1983 based on the historical photos and ruins of Qingchuan Pavilion in the late Qing Dynasty.
I went there in November, the weather was slightly cool, and Wuhan was in early autumn. Qingchuan Pavilion, located in Qingchuan Street, Hanyang District, Wuhan City, is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River and on the eastern foot of Guishan, facing the Han River to the north and the Yangtze River to the east. Qingchuan Pavilion and the Yellow Crane Tower on Sheshan Mountain in Wuchang face each other across the river. Together with the Yellow Crane Tower and Guqin Terrace, it is known as the three major scenic spots in Wuhan and is known as the first famous tower in Chutian. It was first built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It was added by Fan Zhizhen, the prefect of Hanyang, when he was repairing the Yuji Palace (formerly the Yuwang Temple). It was named after the poem of Cui Hao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, "The clear river reveals the trees in Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island." It consists of three main buildings: Qingchuan Pavilion, Yuji Palace (formerly the Yuwang Temple), and Tiemenguan, as well as more than a dozen ancillary buildings such as the Yubei Pavilion, Chaozong Pavilion, Chubo Pavilion, Jingchu Xiongfeng Monument, Dunben Hall Monument, as well as archways, riverside embankments, winding corridors, etc. Qingchuan Pavilion has a very long history and is one of the most worthwhile places of interest in Wuhan. Qingchuan Pavilion is located at the north end of Dayu Mythology Park. After visiting Qingchuan Pavilion, you can visit Dayu Mythology Park or Guishan Park along the Yangtze River (climb Guishan TV Tower and Guqin Terrace). If you want to go to the other side of the Yangtze River, you can take a ferry across the river or walk a few steps forward to the Yangtze River Bridge.
Located in Hanyang, across the Yangtze River from the Yellow Crane Tower, it has the Qingchuan Pavilion and the Yuji Palace, a cultural relic protection building. It is not very famous, and there are not many tourists. No tickets are required.
Qingchuan Pavilion is located on Yugongji, on the eastern foot of Guishan Mountain, north of the Hanyang bridgehead of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, and faces the Yellow Crane Tower on the east bank of the Yangtze River across the river. Qingchuan Pavilion was first built during the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty and was added when the Yuji Palace (originally the Yuwang Temple) was renovated. The golden body of Dayu is enshrined in the pavilion. Standing in Qingchuan Pavilion, you can see the mouth of the Han River where it merges into the Yangtze River to the north, the majestic Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the Yellow Crane Tower to the southeast, and the TV tower built on Guishan Mountain to the west. Qingchuan Pavilion is free and takes about half an hour to visit.
A brilliant journey of cultural heritage in Jingchu - a tour of Wuhan
Hanyang【Qingchuan Pavilion】
~Hanyang
It belonged to the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, to Nanjun in the Qin Dynasty, to Jiangxia in the Western Han Dynasty, and to Dunyang County in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, Hanyang is the earliest independent county-level organization among the three towns of Wuhan.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Biao of Jingzhou built Xiyue City and Jiangxia City here. During the Three Kingdoms period, Lushan City was built here. Lushan was named after the burial place of Lu Su of Eastern Wu. Lushan is now Guishan.
~Qingchuan Pavilion
Qingchuan Pavilion was originally the Yuwang Temple in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was later expanded during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It was named after the famous line from Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" "The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang". Because it is located on Guishan Mountain, facing the Yellow Crane Tower on the opposite Sheshan Mountain across the river, it is known as the "Three Chu Scenic Spots" of Wuhan.
Qingchuan Pavilion is located in the northeast corner of Guishan Mountain in Hanyang. It extends deep into the confluence of the Yangtze River and Hanshui River, like the head of a turtle taking water from the river. From Qingchuan Pavilion, you can see Hankou to the north, Wuchang to the east, and Hanyang behind you. The scenery of the three towns is in full view.
~Scenic spot
The entrance fee is free and the scenic area is not big. Here you can see the panoramic view of the Yangtze River Bridge and the Yangtze River. You can go directly to Guishan Scenic Area and Guqin Terrace through Tiemenguan, which together with Hanyang Art District and Guiyuan Temple form the Hanyang Scenic Area.
~Nearby
Outside the main entrance of Qingchuan Pavilion there is a north-south street. To the south is Hanyang's busiest commercial district, to the north across Qingchuan Bridge is Hankou, and going straight is Hanzheng Street, the most famous clothing and small commodity distribution base in central China. It is now densely populated with businesses and very bustling.
Turning right along the river road is the famous Jianghan Customs Wharf. The Jianghan Customs Building opened the lease era of Hankou and also opened a window for trade between China's inland areas and the West. Commodities and culture converged and merged here, just like the Han River flowing into the Yangtze River, and was completely swallowed up by the surging waves.
