Top 5: Yueyang Tower(岳陽樓)

The Yueyang Tower is an ancient architectural treasure on the shores of Dongting Lake in Yueyang city, Hunan province. It is known as one of the four famous Chinese towers. The other three are the Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei province, the Penglai Pavilion in Shandong province and the Tengwang Pavilion in Jiangxi province.

岳陽樓位于湖南省岳陽市洞庭湖畔，是古代建筑珍寶，以中國四大名塔之一著稱。中國另外三大名塔分別是

湖北黃鶴樓，山東蓬萊閣和江西滕王閣。

The tower was first built around 220 during China's Three Kingdoms Period (220-280), when Lu Su, commander in chief of the forces of Wu, was sent to the area to fortify it and he trained the fleet there. The main tower bears a flying eave and helmet roof with wooden constructions in a unique style.

岳陽樓首次約建于公元220年，正是中國的三國時代，當(dāng)時吳國統(tǒng)率魯肅被派往岳陽樓加強(qiáng)它的防御工事并訓(xùn)練艦隊。岳陽樓主樓的木制飛檐和盔頂堪稱一絕。

Standing on the tower, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Dongting Lake.

站長岳陽樓上，游客便可將洞庭湖全景一覽無余。
