Suojiang Tower, Military observation tower in Jiujiang, China

The three-story tower stands on the bank of the Yangtze River, featuring four iron oxen statues placed around its perimeter.

Wu Xiu, an official from Jiujiang City, initiated the construction of this defensive structure in 1586 during the Ming Dynasty Wanli period.

The tower represents traditional Chinese military architecture and demonstrates the engineering capabilities of medieval builders in the Jiangxi region.

Visitors can access the tower by taking bus number 5 or 23 and purchasing an entrance ticket for 20 Chinese Yuan.

The tower required eighteen years to complete and was funded through public contributions from local citizens of Jiujiang.
