Xie Tiao Tower, Historical tower in Xuancheng, China
The Xie Tiao Tower rises from Yangling Mountain, part of Mount Jiuhua, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements across multiple levels.
Originally constructed in 495 by Governor Xie Tiao during the Southern Qi period, the tower underwent several reconstructions and name changes through different dynasties.
The structure holds particular significance in Chinese literature as it inspired numerous works by poet Li Bai and represents one of the Four Great Towers of Jiangnan.
The current tower, reconstructed in 1997 with a floor area of 1,500 square meters, maintains regular opening hours for visitors throughout the year.
During the Qing Dynasty, the structure carried the name Gubei Tower until magistrate Lu Yiyuan restored its connection to its original founder, Xie Tiao.
