Stork Tower, Ancient tower in Puzhou Town, Yongji, China
The Stork Tower rises 73.9 meters high along the Yellow River, featuring three stories constructed in traditional Tang dynasty architectural style with ornate decorations.
General Yu Wen established the original tower during the Northern Zhou Dynasty between 557-581 AD, serving as a military watchtower for over 700 years.
Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhihuan composed the renowned poem 'On the Stork Tower', which elevated the structure to national recognition among China's most notable towers.
Visitors can explore multiple exhibition halls across different floors, with the first floor dedicated to Wang Zhihuan's poetry and upper levels presenting regional history.
The surrounding Guanying Lake takes the shape of stork wings, while Shengtang Square produces an echo effect that reproduces stork calls.
