Yellow Crane Tower and First Bridge

I was going through some older photos and realized I had yet to post any photos from the top tourist destination in Wuhan, the Yellow Crane tower.  During one of my last weekends in Wuhan I visited the refurbed grand tower which sits upon Snake “Mountain”.  The tower is a tourist spot, with a bunch of little kitch shops inside selling miniature replicas of the tower and Mr. Miagi rhythm drums, but overall not a bad way to spend a nice afternoon.

Escaping the heat in Wuhan is not an easy task but the bell show in the belly of the Yellow Crane Tower is a nice respite.

Between the Yellow Crane Tower and the Yangtze River is the Hu Bu Xiang snack street.  Which I have posted about here.  Pop out the other end of Hu Bu Xiang and you will find yourself at the base of the First Bridge and the great Yangtze River.  Following are some images of this colossal structure designed by the Soviet Union.
