Its cultural significance led to it being made the symbol of Wuhan City.The Yellow Crane Tower has a very long and complicated history. It was first built in 223, during the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280). Due to its ideal location, it was built by Sun Quan (182-252, King of Wu) as a watchtower for his army. After hundreds of years, its military function was gradually forgotten and the tower was enjoyed mainly as a picturesque location.
