[2025 Jiujiang Attraction] Travel Guide for Xunyang Tower (Updated Apr)

After visiting Mount Lu, I had half a day to spare, so I decided to wander around Jiujiang city. I was surprised to discover so many historical sites! Jiujiang, formerly known as "Xunyang" and "Jiangzhou," has a history of over 2,200 years. My walking route: Yanshui Pavilion ➡️ Xunyang Tower ➡️ Suojiang Tower ➡️ Pipa Pavilion Yanshui Pavilion sits in the middle of Gantang Lake, surrounded by water on all sides, connected to the shore by a single plank road. The pavilion's enclosed Hui-style architecture emphasizes the essence of its name, "smoke and water." It is said to be the former site of Zhou Yu's command post during the Three Kingdoms period. Walking along the Yangtze River from Yanshui Pavilion, you'll reach Xunyang Tower. This is where Song Jiang wrote his rebellious poem in *Water Margin*. Today, the tower houses a *Water Margin*-themed exhibition. Looking ahead from Xunyang Tower, you can see a pagoda. This is Suojiang Tower, standing 25.26 meters tall. Built in the 14th year of the Wanli Emperor's reign in the Ming Dynasty (1586) to control the waters, Suojiang Tower has been built and destroyed, destroyed and rebuilt, over the past 400 years. Yet, Suojiang Tower still stands tall. Even when tilted by Japanese bombing, it remains defiantly upright. The last stop is Pipa Pavilion, where Bai Juyi wrote his famous poem, "Pipa Xing" ("Song of the Pipa"). The main pavilion features an exhibition on "Bai Juyi, the Jiangzhou Administrator," and an immersive theater recreating the birth of "Pipa Xing."

Hey everyone👋! I recently spent three days in Jiujiang and put together a super detailed guide to share with anyone planning a trip there. Without further ado, let's get to the good stuff👇 Preparation📖 Book your hotel🏨 in advance online. I recommend choosing one in the city center or near the attractions for convenient travel. Check the weather forecast🌤 and pack appropriate clothing. Remember to bring essential items like your ID card, student ID (for discounts), charger, umbrella, etc. Itinerary🚗 Day 1: Gantang Lake - Yanshui Pavilion - Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge Morning: After arriving in Jiujiang, check in to your hotel and drop off your luggage🧳. After a short rest, head to Gantang Lake. The lake is crystal clear and sparkling. Take a stroll🚶‍♀️ along the shore, feel the gentle breeze, and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. The lakeside is shaded by lush trees, and you'll see many locals enjoying leisure activities🎣. Lunch: Have lunch at a restaurant near Gantang Lake and try Jiujiang's specialty - Jiujiang radish cake🥮. The crust is crispy, the filling is soft and glutinous, and the radish flavor is intense. One is simply not enough! Afternoon: Next, visit Yanshui Pavilion, located in the middle of Gantang Lake. It boasts a rich history and classic architecture. Here, you can learn about Jiujiang's history and culture, admire the lake and scenery, and take amazing photos📷. Evening: Head to the Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge to watch the sunset🌅. Standing on the bridge, feeling the river breeze, and taking in the magnificent view of the Yangtze River is truly breathtaking. At sunset, the sky turns orange-red, it's stunningly beautiful. After watching the sunset, have dinner nearby and try the Yangtze River fish🐟, known for its delicious taste. Day 2: Mount Lu Scenic Area (Hanpokou - Five Old Men Peak - Sandie Spring) Morning: Get up early and go to Mount Lu Scenic Area. I recommend taking the sightseeing bus up the mountain🚠 to save energy. The first stop is Hanpokou, the best place to view Poyang Lake. Standing at Hanpokou, you can see Poyang Lake stretching out before you, where the water meets the sky, it's a magnificent sight🌊. Late Morning: From Hanpokou, head to Five Old Men Peak. The peak consists of five peaks of varying shapes, resembling five old men sitting side by side👴. The climb can be a bit tiring, but when you reach the top and look out at the surrounding scenery, it's all worth it. The mountain scenery is beautiful, shrouded in clouds and mist, making you feel like you're in a fairyland🧚‍♀️. Lunch: Have some snacks🍫 you brought with you at the rest stop near Five Old Men Peak to replenish your energy. Afternoon: Head to Sandie Spring. The waterfall at Sandie Spring is magnificent, cascading down from the mountain and splashing up layers of water💦. The saying, "Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet, a suspected Milky Way falling from the Ninth Heaven," truly captures its grandeur. You'll need to climb many steps to reach Sandie Spring, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes👟. Evening: Descend the mountain and return to the hotel to rest. After a day of physical activity, take some time to relax. Have a light dinner near the hotel, such as clay pot soup🥣, which is both nutritious and delicious. Day 3: Xunyang Tower - Pipa Pavilion Morning: Visit Xunyang Tower, named after Jiujiang's ancient name, Xunyang. It's a typical Song Dynasty-style tower. Ascend Xunyang Tower for a panoramic view of the Yangtze River and Jiujiang city, and immerse yourself in the historical atmosphere. Inside the tower, there are many exhibits related to Water Margin📜, a must-see for literature lovers. Lunch: Have lunch at the snack street near Xunyang Tower and try Jiujiang tea cakes🍪, a sweet and delicious traditional local pastry. Afternoon: Head to Pipa Pavilion, built in memory of Bai Juyi's poem, "Pipa Song." The pavilions and towers are classic and elegant, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Inside the pavilion, you can almost hear the melodious music🎶 played by the pipa player from the poem. After that, pack your bags and prepare for your return trip~ Things to Note⚠️ 1. Mount Lu Scenic Area is vast, and you may not be able to see everything in one day. Plan your itinerary based on your interests and available time. 2. Be careful when hiking and stay on designated trails. 3. Jiujiang has a lot of delicious food, but some dishes can be quite strong. Let the waiter know your preferences in advance. Jiujiang is truly a worthwhile destination, offering both beautiful natural scenery and rich history and culture. I hope this guide is helpful, and I wish you a wonderful time in Jiujiang🥳!

The current Xunyang Tower was rebuilt by the Jiujiang Municipal People's Government in 1987. It covers a total area of 2,000 square meters, with the main building covering 300 square meters and a construction area of 1,000 square meters. It is 21 meters high, with three outer floors and four inner floors, nine ridges on the roof, flying dragon eaves, and a corridor on all four sides, giving it a simple and dignified appearance. Xunyang Tower has the architectural style of a teahouse and tavern in the Jiangnan region during the Song Dynasty. The famous calligrapher Zhao Puchu's handwritten "Xunyang Tower" plaque hangs above the gate of Xunyang Tower. Visitors can drink tea and wine in Xunyang Tower, climb to a high place to look into the distance, and enjoy the style of the ancient city by the river.

” Xunyang Tower is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, outside the Jiuhua Gate in Xunyang District, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. It is named after the ancient name of Jiujiang, Xunyang. The tower was originally built in the Tang Dynasty, and the current building was rebuilt in 1987, covering an area of 2,800 square meters, in the style of Song Dynasty architecture. The design of Xunyang Tower was inspired by the illustrations in 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' and 'Water Margin', featuring the architectural style of tea houses and taverns in the Jiangnan region during the Song Dynasty. The name Xunyang Tower first appeared in the poem by Wei Yingwu, the governor of Jiangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. However, it was Shi Nai'an's 'Water Margin' that truly made Xunyang Tower famous, with the stories of Song Jiang's rebellious poem and Li Kui's rescue at the execution ground. The tower is 21 meters high, with three visible floors but actually four inside, five bays wide, and surrounded by corridors and railings. The tower has a three-tiered eave and a nine-ridge hip roof covered with green tiles. Under the eaves on the north and south sides of the top floor hang large plaques inscribed with the characters 'Xunyang Tower' by Zhao Puchu. In front of the tower stands a 'watch pole' with a blue cloth wine flag inscribed with 'Xunyang Jiang Zhengku'.

| A Harmonious Dance of Ancient Charm and Natural Scenery. 📍Jiujiang Xunyang Tower stands elegantly by the Xunyang River, hiding a series of ancient and elegant architectural relics. In the past, it was complemented by buildings such as the Jiangtian Lock Key Tower, Wenfeng Pagoda, and four majestic iron oxen. However, with the passage of time, only the Lock River Tower and Wenfeng Pagoda remain standing, telling the story of past glories. 🔒The Lock River Tower, also known as the "Jiangtian Lock Key Tower," has a profound meaning, aiming to tame the turbulent river waters and pray for stable years and abundant harvests. It is said that this tower was modeled after the wisdom of Yu the Great in controlling floods and once had iron oxen guarding the waters. However, with the changes of history, the traces of the four oxen have disappeared amidst wars and earthquakes. 🎖Today, this place has been listed as a provincial important cultural heritage protection unit. "Hundreds of reeds sway with the waves around the shore, and the scenery of Huangmei Mountain comes across the river." Standing on the viewing platform of the Lock River Tower, looking up at the clear sky and down at the shimmering river, the entire beautiful scenery of the river and sky is in full view, making one feel refreshed and happy. 🗼Wenfeng Pagoda, regarded as a feng shui tower in the hearts of Xunyang people, is located on Huilongji by the Yangtze River, hence also known as the "Huilong Tower." This pagoda combines stone carving and brick construction, presenting a six-sided conical shape, towering seven stories high, over thirty meters tall. Each eave corner is hung with copper wind chimes, swaying with the wind, producing crisp and pleasant sounds. Climbing to the top of the tower, looking through the archway into the distance, the majestic and spectacular Lushan Mountain range and the scenery of Xun City are in full view, just as the ancient poem says: "As far as the eye can see, Wu and Chu stretch for a thousand miles, and the waves converge under the tower into Jiujiang." 😉In your leisure time, you are sincerely invited to visit the Lock River Tower, to witness the grandeur of the Yangtze River and feel the majestic momentum of "As far as the eye can see, Wu and Chu stretch for a thousand miles, and the waves converge under the tower into Jiujiang." Inside the tower, you can also visit the digital cultural experience hall that integrates Jiujiang with water, closely admire the bronze ox sculpture symbolizing water control, and experience a different cultural charm. 💖Come and immerse yourself in this unique charm!

I found the head of Xunyang River described by Bai Juyi in Jiujiang, Jiangxi. Jiujiang has always been an underestimated city full of cultural history!

You can visit along the river on foot, the total length is about 2.8 kilometers Xunyang Tower: ①Xunyang Tower is located on the bank of the Yangtze River and is one of the ten famous towers in Jiangnan! Its exterior is an imitation of Song Dynasty architecture, with flying eaves and pointed corners, echoing the Yangtze River Bridge in the distance! Xunyang Tower is famous for the anti-government poems written by Song Jiang and Li Kui's robbery in the Water Margin. It is also famous for Bai Juyi's "Seeing Off a Guest at Night at Xunyang River". ②Tickets: 19 yuan, free for active military personnel ③Opening hours: 9.00-17.30 Lock River Tower: ① Suojiang Tower is very close to Xunyang Tower, only about 500 to 600 meters away on foot.

Xunyang Tower, located on the banks of the Yangtze River, is one of the top ten famous towers in the south of the Yangtze River. It was originally a civilian tavern and has a history of 1200 years. It is a scenic spot that combines famous towers, famous books, and famous wines. The first and second floors are displays related to 'Water Margin', and there is also a showcase displaying porcelain figures of the one hundred and eight heroes; the third floor displays calligraphy and paintings, and the fourth floor is a tea room, which is an excellent place to view the river scenery and gaze at the Yangtze River Bridge from afar. Admission to Xunyang Tower is 20 yuan for adults. Visiting here always reminds one of the 'Pipa Xing' from the high school Chinese textbook. Perhaps you have forgotten how to recite it, but you will definitely remember how to sing it. The frosty leaves and withered grass in the autumn wind are desolate, the vast river water, the poet and guests bid farewell on the river, and the pipa lady plays during this time. The nearby vegetation, trees, and rocks are painted in bright and meticulous colors, and as the scenery extends into the distance, the ink and colors gradually fade, giving rise to a sense of desolation and loneliness, 'Being wanderers in the same predicament, there's no need for acquaintance to feel connected'
