Yanyu Tower is the main building on the island in the center of Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing. It has now become a general term for the entire garden on the island. From south to north, there are three front gate halls. Behind there are two floors of the tower, with five bays in width and two bays in depth, surrounded by corridors. In the middle of the second floor hangs the plaque of ‘Yanyu Tower’ inscribed by Emperor Qianlong. To the east of the tower is Qingyang Book House, and to the west is Duishan Studio, both with three bays. There is an octagonal pavilion in the northeast and a square pavilion with four corners in the southeast. Stones are piled up to form a mountain in the southwest. There are winding caves at the foot of the mountain. You can climb up along the stone steps. At the top of the mountain, there is a hexagonal open pavilion named Yiting. This tower is the highest point for overlooking Chenghu Lake. Standing by the railing and looking into the distance, Wanshu Garden, Rehe Spring, Yongyou Temple and other places are clearly visible. Whenever in summer and autumn, when mist and rain pervade, it is just like a landscape painting.
Opening hours: Open all year round from 8:00 to 17:00.Yanyu Tower
