Yueyang Tower (large print)

Synopsis

This is an image of a famous Chinese tower with three floors. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The tower is shown from the front. The floor plan is square so each side of the tower looks the same apart from a door on the front view. The top of the tower is in the top centre of the page. There is a decorative spike coming from the top centre of the roof. The roof is rounded in the centre and curves down and then up to a point to the left and right. Along the ridge of the roof is decorative tiling. Down from this roof is the wall of the top floor made from red-brown wood. There are four windows each with two wooden shutters which are closed. Down the page is the roof of the middle floor. This runs horizontally flat in the middle and then curves down and up to a point to the left and right. The roof is supported by six wooden pillars set on an open balcony. The balcony is bordered by a low wooden wall with decorative carvings. The wooden wall of the middle floor building is set back from the balcony as shown to the left and right. It has windows and doors onto the balcony but these are not shown for clarity. The roof of the ground floor is the same as the middle floor only slightly wider. It is also supported by six wooden pillars which are set on an open veranda. The ground floor building has a door in the centre with a window to the left and right. The building stands on a low stone plinth. In the bottom centre of the page there are three steps up to the veranda. The tower was built in 222 AD and has had numerous renovations. It was rebuilt in 1867.
