Yueyang Tower, located in Dongting North Road, Yueyang District, Yueyang City, Hunan Province, is located on the west gate wall of Yueyang Ancient City, adjacent to Dongting Lake, overlooking Dongting and Junshan ahead.
Because Teng Zongliang rebuilt Yueyang Tower in the Northern Song Dynasty, he asked his friend Fan Zhongyan to write the biography of Yueyang Tower, which made Yueyang Tower famous all over the world.
The main building of Yueyang Tower is rectangular, with a height of19.42m, a depth of14.54m and a width of17.42m.. It has three floors, four pillars, cornices, helmet tops and pure wood structures. Four nanmu gold pillars in the building go straight to the roof, surrounded by cloisters, squares and eaves.
On the first floor of Yueyang Tower, there are carved screens, poetry couplets and sculptures of Yueyang Tower. In the middle of the second floor, there is a mahogany woodcarving screen engraved with the "Yueyang Tower" inscribed by the Qing Dynasty calligrapher Zhang Zhao.
