The origin of the name of Yellow Crane Tower
Immortal theory. There are two theories about immortals. It is said that a fairy once drove a crane through this place, hence the name. It is said that a Taoist priest painted a dancing yellow crane on the wall of Xin's restaurant, and the business in the store is very good. Ten years later, the Taoist priest came back, recruited the yellow crane with a flute and flew away by crane. Therefore, the Xin family invested in the construction of a building called the Yellow Crane Tower.
