Perched on a boulder in the Nanming River in Guiyang, this magnificent building has long been the landmark of Guiyang. Built in the mid-16th century, it has been rebuilt several times, yet has still managed to retain its original features. The tower is 65 feet high with three layers of hipped roof, and has its outer joinery propped up by 12 stone pillars. It houses many tablets inscribed by famous poets and scholars. Among these a pair of long couplets with 176 characters is the best known. Jiaxiu Tower is linked with the Fuyu Bridge which provides access to both the south and north banks.
