About Yellow River Tower
Its exhibitions interpret the Yellow River through national and Ningxia history, while the surrounding gates, corner towers and zodiac columns extend the theme outdoors. The architecture is a contemporary construction rather than an ancient surviving tower. River-facing views are part of the appeal when the relevant upper areas are open.
What to look for
- Yellow River exhibitions connect national history with Ningxia’s river culture.
- Layered roofs, corner towers and zodiac columns create the outdoor composition.
