In the vein of many chinese buildings it had been rebuilt and moved several times. The last time being in 1983. So basically it is a new building made to look old. It has 363 stairs to the top and Jim ran the whole way up carrying Evita in his arms. She is one lucky gal!! August and I schlepped ourselves and enjoyed a tremendous view of the city from the top. Wuhan has about 8 million residents. Yeah, i had never heard of the place either. Below you see the huge tile painting of the Yellow Crane. The Yellow Crane apparently was a creature that befrended a restaurant owner, coming and sitting outside his place everyday, the restaurant became very popular and the owner lobbyied to have the pagoda built.Below you see Evita befriending another Chinese baby. The baby in question has an old fashioned baby outfit on. Like a little hankerchie tied on the front and nothing on the back. Sure saves on daipers!
