Yellow crane tower

  • The next series of shots are from the "Yellow Crane Tower" one of the iconic towers in China. It appears in poems and stories from the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. The first shows everyone gazing out at "Goose Lake". From the state of the water, no Goose has survive here since the Qin Dynasty. There's a shot of the tower and one of the many tablets that famous poets have carved into the walls. I think this is Tang Dynasty but not sure (it might also just say "Don't drink the water").
