the 2nd floor

    There is a gold-plating tablet inscribed with “A Record of the Yellow Crane Tower” written by Tang Yanboli in the hall on the 2nd floor; which records the historical view of the Yellow Crane Tower in the Tang Dynasty. On each side of the tablet, there is a mural painting. One of them is named as “Sun Quan Builds the city”. By portraying the scene about Sun Quan who built the city and the watch tower, the mural painting reproduces the history of the Yellow Crane Tower which developed from a practical military post to a tourist resort. The other one titled Zhou Yu Gives the Banquet depicts the story about Zhou Yu who held the Hongmen feast in Yellow Crane Tower-a meeting contrived as a trap to kill Liu Bei, and about Zhu Geliang's clever scheme which helped Liu Bei escape the danger.
