Visit Sanzui Pavilion (commemorating Lü Dongbin getting drunk three times at Yueyang Tower), then the stele corridor to see calligraphy stone carvings of "Record of Yueyang Tower" through the dynasties, especially the Qing dynasty Zhang Zhao piece with Emperor Qianlong's inscription. About 30 minutes. Why this route: The stele corridor gathers poetry and calligraphy of the famous tower, distilling Yueyang Tower's cultural depth.

Dongting Lake Deck

about 7020 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight

Exit the tower to the Dongting Lake viewing platform: the lake stretches wide with sails dotting the water; stroll along the shore and watch boats pass; at dusk enjoy the lake view of "rosy clouds and a lone duck flying together." About 30 minutes. Why this route: Only up close does Dongting Lake live up to its name as "the finest water under heaven"; lake light and famous tower set each other off, completing the trip.
