Erected by the south bank overlooking the Yangtze River, Suojiang Tower forms a towering guard northeast of the <A href="/amaze_yangtze/attraction/city/jiujiang/">Jiujiang City</A>. Originally built in about 1585 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and finished in 1603, Suojiang Tower was not built alone. It is said that another pagoda and four iron oxen together with the Suojiang Tower formed a system to fulfill the people's wish to tame the turbulent Yangtze River. However, the system underwent much misfortune during four hundred years of changes. An earthquake and many battles destroyed the whole setup, leaving only the Suojiang Tower standing proud. Especially during the Anti-Japanese war, the tower was bombed and received many holes. That it is still standing is considered as a symbol of the strong will of the Jiujiang citizens.<BR><BR> Bold Italic (Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history.)
