Furong Tower

Furong Tower is a classical garden building, enjoying the reputation of the "First Tower of Southern Chu." The tower stands as a cultural landmark where Wang Changling, a renowned poet of the Tang Dynasty and one of the masters of frontier poetry, hosted banquets and bid farewell to guests during his exile to Longbiao (today's Qiancheng, Hongjiang City). The tower's stele corridor serves as a "treasure trove of calligraphic art," housing over a hundred stone carvings by renowned masters throughout history, such as the legendary calligraphers Yan Zhenqing, Huang Tingjian, and Mi Fu. These works hold both artistic and historical significance.
