Jiaxiu Tower
Built in 1598 during the Ming Dynasty, Jiaxiu Tower is located on the Aoji Rock (the rock which looks like a huge turtle according to legend) on the Nanming River in the southern part of Guiyang City. It is renowned for its layout such as the three-story tower 20 meters high with three carved eaves supported by a stone pillar and atop which is formed by diminishing size as four directions mount up. Located in water, right of the Guanyin temple and the Cuiwei tower; left of the Haibi pavilion, the Jiaxiu Tower is connected with two banks by the Fuyu Bridge (Floating Jade Bridge). All of these make Jiaxiu Tower spectacular.

There are many antithetical couplets carved or written on the Jiaxiu Tower by ancient people. Among them, the most famous couplet written by Liu Yushang in the Qing Dynasty has 87 words in the first line and the second line respectively can compare in beauty with the Big Guan Tower in Kunming. Jiaxiu Tower is a famous wooden tower in Guiyang and is regarded as the symbol of the city.
