二、湖北重点景观介绍
1.黄鹤楼
The Yellow Crane Town
黄鹤楼位于武昌的蛇山上，是江南“三大名楼”之一。据历史记载，黄鹤楼始建于公元223年的三国时期。最初，该楼作军事之用，用以观察敌人动向。战争结束后，慢慢变成了旅游景点，登上楼人们可以尽情欣赏城市概貌和东湖美景。
古时，有许多文人墨客登上该楼，有的甚至写下名篇诗作，如唐朝的崔颢写下了著名诗篇“黄鹤楼”，对整个唐朝有具大影响的著名诗人李白也多次登楼欣赏美景，此外，另一著名诗人孟浩然在此地为友人送行并写下流芳百世的诗作表达自己的情感。从那以后，黄鹤楼扬名中国。
昔人已乘黄鹤去, The sage on yellow crane was gone amid clouds white，
此地空余黄鹤楼。
To what avail is Yellow Crane Tower left here? 黄鹤一去不复返，
Once gone, the yellow crane will not on earth alight，
白云千载空悠悠。
Once white clouds still float in vain from year to year. 晴川历历汉阳树，
By sunlit river trees can be counted one by one; 芳草萋萋鹦鹉洲。
On Parrot Islet sweet green gra grows fast and thick. 日暮乡关何处是，
Where is my native land beyond the setting sun? 烟波江上使人愁。 The mist-veiled waves of River Han makes me homesick.
在几个世纪的战争中，黄鹤楼曾多次被毁坏，但是由于它在中国人中很受欢迎，所以多次得到重建。目前的黄鹤楼建成于1985年，其设计来自于清朝的图片。楼高5层，总高度51.4米，建筑面积3219平方米。72根圆柱拔地而起，雄浑稳健；60个翘角凌空舒展，恰似黄鹤腾飞。楼的屋面用10多万块黄色琉璃瓦覆盖。
