The county town of Nong'an County, Jilin Province, has been known as "Huanglongfu" since ancient times.

The hero of the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei's "I will attack the Yellow Dragon and drink with all the gentlemen" is a strong proof of this.

My first visit to the county seat of Nong'an County, Jilin Province, was on June 5, 2013.

When you walk on the street of Nongan County, you can see a tower from afar, and people used to call it "Nongan Liao Tower".

I had seen the pictures of "Nongan Liao Tower" in newspapers and magazines many times before and read the historical information about "Nongan Liao Tower", but this time I was there!

Historically, "Nongan Liao Tower" has also been called "Longan Tower", "Longan Tower", "Longwan Tower" and so on.

However, the "Nong'an Liao Tower" that we have seen so far is just a new tower built on the original site after demolishing the original Liao Dynasty remnant tower.
