Maiden Tower

Posted by Kaelee at 4:00 AM




I've lived 10 minutes from the tower for 3 months and it's taken me the whole 3 months to actually walk down to it and take a picture. The weather was so crappy we didn't even walk the whole way there. It counts that I saw it on the ferry twice a day sometimes, right? ;)

there's a few version of a legend that go with the tower... the one i remember involves a snake. A emperor heard that someone was going to try to kill his daughter or something so he locked her in the tower. Then one day someone smuggled a snake inside a basket of bread and it bit her and she died. 


that was the story I was told when I got here. I have no idea if it's the real one or if it's true or what,  haha.
anyway here is a nice picture of some fisherman:
