Erecting by the bank of the earlier course of Huanghe River is a double-floored archaize tower that was renovated in 1988. In 1078 Su Shi, the governor of Xuzhou, had Huang Tower built on the then east gate of Xuzhou City in memory of their success in resisting a big flood that summer. Since earth can prevent water, the tower was smeared with yellow earth, by which the tower got the name of Huang Tower ( yellow tower). Among inscriptions of the steles inside the tower, the most famous is“ Ode to Huang Tower”, composed by Su Zhe, Su Shi's brother, also a well-known poet then. “Enjoying moon on the Huang Tower” is one of the eight historically popular sights in Xuzhou.
