There are ancient buildings everywhere in Shanxi! ! ! Huozhou

From Pingyao, Jiexiu and Lingshi to the next stop Huozhou, this is a rare place Although there are not many existing ancient buildings in the mentioned places and they are not as well-known as the surrounding cities, they are worth a visit since they are passing by. The main ancient buildings in Huozhou include Drum Tower, Zhusheng Temple, Huozhou Office, Wahuang Temple, Guanyin Temple, etc. The first three are very close to each other, so I went to the first three places this time. Huozhou Drum Tower The landmark building of Huozhou, the eighth batch of national cultural heritage units, is located in the center of the cross street in the city. It was built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and renovated. It has red bricks and green tiles with exquisite craftsmanship. It has floor-to-ceiling pillars on the first floor and hanging lotus pillars on the second floor. Rest on the top of the mountain. Vehicles are constantly flowing around the Drum Tower every day, and many Huozhou people pass by it many times a day. It is an ancient building that is alive in the city, and it shines brightly in the sunset. consecrated temple In an alley not far from the Drum Tower, the eighth batch of national key cultural relics protection units currently consists of the main hall and the back hall, with side halls and ear halls on both sides. It is a relic of the Ming Dynasty. The main hall is five rooms wide and three rooms deep. A single eaves hangs over the top of the mountain. However, stone bricks have been piled up in the square area in front of the Main Hall, which affects the look and feel. The overall feeling is that no one is taking care of it. You can stop by and take a look when you come to Huozhou. It won't take long. Huozhou Department It is considered to be the top ancient architectural complex in Huozhou. The state office of the fourth batch of national key cultural relics protection units is the ancient state-level office. It is the highest local administrative agency. The Huozhou office is responsible for both administrative and military functions. Empress Dowager Cixi also He took refuge here. Among them, the Qinmin Hall of Zhouxu University is the highlight. It is the only remaining Yuan Dynasty structure in the government office. It was called "a unique example of funny architecture" by Mr. Liang Sicheng. The other buildings are Ming and Qing Dynasty structures and modern reconstructions. Huozhou Drum Tower
