A Ceiling of Ancient Architecture—The Xian God Tower

This is the ceiling of ancient architecture | The only existing Xian God building in the world! One of the four famous towers in Shanxi, the 'Xian God Tower', locally known as the 'Xuan God Tower', offers a deeper understanding with each visit to Jiexiu, about what it means to see Shanxi's cultural relics on the ground. This place is known as the capital of glazed tiles, and the Xian God Tower dates back to the Northern Song Dynasty. Artisans in the Tang Dynasty already used glazed tiles extensively in construction. The building of the Xian God Tower was meticulously crafted, with an exquisite architectural style, towering eaves, and the sound of wind chimes that intoxicate visitors. This building has been preserved through many twists and turns. According to investigations by scholars, this building is the only existing Xian God structure in China and even in the world, and is acclaimed by many as a must-see tower when visiting Shanxi.
