You can climb the Song Tower for just 6 yuan | Not in Shanxi, but in Suzhou

| Not in Shanxi, but in Suzhou. I often see other bloggers posting about towers in the Shanxi area, which makes me envious. I didn't expect that there is such a well-preserved Song dynasty tower within the Panmen Scenic Area in Suzhou, and you can climb to the top along the steep and narrow wooden staircase for just 6 yuan. Ruiguang Pagoda, built during the Northern Song dynasty, is a true Song dynasty tower. The mottled walls, the ground paved with blue bricks, the empty niches, the creaking sound of the wooden planks, it's as if history is echoing in your ears. There are also a few cats roaming around, bringing a bit of life to the place. During the climb, I kept thinking about the 1986 version of Journey to the West, where in one episode, Master Tang takes Wukong to clean the tower at night. Each floor has its own story, and they keep cleaning until the 18th floor when the truth is revealed, which left a deep impression on me. If you're interested in ancient architecture, I highly recommend it.
