Haihui Temple Glazed Pagoda After climbing this pagoda, my scalp really tingled Haihui Temple, which was first built in the Tang Dynasty, is one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Ancient Yangcheng". Its iconic buildings are the twin towers in the temple: the Relic Tower built in the second year of Longde in the Later Liang Dynasty, and the Tathagata Tower built during the Jiajing and Longqing years. Praised as "national treasures", the two towers belong to the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty respectively. The stupa is a ten-story brick structure with a hexagonal plan. The tower is seriously tilted. It is not very obvious when viewed from a distance, but it looks extremely exaggerated from below, as if it will fall down at any time. The glazed tower is an octagonal 13-story imitation wooden pavilion with brackets under the eaves and doors and windows on the tower body. The tenth floor has a flat balcony and a corridor, all made of glazed tiles. Climbing up the thirteen-story glazed tower, the steps from the bottom to the top are narrower than the previous one. To reach the last three floors, you can basically only climb sideways, using both your hands and feet. From the corridor on the tenth floor, you can see the top of the tilted stupa and the entire view of the Haihui Temple. Although you may be a little afraid of heights, it is still quite spectacular. It is worth mentioning that the glazed tower is full of bedbug nests. The higher you go, the more bedbugs there are. In a very narrow passage, your shoulders basically rub against the wall, and a lot of bedbugs get on your body as well. Don't look up, because if you look up you'll see a bunch of bedbugs that will make your scalp tingle... Next to it is the Haihui Academy, from which many celebrities came out. The most famous of them should be Chen Tingjing, the teacher of Emperor Kangxi.
