The first time I came to Shanxi, I was surprised by this thousand-year-old wooden pagoda!

No province in the country has the most cultural relics on earth like Shanxi. Among them, there are 531 national key cultural relics protection units (number one in the country) There are 28,027 ancient buildings (accounting for about 1/10 of the country) It can be called "a treasure house of ancient Chinese architecture" The ancient buildings all over the place make me burst into tears and my heart longs for them. . Hi~ I am Jiangnanjun~ I made a special trip to Yingxian County, Shanxi Province a few days ago. Checked in to this tallest and oldest existing wooden tower This year, a new "time flow" device was installed in the scenic area Through it, I clearly see the passage of time on it It turns out it has been standing here for 968 years After many wars, earthquakes, etc., it still stands strong No wonder architect Liang Sicheng loves it so much . The "Foggong Temple Sakyamuni Pagoda" was built in the second year of Qingning in the Liao Dynasty (1056). The tower is 67.31 meters high. It is also known as the "Three Wonderful Towers in the World" together with the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. . 📍No. 1, Yingyuan Street, Ying County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi 🎫Ticket 50 🚄Take the high-speed rail to "Yingxian" station, then take the bus to the county seat/Muta Scenic Area 🕘Play time: 1-2 hours . ✅ Check in and take photos ▪"Time Flow" Device The real-time display of the timing of the completion of the wooden tower allows you to take unique check-in photos. Next to it is a 1:1 restoration of the pine bracket structure of the wooden tower. . ▪Wooden Tower The outside is majestic and you can take panoramic photos and group photos. The inside is only open on the first floor, which is the colorful sculpture of Sakyamuni Buddha. . ▪Xiao Xitian The main hall of the Buddha Palace Temple is here, and it is also a beautiful angle to photograph the wooden pagoda through the door frame. . ▪Other check-in points In addition to the check-in points inside the Buddha Palace Temple, you can also go to the nearby Pure Land Temple, Liaodai Street, or even take pictures in the fields outside the city, all of which have great perspectives. . 👤I am Jiangnanjun who is traveling on the road~ A travel blogger & landscape photographer Share outdoor life丨Travel guide丨Photography check-in There are more pictures, texts and strategies on the homepage, thank you for your attention .
