The mysterious ancient pagoda in Ying County once made his heart beat faster and attracted many visitors.

Ying County Wooden Pagoda After leaving the ancient city of Daizhou, Shanxi, we continued to head north. After driving for more than an hour, we arrived in Ying County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi, to visit the world-famous Ying County Wooden Pagoda. On the holiday, the streets of Ying County were full of self-driving cars from all over the country. The scenic area parking lot and nearby roads were full, and the scenic area was crowded with people. The Ying County Wooden Pagoda is an ancient pagoda with a history of nearly a thousand years. The pagoda is 67.31 meters high and the bottom diameter is 30.27 meters. It has six eaves and five floors, and there is a dark floor between every two floors, actually nine floors. This ancient pagoda has been standing for nearly a thousand years, and it has not been burned by lightning, collapsed by strong earthquakes, or destroyed by war. It is a world miracle. In the early 1930s, when Mr. Liang Sicheng, a famous ancient architect, first investigated the Ying County Wooden Pagoda, this mysterious ancient pagoda made his heart beat faster. Later, this ancient pagoda gradually entered people's sight and became the tallest and oldest existing tower-style wooden building in the world. The wooden pagoda under the setting sun is particularly majestic and solemn. Tourists either visit the tower or walk around the tower to appreciate its posture from multiple angles and explore its inner mystery. In the early 1970s, when the wooden pagoda was repaired, people found Buddhist relics: seven treasures and eight treasures, among which the Buddha's tooth relics shocked the archaeological world. Walking around the tower, different plaques leave different eras and character information. The three-story "Sakyamuni Pagoda" in the south is from the Jin Dynasty and is the oldest plaque. The five-story "Junji Shengong" was written by Zhu Di, the Ming Chengzu. The four-story "World Wonder" was written by Zhu Houzhao, the Ming Wuzong. The north end "Yongzhen Jincheng" and the south end "Wangu Guanzhan" are Qing Dynasty plaques. The Guanyin Temple and Dizang Temple in the north of the wooden pagoda are all Qing Dynasty buildings. A wooden pagoda, I don't know how many mysteries it contains, and it also attracts modern people to come here to appreciate the remaining cultural relics and explore the historical stories derived from it.
