In the past 2023, I was fortunate to see no less than a hundred ancient towers all over the country, as the saying goes, where there is a tower, there is a temple, but in reality, the temple is often gone, but the tower often still stands. 🗼Types of towers 1️⃣By layers: It is said that there are seven levels of pagodas, but in fact, there are 3.5.7.9.13.15.17 and even 37 towers, mainly odd numbers 2️⃣By shape: square, round, hexagonal, octagonal, multi-treasure, five-wheel, attic, secret eaves, tomb tower, Vajra throne tower... various shapes and secularized 3️⃣By texture: wood, brick, stone, jade, gold, silver, copper, iron, glaze, glass, crystal... brick towers and stone towers are more common 4️⃣By style: Lama tower, bowl-shaped tower, niche tower, wild goose tower, house tower, pillar tower... the style of the tower reflects religious beliefs to a certain extent 💁🏻Personal recommendation: ✅Xi'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Shaanxi: Combines internet celebrity check-in and ancient buildings ✅Ying County Wooden Tower in Shanxi: The less you see, the less you see ✅Xiuding Temple Tower in Anyang, Henan: The relief tower brick can be exchanged for a set of houses ✅Zhuozhou Twin Towers in Hebei: The product of the military competition between Song and Liao ✅Chongxing Temple Twin Towers in Beizhen, Liaoning: The boutique among Liao towers ✅Four Towers in Zhengding, Hebei: Mr. Liang Sicheng's favorite ✅Qiyun Tower in Luoyang, Henan: The first tower in China ✅Kaiyuan Temple Twin Towers in Quanzhou, Fujian: The ceiling of the height of Chinese stone towers ✅Zhaoguan Stone Tower in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu: The Lama-style street-crossing tower in the south of the Yangtze River ✅Duobao Tower in Putuo Mountain, Zhejiang: Ignored by 99% of people ✅Tal Temple Tathagata Eight Towers in Xining, Qinghai: Eight towers each have deep meaning How many ancient towers do you know Which exquisite ancient towers have you been to⁉️
