North Temple Tower

There is a quaint tall archway in front of the door, the Maitreya Buddha that is often opened in the yard, next to the inscription of Zhao Meng𫖯. As everyone goes around the tower to pray for blessings, the truth on the wall is very meaningful. The garden behind is not very exquisite and elegant, not worse than other gardens.

The conscience free attraction in Suzhou City is at the subway entrance and the traffic is very convenient. Although I can't climb the tower (it seems to be crawling), the photos below are still very good. There are not many people (probably crowded to the paid attractions), and you can go for almost half an hour.

Beisi Pagoda, the name "Baoen Temple Pagoda", for "Wuzhong's first temple" - Baoen Temple Pagoda; Because Bao'en Temple is located in the north of Suzhou Ancient City, Bao'en Temple Tower has the nickname "Beisi Tower". The 76-meter-high pagoda is the tallest building in Suzhou Ancient City, and the old landmark of Gusu from ancient times to the present (other buildings in Suzhou Ancient City, no higher than 24 meters). Beisi Tower, the south dynasty beam (AD 502-557) was built with 11-story towers, burned in the Northern Song Dynasty; the Northern Song Yuanfeng years (1078-1085) were rebuilt to 9 floors, and then rebuilt in the battle of Song Jin; Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty was rebuilt in 23 years (1153), and rebuilt many times in the Ming and Qing eras. The brick structure of the existing Beisi Tower is the original object of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the wooden structure is rebuilt at the end of Qing Dynasty. After the 1950s, two large-scale renovations were carried out, and the Beisi Tower was able to stand proudly in the ancient city of Gusu on the basis of the structure of the Song Dynasty. Beisi Pagoda, brick and wooden structure pavilion, nine-level and eight-sided height of 76 meters, the first height of the existing Jiangnan ancient tower. The tower is built on the stone foundation, and the bottom is the stone octagonal base. The first floor of the wooden structure holds the Xiamen Corridor, the rest of the wooden structure octagonal warping, the lower level railing. The glazed tiles are covered with blue tiles, and the bronze bells are hung at the corners. The top green tiles are sealed with eight ridges, and the metal tower brakes are placed on the top. The brakes are connected by seven-phase wheels, lids, bottles, and beads... The magnificent body and the elegant style are suitable for looking at the two, and the iconic landscape of Suzhou is well-deserved.
