Wufeng Tower in Changzhi, Shanxi Province, is a rare high-level ancient building.

Can be called Wufeng Tower It is not an ordinary ancient building. 🏯About Wufeng Tower In the traditional sense, it is the "concave"-shaped palace gate, consisting of five buildings (a main building + two corner towers + two que towers), which looks like a phoenix spreading its wings, so it is called the Five Phoenix Tower, like the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Yingtian Gate of Luoyang, and the 🤔Interestingly, there is also one in the Nansong Village in Changzhi, Shanxi. It is called the Five Phoenix Tower because of the five women, Golden Phoenix, Silver Phoenix, Jade Phoenix, Colorful Phoenix and Green Phoenix. The name is a bit earthy and the new statues are also very eye-catching, but they are the daughters of the Jade Emperor after all. Shanxi Wufeng Tower is not the gate of an imperial palace, but just the gate of a Jade Emperor Temple. However, there are not many high-grade ancient buildings with double-eaved hip roofs from the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty in the global village... 📸Must see ✅Caustic ceiling: Five Phoenix Tower caisson + Jade Emperor Dance Pavilion caisson ✅Exterior wall brick carving: Lion biting the rope (untying the knot) means everything goes well ✅Dance Pavilion of the Ming Dynasty: Dragon and Phoenix Stone Carvings on Sandstone Pillars ✅Lingxiao Palace: Thirteen-step brackets, single-curved five-down, mantis-shaped head, this bracket craft should have been lost... What a pity This level of ancient buildings The 15 yuan ticket actually allows you to go upstairs Shanxi is still the conscience of the industry
