Kaifeng Iron Tower | A thousand-year-old glazed pagoda from the Northern Song Dynasty

The Iron Tower is not an iron tower, but a thousand-year-old glazed pagoda😘😘 The Iron Tower Park is one of the hundred famous gardens in China and a national AAAA level tourist attraction. The Iron Tower (National Treasure), was built in the first year of Huangyou of the Northern Song Dynasty (1049 AD), with a height of 55.88 meters, octagonal and thirteen floors. It is famous at home and abroad for its exquisite and wonderful architectural art and majestic and beautiful posture. It was one of the first batch of national key cultural relics announced by the State Council in 1961. Because its whole body is inlaid with brown glazed bricks, the color is similar to iron, so it is commonly known as the 'Iron Tower'. It is currently the tallest, oldest, and best-preserved glazed brick tower in China. The main attractions in the scenic area include: stone steles, bonsai garden, Linggan Court, Jieyin Hall, Iron Tower, Iron Tower Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall, He Gongxuan, Kaifeng Ancient City Wall, as well as Rose Garden, Shangfang Garden, Bamboo Garden, Iron Tower Lake, etc. The Iron Tower Scenic Area integrates cultural relics and garden art, showing its style and welcoming tourists from all directions. In the scenic area, there are large-scale live performances such as 'Ten Directions Offering Treasures', large-scale song and dance drama 'Music Dance Buddha', and clapper performance. The Iron Tower Scenic Area has invested a lot of money to create the night tour performance project Iron Tower Light and Shadow Show--'Iron Tower Legend', which is loved by the majority of tourists. Travel tips😘😘😘😘 1. At present, the Iron Tower Park is free, open from 8:00 to 18:00, but the time is a bit confusing, I arrived at seven and a half, and the door is open😂 2. Kaifeng Iron Tower Park is one of the only two Northern Song Dynasty ancient buildings in Kaifeng. The older brother is the Fan Tower outside the city. I have made a guide for everyone before. The road is not easy to walk. The Iron Tower is 75 years younger than the Fan Tower and is the second oldest building in Kaifeng. 3. Kaifeng Iron Tower Park is next to Henan University. There is a gate of Henan University, which should be the north gate, facing the Iron Tower. 4. Many Kaifeng friends say that the Iron Tower can be climbed. Maybe I went early that day and didn't let me climb. However, walking around the tower, the wind blowing the bronze bell is very comfortable. 😘😘😘😘 The Kaifeng travel guide is about to reach its climax. The next issue is a large-scale guide to the Qingming Shanghe Garden, followed by Bao Gong Temple, Drum Tower, Shuanglong Alley, Daliang Gate, Henan University Night Market, Kaifeng Food Guide, etc. Strive to finish before New Year's Day, for reference to friends who go to Kaifeng on New Year's Day, those who are interested can follow in advance😘
