Xiuding Pagoda

The tower is small, but very beautiful. But when we went, the iron fence was locked and we could not enter, and there were no managers. I could only take a few photos outside. It took 50 minutes to drive there and it took 5 minutes to visit. I hope such cultural relics can be better protected.

Anyang Xiuding Temple Tower, many years ago, local people in order to protect her, painted a thick layer of lime mud, so that she survived, for the posterity to stay the original Tang Dynasty history fragments 1,500 years ago. Picture 8 is the 900-year-old Queen's Palace in Cambodia, which is similar to the same work. The key is not to collect tickets. In addition to the inconvenience of traffic. But seeing the original, it is worth it

The tower is a square Buddha temple, inside the worship Buddha statue, the incense is constantly, like a temple, this is also the uniqueness of the repair of the temple tower. The Xiuding Temple where the Xiuding Temple tower is located was founded in Taihe 18 years (494 AD) in Northern Wei, 2 years earlier than Shaolin Temple, and was the largest monastery in the country at that time, and has long been one of the important Buddhist activity venues in China. The temple was destroyed in the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the stone tower was unique, becoming one of the few and most representative Tang Dynasty buildings that can be seen in modern times.

The first tower in the world, don’t miss the historical Anyang attraction to study in Anyang. The chance can let me go shopping in this city with few opportunities. When I mention Anyang, the first time my mind is empty. There seems to be no particularly famous attractions here. Good food did not make everyone happy. But Anyang, one of the centers of early Chinese civilization, was built and buried here in the ancient legendary period of "three emperors and five emperors". When the three kingdoms and two Jin and the north and south dynasties, Cao Wei, Hou Zhao, Ran Wei and Qian Yan were built here. Anyang, known as the "Seven Ancient Capitals". Xiuding Temple was built in Northern Wei and changed its name four times. It was a Buddhist center for several consecutive Dynasties, so the tower in the temple became the first tower in the world. The words "the first tower in the world" can also be seen on the wall. Tang Tower was built in Beiqi. The Tang Dynasty was renovated. It was seen at close range. Even after many years, you can feel its exquisiteness and intentions. The relief style is very inclusive. It may be the first in the world. I chatted with the side, other towers are plain bricks, just this tower, each brick is an exquisite national treasure. The stolen wall bricks are at least 24, and they are still scattered in various museums in the world. This should be called the first Huata in the world. It is not easy to find Xiuding Temple Tower in Anyang, it is far from the city, to cross Liangshan Village, along the winding path, there is not even a formal large parking lot, but it is definitely worth running this nearly 40 kilometers. You can choose to navigate by car and go directly to Xiuding Temple. If you are afraid of taking a taxi, you can let the master wait for a while. There are very few tourists to see this tower, not even a few a day, like today's tourists, only me. Now it is the grand Tang that has been forgotten into the dust. #I really want to go out to play #Spring is coming
