The Buddha Palace Temple Shijia Tower, also known as Yingxian Muta, is located in Yingxian Buddha Palace Temple in Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province. It was built in Liaoqingning for two years (1056). It is the world's largest and oldest pure wooden structure pavilion-style building, with the Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Eiffel Tower in Paris is also called the "three chitches in the world". It is worth seeing the ancient wooden tower of China.

Mr. Liang Sicheng, the father of modern Chinese architecture, said after seeing the wooden tower in Yingxian County: "This tower is really a unique and great work. I don't know how likely the wooden structure is. I admire it very much, I admire the era of building this tower, And the unknown architects of that era, unknown craftsmen." And I finally followed the footsteps of the masters to Yingxian, and the shock was far from the tower itself.

Yingxian wooden tower is really the gem of my Greater China, more than 60 meters high, after so many earthquakes, still standing, showing the simplicity and incomparable wooden structure. The tour guide originally asked us to take a photo at the door, but I think it is more shocking to watch up close. I strongly suggest that you can buy a ticket if you are not in a hurry. These ancient buildings are really a look at a glance. The 50 yuan ticket right and for the protection and repair of ancient buildings. A little bit of a modest contribution.

Yingxian wooden tower is really a magical existence, the wooden result has experienced thousands of years to the present, telling us about history. It is a pity that it can't climb the tower anymore. From a distance, I saw the vicissitudes of Yingxian Muta. There are many birds flying around, and I really feel like I have returned to the long past. Minor attractions, there are not many people, it is still very recommended. It’s almost 30 minutes to visit.

At a glance, there is only one floor open now. But it is worth seeing under the tower~ The great bank of the wooden tower, the unique design, really even the child after understanding the history, sighing that it is about to pass away~ There is a temple after the tower, don't forget to see it. It is far from the ancient city of Datong. It is recommended to charter a car. You can also browse the scenic spots such as Hanging Temple and Hengshan by the way.
