The first stop of this trip to Henan, Anyang, a quaint place, the citizens are also unpretentious. The Wenfeng Tower was not as difficult as some reviews said. Going at dusk, very quiet, clean and tasteful.
MoreWenfeng Tower is located in the northwest corner of the ancient city of Anyang. It is 38.65 meters high and 40 meters in circumference. Because the tower was built in Tianning Temple, it was originally named Tianning Temple Tower. Because it is located in the northeast of the old Zhangde Prefecture Confucian Temple, it is also called Wenfeng Tower as a symbol of the local "literary style". Wenfeng Tower was built in the second year of Guangshun in the Later Zhou Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, and has a history of more than a thousand years. Although it has experienced the test of artillery fire during the war years, it still stands tall and majestic. The architecture of Wenfeng Tower is full of unique style, with the characteristics of being larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. From the bottom to the top, each layer is larger than the previous one, and gradually becomes more spacious. It is an umbrella-shaped form, which is rare at home and abroad.
The tower is 38 meters high, octagonal, and has five floors. It is made entirely of bricks, and patterns are carved on the dark red bricks, mainly about Buddhist stories. There is a small vase-shaped pagoda on the top of the tower, and its shape is very similar to the White Pagoda in Beihai, Beijing. Climbing the tower, you can overlook the distant mountains and nearby waters of the ancient city.

The temple is not big and the tower is shaking. It is recommended to climb the tower, and the fare is not expensive. Meituan 49 doubles including Tianning Temple ticket Q and Wenfeng Tower climbing tower are very small inside, there is no staff to guide the current limit, but everyone has a strong sense of safety, will not go up and down the tower people are blocked together, the quality of tourists is quite high. The stairs in the order tower are steep and narrow. It is not recommended for the elderly and too small children to climb. My middle-aged man is shaking his legs when he comes down. However, you can see the panoramic view of Anyang City at the top. It is quite good. Unfortunately, the weather today is not as expected, otherwise it will be beautiful.
Where it is worth going, the ancient tower that can be climbed up, the exquisite stone carvings around the tower, feel the imprint of history. The shape is unique, the upper and lower, the lower are small, the thousand years are not down, and I look forward to going again. You can watch the scenery of Anyang City at the top of the tower.
A landmark building in Anyang City, the antique nearby is very lively.
Very good viewing experience, although experienced the wind and frost, but the stay still let future generations marvel at the wisdom and creativity of the ancients (。・ω・。)
Tianning Temple, the ancient charm is long, and the history is settled on every brick. Ascending high and looking at the distance, you can see the scenery of the ancient city, which is refreshing. The incense in the temple is full of devout believers, adding a peace and peace to Anyang. This is not only a destination for pilgrims, but also a paradise for photographers. Every shutter captures a beautiful moment in time.
