What travelers say:

The Xinglong Tower is one of the 53 Sheli Towers built in the second batch of the Sui Dynasty. It was rebuilt in Song Dynasty, but the tower is still in the Sui Dynasty. The Xinglong Tower was named after the Xinglong Temple, which has been destroyed and only the tower has survived. The Xinglong Tower seen so far was built in Jiahe, Northern Song Dynasty, eight years (1063), nearly a thousand years ago. This ancient tower is a brick and wooden structure, with a strange shape, a total of 13 floors, 54 meters high, an octagonal pavilion-style empty core brick tower, brick stacked astringent, with simple bucket arch. The lower 7-story specifications are similar to similar brick towers, with steps and corridors between layers, forming a 2-meter-wide balcony, and stone carving railings on the platform. The upper six floors have been sharply reduced, forming a "tower up tower", which is rare in the country. The main cultural relics unearthed at the bottom of the tower include platinum coffin, gold bottle, glass bottle, Buddha teeth, Shelly and metal coins. The silver coffin is platinum, 47 cm long, 20 cm wide, 25 cm high, surrounded by fences. The left and right sides of the silver coffin are the scene of Sakyamuni, surrounded by the disciples' protection scene, with different expressions, and the rest of the parts are Buddha, disciples, Bodhisattvas. Although the theme on the left and right sides is the same, it is completely different in character shape, clothing, and demeanor. The gold bottle is a container for Shelly, 13 cm high, melon-like, a disciple statue sitting on the top of the lid, and 48 pieces of Nei Sheng Shelly.
