#1 of Best Things to Do in Shuozhou
Ancient Pagodas
Anonymous User
It's spectacular, it's really shocked! Yingxian wooden tower is located in Yingxian, Shuozhou, Shanxi Province, built in Liaoqingning two years (1056 AD), is the oldest and tallest pure wooden structure pavilion building in existence, but also the treasure in ancient buildings in China, the model of the world's wooden structure building. Yingxian wooden tower is built on a four-meter-high platform base, the tower is67.31 meters high, and the bottom diameter is30.27 meters, which is in a flat octagonal shape. The height of the tower is about2.2 times the bottom diameter, and the proportion is quite thick, so that the wooden tower is high and steep without losing its weight, and the wooden tower in Yingxian will be stable in the ground.

The temple is very defeated and is not open to the outside world. The back wall of the temple is half collapsed, and the tower can be seen directly. Close to Yong'an Temple, another national treasure-level cultural relics unit, the latter is well repaired and tickets are open.

Huayan Pagoda is in Huayan Temple, the tower is43.5 meters high, and it is built from wood. It is the second wooden pagoda in China after Yingxian. At the bottom of the pagoda, there is a thousand Buddha earth palace of nearly 500 square meters. It is made of more than 100 tons of pure copper. It is a veritable "copper palace" and the largest copper earth palace in the country. It is breathtaking. When I climbed the tower, I walked on the stairs. You can clearly see the tower structure, the stairs are narrow and steep, on the tower, you can see the ancient style of Datong.

Guanghua Temple is located on the banks of the Qingshui River in the central area of Taihuai. It was built in Guangxu 12 years (1886), one of Zhangjiawu Temple and belongs to the Lama Temple. Guanghua Temple was built in the Northern Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. It is a typical Huangjia monastery of Qing Dynasty architecture. Guanghua Temple sits north to south, the mountain gate is newly built, the main temple in the temple is the Sakya Temple, the new statue of Sakya Buddha, the gentleness and kindness of the plastic art are better. The mountain gate of the general temple and the Temple of Heavenly Kings are combined into one, but Guanghua Temple is not. This place cleverly uses the wide space to build a separate mountain gate deliberately to separate the mountain gate from the Temple of Heavenly Kings for a distance, and builds a stone step in the interval. Below the stone steps are the monuments of merit for the donors who have been restoring the temple in recent years. Up the steps, the exquisite and magnificent Temple of Heavenly Kings is now in front of you. The oval door is three open, and the Maitreya Buddha sitting on it gives people a solemn and witty artistic beauty. The four kings on both sides of the temple are powerful and tall, each showing an angry but not scary, majestic and unscrupulous artistic image. Visitors to the gate of the mountain and the temple of the emperor will feel that the architectural pattern here is unique and strange, and the Buddha statue is carefully shaped and conveyed. These seemingly Ming Dynasty special buildings and statues were built by Awang Jinba butler after reading a lot of historical materials, inviting skilled craftsmen to build. The Temple of Heavenly Kings is below the steps of Wenshu Temple, a wide and flat ground, with an incense stove in the middle. Along the monastery from the low to the high situation, it is the main temple of Guanghua Temple - Dawenshu Temple. Dawenshu Temple is also called the main temple, historically known as the Daxiong Temple, which is used for the Sakya Buddha, and is now Wenshu Temple. The temple is a well-preserved Qingdao light period building, simple and elegant in appearance, and vaguely distinguishable in color paintings. The temple is three open rooms, with a width of 14.5 meters, a depth of 10 meters, a single-square four-a-ding, top-notch, with the characteristics of the blending of Han and Tibetan Buddhist temple buildings. The temple is filled with Wenshu Bodhisattvas, on both sides of the Guanyin and Puxian Bodhisattvas. The most influential historical figure is the 16th stone carving in the temple. The so-called 16th honorees, that is, 16 saints with different images of joy, anger and sorrow, not only their facial expressions are different, but also their hands and feet have been finely expressed by stonemasons. Each His Holiness was engraved on a slate of 1 meter high and0.5 meters wide. The slate was black and the stone was white and gray, which was very eye-catching. Two thick and thin apricot trees on both sides of the front and the east of the temple were in a state of extreme growth, with branches swaying, spring and autumn, and the Buddha Temple with the wind and rain, and the monks shared their fate.

If there is really no place to go, you can go in and stroll around. 20 yuan is really not particularly recommended. It takes about half an hour to go shopping. It is mainly two towers. You can also see it outside. There are many locals dancing at the door.

The Ayuwang Tower in Daixian County was built in the first year of Huanrenshou (601), and has a history of more than 1,000 years. It was originally a wooden structure, known as "Longxing", and the Tang and Song Dynasty were abandoned. When the Yuanbing went south in Jinxingding two years (1218), the wooden tower was burned and converted into a brick tower in the 12 years (1275). The existing Ayu Wang Tower has been robbed three times in 600 years, and it has not stood down so far. In recent years, a new protective fence has been built in the tower.

The Great White Tower, Wutai Mountain is the most striking and spectacular landmark, the highest covered white tower in the country. The full name is the Great White Tower of the Shigawen Buddha True Body Shelly Pagoda.

There are many pagodas in Wutai Mountain, but the big white pagoda is famous, and other pagodas are surrounded by stars.
