Visit the ancient capital of Anyang and see a unique thousand-year-old tower

Anyang Wenfeng Pagoda, also known as Tianning Temple Pagoda, was built in the second year of Wenshun in the Later Zhou Dynasty (952 AD). It is a landmark building in the ancient city of Anyang. The pagoda was built in Tianning Temple. Because it is located in the northeast of the old Confucian Temple of Zhangde Prefecture, it is also called Wenfeng Pagoda as a symbol of the local "literary style". 🌈Highlights: Wenfeng Tower has a unique style and is famous for its unique umbrella-shaped architecture. The biggest feature is that it is large at the top and small at the bottom, with each layer getting larger than the previous one and gradually becoming wider from bottom to top. The tower is made of brick and wood structure as a whole. The shape of being wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a top-heavy design is unforgettable. This ancient tower of this shape is the only one in China. The architectural style combines a platform, a lotus pedestal, a Liao-style tower body and a Tibetan-style pagoda top, a form that is rare in the world. ✅There are also exquisite and lifelike brick carvings on the eight sides of the tower, vividly describing various Buddhist stories. Although it has gone through more than 1,000 years of baptism, the outline of the relief on the tower is still clearly visible. There is a red Lama tower added in the Qing Dynasty on the top of the tower. The tower on top of the tower is ingenious, and the key point is that it is combined with the Tibetan style without any sense of disobedience, and it does not make people feel abrupt. In history, Anyang has experienced two earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above. The Wenfeng Pagoda, which is large on the top and small on the bottom, has survived the disasters and still stands tall, adding a touch of mystery to this ancient temple and leaving behind the mystery of why the thousand-year-old pagoda has stood tall. ✨Tips: The ancient tower is located in the center of Anyang's old city. It stands quietly in the bustling atmosphere, calm and majestic. It can be visited together with the surrounding old city. Try to visit the tower. The steps inside are very steep and the climbing process is also a good experience. After all, there are fewer and fewer ancient buildings where you can go in and climb towers. Climbing to the top of Wenfeng Pagoda, you can have a panoramic view of the ancient capital of Anyang, and admire a rare 10-meter-high vase-shaped pagoda top. 🎫Ticket Information: The ticket is 20 yuan, and the tower climbing fee is 5 yuan. You need to check your ticket opposite the entrance of the tower before climbing the tower. 🚗Address and Transportation: You can take buses 18, 26, 61 to Wenfeng Tower Station, or take bus 14 to the bus station, and then walk to Wenfeng Tower.
