1. The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is starting to tilt a bit. Due to cultural relic protection, it is now not possible to visit the tower above the second floor.

2. Two Buddha tooth relics have been found inside the wooden pagoda, but the visit fee is relatively expensive, costing 100 yuan. In addition, please note that there is a small yard behind the wooden pagoda. It is best not to go in to burn incense. The cost of burning incense Very expensive.

3. Highlights: It mainly depends on his architectural art. It is recommended to ask a commentator to explain it. As the largest of the eight remaining Liao structures, the sense of oppression coming from the wooden tower is quite shocking. Upon closer inspection, its complex brackets, elegant murals, and ingenious structure will surprise you in every detail. In my opinion, the wooden tower is not only a Dougong museum, but also a dictionary of architectural aesthetics.

The Sakyamuni Buddha statue on the first floor is 11 meters high. Looking up from inside the tower, it feels even more majestic. Surrounded by murals of King Kong, Heavenly Kings, disciples, and donors, the brushwork is delicate and vivid, a unique painting style of the Liao Dynasty. The second floor suddenly opens up due to the light coming from eight directions. A main Buddha, two Bodhisattvas and two followers are arranged in vivid postures. The third, fourth and fifth floors also have Buddha and Bodhisattva statues. The statues on each floor are different and the structures are different.

The tower is surrounded by green vegetation in the garden, and all kinds of flowers are in bloom. We came to the wooden tower. Because there were not many tourists here early, we could look at it from all angles. Entering the pagoda is a tall Tathagata Buddha statue covered with dust sitting on a huge lotus platform. This lotus platform is carried by eight strong men, each of them exerting great strength, and the image is vivid and lifelike. Surrounding attractions
